Regent University Fires 3 Law Professors

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Three law professors considered rebellious by Chancellor Pat Robertson were fired May 23 by Regent University. Five new faculty members were hired as the as-yet unaccredited law school of 350 students continues to pursue certification by the American Bar Assn.
Regent officials said the dismissals of Paul Morken, Roger Born and Lionel Postic had nothing to do with their protest of the removal last year of Law School Dean Herbert W. Titus, a professor with controversial conservative views.
The three were dismissed because of “a lack of scholarship,” and a bad “attitude,” said Titus’ replacement, Dean J. Nelson Happy, who said he made the decision alone.
