“Students rallied Wednesday behind a theology professor who was asked to step down from his position after coming out as transgender to officials at a Christian university,” NBC reports.
Last month, Professor H. Adam Ackley, formerly Heather Ann Clements, asked the private Christian school to recognize his name and gender change. Shortly after, the university asked him to resign.
“He’s the greatest professor I’ve ever taken, so by taking him out of the classroom, especially mid-semester, is doing the students a huge disservice and it’s a huge loss to the university,” student Margaret van der Bie said to NBC.
… The university said it respects the students’ protest, which included signs and t-shirts in support of Ackley.
