I don't think so. According to the article, a peer review committee in fact upheld the Polanyi center's existence. Dembski then decided to do a little sack dance, and was fired as Director by the President of the University, apparently for not playing nice with others.

I'm not sure what Dembski's status at Baylor was. He seems not to have been on a regular faculty line, the title 'associate research professor' is usually not tenure track. In any case, he remained at Baylor until the term of his contract expired, last year.

Dembski was fired in Oct. A number of Baylor faculty had written the president in April asking "for the closing of the center based on its controversial work" according to the article.

Has any group (individual?) at Princeton asked for the firing of Singer?

Dembski then decided to do a little sack dance,

Why is this a greater offense than advocating infanticide?

apparently for not playing nice with others.

As opposed to the people who were trying to get him fired in April?
