jesus christ (no pun intended), talk about the most square university ever.

edit, yes i know [words], but holy shit.

what are some other extreme conservative universities out there?

Quote :

"General rules Freshman and sophomore residence hall students must sign out before leaving campus; students with junior and senior privileges may leave without signing out between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Curfew is at 10:25 p.m., and residence hall students must be in their own rooms and quiet at 11 p.m. Lights must be out by midnight.[129] Each student is provided with a filtered e-mail account. Using unfiltered Internet access via computer, mobile phone, or satellite phone is prohibited for residence hall students. The university provides content-filtered Internet access for student use that blocks pornography, "lurid violence," racial hate, and other "objectionable content." DVD/VCRs are not allowed in residence halls; DVD players on computers cannot be used for watching films. Televisions may be used only as monitors to play video games. Residence hall students are forbidden to go to movie theaters or, when visiting local homes, to watch any films with a rating higher than a G rating. Residence hall students are not permitted to play, use, or own video games that are rated T, M, Ao, or E10 or that include profanity, sensual or suggestive dress, rock music, graphic violence, or demonic themes. Students may not listen to country, jazz, New Age, rock, or contemporary Christian music.[130] Residence hall students are permitted to work off-campus until 10:25 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends, and students may not serve alcohol nor solicit door-to-door without a retail license or permission from the dean of students. [131] The University will not allow anything displaying the logos of Abercrombie & Fitch or its subsidiary Hollister to be "worn, carried, or displayed" on campus even if the logos are covered because these companies have "shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions."[132] Male dress code Men's hair must be traditionally styled with a conservative cut. Hair must not be colored, highlighted, shaved, shelved, tangled or spiked. Sideburns may not reach past the lower opening of the ear. No facial hair is permitted; students must be clean shaven. (Some exceptions are made for older students.)[133] Men may not wear earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. Tattoos and body piercings are forbidden. Socks are required at all times. Hats may not be worn indoors except in athletic facilities. Sunday dress includes a coat, tie, dress shirt, dress shoes, dress or dressier casual pants. Morning dress on class days consists of a dress shirt (no denim or chambray) with tie, dress or ironed casual pants (no jeans, cargo, carpenter, or sloppy pants), dress or leather casual shoes. Shirt collar and tie knot should show beneath a sweater. Afternoon dress consists of a collared shirt (no crew necks), neat casual pants, dress or casual shoes (no slippers or sandals). Recreation and work dress may include jeans and t-shirts. Sleeveless athletic shirts may be worn during indoor activities only. Shorts may be worn by participants at athletic events but not by spectators.[134] Starting in the fall semester of 2008, students will be allowed to wear jeans and collared shirts when off campus, though on-campus dress code will remain the same.[135] Female dress code General and classroom dress for women is a dress or a top and skirt. Loose-fitting slacks may be worn between female residence halls, to athletic events, and when off campus. Jeans are not permitted because "of a modesty issue....because it is difficult for young ladies to find modest and appropriately fitting blue jeans."[135] Women may not wear shorts outside the residence halls and the fitness center. Underwear should not be exposed in public, and colored underwear should not be visible through outer clothing. All clothing should fit correctly without clinging, and there should be at least a 3/4-inch fold of fabric on both sides of the hips and bust. This "ease" may be measured by standing straight and pinching the loose fabric on both sides of the hips and bust line. The middle area of the torso may not be exposed, and tops must be long enough to meet the top of the skirt or pants. Sleeveless tops and dresses may be worn with a blouse, jacket, or sweater; otherwise, sleeves are required. Necklines may be no lower than four fingers below the collarbone. Tops may be fitted, but not clingy. Hemlines, slits or other openings may never be higher than the bottom of the knee. Denim skirts are allowed for casual dress but not in class or for other professional events. Shoes such as combat boots or hiking boots are not permitted. Hairstyles must be "neat, orderly (no spiking), and feminine. No masculine cuts or cutting edge fads. Hair color must always appear natural." Tattoos are prohibited. A maximum of two matched sets of earrings are allowed, and they must be worn in the lobe of the ear. No other body piercings are permitted.[136] "

Quote :

"In the summer of 2005, the university announced it was slightly relaxing its in-class dress code to allow flip-flops, capri pants, jeans, and other casual articles of clothing (but not shorts) to be worn in the classroom as long as the clothing did not have holes in them. Rules such as collared shirts for male students still apply. Faculty members work under a contract requiring them to abide by similar behavioral codes."

one thing's for sure, with that many rules, I wouldn't be allowed to go there for long

check this out, from Pensacola Christian College

Quote :

"PCC also has strict policies regarding mixed-gender interaction. Physical contact between members of the opposite sex (including shaking hands) is not permitted under any circumstance. Written permission of the dean’s office must be procured for all off-campus meetings between members of the opposite sex. In addition, all mixed-gender meetings (on and off-campus), must have a PCC chaperone present.[6] All stairwells and elevators on campus are segregated by gender. In the absence of being able to have physical contact, a fad has developed among dating students on campus where couples stare deeply into each other’s eyes. This practice by students is variously called "eye kissing", or "optical intercourse" and is jokingly called "making eye babies."[6] This activity however is discouraged by the administration."

