Eric Hedin, the associate professor of astronomy and physics at Ball State University who was investigated in 2014 for allegedly teaching intelligent design, has earned tenure. That’s despite claims that he was proselytizing in a science class and the university’s strong affirmation of the scientific consensus around evolution in light of the allegations. Hedin declined comment on the promotion, and a university spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions about how, if at all, past concerns about Hedin’s teaching were resolved.
