Adam Greenway, former president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, has filed a lawsuit against the seminary and former trustee chairman Danny Roberts, seeking unspecified compensation for defamation of character that he says has left him unemployable, according to reporting by Baptist News Global.
Greenway was forced out as president in September 2022 for financial mismanagement, a little more than three years after assuming the presidency of the Fort Worth, Texas, school owned by the Southern Baptist Convention.
“The defamation of Dr. Greenway has been widely publicized, resulting in severe damage to his reputation and rendering him unemployable in the professional capacity for which he is qualified,” the suit states.
