It's ONE thing when a college is bad enough to lose secular accreditation. But how AWFUL does a college have to be to get warned by a CHRISTIAN accrediting system? Shall we also mention the fact that Olivet University seems to want to time-travel back to the 1860s, where slavery was the practice in the Deep South.

I've heard some wild tales from Hemant in the past, but THIS ONE takes the taco!

There's the problem. They think they are allowed to do anything they want if they call it "religious". They think the Free Exercise clause exempts them from everything. Non-existent educational standards? It's a bible college, that's all the students need to learn. Slave labor? That's not what it is, it's biblical character building. Christian Fucking Privilege writ large.
