Just a side note here… Alexander Campbell was more than “a well known pastor during the Restoration Movement.” He is one of three key individuals (Barton W. Stone, Thomas Campbell, and Alexander Campbell) for which the Stone-Campbell movement (i.e.: Restoration Movement) is named. Alexander’s portrait is located behind Dr. Berryhill’s left shoulder, as she stands in front of Thomas Campbell’s (Alexander’s father) pulpit located inside the Center for Restoration Studies, that you see in the video.

Thanks for visual reporting…

Because that will make complete and total since. The tuition increase has nothing to do with the new rec center (or so the administration says). Which i will believe is true. Not something directly to do with the rec center at least. ACU is claiming to be a ‘premier university’ which is a joke in and among itself, along with claiming baylor and SMU as ’sister schools’. Our siste schools in fact are more along the lines of Harding, Lipscomb, and Pepperdine (to a much much lesser extent). This rec center is to get acu’s name out there by attracting rich students, who want something fun at school, that do not get accepted to SMU, TCU, and baylor and decide to go to acu because of a free ipad or iphone. after all to them its just daddy’s money. To get everything else remotely close to those true premier universities acu is going to have to raise tuition to pay for improvements in the campus and facilities. ACU seems to think way to highly of itsself. While it is a decent (not premier) university it has a long way to go before its premier. We do not have a law school, med school, very many masters progams, and no true doctoral programs. To be on par with those universities we would have to get all those and much much more.
