Letters: Firing & following rules

image_pdfimage_print

We will probably never know the real reason for the firing of Ken Hall,  and maybe that is best.

But when you hired Ken Starr as president of Baylor University, what did you expect with the way personnel would be handled? Some university presidents don’t think they have to follow the rules.

Firing, ‘Baptist wars’ & Ebola

Regarding the firing of Ken Hall  at Baylor University, I guess all of us incorrectly thought the Baptist wars were over.  

Like Ebola, it pops up here and there to destroy good momentum.

‘Cowardly evasive’ action

Regarding the dismissal of Ken Hall at Baylor University: I find dismissing anyone “without cause” to be cowardly evasive. It typically means for “some cause” of which the bully doing the firing is ashamed or afraid he/she can’t reasonably defend or hasn’t the courage to do so.

It has no place among the followers of Jesus. And it ranks right up there with changing the locks on seminary president’s doors (at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1994).
