It looks like the U is moving in the right direction and is no longer seeming to be tentative nor seems to be taking baby steps.

An independent contact/watchdog organization was supposedly the One Thing that would show once and for all that BJU is not a bastion of unspeakable evil… and the thing that would never happen because it is a bastion of evil.

… so where are all those attackers now? I hear crickets chirping.

You’re right. The silence from man made noise is deafening. I hear the bull frogs croaking and the owls hooting.

I don’t see any downside.

One interesting detail I hadn’t realized before: when they put together the study group to evaluate the Univ’s policies etc., they included several from the community. Great idea… since you’d want how you’re perceived in the community to be a part of your process.
