  Wheaton College fined for polluting river - The Boston Globe
Wheaton College has been fined $75,000 by the federal Environmental Protection Agency for polluting the Rumford River in Norton.
In 2003, EPA inspectors found that wastewater discharge from the school's Norton campus contained high levels of organic pollution and fecal coliform bacteria -- indicators that the school's wastewater treatment facility, which was built in the 1950s, was not filtering and treating the water properly.
Wheaton College could have faced a fine up to $157,500, said Jeffrey Kopf, an enforcement attorney for the EPA.

 FT April 2006: Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In 2004, the administration of Wheaton College chose not to renew the contract of Joshua Hochschild, an assistant professor of philosophy, for one reason and one reason only: He had expressed his intention to be received into the Roman Catholic Church.
This was a point lost on the concerned citizens of Wheaton in 1877—with their longing for the unspecifiable uplift of “moral and religious influences”—and it is equally lost on many of Wheaton’s critics today.
Wheaton could strike a great blow, not for insipid and vacuous “moral and religious influences,” but for true Christian unity, if it welcomed into its midst Josh Hochschild and other Catholic teacher-scholars who share his passion for Christian truth.

I was very offended by the comments made on your website about Wheaton College in the response to the PBS series.
When analysed, there is nothing in Wheaton’s protestations about the program which contradicts the evidence seen on the program of a compromising theistic evolution/progressive creation position being taught, and students adopting that position.
Whether he was aware of it or not, the Wheaton prof shown on PBS who taught his students that something was ‘millions of years’ old was actively opposing the Bible’s cosmology in a way which directly impinges on its soteriology.
