Okay, I read the article, but I could not find where it was stated that Dini required that students "to completely disavow any belief that a creator was involved". I just see a requirement that they accept evolution. (empahasis mine)

From the article:

The Web page advises students seeking a recommendation to be prepared to answer the question: "How do you think the human species originated?"

"If you cannot truthfully and forthrightly affirm a scientific answer to this question, then you should not seek my recommendation for admittance to further education in the biomedical sciences," Dini writes.(emphasis mine)

Accept and affirm. I think this is the crux of the issue, and I'm going to put a different spin on things.

Do you think it satisfactory to answer the question "How do you think the human species originated," with the affirmation: "...by the tentative theory of evolution"

The theory of evolution is not in the least tentative. That is simply a false statement.
