Catholic School Tells Profs to Get Separate Rooms

Officials at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota have told co-habitating professors that they'll need separate rooms for a school-sponsored trip to Australia. A lesbian who directs the school's choir was also told her partner could not accompany her for a trip to France. Said one professor: "If sin and vice become disqualifying factors for university employees, then students might have to start teaching themselves." The St. Paul Pioneer Press has the story here.
