**Updated** Reinstated!

I just read this article saying that the University of Illinois reinstated Dr. Kenneth Howell! Praise be to God!

UPDATE: I just read a follow up article that said the University has reinstated Dr. Howell, but the university will now be paying his salary rather than the diocese of Peoria. Previously, the professor's classes were connected with the campus Newman center, and now there is concern that the university is slowly trying to gain ground toward having more control over Dr. Howell's classroom content. I remain cautiously optimistic, but the skeptic in me wonders that if there isn't an ulterior motive here, then why not just reinstate things the way that they were before...
