Is Biden Admin Trying to Shut Down Largest Christian University in America?
Вставка

- A battle between the largest Christian university in America and the Biden administration took a new turn this month after Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona reportedly vowed to shutter Grand Canyon University (GCU), a college located in Phoenix, Arizona.
Cardona reportedly made his comments during an April 10 House Appropriations Committee hearing, stating the administration is "cracking down not only to shut them down, but to send a message to not prey on students," according to Fox News.
GCU made headlines last fall when the Department of Education fined the school a historic $37.7 million over claims students were misled about the cost of a doctoral program. Despite GCU denying the claims, appealing that ruling - and defiantly pledging not to pay - Cardona doubled down.
He said the fine is the "largest...in history against a school that lied about costs and terminated a school from Title IV." Brian Mueller, president of Grand Canyon University, recently told CBN News he believes his school is being unfairly targeted by the Biden administration, calling the massive $37.7 million fine "incredibly disappointing." "This all started 14 years ago ... Grand Canyon was in a very difficult spot," he said, noting the school buildings were aged and the institution was millions of dollars in debt. "We switched from a nonprofit to a for-profit status and went to the public markets to get access to capital." Mueller continued, "We wanted to make private Christian higher education affordable to all socioeconomic classes of Americans. And the plan worked better than we thought."
Just 10 years later, he said GCU is in a "very good spot" and that the campus is "growing like crazy," with online education exploding in popularity. With the previous issues remedied, GCU wanted to go back to being a nonprofit university. "We thought, for the legacy of the institution, [we] would be best served by doing that," he said. "We went through the process and the IRS, who has the authority to do that work, did it, and said, 'The operation you've set up qualifies as a nonprofit, and we're giving you the legal authority to operate as a nonprofit.' And then the state of Arizona reinforced that."
But Mueller said GCU found out the Department of Education did not plan to recognize the newfound nonprofit status. After four years of reportedly attempting to work with the government, he said GCU got nowhere. That's when GCU filed a complaint and the situation intensified. Watch Mueller explain.

Christians need to stand their ground. Don’t roll over. Fight back in the name of ✝️Jesus.
Yes theres even a verse that says not to fall down infront of unrighteousness and not to compromise your integrity.
Jesus was a lying grifter.
Grow up.
I have Jesus and my Loving Father with me, I fear nothing and I see all. Quite yourprayer time every day, the answer will come. Knowing is better than believing, no validation needed.
I am now in the middle of a scandal, with a group of Christians who are committing crimes against the flock they seek and the governments. Personally, I am missing thousands of dollars, and trust me they are lying to me and all.
Remember HE warned us of deception. Deception comes from within an accepted norm.
Blessings dear one, Rejoice for His Kingdom IS Within and He is ALIVE NOW!
🙏🕊💕☺
@@Replies.Delete.SometimesIDKy Thank you, I’ll find it and use it. Cheers from South Australia 🇦🇺
Persecution. Sue the government. Bring a civil or criminal case to the courts.
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Christians must Stand!!!
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Its so sad how morally corrupt the Gov.is…😢😢
Agree
My son graduates next week from GCU. It's been a great school, and I'm very thankful for it since his tuition was half of the other Christian universities. Graduating debt-free! Shame on the Biden administration, but what would you expect from them.
Weaponized government agencies!
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Congratulations to him & to you as well!
I'm a GCU student. This is disgusting.
Stay strong
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Praying for totally clearing of any wrong doing whatsoever. We need this University. This attack is uncalled for!!
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
This is outrages. This is suppose to be The United States of America!
I'm a 1994 Alumni and loved this university! I left the BS of ASU, they had just become a 'university', my education was well rounded and the core classes for my biology/chemistry degree was top notch. (Thank you Dr. Whitherspoon!) There were appx 2000 students on campus at that time. It was 3x as expensive as ASU but the teacher were mostly PhD doctors and taught the classes and helped you when you needed it. Night and day difference to other schools! Made several life long friends and never regretted going here!
