Toy's resignation from Southern Seminary was not forced. According to John Broadus, he was aware that his teachings were out of sync with the seminary's doctrinal statement, so he resigned on his own initiative. The trustees overwhelmingly accepted his resignation. Would he have been fired had he not chosen to resign? Probably, but that's conjecture 67.45.99.173 (talk) 01:03, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did some more reading on the subject in A Gentleman and a Scholar, by John Broadus. According to him, Toy presented a written summary of his views to the trustees and a defense of them. However, to take pressure off the trustees, he also offered his resignation.
