Mar. 2--University of Charleston officials plan to revise a job posting that legal experts say breaks the law because it says applicants "must embrace a belief in God." The advertisement, which appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education this week, asks for applicants for the Herchiel and Elizabeth Sims "In God We Trust" Chair in Ethics. Prospective employees "must embrace a belief in God and present moral and ethical values from a God-centered perspective," according to the ad. UC President Ed Welch said the ad makes the school appear to discriminate for religious reasons, which he acknowledged was an awkward position.
