Scandal Puts Spotlight on Christian Law School

Monica Goodling, the former top aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, is at the center of the storm over the firing of US attorneys. Goodling, who resigned on Friday, has become the face of Regent University School of Law overnight. Founded by televangelist Pat Robertson, more than 150 Regent University alumni have been hired to federal government positions since President Bush took office in 2001. This practice has drawn a harsh spotlight to the administration's hiring of officials educated at smaller, conservative schools with sometimes marginal academic reputations.
