Officials of a suburban Chicago Christian college has begun efforts to fire a political science professor who was placed on leave after saying Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
A statement on Wheaton College's website says Provost Stanton Jones has initiated a termination-for-cause proceeding regarding Larycia Hawkins.
The action follows efforts by college officials and Hawkins to work out their differences. The private evangelical school says those efforts have reached an impasse.
The college placed Hawkins on leave last month because of statements she made on social media about similarities between Islam and Christianity.
