Hypocrisy

I love it how they make you take off LiveStrong bracelets (you know the rubber ones for charity), but then proceed to sell the same thing badged with SAU in the campus shop.

Then they have the audacity to say you can't wear those on campus either because they are also jewelry.

It's the Pinnacle of hypocrisy.

The Oppresive Regulations of Southern Adventist University

The numerous arbitrary and oppresive rules enforced here at SAU really piss me off.
To list a few:
  1. In the new Wellness Center, sleeveless shirts are not allowed. Despite a prime view of shirtless men at the pool, the academic staff believes that sleeveless shirts on the gym floor promote "unchristian" values.
  2. Although mustard and pepper are not provided at any of the food venues, these items are sold at the Village Market (proudly owned and operated by SAU). This regulation is traced to literal, out-of-context interpretations of Ellen White's writings. Although the majority of the faculty do not believe in literal interpretation, the wealthy benefactors of the university do.
  3. Beyond trivialities, Southern Adventist University stifles spiritual maturation. Instead of providing opportunities for students to formulate ideas themselves, ideas are indoctrinated through propaganda in required worships. If the University wants to uphold its supposed commitment to spiritual growth, they must give room for growth.
So why would these seemingly obvious regulations still be in effect? The wealthy benefactors of the school (McKee, Hulsey, etc.) ensure that these regulations are implemented. As a result, the administrators of this school are nothing more than puppets. They are not concerned with the well being of the students.
