I would not be to concerned. Whatever the reasons these men have the highest recommendations and they can go on to get other jobs within our outside the church. It may be they decided it was time to move on for political or whatever reasons.

Interesting: it's very clear from what Dr Andreassen says that he didn't jump, he was pushed, and that the decision came from the board to him (suggesting that the board was, in fact, *not* shocked and surprised). The very, very long applause for him is telling.
If there wasn't a scandal, perhaps there is one in the very disparate versions of events being given out: everyone seems very keen to avoid being the ones who initiated the change...
I guess it comes down to whether people feel that the Board in fact has a coherent vision for the future direction of the University. It'll be interesting to see how they articulate that.

That has been an issue of discussion for several decades. The General Conference has generally opposed it, or it would have happened.

Okay, I can see Stan's point--knowing the visa restrictions and financial strain of getting to the US from "out there" it would make sense to have another seminary elsewhere. Wonder why they haven't done so? Greg, do you know why the GC would oppose an outside the US seminary?

I miss-communicated.
The GC has opposed a Seminary at Loma Linda.
We do have several Seminaries in other countries. The one in Russia is probably the best known one.
Others include:
The Chech Republic
Croatia
Bangladesh
Angola
Philippines*
Cuba
South Korea*
Africa (Several)
Sri Lanka
Brazil*
Pakistan
Germany*
Myanmar
Netherlands
Singapore
Sweden
Tanzania
NOTES: Those listed with a (*) are well recognized and somewhat equivalent to our Seminary at Andrews. Other listings are include schools that are college-level, and even Jr. College level, but they meet the needs of the countries that they serve.

How does a Seminary differ from a regular University that grants Phd's in somekind of Religious Studies?
