School-Specific Discussion

Belmont University and Manhattan College: Both universities identify themselves as being Equal Opportunity Employers, but both clearly state that they won't hire a non-Christian/Catholic person, respectively. I don't even know what to say.
- (8/12) With all the pitfalls of the academic job market and within the music theory field specifically, it is incredibly frustrating to be ineligible for one of the very few available jobs because of my religion. I understand the right of a private institution to align with certain core values but it just really sucks that because I happened to be born into a different religion (of which I am not even observant) I am immediately ineligible regardless of my academic and professional qualifications.
- (8/12b) This discussion seems to come up quite often. I would like to point out something similar happening with cohort hires. A few positions last year specified a certain race in their posting, and I heard through the grapevine that some others specifically looked for a woman even though nothing of the sort appears on the positing. Is it wrong to either diversify your faculty or ensure it adheres to the same core values? I don't think so. Does it make it any less frustrating to see an opportunity where you're qualified for everything except for race/religion/gender/something else you can't change? Absolutely.
- (8/15) Neither ad explicitly states that they will only hire people who identify as Christian/Catholic. I can't speak for Belmont, but I do know two people who are tenured at Manhattan College (not in the music department) who are not Catholic. One is Jewish, and the other is openly atheist and could easily be found out as such through his personal website, which is linked on his faculty profile. Neither had to prove their loyalty to the Catholic Church in order to be hired, or make tenure. A job ad stating that an institution identifies as Christian/Catholic is a far cry from only hiring people who subscribe to that faith.
- (8/17) From the Belmont listing exactly: "the University seeks employees of Christian faith who are committed to the mission of the University. Belmont’s Office of Human Resources will conduct ongoing evaluations of the means by which candidates for employment are sought, to the end that the pool of candidates will include qualified women, minorities, veterans and disabled individuals." - and there was also something about having to proclaim your faith if hired. Certainly seems like they will only hire a Christian.
