Mercer University and Shorter University represent opposite trajectories on the landscape of American education.
Shorter University and Mercer University are institutions of higher education in Georgia, and both have been historically related to the Georgia Baptist Convention — the state’s largest Baptist group.

Seen together, the actions taken by the schools point backwards to critical decisions made in the past, forward to issues that will be faced by every college, and directly to the present, where the future is taking shape before our eyes.

Early last month, President Obama bragged to a St. Louis crowd about the recent Health and Human Services’ regulations that will require thousands of religious employers to pay for contraception, sterilization and drugs that probably cause abortions.

After one year as president of the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., John Garvey took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to announce a change in his university’s policy for housing students on campus: a return to all-male and all-female residence halls, and the gradual elimination of mixed-sex buildings. According to the Washington Post, Catholic University first changed to “co-ed” housing over two decades ago and currently houses both sexes in eleven of its seventeen residence halls—though men and women remain in separate floors or wings, unlike the latest fashion of shared suites, bathrooms, and even sleeping quarters at some universities.

The following press release, dated October 7, comes from the National Marriage Project, based at the University of Virginia, which has been following the marriage gap trend for some time:

I posted some time ago an article about the high cost of college and the crippling burden of student loan debt. The article made two points that ought not to be controversial. 1) Before spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an education, one ought to crunch the numbers to make sure that investment is worthwhile. 2) The burdens of student loan debt can ruin one’s life, including one’s marital prospects.
Imagine my shock when these propositions turned out to be controversial. So, in hopes of saving heartache to readers, Read more…
