Mike Pence Has a New Job

Nearly six months after ending his Republican presidential campaign, former Vice President Mike Pence landed a new teaching job at Grove City College in Pennsylvania.

In a statement posted last week, the conservative Christian college said it was establishing a Center for Faith & Public Life “to support the presence of Christian faith in public institutions.” Pence will help launch the initiative, serving as the Distinguished Visiting Fellow.

“The appropriate role of faith in the public square is a major issue in this moment of our American life,” said Grove City College President Paul McNulty. “The Founders envisioned a free society sustained by a self-governing citizenry and strengthened by virtues rooted in religious belief. At the core of Christian faith is the call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. The Center will examine how and why Christians have sought to put their faith into action for the common good.”

Judeo-Christian values are coming under increasing attack in America, the statement noted, and the new initiative will bring awareness to the vital and historic relationship between public life and faith, and how faith can be integrated into public policy as well as other sectors of society.

“Mike Pence is the perfect choice for the Center’s first fellowship,” McNulty said. “No one has pursued this calling more sincerely than the former vice president. He is an extraordinary role model for what it looks like to lead with wisdom and winsomeness in public life, and he will be a leading source of thought leadership and an impactful voice of the Center.”

Pence, who was on campus to address a conference held by The Institute for Faith & Freedom, said it was his "great honor" to serve in the position.

“Faith and engaging in public life are not mutually exclusive, nor should they ever be. History shows that Christians steadily working toward the common good have changed the world, and Grove City College opening a center shows they are committed to continuing this work.”

The Democrats launder their bribes through book deals and academic appointments.

Swabbing toilets in a Greyhound bus station? Seems about right.

I think Pence would be good at this job of teaching Judeo-Christian values....except for the part about sticking to the truth when it gets tough. A lot of us FReepers liked him as Gov of Indiana and standing up to the gay bully lobbyists ... until it got too tough.

Mike Pence and Conservative Christian don’t belong in the same paragraph.

Payoff. Not a book deal, but a payoff all the same.

To be fair, unlike Biden at Drexel, Pence will actually teach a course there.

Isn’t Grove City an institution that doesn’t take federal funds?

I sure hope that the enrollment at Grove City College in Pennsylvania declines.

This is Mike Pense now, "Look Pedro, I don't know how they do things down in Juarez, but here at Grove City College we have something call pride."

Have you heard of Hillsdale College?

RE: Isn’t Grove City an institution that doesn’t take federal funds?

Yes, it is well known for refusing Federal funds. One of the handful of private colleges like Hillsdale College.

There was a well known case that went to the Supreme Court known as: Grove City College v. Bell in 1984. It’s a significant case concerning Title IX and how it applies to educational institutions.

Here’s a breakdown of the case:

* The Issue: Grove City College challenged the application of Title IX, a law prohibiting gender discrimination in federally funded education programs. The college argued that since they refused direct federal funding, Title IX shouldn’t apply to them, even though many students received federal financial aid.

* The Court’s Decision: The Supreme Court sided against Grove City College in a 6-3 decision. The Court ruled that Title IX could apply to the entire institution if a significant number of its students received federal aid, even if the college itself didn’t take direct funding.

* The Aftermath: This decision had a big impact. Grove City College opted to withdraw from federal financial aid programs altogether rather than comply with Title IX regulations.

In response, Congress passed the Civil Rights Restoration Act to expand Title IX’s reach, but it was vetoed by President Reagan.

The Grove City College v. Bell case remains a debated topic, particularly regarding the scope of Title IX and the balance between federal regulations and institutional autonomy.