Quote :

" Regent University is a private coeducational interdenominational Christian university located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States. The school was founded by the American televangelist Pat Robertson in 1978 as CBN University. "

Quote :

"Many of Regent University's graduates have had success in public service, entertainment and the legal community. Alumni currently in American politics include the Attorney General of Virginia and likely 2009 Virginia gubernatorial Republican nominee Bob McDonnell,[64] Assistant U.S. Secretary of Labor Lisa Kruska, and Louisiana State Senator Sharon Weston Broome.[3] Monica Goodling, 1999 graduate of Regent Law and former Director of Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of Justice from 2001 to 2007,[65] is best known for her involvement in the dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy[66] as was her press aide, 1998 law graduate, John Nowacki,[67][68][69] and Goodling's predecessor, 1998 School of Business and 1999 Robertson School of Government graduate Susan Richmond.[67][70][69] Jay Sekulow, a Ph.D. graduate, is Chief Counsel for Pat Robertson's American Center for Law and Justice, a non-profit public interest law firm specializing in constitutional issues of religious freedom.[71] Troy A. Titus, Regent Law graduate, son of the founding dean of the school, Herb Titus, and previously a nationally known asset protection expert, is best known for losing his law license for defrauding his clients, many of them elderly."

You're a sick bastard to steal from the elderly. That's a fine Christian U they got themselves there in Regent.

Edit:

Oh, this is what I originally went to the wikipedia page to look for

Quote :

"According to Regent University, more than 150 of its graduates have been hired by the federal government since George W. Bush came to office in 2001. As it was previously rare for alumni to go into government, Boston Globe journalist Charlie Savage suggested that the appointment of Office of Personnel Management director Kay Coles James, the former dean of Regent's government school, caused this recent sharp increase in Regent alumni employed in the government.[17] An article about a recent Regent graduate who interviewed for a government position and Regent's low school rankings were cited as an example of the Bush administration hiring applicants with strong conservative credentials but weaker academic qualifications and less civil rights law experience than past candidates in the Civil Rights Division.[17] In addition to Savage, several other commentators made similar assertions.[52][53][54][36]"

That's right folks, we've filled our halls with the finest in Christian idiots just jumping at the chance to write legislation to take away your civil liberties!

I want to go to their campus, sit in a class wearing cutoffs, sandals, and a wifebeater, and then tell the prof. to go fuck himself if he says anything about it. Seriously, why the fuck would anyone attend this prison camp voluntarily, other than it was the only scholarship he could get?

[Edited on October 27, 2008 at 2:48 PM. Reason : :]

10/27/2008 2:47:37 PM

i'm guessing that most of the people who go to the school are willing to obide by most of those rules. to you and me it seems crazy (it is) but obviously there are people out there who somewhat value this kind of atmosphere for whatever reasons.

secondly, it's a private campus and if you went in that class dressed like that i'm sure they are well within their legal rights to tell you to leave and even press trespassing charges. just because they have stupid rules doesn't mean you get to be a badass in their house.

10/27/2008 2:58:38 PM

This is terrifying to me.

10/27/2008 3:08:26 PM

yeah, i talked to a kid that went to byu and he said that you had to have the mindset and the desire for that level of subordination

[/anecdote]

10/27/2008 3:19:39 PM

the phrase "making eye babies" just illustrates the kind of emotional immaturity that results from stifling natural social interaction

I had TWO buddies of mine from HS that went to Liberty. Neither of them made it past the second semester.


They were both VERY smart kids, but also huge potheads that liked to do pretty much everything outlawed in the rules there.

One of them was fined 100 bucks for saying "damnit" after a vending machine took his money and a bystander ratted him out for it.

Bob Jones freaks me out, but I know two good people that have attended and graduated from Liberty.

One was a guy I went to high school with. He was also very smart and all into drugs in high school. Sometime between nearly failing high school and his first few years in community college he became a born again Christian... went to Liberty...surfed and studied abroad in Costa Rica...married a chick he met in college...and is now in medical school at Michigan State.

10/27/2008 3:41:50 PM

omg howd the school get my parents list of rules for living at the house?

10/27/2008 3:43:08 PM

Abortions are also 500...I'd assume that would have resulted in expulsion.

10/27/2008 3:43:48 PM

I think that is $500 on top of whatever other punishment... So they could charge you that and kick you out.
