"By that logic, grads of the anything-goes public colleges we have today would be incapable of exercising leadership at all, yet many do and do it well. "

Not at all. Normal, secular universities and colleges support a wide range of behaviors. Yes, there are drunken frat boys and dopers at these schools. I wouldn't hire them, either. But...there are also serious students who are there to learn and who take part in activities in their schools which helps train them as leaders.

Not everyone at a public university is an idiot. However, everyone at LU is a person who can exist, and thrive, in an autocratic rules-based society. Every one. And I would have no room for such folks in any organization I ran. I'd be looking for the creativity and flexibility that is absolutely essential to successful business.

You won't find either at LU. It's actively discouraged. Have you ever been on campus at one of these schools for more than a few hours? It's incredibly stifling.

I have. I attended a "Christian" college for one semester, back in the 60s. It had all those silly rules, and then some. I didn't break any. I didn't get in trouble. I just left, since I couldn't see any value in such an education for four years.

I went on to a California public University, where I graduated with honors and have made excellent use of the education I got there. I wasn't wild. I wasn't drunk. I went there, studied, graduated, then went on with a successful life.

All you'll get from LU or BJU or any of the repressive "Christian" colleges is training to become an autocrat. Not much call for those in the real world.

Almost everyone at Liberty is respectful of authority. Most of them probably agree with those rules and are glad that they are there. That doesn't say anything about their creativity and only a little about their flexibility.

If you want someone to use sex to sell your product, then you are right. Liberty grads aren't for you. If you want someone to go drink your competitor's employees under the table and milk them for information, then you are right Liberty grads aren't for you. But if you want someone who will do the right thing, then you are probably far better off with a Liberty grad.