My nephew is graduating from this school this year. He's worked his way paying it all himself. Dad and mom have helped a little. I'm proud of him. Keep up the good work and keep standing for what is right.
Where is The SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE NOW??????
My daughter got her Bachelor’s degree in special education from the on-line Grand Canyon U and loved the experience
Congratulations to your daughter. It still normal to set a goal and work to achieve it, lets keep it that way.
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
This man is very courageous my 🙏🙏.."every"institution should back this school...because they will be next!...numbers matter!
You get what you vote for. Lack of praying, lack of discipleship, no fear of God
Congratulations that your Christian University is challenging government policies... God Bless Israel and ALL its people... 🙏🇦🇺❤️🙏🇦🇺❤️🙏🇦🇺❤️🙏🇦🇺❤️🙏
In Jesus name i rebuke it all periodT
Me too! Amen sister!
persecution and discrimination
Biden was doing stuff like this when he was vp too.
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Praying for GCU that they stand strong in God.
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Great interview, thank you. Prayers for GCU's success 🙏
The DOE should be abolished.
Yes. All Government have too much power. Different but applicable --government agency- abolishing gas stoves.
Students can't finish their degrees because there's a cap on loan amounts. And they expect a repay of the money regardless. 😢
GCU does not fit this profile because 1) it is legally a nonprofit entity, and 2) its high-quality students consistently have lower loan default rates than the national average at nonprofit universities.
Great sue Grand Canyon University. And cancell student loan debt for all others. Two tier system for sure. Never mind some students would prefer a christian education. May God grant favor in this out come✝️🙏📖🕊️
May God Bless You And Your Christian University 🙏❤️ Keep Standing Up And Challenging The Government And Their Policies 🙏❤️ Governments right around the world would love to shut down faith based schools and universities as well as churches
Whatever God builds lasts forever. No government or human can successfully plot against it without experiencing the fire of God because the Holy Spirit is the power that rules the earth. Pst Comfort
AMEN!!
Throwing lies against the wall to find what sticks.
Hypocrites
What appalling treatment
Thanks for GCU. Lord will carry you through! Praying for wisdom and His Peace!
Read JERIMIAH 8 ,this seems to be the path this country is headed. The same direction Judah and Israel traveled down, kick God out and worshipped other gods. spiritually wickedness running this world.
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Sad. It is more apparently every day.
You can see it every day
Our Ministry is praying for GCU. I am a student there. This school belongs to Jesus, Protect this school in Jesus name.
Don't settle...go for TRUTH!
My son graduated GCU last year. He chose and wanted to go there. He graduated debt free also I believe because of the good tiution rate.
GCU supports student's entrepreneur ideas and help them succeed (my son is evidence of that). He now is successful in the area he went to college for. He still keeps the contact with the educators for advice and guidance.
Extremely impressive college campus and programs. Definitely a city on a hill.
Stand firm GCU your success will cause your tents to spread even wider. Keep the freedom of college/education choice alive. For God never fails us.
Go Lopes!
Legality doesn’t seem to be a concern to the present government
Government needs to mind their own business!!!
God bless. God loves you. Do the right thing. Yes. ❤❤❤
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
They are the reason many families here in Az are losing their homes
My goddaughter attends GCU, I really hope this garbage 🗑️ resolves itself in a satisfactory manner
When we advance God's kingdom on earth, the enemy is fighting hard as well! Seek your strength from our One True God! Thank you for fighting in the name of Jesus!
My son is attending this Fall. Praying covering over the school, staff, students & leadership 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
BOOM! "Areas in our culture where we don't have enough" and "We are going to have a significant reach in our culture" That's enough said right there to know exactly why they're being attacked. Actually, the fact that they are putting out Christian teachers was enough to ignite the Department of Education. That's their domain of total indoctrination of the young in this country and they can't afford to lose that. I have a daughter who was harassed throughout her years at the university in a pretty conservative, Midwest state because of her more conservative values. It took the progressives a long time to fill our public schools with nutcases for teachers to indoctrinate the future generations.
