911 “Truth” Professor Placed on Leave

Steven Jones has been placed on paid leave while BYU reviews his involvement with the 911 Truth Movement.

Deseret News:"BYU has repeatedly said that it does not endorse assertions made by individual faculty," the statement said. "We are, however, concerned about the increasingly speculative and accusatory nature of these statements by Dr. Jones."

Last fall, BYU faculty posted statements on the university Web site that questioned whether Jones subjected the paper to rigorous academic peer review before he posted it at physics.byu.edu. Jones removed the paper from BYU's Web site Thursday at the university's request.

Also see Allahpundit at Hot Air. Allah thinks he must have been getting to close to the trooooeeeth about the Joooooooos and hitlerbushmchellibacon.
