very true...but I was speaking of one who once held the same position as Prevo. While you are correct regarding the use of Scripture...one would hope the "leader" of a Christian university would be more discerning of the use of Scripture.

We shouldn't generalize. Specifically, how did the new administration misuse scripture? Or is this just another mundane exercise in evangelical hair-splitting?

A bonus episode dropped today covering the sexual assaults that lead to the lawsuit. Heartbreaking stuff to say the least. The silence from leadership on this is deafening.

The allegation by one of the Jane Does that her underage nude photos could have been shared was chilling. The entire episode was extremely disturbing.

Are we to assume Jonathan Falwell doesn't know how to use email? Either that or he ignores a whole lot of important ones.

Word is Prevo is back in Alaska this week, the first week of school.

If true, that's not good. He should be on campus, working.

He was on campus for Freshman/new student convo last week.

I think this may have been mentioned somewhere before, but Andrew Cuomo is now available. When you said "serious," I honestly can't think of a more serious individual.

Bonus episode. This stuff is madness. It includes serious allegations of the godparent home.

Just finished listening and I am gobsmacked by the last bit that connects this story to a previous one. I don’t know how there can be any doubt that these things happened and that LU and all involved police departments failed these women immeasurably. The Christian thing to do would be to admit fault and work for justice for these women, but unfortunately I get the impression that the board and administration see their primary duty as fiduciary, not caring for the actual people who have been entrusted to LU’s care.

And don’t worry, @Purple Haize, there’s only a single mention of the Godparent home and it’s more about how the LU administration spoke of the Godparent home in this situation rather than anything to do with the work of the Godparent home itself. Basically, the dean of women said “well, we might have to kick you out and take away your scholarship for all of this (getting gang-raped and becoming pregnant), but if you go to the Godparent home and give up your child for adoption, you can get a scholarship that way.”

The Godparent Home is a shadow of what it used to be. They serve very few girls, and the ministry really doesn't get the support it needs.
