She signed her contract knowing this.
I understand this but you're implying that the religious sect running
the college really doesn't believe that there is only one God in
the Abrahamic religious tradition. The "Statement of Faith" that
Wheaton uses does not explicitly state this -- see:
http://www.wheaton.edu/About-Wheaton/Statement-of-Faith-and-Educational-Purpose
So, how does her comment violate this statement. Quoting from
the NY Time article,
|"I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they,
| like me, a Christian, are people of the book," she wrote,
|in part. "And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship
|the same God."
Or was it her mention of Pope Francis that got her into trouble?
Are the folks running the college anti-papist? See the Wikipedia
entry

which will probably redirect to this entry:

No wonder Trump is so popular.
Do evangelicals not consider Islam one of the Abrahamic religions?
