The leadership team at Regent has made some real strides in recent years. For example, their law school is now fully accredited, and does well in student competitions. When Oral Roberts "gave" the school to CBN, it was unaccredited, and viewed as a joke in the legal education community. There are still a few snickers about "God's law school" from the secularists, but the school is doing well, and it benefits from maintaining a healthy distance from CBN and Pat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712369389411084085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1136566504708552702006-01-06T11:55:00.000-05:002006-01-06T11:55:00.000-05:00spook86, I attended the then CBN University very b...spook86, I attended the then CBN University very briefly back in 1987 (grad school, one semester). To this day, I recall two things regarding the school and Dr. Robertson from back then:<BR/><BR/>* CBN University (now Regent University), at the time a very young school - only ten years old - was very well run, and had an exemplary list of grants and endowments upon which for the school and students to draw (can't say about it now, but back then, the school's philosophy was strictly against borrowing money for educational purposes, especially if the borrowed funds had any strings attached by the Govt)<BR/><BR/>* Administration officials I spoke with back then were actively working to separate the school from the twin shadows of Dr. Robertson and the Christian Broadcasting Network, as Dr. Robertson had a proclivity to making public statements that those officials considered embarrassing to the school and its administration.<BR/><BR/>I personally find it a shame that Dr. Robertson continues to forget, or perhaps to disregard, the amount of weight his words carry - at least when he says something that lands him in hot water with the press. Like it or not, he is considered by many to be a very public figure, and one can only wish that someday, he will begin to weigh his words like one, BEFORE opening his mouth.Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552045133035246679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1136563943392968012006-01-06T11:12:00.000-05:002006-01-06T11:12:00.000-05:00Or perhaps God is in Rambo mode.
