I came across this ad in a job application. I've worked at a Catholic university before, but on the other hand, why would I want to apply to a school that talked about teaching within an educational model within a Judeo-Christian tradition? Seriously?

And before anyone asks, the job isn't for a theology position. It's for a computer science/math position.

What do you think they'd say about an atheist minority applying for this job? D'you think I could get me some affirmative action going? ;-P

Five or six years ago, I just don't remember job apps saying this kind of thing. At least not at universities.
