Well the short answer why they did it was to avoid the obvious collision with the secular accredation comitte.

From a political view the problem was caused both by what the university was teaching and by Michigan Conference voting to defund it from subsidy.

Assuming the leaders have worked behind the scenes to placate the Michigan Conference folks the issue will go away as a public issue and that is what is desired by the leadership.

Its easier to silence Michigan than it is to fight the accredation battle.
