Unfortunately, Jeffress is not misinformed.
Though Baylor has many Bible-believing faculty, staff and students, much of the leadership cannot be counted among them. The Religion Department is especially bad, but there is a growing number of faculty and staff that publicly reject Bible-based orthodoxy, and it starts from the top down.
Though President Livingstone has openly promoted heresy (she and her husband both support the homosexual lifestyle choice), sexism (advocates for preferences for females = discrimination against males), discrimination (against conservatives, males, Caucasians, Bible-based beliefs) and bigotry, responsibility falls upon the trustees who either agree with her actions or turn a blind eye. Given Livingstone was a member of a pro-homosexual, liberal congregation prior to coming to Baylor, her “leadership” at Baylor should come as no surprise.
Make no mistake, students can still receive an exceptional education from Baylor, but like most other colleges, they should exercise discernment. They would also do well to seek a local congregation for discipleship (Antioch CC and Harris Creek Baptist are two of the stronger student ministries).

and you name 2 protestant “religions”......sigh
My daughter is getting an excellent education and, as you suggest, she has joined a local congregation with five of her Baylor friends.
I’m not a huge fan of Livingstone. She sends too many annoying verbose emails. But her leadership hasn’t had any recognizable negative impact on my daughter. Perhaps in time Livingstone might damage Baylor. But that’s not what’s happening on campus now. My daughter loves everything about Baylor, and that makes me very happy.
