Louisiana College: Rename the School Contest!
Last week, it was reported that LC President Joe Aguillard may take the road less traveled and create a law school. I’m on the fence about it. Considering the droves of faculty members who were forced out of LC (I’ve heard something like six out of ten department heads and a combined total of over 470 years of academic experience) due to Aguillard’s bizarrely invasive Christian Committment policies (which, among other things, bans professors from being “seen in public” imbibing), I find it hard to trust any law school under the direction of the present administration, an administration which, from day one, has been battling a host of lawsuits.
At the same time, a law school could be great for our community. I’ll withhold my opinion until all the facts are on the table. That said, if LC does create a law school, it will be in store for a name change! In America, the term “college” applies only to four year undergraduate institutions. As Wikipedia explains:
“In American English, the word, in contrast to its many and varied British meanings, almost always refers to undergraduate university studies or to a school providing professional or technical training on a (loosely) comparable level. It can therefore refer to both a self-contained institution that has no graduate studies and to the undergraduate school of a full university (i.e. that also has a graduate school).”
So now the question is: What do we rename LC?

How about “Southern Baptist High School?”
The University of Jesus.
The “I Gave My College Years Away to Jesus and All I Got Was This Lousy Diploma” University.
I would have a problem with the credibility of a lawyer that graduated from a law school associated with a college that is leaning more and more toward fundamentalism.
How ’bout “Fundementalist Universal Christian Knowledge University”? I think that people would enroll just to get the sweatshirt from FUCK U.
LMAO!!!!!!!
“Repress U.”, “Judge U.”, “Preachto U”, and anything but “Respect U.”.
McCarthy Memorial University
I’m guessing they won’t have guest lecturers from the ACLU.
I’m guessing they’re checking the ACLU membership list against their database of professors and students for the next round of purges.
Where would the law school fit into our pecking order? LSU, Tulane, Loyola, Southern, and LC? In that order, or should LC rank above the others for teaching God’s law as opposed to man’s law?
6 out of 10 dept. heads needed to leave!
If professors want to “imbibe” (drink- for all of us common folk) in public, then they may want to pursue a professorship at a public university. Over 50% of LC’s annual budget is funded by the southern baptist convention.
It’s not a secret that the southern baptist convention does not support or encourage drinking.
Why not rename Louisiana Collgege what we have always called it? Holy Hill! Or, perhaps to update that a bit: Holier Than You Hill
I think ..BETTER THAN BEFORE COLLEGE would be appropriate. Ive been there for 4 years and it is much better now than before. For those of you such as Lamar who have no clue what is going on inside of the College why not leave your comments to yourself. I have a lot of money nd time invested in this institution that you are running down and you and your friends who speak of what they do not know are stealing from me.
How do you know it’s better than before when you’ve only been there for four years?
Yeah, you have a lot of money invested in your Louisiana College education. That’s why you should be worried about the numerous lawsuits, the throngs of professors who left, and the requirements that impede on the personal lives of students and professors.
No one is stealing from you. Is that really what they’re teaching you at LC? That people who speak out against the policies of the status quo are stealing from you?
“Is that really what they’re teaching you at LC?”
Fucking-A, Bub…..
.
I am a graduate from LC, “before” all of the changes, I have friends who are currently attending LC and from what I hear it is MUCH better now.
If I posted some of the material from my english classes, mr. “I don’t have a clue what’s really going on at LC” white, would remove them for being so vulgar.
If ya’ll are so interested in the happenings at a private college, then why don’t you schedule and appointment with Dr. Aguillard and go share your concerns directly with him.
You call the people from LC “holier than you”, when you are the ones judging people you don’t even know.
Two things:
1. I seriously doubt that I’d have to remove any course material that was once used in an LC English class. But it is interesting that you’d still be posting material that was taught before the changes. Either way, try me out.
2. I’m only reposting common knowledge, and no, I am not calling the people from LC “holier than thou.” I happen to disagree philosophically with the changes the new administration has made, but as has been tested in court, although the Board may have violated its own by-laws in installing the new president, as a private institution, it has the right to do so.
All the best,
Lamar
how about university of leviticus?
The irate LC grad must’ve been distracted by the vulgar material in his English classes and couldn’t concentrate on grammar.
While Lamar does have a measure of cynicism in his post regarding the LC administration’s directives for faculty, he does bring up an interesting point about the need for a name, should a law school be created.
Those of us who “do not know what’s going on inside the school” are a little like Will Rogers. We just know what we read in the paper: Witch hunts in the faculty ranks, purges, McCarthy type “informing” against drinkers and fornicators. I guess we should leave this blog to the brainwashed students and remaining faculty. Amennnnnn!
To the student who worries about this blog reducing the market value of his or her education at Louisiana College: You should be happy that you are graduating now. You had some classes with the excellent teachers purged or pushed out by the demonic posession of your school’s board and administrators. You graduated before the “Bible School” title bonded to your diploma. If you were to be a member of the Class of 2010, you would have been taught by the the mediocre mob of post purge purists who took their loyalty oaths under Aguillard. Drop down on your knees and thank Gawd, your Personal Lord and Savior, that you graduated when you did.
