Univ. of MN sued for ties to faith healing
From the Citypages article:
In that case, filed earlier this spring, the foundation is suing the University of Minnesota for its participation in an entity called the Minnesota Faith Health Consortium. Among other things, the suit alleges that “religious indoctrination is an integral component” of MFHC and that “patently religious principles dominate [its] approach to public health.” According to its website, the MFHC seeks to “increase understanding of the links between faith and health, demonstrate the relevance of faith in wellness and disease prevention and initiate faith and health projects.”
The Astrology Health Consortium must feel slighted.

Well, every University has some weird stuff. I’m sure I could find more distasteful things here at the U. One thing to keep in mind, the U. tries to participate in all types of things to maintain ties to the community. Not a defense, merely a statement. I don’t like this either. Uf-da.
