St. Cloud University in Manysnowta To Cut 60% of Minors, 42 Degree Programs

 



St. Cloud State University finalizes plan to cut back on degrees, minors amidst budget problems

Nearly one in three degree programs at St. Cloud State University will get the ax, due to budgetary problems.

Roughly 60 percent of minors are also getting the boot at the public university, according to a recent announcement.

“In a presentation to the campus community on Tuesday, SCSU Acting President Larry Lee confirmed the university will suspend 42 degree programs and 50 minor programs,” KARE 11 reported yesterday.



The Jesuits Love Pride Month - And Why Not?

From Ichabod -

Erik Ankerberg, PhD - Marquette University, Jesuit to its core. Will he hire back Gregory Schulz, a fellow Jesuit PhD?


John F. Johnson, got his PhD from the Jesuit St. Louis University, because he thought his Concordia St. Louis ThD was useless outside of the Missouri Synod. He sports the lopsided smile so familiar in the Olde Synodical Conference.


I visited Johnson in his office at Concordia, St. Louis, and got him to start raving about how great the adulterous Karl Barth (Swiss theologian) was. He saw I was not on his adulatory wavelength and immediately switched to another topic. He discussed having a ThD from the LCMS was worthless outside of the LCMS, so he earned a PhD at St. Louis University to be more marketable in academics. No wonder Missouri was so eager to make Johnson a higher education leader.


Guided by our enduring Jesuit mission, we offer our nearly 13,000 students a highly rigorous and deeply transformative education that helps them develop into bold, confident leaders. Rated among the nation’s top research universities, SLU boasts 15 graduate and undergraduate programs ranked among the top 50 in the country by U.S. News & World Report.


I could not find David Luy on LinkedIn so I just googled his name + Lutheran. That brought up the page from his previous job at Trinity Divinity. He got his PhD from the Jesuits - Marquette! All roads do lead from Rome nowadays. I need to build a gallery of Jesuit PhDs:

  1. John Sparky Brenner - WELS professor at Mordor, Dean of GA Hazing Rites.
  2. Jack Kilcrease - Our Lady of Sorrows Convent School (a nominal LCMS guy trained in ELCA albeit born in a WELS parsonage).
  3. Gregory Schulz - LCMS ex-professor, C.U. Mequon.
  4. Karl Fabrezius - LCMS pastor.
  5. David Luy - NALC Seminary.
  6. Charles Cortright - Wisconsin Lutheran College, WELS.
  7. John F. Johnson and.......drum roll
  8. Erik Ankerberg, Marquette U. PhD
Sparky Brenner proves that WELS is in fellowship with everyone except Martin Luther.
The Jesuits were organized to destroy the Reformation.


Not one of these Lutherans would admit knowing that I exist, and I know four of them one way or another (fewer is better).

Maybe if I wore all black and always played word games with the truth...

The Pope is a Jesuit, not a Franciscan.

This year, more than half of Jesuit universities in the U.S. offered worship in the pagan’s temple, celebrating “pride month.” According to a report from The College Fix, 15 out of 27 American Jesuit universities publicly celebrated LGBT-themed sin on their social media pages. Other Jesuit universities hosted “pride month” events.

It will no doubt come as little surprise that Jesuit schools have so blatantly celebrated the sins of sodomy and pride. Prominent Jesuits such as James Martin and Thomas Reese have spoken well of homosexual relations for years and have (both implicitly and explicitly) endorsed the contraceptive and abortive agendas of the world.

In a June 26th article, "A Few Thoughts in Response to Some Questions & Concerns Regarding Ann Arbor," Indiana District President Richard Stuckwisch, who is also an advisory member of the CUWAA Board of Regents, stated in part:

quote:

Please note that I am not writing on behalf of the CUWAA Board of Regents, but rather as the president of the Indiana District, especially for the benefit of those under my ecclesiastical care.

The primary question and concern that I have heard and seen from multiple people over the past five months is, “Why the urgency of action in regards to the Ann Arbor campus at this time?” It has come as a shock to many, seemingly out of the blue, and in apparent contrast to indications that all was going well. I understand and sympathize with the confusion and frustration. But the truth is that current circumstances have been developing for some time, to such an extent that the University is really behind the 8 ball now, and the sooner steps are taken, the better, in the hopes that both campuses can survive and thrive into the future. Significant actions are being taken on both campuses, but the situation in Ann Arbor is more urgent, the necessary changes greater. The goal is to act now, before it is too late to turn the tide....

The dire problem has been that the cost per student has been as great or greater than the revenue received in tuition per student. In other words, the greater number of students at Ann Arbor has actually not improved the financial position of the campus... [Boldface added]
