Future of Religious Higher Education

Jason, for a religious university, it may mean that we do not revisit the core of our beliefs, but we certainly need to revisit the methods, how-to of incorporating those beliefs in our educational work. For instance, this writer believes that as the economy continues to crash, it would be cost-effective for religious groups to create "Houses of Study" aside secular campuses, e.g. state universities. Students would take low-cost secular courses on the campus, and they would return to the House of Study to pursue strictly religious subject matter. Ideally, students would live in the Houses; it would not be a requirement. As the middle class collapses, more and more the religious colleges will face financial crises. They cannot compete with the State. They can however co-opt resources of the State to allow them to leverage their resources to do what they need to do: provide the theology, religious instruction. Let the State teach Greek.
