Interesting point. Since they offer a degree in Biology, one wonders
what is taught in genetics classes.....

|I wonder if the joint participates in the federal Pell grant or federal

Not only are they VERY active in receiving Federal Grants and Loans,
they cost the taxpayer about 4 times the COA of a state supported
university student.

From the taxpayer's wallet to Gawd's purse.......



I wonder if it would be worthwhile to try to get the school
"disqualified." I don't object to church-related higher ed institutions
participating in federal or state grant programs for students, but
"Liberty" seems extremist and un-American, sort of like a Muslim
jihadist school, but for fundamentalist Christians.
