Recently, an instructor at Roosevelt University in Chicago was
fired...for allowing students to discuss Zionism in a World Religions
class: see www.rafo.org.

You can't fire someone you haven't hired.

He'd been teaching there since 2003.

But, as noted elsewhere, the complaint was that his application to
teach a new semester, for which he had not been hired, was refused.

If all your employees have to reapply for their jobs a few times
a year, then you never have to fire anyone.
