Cold hearted Randy Ruble, Erskine's finest

WELL Folks Erskine College, under the esteem leadership of Randy Ruble, has established another step in showing just what the College mission statement really means.
Randy Ruble has struck once again in the name of Christian Commitment.
Folks you gotta love this one: Along with auctioning off dates and having car washes with the young men wearing Speedos to raise money for the college; now Dr. Randy is pulling the rug from under long time employees in the housekeeping department.
Dr. Randy has just entered the College into a contract with Aramark, a giant in ancillary services of all types. What has Randy done to give the housekeeping department the security they once enjoyed at the small College located in Due West, SC? Randy jerked the security rug from under long time employees of the College. They went from being part of the Erskine family to numbers on the employee sheet of Aramark.
No longer will the housekeepers have the feeling that they belong to a caring college family. No longer will they have the feeling of the security they once felt while they were employees of Erskine College. Now they are going through mixed feelings of being thrown away to feelings of despair and feeling very insecure, thanks to Randy. The housekeepers went from happiness to great despair all in the name of Christianity.
By the way Randy, just what God do you and the College serve? Is there a new God that I have not heard about, is this a new-age God? What has happened to the teachings of the God that I have always heard of his name as having been, and will always be, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the same God as yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13-8)?
Now let’s add this up and try to figure out just what a Christian College is. Is this where you want you sons and daughters to attend school?
Your daughter may be auctioned off to date a young man she has never met. Your sons may be washing cars wearing Speedos. Your daughter may end up 90% naked sitting in a young man’s lap while he is holding a gun. How about a professor dating the students? All of this is going on in the name of Christian Commitment and Excellence in Learning. Is all of this being done with the board of trustee’s approval? Now that’s a very good question. Is this a Christian atmosphere or a scene from an adult movie?
My deepest condolences to the housekeepers and my sympathy to the parents that want their kids safe and thinking their kids are in a Christian atmosphere, and my admiration to the chief of Police of Due West for doing his best to keep all of the citizens of Due West safe.
Keep up the Christian work Randy. Lets not forget that the College charges the students a fee to go to church and fines them if they do not attend church. I am sorry I cannot reference this anywhere in any Bible.
It is my personal opinion that Randy Ruble does in fact want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.

Until next time, I remain a close observer of the joke of Erskine College.
Go Randy.

PS
To call my college a joke you are doing a discredit to every person who ever attended, worked at, or graduated from the school. You are putting down not just the school and its administration but every student who stepped on its campus and that is plain wrong. I do not consider the hard work and effort I put into my double major, organizations, and sport a joke. I along with so many others worked unbelievably hard at our courses and to make the campus a better place. I do not think the other people I graduated with especially the other girl who doubled majored in my field and has gone on to graduate school at the prestigious Johns Hopkins (and if I know her and her intellect she will probably be apart of the team that cures cancer)as well as so many others like her would appreciate your comments either. Thanks and if you would like to discuss this further outside of your blog I still have my erskine email with the name alafonta.
