New Developments in a story I posted earlier -- UW Eau Claire's attempt to stop resident assistant from leading bible study ends for now.
There was no policy in writing, so it could not be officially enforced. Now, the system will write new rules governing these sorts of questions.
The question remains: should resident assistants, paid for their work helping students in the dorms, be able to lead bible studies in their rooms? Does it hurt their position as an accessible resource for students in the dorms? Will students of different faiths be able to feel comfortable when the person tasked to help them through the vagaries of college life suggests that the best way to do it is to abandon their own beliefs for his?

This story in the Badger herald discusses how the issue is handled throughout the Big 10.
