US Rankings make me want to :banghead

If someone was to go through and audit the numbers given to US Rankings by all of the schools I bet the accuracy rate would be 50% at BEST. Heck the questions they ask are (in my opinion) purposefully vague. I've gotten calls from others schools asking what definition we are going to be using because they were unsure themselves.

Easily the best interview I've ever seen JLFJR give. Mentioned that we are the world's largest Christian university JUST ENOUGH that it wasn't repetitive or that it sounded like we were trying to hard, but enough that people remember it as well. The answers to the questions were spot on and echoed what I've been trying to say throughout this topic. Would this interview have occurred if "XYZ" pastor had spoken?

He even gave a token of appreciation to the First Lady. Overall the best interview he's ever given.

Completely agree.

to answer your question though logic, Its good to have expectations, but you ought to temper them with a spot of reality. LU is growing yes, but we cant get too far ahead of ourselves. Jerry Sr dreamed of 25K residential but we barely have enough for the 12,500-13,000 we would have now. At this point lets work with what we have and take care of the projects we have on the docket now then we can think about whats next

Quit pretending like their aren't standards for us with your ANY publicity is good publicity talk.


"Though Liberty’s financials were shaky, Falwell Sr. had become a household name through his church and televangelism. He also gained publicity for taking controversial stands in the national media, and some sound bites, like his quote blaming gays, feminists, abortionists and others for the September 11 terrorist attacks, still are cited in the media.

“There was almost this philosophy of there was no such thing as bad publicity,” Falwell Jr. said. “Whatever it took to get the word out. If it meant getting beat up in the press, at least they were talking about us.”"

No one agrees with the 9/11 comments, and I think we all can see that Doc went a little overboard there. With regards to Romney however, in this case it was good publicity, that is all I am saying. Of course there is a line. Having Romney speak at a commencement is not crossing it.

Good to see the Liberty Journal arrive with a cult member on the cover and the Chancellor standing right there applauding. That's exactly the kind of message LU should send about people who openly deny the Lordship of Jesus.

Maybe we can get Bretbart to get a photo of Godwin and the Rev Moon. That would make the conspiracy complete!

I mean if he genuinely didnt like the choice of cover photo he could have just sent a PM to the chancellor (who does read them) or sent an email to the appropriate person in the administration instead of pulling a necro on a topic that hasnt been touched up til his post in almost a month

While I think he can often be a complete maroon, and is in this case, this is as fine a place as any to post his grievance, no matter how irrational.

Mormons do not deny the deity of Jesus. Get your facts right before you start your incessant whining about all things Liberty.
