South India? Since when has India been split into directions?

I hope that Rev. Highsmith will continue to be active @ Battell. Her leadership and influence have blessed & made Battell a welcoming place for all.

Since forever? It's a naming convention that seems to work quite well in many countries - you may even be familiar with its use in the US. Or did the capitalization confuse you?

The University's involvement in religious life is outdated.

Both for students of faith, and otherwise, it would be better for the University, like the government, to hand it over to private management. Then the university wouldn't have to agonize over these politically correct choices. Students could attend church, like everyone else in the nation, where they so desired, with whomever they so desired as the head.

The University makes absolutely no effort no provide us with a moral education, or to teach us the meaning of life. As such, it has abdicated the responsibility to be responsible for what was formerly a University church.

In today's relativistic world, with all religions and faiths (and cults) on the same playing field, the University would do well to leave religion where it belongs: With the students, their parents, alums, and private citizens.
