According to the article, UC admissions officials have refused to certify some science and other courses, particularly those using curriculum developed by Bob Jones U and Abeka Books. As a result, The Association of Christian Schools International has filed suit in federal court.
A UC spokesperson said the University has the right to set entrance requirements. She futher stated:
The questions for debate are:These requirements were established after careful study by faculty and staff to ensure that students who come here are fully prepared with broad knowledge and the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed.
1) Is the UC system justified in refusing to certify courses they deem to be of poor quality because of the creationist viewpoint of the courses?
2) Does the Association of Christian Schools have any grounds for filing suit? What are they?
I am particularly interested in science courses, especially those pertaining to evolution. However, the article does note that some non-science courses, including one entitled "Christianity's Influence in American History," have been rejected.
I do not know at this point any of the particular rationale for the rejections, what was found objectionable in each case, etc.
