Inside Higher Ed published a story on today about the possibility of Sheldon Jackson being sold to a for-profit educational institution. In the article, President Dobler was quoted as saying that the college "is not for sale and the mission of the college is not up for grabs", but that there were for profits interested in an arrangement that "would not completely reshape the college".
I now wonder if Doug Dye's (a friend of Dr. Dobler) visit to campus was more than just an interview regarding the Dean of Academic Affairs position. Doug Dye is from Grand Canyon University, a formerly private Christian university with financial problems (sound familiar) that was purchased by a group of investors in 2004. The result, massive layoffs and lax academic standards according to faculty.
Time will tell..

Are we positive they are not talking about SJ? Shockingly similar. Sadly, I never even heard of GCU...
Chronyism lives!
I've enjoyed reading your insights and comments here. Thanks for keeping an eye out for all of us (the interested parties with no other way of obtaining information about SJC).
Best of luck in your new position, I know you'll succeed at whatever you put your efforts towards.
