Update on anti-gay HR woman

The University of Toledo fired Crystal Dixon, the associate vice president of human resources who wrote a guest column in the local paper stating that homosexuality is optional. I blogged about her last week. She is considering legal action, possibly on First Amendment grounds, according to Inside Higher Ed.

From Inside Higher Ed:
An assistant to Dixon’s lawyer said that she was considering suing the university, either on First Amendment or other grounds. A statement from the university defended the dismissal saying that Dixon’s views were “in direct contradiction to university policies and procedures, as well as the institutional core values as defined in our strategic plan, and called into question her continued ability to lead a critical function within the administration as personnel actions or decisions taken in her capacity as associate vice president for human resources could be challenged or placed at risk.”
Here's the student paper's story on it.
