I have reverted three major edits for the following reason:

  • In regards to the requirement concerning doctrinal standards, everything written there was accurate and verifiable. In particular, if you look at the CIU application for employment, the section concerning doctrinal standards explicitly states that Bible teachers (which includes professors of Bible) and individuals in undisclosed positions must affirm premillienialism as a condition of employment, just as they must affirm all the doctrinal standards as a part of employment. I fail to see why this section was changed to “although they may be hired even if they do not hold to that doctrine” since it apparently is not the case. Certainly, the standard is not in place for all positions, but the prior wording and the current wording were both very explicit and precisely mirrored the wording of the employment application.
  • The incident with Dr. Rommen occurred. By some accounts it was good that it happened, but others he was really unfairly worked over. Regardless, it happened, it is illustrative of the point, and as it was worded, it made no value judgment as to the propriety of the action.
  • The statistics concerning percentages of student enrollment are available on the CIU website, as are the statistics listed in the infobox at the top of the article. There is no specific reason I can think of for deleting them. Furthermore, if the percentages are to be deleted for whatever reason, it stands to reason that the ones statistics in the infobox should be deleted as well since they come from the same page on the CIU website. Since they were not disturbed, it was clear that those statistics were desired and therefore it was my judgment (as the person who originally put it there) that the percentages should have been retained as well. For this reason, I have restored them.

Though there is material in the section of lifestyle standards which I think could stand some work, I will refrain since there seems to be a flurry of activity over this subject and I fear my changes would only be quickly lost in the next flash of edits.
