When we first reported on Boston College Law professor Scott Fitzgibbon's anti-gay marriage advertisement in Maine, we noted that the classes he taught were not germane to his views on gay marriage:
According to his bio, Professor Fitzgibbon teaches jurisprudence, corporations, securities regulation, and contracts. Are gay and lesbian BC Law students comfortable learning about these subjects from an anti-gay marriage professor?
But the Boston College Law School website Eagleonline has done some fantastic investigative journalism and revealed that Fitzgibbon teaches what he preaches:
In the Spring of 2008, a group of Boston College Law School students enrolled in Professor Scott T. Fitzgibbon's "Marriage: Law and Theory" seminar formally approached Dean of Students Norah Wylie to express concern over Fitzgibbon's allegedly improper conduct in class.
Can the law school claim that it is "welcoming" to gays and lesbians when it had an anti-gay marriage professor teaching its marriage and the law class?
Let's look at the students' complaints after the jump.