Psalms 37:1-2, 10, 12-15 (KJV)
"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
"For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
"For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
"The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
"The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
"The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
"Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken." 💪🙏🔥🙌🎊💯😇
Amen.
I pushed the like button and then thought the verbs I would speak to show my discust of the Biden mafia and administration might not affect those with no shame.
God is watching you Joe
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Just a point of clarification, GCU is not the largest Christian University in the US, Liberty University is. GCU has about 110K students and LU has about 135K. Off topic I know, but I have to speak up for my alma mater.
I think you should get a lot of fired up moms and nuns to help with your case.
I will say, GCU made it exceedingly difficult to get in. I am a Christian who had heard good things about the university. I had to jump through soooooo many hoops to get admitted. This for an individual who holds two Masters degrees. I decided not to attend after being put through such ridiculous hoops!!
AMEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL.... THIS ADMIN IS AGAINST JESUS. ITS CLEAR.
Hope you didn’t pay this!
God is God and no one or nothing is higher. Also, Close our Borders!!!
Wow this is crazy. And I start my class on May 2nd for my masters degree in early childhood education.
Who is doing this? Did you specifically acknowledge who?
If so, must be a legit reason
Shouldnt Faith/ freedom be fighting for em ?
Grand Canyon University is In Phoenix it’s a great university
CBN News, Let's be friends! Friends make the best supporters!
So called Catholic Obiden is attacking Other Protestant faiths?..
He is not Catholic or a Christian He is a devoted Muslim who hates The True God ,He is demonic and behind everything Illegal and tyrannical going on in this country,He is the head of the snake who pulls the Biden puppet strings,He was raised to detest this Country and vowed to destroy it from within,so sad how many people in this Country are blinded and Indoctrinated to the great lie,It All starts in Grade school!
I don't get it, you got plenty of evidence. Why can't you use that and go to court ????
They have appealed the fine against them and it's before the court or will go before the court. It costs lots of money to take these federal agencies on. I think they were trying to resolve it with the agencies first before going into litigation.
Great Collage
I never knew that university was Christian. I thought it was just for profit like Uinersity of Phoenix. I’m surprised is larger than Liberty. What makes it Christian?
I am a student. The classes are Christian. It is awesome. I just finished the required Christian Worldview course and it helped immensely to understand what I believe and also learned about other worldviews so we can know how to reach others for Christ.
@@navyladyvetit sounds wonderful. Thank you.
@@navyladyvet - Would you say all of the classes are Christian? It’s just how it seemed you worded it.
I am a Christian, but I have differing views on certain aspects of my faith from my parents. I don’t want to attend a college that is super super far right/conservative.
But I also really want to attend some Christian based classes… but only ones that should be. I want to go to Christian world view, and possibly some other faith based classes. I want to attend services. But I don’t want my science classes to be all about Christianity.
Sorry this was long. I would be very thankful for an answer.
I am thinking of attending, but all the new news about GCU is a little worrying (the people suing GCU and Biden supposedly trying to shut it down).
@The1stPurpleCat I am taking math right now, and it is all math. They don't shove it down your throat. They have many students that are not Christian.
This man Biden must go
"Is what they said true?"
"Uh . . . Uh . . .let me give you a long rambling answer without ever saying 'no.'"
President Trump/ Helen
He's been successful so far
I'm
Democrats and Gomorrah.
Once biden moves to Old age Home Trump will make things right again ✝️👑☦️
What?
🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠Please 🙏🏻pray for salvation for Chris, Pete and Nick who no longer believes in Jesus 😢
🙏Praying right now! I would also ask for prayer for my adult daughter "Beth" who is also in unbelief. My heart is heavy for her! 🙏
Probably without faith from their beginning..the true Christian doesn’t lose their love for Jesus.
WHEN IS THE RED COWS SACRIFICE FOR ARMAGEDDON? 😅 LUNATICS
