BJU -- Education in Hell

[Cinjin]

So the following are a few excerpts taken word for word from the BJU Student Handbook issued 2010-2011 school year.

Mind you ... WORD for WORD ... and these rules are for COLLEGE students. Some of it reads like the Puritan handbook of 1606

Enjoy ... I'll post more later.

Pg. 13 - While professors are in a position of God-ordained authority in the classroom, students and professors are also brothers and sisters in Christ and in the event of some form of disagreement should approach one another respectfully and in accordance with biblical principles
Pg 20 - Physical Contact:
On and off campus, physical contact between men and women students is not allowed.

Pg 21 - First-year privileges:
Student will check out when he/she leaves campus and check in upon return.
• After 8 p.m. needs to be accompanied off-campus by another BJU student or another person (21 or older) of the same gender
• May work off campus with a permanent work pass and will check in and check out for work
• Is to work in a public work situation or with another student when working in a private home unless working at a faculty or staff home
General privileges:
These are available to all resident students from the beginning of their third semester through the time they earn advanced privileges.
A residence hall student with general privileges will enjoy all first-year privileges, plus
• Will check out and check in only when dean’s approval is required to obtain a pass (see page 24)
• May travel off campus in his own vehicle for work, church, personal errands and extension
• May go off campus alone for an errand or shopping after 8 p.m.

Pg25 Dating Non-students
• With dean’s approval, resident male students may date a commuter student or non-student in town, including the daughter of a faculty/staff member living at home.
• To date a non-student in town, women students are to be chaperoned by either a faculty/staff member or her parents/grandparents or those of her date.

Pg. 26 - Local concerts—Before purchasing tickets students should check with the School of Fine Arts and Communication office to ensure the event is approved.

Pg27 - Restaurants—Students are not to patronize restaurants with a tavern or bar-like atmosphere or reputation or that does not have a dining room separate from live entertainment, such as Coffee Underground.

Pg22 Note: A student with advanced privileges is responsible for the safety and activity of any group he oversees. He is proactive in working to prevent problems before they begin and seeks to remove obstacles to purity, safety and accountability. A student with advanced privileges understands that integrity must not be compromised, and rather than being swayed by negative peer pressure, is loyal to Jesus Christ, the principles of Scripture and BJU’s expectations. Students failing to maintain qualifications or abusing advanced privileges will have advanced privileges suspended.

Pg 18 - Chapel
Students are to attend chapel Monday through Thursday and every day they have a scheduled exam.

Pg. 18 - Absences and Lates
• Absences require prior approval. Emergencies will be handled on an individual basis.
• Dental or medical appointments are not to conflict with non-weekly required activities such as Day of Prayer, Bible Conference, commencement, etc.
• Students arriving at a required activity more than 20 minutes late will be considered absent.
