As a graduate of this university, it concerns me that only the positive attributes are mentioned in this article. It reads as if it were written by the university for advertisement. Wcbpolish (talk) 20:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cu sm.jpg

Image:Cu sm.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Cornerstone University's Mission

Cornerstone University's stated mission, "To enable individuals to apply unchanging biblical principles in a rapidly changing world," is a good and necessary one. Too many Christian colleges and universities seem to be slipping away from their biblical moorings, evidenced in an increasing tolerance of faculty support for pro-choice views, various versions of evolutionary theory, same-sex unions or even marriage, and the root of such thinking, a low view of the Bible as God's inspired Word. So far, Cornerstone University has avoided peer pressure from higher education to embrace moral ambiguity. The university has continued to support a pro-life philosophy consistent with Scripture, still believes the truth of the first three chapters of Genesis, and clearly does not accept homosexuality as just another alternative acceptable lifestyle. This is an important biblical testimony in a time when higher education is populated by academicians more attuned to culture than the Word.

To stay true to its essential mission, Cornerstone University will hopefully maintain its institutional commitment to a conservative evangelical understanding of the Bible. If it does, students will be able to learn unchanging biblical principles, will be able to wrestle with how these principles speak to current issues, and will be able to learn how to live their Christian faith in a way that honors God.

It's up to the trustees, president, and faculty and staff members to perpetuate fidelity to the Word. In the past few years, the school has done this admirably, accomplishing myriad critical changes while never losing its faith. President W. Wilbert Welch did it in his hour; Rex M. Rogers did it in his. May this ever be so. Amen and amen.Rekniht (talk) 21:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

And this has what to do with this encyclopedia article...? --ElKevbo (talk) 22:09, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

While I don't necessarily disagree with the above statement, I question why this is on wikipedia. It is clearly a POV statement. Oh, and much of the school does NOT hold to the truth of the first three chapters of Genesis- I was a student at CU, and the only department that consistently held that view was the Science department and they sometimes received "flack" for that stance from the Bible and Philosophy departments.
