Stop me if you heard this before: President of Calvin university must resign. Guess why?

Before you click on the story give me your best guess as to why this god fearing Christian university president has to resign.

No peaking.

Click here to see why an upstanding Christian resigns

Boinking his secretary?

Arrested for solicitation?

And I don’t want to hear any Calvin jokes. “This was destined to happen”.

I’m going to guess weird sex stuff dwags

Paying for an abortion after gay sex with his dog?

Just wondering if they have a campus in Ottawa County.

Saw the headline this morning so really can't post in this thread about why.

Spreading his demon seed?

I bet he's a republican/libertarian.

F it, I'm clicking the link without guessing, the suspense is killing me.

Spoiler:

The article there says there is no implication of sexual misconduct.  

The quote from "Inside Higher Ed" this morning was more direct:

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/02/27/calvin-president-quits-amid-charges-unwelcome-communication

"Boer, who became president of the Christian university in Michigan in 2022, did not do anything of a sexual or physical nature, Calvin’s statement said."

Given that

“but the alleged conduct is concerning and inappropriate,” the school wrote.

It could be that he suggested to a colleague that productive LGBTQ faculty should not be fired or perhaps he endorsed Joe Biden for president using his calvin.edu email address.

As demonstrated by Calvin's recent history that would be consistent with the rest of the statement in the press:

“Dr. Boer denied some of the allegations but did admit to sending communications that were inappropriate and inconsistent with the high standard of conduct and character expected of the president of Calvin University,” it added.

So a smoke screen because he was bonking his (trans) personal assistant?

well, I have no idea..

but just look at these type's fearless leader, his lies, his corruption, his sexual (consensual and otherwise) behaviors and the standard he sets.

hence my reservation on accepting their 'official statement'.

What can be an inappropriate text message to somebody that is working under you in some capacity?

Something to do with race?
Something to do with ethnicity?
Something to do with misogyny?
Something to do with berating and underling?
Or what they have eliminated something to do with sexual advances or innuendos?

Taking "God's" name in vain?

Sign of the times.  Back in the day, before email and texting a university president could say inappropriate things to a female and have deniability.  No more.

An acquaintance’s son is married to a Calvin VP (also a Calvin undergrad).  I saw him when this story broke and his defense was former President Boer went to Calvin for his undergrad but “He went to Yale for his PhD.”

Already blaming the Ivy League influence.  Not that the guy eff’ed up and maybe their search committee missed something.
