Comment on [6/17/11 UPDATE] Two administrators, one biology professor, and one board member resign by Ron Stone M.D..
David Bee: @Ron Stone M.D.: Graduated Andrews 1961 with BA religion, incidently one of the only two seniors who passed the graduate record exam. Several failed to score at all in the humanities section. Sad commentary on the narrow “education†we had paid for.Professors were luminaries such as E R Thiele, D A Augsburger, Sakai Kubo, Ivan Blazen, Seigfried Horn and others deceased.Seminary leadership was forced out or restrained in later years as Gerhard Hasel was imposed by GC leaders. That was the end of un-restricted Bible scholarship. We were taught to understand the Bible through the experience of the authors in the context of their audience. Now we must only teach what religionists of the last 100 years think the author meant. Disregarding archeology and literary knowledge which has increased.We learned to see the spiritual beauty and grandeur in the allegorical majesty of the creation myths handed down to Isreal from even more ancient cultures.Now there are seminary faculty who state in church publications that the laws of Leviticus are still in effect. A view that would surely have astonished EGW.
So, your world of distant decades past has changed? Welcome to what we call “reality!”

Shane Hilde: @Professor Kent: I’m speculating of course, but I lean toward the recording being the clencher in all of this. I’m sure people who have it are wildly passing it around and eventually it will surface. Then commenters won’t have to rely on your assessment.
Shane, It seems like just about everyone has heard it, why not just share it with everyone and let all decide what is actually said and what it means?

Adventist kid: @Ron Stone M.D.: Fair enough. Care to explain why most of the sites to help select colleges are aimed at students, not parents? Do parents go set up profiles at Zinch or any of the other sites?I just graduated from high school, got courted by a huge number of colleges thanks to scoring in the top 3% on the SAT, a great GPA and extensive extracurriculars. Note that they courted me not parents.
They may be “courting” you, but SDA (not necessarily public schools) also know that parents should be comfortable with the reputation of the school.
LSU knows that these embarrassing events are going to be more important to “explain” to adult parents, alumni, and others.
Don’t think so. Then listen to the tape!

David Bee: @Ron Stone M.D.: Tenured professors have a formal protective process before they can be terminated. Both resigned possible from their tenured positions as well.
Do you know this or just a guess? I certainly hope they’re gone from LSU completely!

This is the typical garbage that has been coming out of PUC for many years. People wonder why our colleges are losing students, despite the fact that we take more and more non-SDAs each year.
My Goal for La Sierra University
The reason the LaSierra situation has gone uncorrected so long is that most of our administrators have exactly the sort of political instincts that Dan Jackson has. They are politicians and consensus builders; they want to keep the peace and make the trains run on time. But the circumstances call for men of principle, hard men who are willing to stand for the right “though the heavens fall,†i.e., regardless who is offended and loudly complains.
Dave, I agree with you. Jackson’s trying to play on “both teams” is not going to go well for him.
Unfortunately, politics is the “SOP” of many of our SDA officials, Jackson being just one. “Political instincts” are the rule, instead of actually doing what is “right” according to what we know in God’s Word.
Bradley, Beach and Kaatz retain attorney
Shane Hilde: Think big fish: LSU or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Graham might not have followed procedure with these men, but I don’t know what the procedure is. I’ve read what the process is in the faculty handbook, but I don’t know if that applies to administrative positions which are at will employees. If it does apply to them, then it appears the process was not followed.
Trustees book says, in 6,9,F, that the Trustes may “discontinue” virtually anyone working at the university.
Does that mean to “fire” or to “force their resignation? Seems like it does.
