Atheist Student Leader OK at Ore. Christian School

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/atheist-student-leader-ore-christian-school-20832552

EUGENE, Ore. November 9, 2013 (AP)

Despite a public declaration that he's an atheist, the student body president of a Christian university in Eugene isn't in trouble with his school.

Eric Fromm wrote an article for the student newspaper last week disclosing what many on campus already knew: He doesn't believe in God.

He says he enrolled at Northwest Christian University because he liked the school's communication curriculum and the one-on-one attention he would get from the faculty at the 600-student school.

The university's vice president for enrollment and student development, Michael Fuller, said he's long known of Fromm's lack of belief, and didn't question his election.
