"The matter's behind us, it's been resolved in a collegial fashion

i.e. swept under the rug as much as possible.

To its credit, the university launched an investigation immediately after Emily's case was filed and has taken appropriate action against the professor

I missed it - was he "appropriately" fired so that he'll have to get a real job where tax payer funds aren't paying him to harass Christians?

"After Kauffman filed the grievance, Brooker faced a lengthy session of questioning by an ethics committee, during which she was asked questions like: "Do you think gays and lesbians are sinners?" and "Do you think I'm a sinner?"

That sounds like a civil rights violation - of targeting a Christian prejudicially specifically on religious beliefs which are protected by the free exercise clause. Educational institutions are not supposed to discriminate based on religion.

So much for that "diversity" that is supposed to stand for part of
the word "university".

"I would definitely do this again. It was very important to me to let my voice be heard. I was very afraid for other students that didn't want to stand up, didn't want to say anything or question the authority that the professors have in the classroom," she said.

Glad she stood up and won. Praise the Lord! I have a great fear for the future of our nation if the populace is so easily intimidated into silence by those who would abuse their authority--using the smokescreen of education.

Emily Brooker was vindicated when the university agreed to an out-of-court settlement, and the professor was disciplined.

Why is it, they never fire anyone in education? If it were any other industry in which an employee caused his employer to get sued, they would be out--period.
