Comment on Board requests progress reports from LSU administration by DORA.
There is no doubt in my mind that profs teaching error *must* be removed unless they have a change of heart and mind.  ONE: Just exactly WHAT do they want to see happen?
TWO: WHEN do they expect to see action taken? No time limit is established. LSU could effectively wait until this errant professor(s) has retired, then hire someone that fits the standards already established.
MY QUESTION: How many more students do they want to be influenced to disbelieve, and wash out of truth, before action is taken? For how many souls lost do they want to take responsibility??
Those professors that cannot tolerate SDA beliefs on this subject should be honest and mature enough to voluntarily remove themselves from LSU employment for the sake of the students. Â
Let’s be honest now–how long would “Catholic†teacher who believed and taught the seventh-day Sabbath and who taught it along with the belief that Sunday worship was a mark of the beast last in a Catholic college? “Academic Freedom?â€â€¨Forget it!!! (Even the thought sounds pretty silly, doesn’t it!) Â
John Howard sent in some good reading material in which I agree very much on his end quote.
THEY NEED TO MOVE ON THIS – TOO MUCH TIME IS BEING GIVEN TO SOMETHING THAT IS SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG IN OUR SCHOOL
And from Part III, Section 6, page 78:
(b) Termination for Cause
(1) Adequate cause for a termination will be related, directly and substantially, to the fitness of faculty members as teachers or researchers at La Sierra University. A faculty member may be terminated only for conduct that violates university policies as set forth in this handbook and significantly impairs the University’s ability to function.
(2) Grounds for Termination for Cause
(v) Flagrant and overt disharmony with or subversion of the philosophy, objectives, and lifestyle expectations of this Seventh-day Adventist university as determined by the Board of Trustees and delineated in its current mission statement.
