As part of University-wide budget cuts, the Harvard Divinity School has decided to temporarily suspend its Program in Religious Studies and Education (PRSE), according to program director Diane L. Moore.
PRSE is a two-year program that allows students to simultaneously obtain a masters in religious studies and a middle or secondary school teaching license.
“Though disappointing, I believe the decision to put the Program in Religious Studies and Education on hold for two to three years is the right one in the face of the fiscal challenges facing the school,” said Moore in an e-mail statement. ?...
Retired Lexington High School history teacher Jeff Glew, who has worked with many student teachers from PRSE, said that the religious training has brought a “unique twist” and “significant value” to their teaching.
Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the committee, challenged Kagan over memos she had written while clerking for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall that asserted that religious organizations tend to promote their own beliefs via government-sponsored social programs.
