It’s clear to any reader that religion — specifically Christianity — has a strong presence and influence on campus. Many students have active interests in Christian groups, and their reasons for including themselves are by no means uncommon. To some, it provides a unique opportunity for insight into the ethical and moral dilemmas of adulthood as well as a strong sense of community. But there exists a gap in understanding between the students who take part so avidly and those that do not. Sam McClain is a senior studying electrical engineering who attends the St. Anthony Orthodox Church in Bozeman. He spoke about finding community through one of the campus ministries when he first arrived at MSU. "These ministries want you to know that even though you may not agree on every single topic — like politically, or whatever it may be — if you both believe that there is someone named Jesus Christ who is the second person of the Godhead, that is something you can relate to,” he said.

You are not sick—you just cannot face work today. Do you call in sick?

Your employer offers sick leave but no personal days. You are not physically ill, yet you feel exhausted and know a day away would help. Saying you are sick is the only way to take paid time off without explanation.

Do unjust workplace rules change the duty to be truthful?
