Larycia Hawkins, Wheaton College professor, reaches agreement with school

Larycia Hawkins, a professor at Wheaton College who faced termination from her tenured post at the evangelical school for publicly saying Christians and Muslims worship the “same God,” has announced in a joint statement with the college that she will leave the school.

The statement said they reached a “confidential agreement under which they will part ways.”

Wheaton president Philip Ryken e-mailed students, faculty, and staff Feb­ruary 6 to announce that the “complex and painful” controversy has now “come to a place of resolution.”
