Bob Jones Library FAIL!

I ordered a book for a friend through my new home library's Interlibrary Loan, and the book, it turns out, originally came from Bob Jones University. Inside the front cover was the following sticker:

They stock their library with evil books so that they can stay accredited? Big time academic integrity FAIL!

How much do you know about BJU? Failing at academic integrity is the norm.

Well actually my dear, they aren't accredited, at least not by one of the regional accreditors...and trust me, that's the one that counts. And I may be wrong here, but I believe that despite their Christian-only accreditor's recognition by the USDoE they cannot draw Title IV funds for their students.

erika. you are correct. they do not get title iv funding hence students do not get pell grants or federal loans. they are not accredited therefore their students do not graduate with a degree that is recognized by other institutions. a degree from i.t.t. is more valid than bju.

Which book contained the sticker?

I graduated from a different Christian "college" in Greenville that thought Bob Jones was too worldly...but I am much better now

I couldn't help it. I reposted the picture and made a poll as to which book was most likely stickered...
