Comment on WASC considers outside efforts ‘threatening’ to LSU’s autonomy by john stevens.
The accrediting assn may have been tipped by LSU in order to get leverage against the church to do what they want to retain accreditaiton. Our biggest mistake in education was to submit to accreditation, wanting approval of the world instead of the approval of God. The University of Chicago was one of the most enviable universities in the US and never were accredited. Their repuatation was all they needed. LSU is worth many tens of millions and is owned by the church but some apparently want the money to keep pouring but ignore the right of the church to guide it. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. The golden rule is that he who has the gold is the one who rules.
