New York Times : An astronomer, C. Martin Gaskell, who in 2007 was a leading candidate for a job running an observatory at the University of Kentucky, is now suing that institution—alleging religious discrimination. Gaskell, an evangelical Christian, claims that he was asked about his religious beliefs during the job interview and because of those beliefs he lost the job. The case represents a rare example, experts say, of a lawsuit by a scientist who alleges academic persecution for his religious faith.
