Comment on WASC Reviews LSU’s Accreditation by Holly Pham.

Greg: Ervin Taylor, I don’t think you have any business commenting on things here. No one pays much attention to your mini rants.

Greg, I agree. But I think Dr. Taylor believes that he is gaining some ground by the few who support theistic evolution on this website, and they may someday take control over this website and have more likes than those who oppose evolution as fact.

He could, for example, ask those over on adventist today website to barrage our site to show how his progressive thinking is really the mainstream and the traditional and conservatives are simply extemists. They would give all the people like Bob Ryan, David Read, Shane, Sean, etc. lots of dislikes and Shane and Sean would thus be embarrassed by the apparent lack of support.

Dr. Taylor also has some support on Spectrum, and they could try to gather some others to dislike the above posters.

Is that your plan or tactic or wish Dr. Taylor? It appears to be.

WASC Reviews LSU’s Accreditation

Holly Pham: Can someone explain something to me? Did President Graham act independently, on his own, or with the Board’s permission, when he fired the individuals?

I asked this question last week. Doesn’t anyone know? I’m confused by the reports on this matter. It seems important to the matter regarding the WASC debate.


WASC Reviews LSU’s Accreditation

Bob Pickle: LSU stated:So what does that mean? That means that the WASC wants LSU to operate independently of the denomination. “Institutional autonomy.” And the WASC is concerned about how many church leaders and/or members are on the board, it appears.

Does anyone know of any documented examples of a Christian College that has actually been de-certified because they defended their Christian beliefs by firing someone?

There seems to be a lot of concern about this, but is it really something that has happened before. There a lots of Christian colleges.

calvin: Hello,I am a Seventy-day Adventist who happened to stumble over this site a couple months ago. I have one question. Really, what are you fighting over?Isn’t there a better way to deal with the issues that you (all) seem so torn over?

Calvin, Please tell us how you would deal with the problems at La Sierra. Shane and Sean are doing a great job, but maybe you can tell us how to do better?

@David Read, Can ET or Advindicate get an interview with somebody who actually knows, first hand, what went on with this AAA accreditation? What “deals” were made and by whom, why, and with what “strings” attached?

@Sean Pitman, I agree with the lack of transparency at LLU and virtually anywhere in our SDA system. The hiding behind closed doors is rampant, not only at LLU, but on the Conference level, Union, and even the GC. Try to ask anybody a really specific question. All you get is either nothing or another set of vague responses. Try it some time, and you will see what I mean.

Any insiders know WHY this happened? Was it part of a “deal” with AAA for accreditation?
