Comment on WASC considers outside efforts ‘threatening’ to LSU’s autonomy by Ron Stone M.D..

Susie, You’re correct in your analysis of LSU regarding their “carefully crafted” bylaws and even worse, their PR statements. The high number of non-SDA students is also downplayed, as it at some other SDA institutions.

LSU needs a complete overhaul, but I doubt whether the Board or even the “constituency” will do anything. The Board does have the authority, but not the backbone or resolve to even attempt anything except Ricardo Graham’s “adjustments” which even he has said are failures!

WASC considers outside efforts ‘threatening’ to LSU’s autonomy

Susie, are you able to access the bylaws of other SDA universities and compare the language to those of LSU? With all due respect, I wonder to what extent “meager, token references to the church are couched very carefully with no real substance or admission of being true to the church’s standards” has been colored by your particular impression of the situation LSU.  

Same goes for Southern Adventist University website–under “about us.”

Prof, Simply to to Southwest Adventist University’s website and look at the home page. I think you’ll see a big difference. NO “couching” and “tokens” there. Or maybe I’m too “colored” also?

‘Receiving the Word’, 1996 published by Berean Books is very good.  

Yes, and “Must We Be Silent.” Both excellent and give a great background regarding the “bigger picture” that we are dealing with.

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.
