The professor who recently parted ways with Wheaton College over her views on Islam is joining the faculty at the University of Virginia.
Dr. Larycia Hawkins will research relationships between religions and races at UVA.
Hawkins was teaching political science at Wheaton when she claimed that Christians and Muslims worship the same god.
To drive the point home, she put on the headscarf worn by some Muslim women to counter what she called "vitriolic" rhetoric against Muslims.
Wheaton announced last month that Hawkins and the school had reached a confidential agreement for her to leave.
