No. This is deceptive, Sam. I know you have to justify that $100k salary, but you’re being deceptive. 

There were not 800 students in that gymnasium. There were just under 600 -- or ~580. But the way you presented the picture and then that number makes it sound like these 800 students were present, when clearly they weren’t present.

Where were these additional 200, Sam?

But wait -- Randy Page published that there were 700 “first-time freshman.” 

Which is it? 800? 700? Or the obvious count, ~600?

It doesn’t matter in the end. The alumni believe the biggest number, they repeat the biggest number, and then they add false historical statistics to it:

The largest freshman class since 2013? Well, let’s see. WutBJU keeps track, you see. 

678 is what BJU reported to the state in the Fall of 2013. Those are full-time students.

WutBJU predicted this summer that BJU would have about 666 Freshmen pictured in the Vintage. To compare apples-to-apples, in 2013 there were 821 Freshmen pictured. 

Imagine on a random rainy Saturday in February, you and your family are having an at-home-and-chill-day. Your oldest is napping. Your youngest is playing Minecraft. Your spouse is puttering around the house. You’re reading, relieved that the weekend chores got done early.

You hear a knock at the door.

Who could that be on a day like today?

You see this face through the peephole.

Who could THAT be? Is it a JW? No, they only travel in pairs, and there’s just one of this guy. Mormon? No. . . . no bike. Steak salesman?

Curious, you open the door. 

“Hi! I’m Dr. Ormiston from Bob Jones University. I was traveling in the area for a pastors’ conference, and BJU gave me your daughter’s name as a prospective student. And I thought I’d just come by and answer any questions she might have.”

What would you do next? 

If Bob Jones University has its way, this scenario is going to be happening all over the country. Yes, BJU has told its employees that before they travel, they should check in with the administration for names and addresses and other contact information of prospective students so they can connect them face-to-face.

BJU -- the same school that has had and ignored a comprehensive investigation for its campus sexual assault -- wants its employees to pop in at your house to talk to your child. 

BJU is giving out contact information -- phone, address, email -- of minor children to employees who are traveling to your area. 

Why? Not to “minister,” but to market Bob Jones University.

Wow, Sam. Transparent much?
