Let's get a bit closer to the truth, here.
He was not appointed as a scientist by CSUN.
CSUN spokesperson Carmen Ramos Chandler told CBSLA Armitage was a temporary hire between 2010-2013 and worked as an electron microscopy technician. She could not comment on the lawsuit as university officials had not yet received the complaint.
He was not employed to do research. He was employed as a technician. He thus was abusing University facilities. Instant dismissal in the country I live in.
Lets have a look at his qualifications.
Mark H. Armitage earned a BS in Education from Liberty University and an MS in Biology (parasitology), under Richard Lumsden (Ph.D. Rice and Dean of Tulane University’s graduate program) at the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego, CA. He later graduated Ed.S. in Science Education from Liberty University and is a doctoral candidate there.
Liberty and ICR? And they call him a scientist?
With those "qualifications" it was a bad idea to even employ him as a technician. Hopefully this will teach American Universities never to employ "graduates" from Liberty and the ICR; not even temporarily as technicians. Those guys are not there to do science; they're there to preach.
