When you come back, why not forget about boring ole LBU and help me gut shills? It's lots more fun.

May you receive refuah nefesh and refuah shlemah.

Be well, my fearsome friend.

Pax tecum.

Hang in there my friend! I am sorry that there is so much going on in your life.

Look forward to your return (and your scanning your UNIZUL diploma for us).

"On the basis of its academic standards...(LBU) is comparable to other FULLY ACCREDITED (caps mine for emphasis ) universities." (p.14, 2003-2004 Catalogue).

To LBU's credit, however, I do notice a fantastically huge increase in the ratio of UA "profs" to "accredited" when comparing my 01 catalogue with my o4 catalogue:

Of course ALL the administration as Dean of the seminary and Dean of Biblical Studies, both of their assistant deans, the Dean of CE, and the Director of curriculum development too still do their job just as well as their counterparts at RA schools with, in EVERY single case, unaccredited docs from, you guessed it, LBU!

Still, this does not really matter since LBU's standards are " comparable to other fully accredited universities." This would have the logical effect that a Dean of Seminary or a Dean of Biblical Studies or a Dean of Curriculum just doesn't need an accredited doc. His doc is just as good.

The big difference, between 01 and 04, however, in the number of faculty with accredited docs, is in the "Personnel."

Here in 01 (if I count rightly) there were 31 docs 7 of which were accredited --a very modest 22 %!

But, (hold on to your seat now) , the 04 catalogue (if I count rightly) shows 36 docs with a whopping NINE of these accredited for a mind boggling 25% oif the faculty have accredited docs..

From 22% to 25%!!!

And, in only THREE years too

But I blather on, unable to change anything, impotent, inefficient, and totally self-serving

--sigh--

so unlike those humble grads who labored at Andersonville those long , looonnnnng 8 months to earn the coveted title of Doctor.

Well, not "coveted," that would be wrong.

Another interesting "red flag" is that nearly 60% of the faculty have either the doctorate or their highest degree from LBU (although a few have second doctorates from other institutions).
