There's a presumption in higher ed that if you want to (or need to) slash and burn your institution, do it while there's an interim at the helm. That way he can light the place on fire with no repercussions.
I went to go see if they had any job posting for a new School of Fine Arts Dean. They don't. But go look at the same search I saw.
Now you can see nearly every department is hiring -- even Music. Here are two depts in the School of Fine Arts that are hiring.
See which organization is the umbrella organization doing the hiring? The one you would expect: BJU, Inc. That's what BJU is legally called now. That's the nonprofit arm. EIN #57-1088101.
That's what you'd expect to see.
But keep going. Look at the Communication Studies department's posting and the Health Sciences posting:
BJU Education Group is the for-profit arm of the Bob Jones University. That's the Press!
Is this a signal of things to come? Is Bob Jones University reorganizing so that either Health Sciences and Communication Studies are going under the Press? Or is it the Graduate schools that are going for profit?
Is this a clue??
