Carson-Newman Crisis Milestones

This site reports that we have just passed 100 days since the no-confidence vote for Carson-Newman President Netherton, and, that the Carson-Newman trustees are only a day or so away from meeting. It is clear that Tennessee Baptists have not been given a clear view of what has been going on at the college for (at least) the last 5-6 years. Personally, I am not sure that we are getting a clear view even now. Our own state convention paper doesn't appear qualified to do investigative reporting and is satified with re-printing the spin coming out of Carson-Newman's PR department and the mainstream press.

What I do know from reading the Concerned Carson-Newman College Alumni and Friends site is that there is more than mere bickering going on and that these issues cannot be swept under the rug.

I am praying for Carson-Newman today and for the decisions facing their Board of Trustees in the next few days. I hope that you will join me.
