What don't you like about working at Olivet Nazarene University?

"It's zombie-land. The people are robots. All interpersonal relationships are superficial. Everyone is afraid to act anything other than PERFECT. Honesty always takes a back seat to smiley-faces. can you say in-bred There's little diversity, little educational professionalism, no research, but lots of posturing."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Just because they can say the J-word doesn't make them Christians. Being a Nazarene does not make a person a Christian. The focus on bodies, bucks, and buildings is more appropriate at WalMart than a private college. I would get the management - most of whom got their degrees on line - get out of their executuve tower and into the classrooms to see what's really going on. Or else hire better leaders."
