Thank you for the report of the July 19 Louisiana College trustee meeting and
summary of the urgent issues facing our college. The forthcoming Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools (SACS) visit is good news. I hope there is a way to
convey to the SACS team that many Louisiana Baptists who support the college
have grave concerns about decisions being made by the trustee board, such as
actions that compromise academic self-governance.

Perhaps the Baptist Message has offered us a means to speak out about the control
of Louisiana College by an interest group – a group of 18 trustees using divisive
tactics to call meetings and carry on business behind closed doors.
