re: Anybody in Ellick have an update on the LC student strike?

I hope that the school can survive this. I think politics have entered into a religious arena and they don't mix too well. It's time to get the school back on the right road and that's serving the Lord.

All I really know about LC is as a young 16 or 17 year old Pineville High student, I quickly realized the advantage of having a fresh crop of Baptist Ministers daughters away from home unsupervised the first time in their lives every Sept.

It was like shooting fish in a barrel.

I would be surprised if people dont go to jail over the law school deal.

Glad they are getting exposed...Needed to happen!

Booooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!

Those are certainly two conflicting view points.

Ilm inclined to believe this MTTiger guy. Things don't sound like the LC I grew up next to.

You sir have no idea. I was once a supporter of the administration. I was also friends with many of the liberal alums that you refer to and would defend Aguillard and the rest of his minions. They did nothing to burn me. I graduated from LC with no problems, and, as you can tell by my username, used my degree to accomplish something greater. When I was at LC, I was a part of several student organizations and played a leadership role in all of them. I watched Aguillard do whatever he wanted and literally tell the student government that the students had no voice on campus. I believe his exact words were "the right of the first amendment does not apply to the grounds of Louisiana College."

I also watched him allow the football program do nothing but drain money from the school and allow the players to make a mockery of the institution. While doing so, I watched Aguillard do all he could to raise money for the half-stadium, while he refused to acknowledge the Town Talk's documentation of the rotting student dormitories.

I thought I could quietly go off with my degree and leave LC behind, only to find out that through his very public announcements of the LC Law, Medical, Divinity, and Film schools, he had done nothing but make Louisiana College a laughing stock amongst those institutions already established in the state. For students in all fields working their asses off to make a name for the school, he did nothing but drag that name through the mud.

You say I have no idea but believe me, all of those items mentioned in my previous post and in this one are quite true. And sadly, I haven't even approached the subject academics under Aguillard, which you would think would be the top item in a school with only 1100 students.

For those who may not know, Louisiana College in Pineville, LA had a very strong pre-med program FOR DECADES. Students came from far and away for the pre-med cred. I know 4-5 such people who attended LC, but grew up very far away, where the accents are very different, who are accomplished physicians now, one has been in a teaching position with one of the LSU hospitals for about 20 yrs.

Sorry to hear that an undergrad institution could nearly implode, like what is presented here. Everyone needs to appreciate what they've got. And then some.

Prayers to LC.

Very rough explanation:

Calvinists: God has a set people he chose. You don't choose God. He Chooses you. Predestination

Non-Calvinists: all have a right to be saved if they call to Christ.

While I identify myself as a Calvinist, too much emphasis is placed on theology within the Christian community. It's sad and mind-blowing the problems theological differences can cause.
