I've posted references to Paul Mirecki before -- just last week when he was assaulted by two men at a bar, and last month over the escalating prominence of the Kansas 'Intelligent Design' debate.
An AP newswire article, via CNN, now reports that:
A University of Kansas professor who drew criticism for e-mails he wrote deriding Christian fundamentalists over creationism has resigned as chairman of the Department of Religious Studies.
Paul Mirecki stepped aside on the recommendation of his colleagues, according to Barbara Romzek, interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Contacted by The Associated Press, Mirecki declined to comment about his decision, only saying he was still a member of the university faculty and planned to continue teaching.
