If I were to do something like this, I wouldn’t use existing BYU profs. Use

adjuncts from the area who are connected to the industries you’re studying. Your poly sic teacher in DC should be someone who works for the state department. And your programming teacher in Seattle works for amazon.

The connection is worth more than the education anyway.

The church has plenty of it. I can’t think of a more wise investment

Nope, need more over-the-top, luxurious, incredibly expensive temples built in

Ouch! The effort by the Church to make temple ordinances available to all

Do you ever have good opinions?

The church spends more on BYU than on temple construction.

gwalker

And this is why the church doesn’t publicize its finances

Cougarclaw

Or maybe it's because people would see how much wealth the Church sits on....

I can think of about 1000 wiser investments than what that would take.

Tare

Well if the church wants educated members who can FUND those 1000

Might be a bad idea for new married couples

Here's a novel idea, get married after college when you can actually afford it

Kerbouchard

2/3/19 7:45am

Do you really think that's going to change?

mwcoug

2/3/19 7:47am

Of course not that would require logical, independent thinking

Lots of bad opinions coming in hot. My wife and I could easily afford marriage when we got married in college

2/3/19 8:16am

We got married, had a son, paid for college and no debt. Things were tight, but

Why can’t young people afford marriage? If they live under their means. My wife

What is there to afford that you don't need as a single?

I think it's a great idea, if money and other resources were unlimited

Schultz is back

2/3/19 7:51am

Would those relationships be easier on a three year basis (or longer)

Xenon

2/3/19 8:08am

The long-term relationships are with the professors

That’s pathways minus the mini-campuses

2/3/19 8:03am

I see Pathways as more leading INTO university level....

Xenon

Church keeps up their trajectory they’re going to have gazillions of dollars in

If money grew on trees . . . The church already spends a ton on BYU. This kind

I don’t think people realize how much money the church already invests into BYU.

Interesting idea, better than the other "increase enrollment" posts.

I love it, but didn't the pathways program put an end to expansion discussions?
