U.S. Court Rejects Creationist School's Lawsuit Over Bid to Offer Master's
Degree

A federal judge has tossed out the Institute for Creation Research Graduate
School's lawsuit against the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board over
the board's decision, in 2008, to reject the institute's bid to offer a
master's degree in science education. In a
ruling<http://ncse.com/webfm_send/1380> issued
last Friday, Judge Sam Sparks of the U.S. District Court in Austin, Tex.,
dismissed the institute's lawsuit summarily, writing that it "has not put
forth evidence sufficient to raise a genuine issue of material fact with
respect to any claim it brings." According to the institute's Web
site,<http://www.icr.org/> its
mission is to equip "believers with evidence of the Bible's accuracy and
authority through scientific research, educational programs, and media
presentations, all conducted within a thoroughly biblical framework."
