Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

The current president of the university is [Bob Jones III]?, grandson of the founder. It sits on a 225 acre campus, has a staff of 1,500 and a student body of 5,000, and offers degrees in 150 majors, plus additional schools for kindergarden through 12th grade. The college, like many other fundamentalist Christian schools, is not accredited due to concerns about governmental control over policy or curriculum.

The school's racial discrimination has a long history. Originally it refused to admit African-American students, until the government forced it to admit them. Then it refused to admit single African-American students, while it admitted single or married European-American students, until the government forced it to abandon this policy also. After that it adopted its current racially discriminatory policy, which it retains to this day (2001).
