Court limits sex bias at religious colleges.(NEWSWATCH)
Employees may sue a religious school for job discrimination if the school's reasons for its actions are not grounded in "faith, doctrine, or internal regulation" of the church, according to a recent ruling by a federal appeals court.
The decision comes from a case in which a female chaplain, Lynette Petruska, accused Gannon University PA, a Catholic school, of sex discrimination. Petruska claims that college officials forced her out of her school chaplain job due to her gender and her challenging sexual harassment by college leaders.
The ruling breaks legal precedent on employment claims brought by clergy. Seven of 11 federal courts have recognized the "ministerial exception" under the First Amendment, by which federal courts in the past have shielded religious organizations from such employment claims.
