| Could they improve by teaching the Gospel instead of this drivel? |
The list of departing LCMS colleges is growing:
- Ann Arbor - Best compliment - better than Mequon with a 50% president.
- Mequon - Goner from the start - the Catholics dumped it.
- Texas - Freedom! Adios!
- Portland - HotChalk disaster.
- Valparaiso - LCMS in the past.
- Concordia NY - sold to a happy buyer.
- Selma - closed.
Someone opined that the college student census is figured to drop in a few more years.
ELCA began the college closings soon after its conception in 1987 with 5.3 members and a current count of 2.9 million today (Wickedpedia). Not a single manager has said, "We have nowhere to go but up!"
ELCA cleverly kept the seminary names (most of the time) but reduced floor space and faculty all over.
- LSTC - had to sell the building and move into Roman Catholic rental space.
- Luther - had to start selling off land to stay afloat.
- Southern - is allied with a college.
- Trinity - once the seminary of Lenski, Loy, Leupold, lost big in a huge lawsuit.
- Pacific - land sold for a Muslim college, now renting space down below.
- Wartburg - seems to have obtained more funds.
- United was created out of Gettysburg and Philadelphia.
