I don't expect the Church is planning to drop any of the schools, but if federal regulations go in a way that becomes problematic, they could pull the plug.

And BYU-H is so small, and travel to the mainland much more available than when it was begun, they may think it's not worth keeping around.

Is the Church gaining members now? Baptisms are down, do we know attrition #'s?

Church passed on that decades ago. I doubt it ever happens.

If you look at its location and current facilities, that will never happen.

It would make much, much more sense to have BYU Brazil or BYU Africa.

I always thought near Lima or Southern Brazil would be perfect fits.

I could see more church colleges around the world, but not "BYU" as it were
