This actually doesn't mean much. Bob Jones Uni is a fundamentalist
creationist ratbag factory. I quote from their associated site

Testimony To An Infallable Bible
The church today is contending against an enemy-one cloaked in the guise of
truth and relevance. Ecumenical alliances sound the siren song of unity,
which in itself is desirable and biblical but frequently sacrifices biblical
fidelity to reach that end. The emotionalism so prevalent in modern churches
produces much heat but all too often neglects the light of God's Word. The
secular world, with its seductive refrain of "tolerance" presents itself as
compatible with biblical Christianity. The resurgence of Neo-Paganism and
New Age ideologies promises greater peace and power, yet only echoes the
age-old hollow promises Satan made to Eve. Now, more than ever, it is time
to proclaim the profound differences between the counterfeits and the
eternal truth of God's Word. This is what the International Testimony to an
Infallible Bible (or "ITIB") is all about.
The ITIB started a number of years ago when several men were having dinner
together while attending Bible Conference at Bob Jones University. In the
course of the conversation, someone mentioned how timely it would be to have
a congress which Fundamentalists from around the world could attend to
receive inspiration, instruction, encouragement, and fellowship. A committee
was formed, and in June of 1976 the World Congress of Fundamentalists was
held in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was intended to be a one-time affair;
however, those who attended were so encouraged and blessed they requested
that another such meeting be held.
Since that date over sixteen congresses (whether global or regional in
scope) have been sponsored by the ITIB. The global or World Congresses are
held about every ten years, while regional congresses are held every year or
two in different locations around the globe.
The ITIB is co-chaired by Dr. Ian Paisley (member of the European
Parliament; Pastor of Martyrs Memorial Free Presbyterian Church, Belfast,
Northern Ireland) and Dr. Bob Jones III (President of Bob Jones University,
Greenville, South Carolina, USA). The ITIB Committee is comprised of both
ministers and laymen who meet occasionally to help guide the direction of
the ITIB. Encouraging fidelity to the Bible is their overriding concern for
the ITIB.
It is amazing how far error, posing as truth, has advanced, taking control
of so many churches and Christian institutions throughout the world. It is
our prayer that the truth of biblical separation from all error, when
understood and practiced by the pastors around the world, will reveal the
dark and dangerous situation in which the church finds itself today.

BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! What ratbaggery!!!!!!
There are many such "universities" in the USA and their "degrees" have no
worth in Australia whatsoever!

A College That's Strictly Different
Secretive Pensacola Christian controls student life with tough regulations
and unwritten rules
By THOMAS BARTLETT
Pensacola, Fla.
...
Pensacola Christian College prides itself on being different, not just from
secular colleges, but from fellow Christian ones, too.
.....
Lisa Morris was walking to class with her boyfriend last October when
something happened. At first Ms. Morris, a sophomore music major, is
reluctant to divulge the details. Eventually, however, the truth comes out:
He patted her behind.
Someone who witnessed the incident reported Ms. Morris and her boyfriend. At
Pensacola any physical contact between members of the opposite sex is
forbidden. (Members of the same sex may touch, although the college condemns
homosexuality.) The forbidden contact includes shaking hands and definitely
includes patting behinds. Both students were expelled.
....
Even couples who are not talking or touching can be reprimanded. Sabrina
Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for
what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" - staring too intently
into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as
"making eye babies." While the rule does not appear in written form, most
students interviewed for this article were familiar with the concept.
.....
There are plenty of other ways to run afoul of the rules. Last spring
Timothy Dow was caught playing the video game Halo 2. Such games are banned
by the college. Movies are also forbidden, including those rated G. Music is
restricted to classical or approved Christian ("contemporary Christian"
artists are deemed too worldly). Students are allowed to watch television
news at 6 o'clock, but that's it. The TVs are controlled by college
employees, who flip a switch to black out the commercials, lest students see
anything inappropriate.
In the library, books and magazines are censored. One student says she saw a
pair of black-marker boxer shorts on a photograph of Michelangelo's David.
Any books that students wish to read that are not in the library must first
be approved by administrators. Those containing references to "magic," for
instance, are normally rejected. The rule book specifically prohibits
"fleshly magazines and books."
......
Along with the college, Mr. Horton founded A Beka Books, acknowledged as the
largest Christian-textbook company in the world. A Beka sells textbooks to
more than 10,000 Christian schools across the country, offering a complete
curriculum for kindergarten through 12th grade. It has also won a big share
of the lucrative home-school market.
The company brings in about $70-million in annual revenue and is valued at
$280-million, according to Dun & Bradstreet. A sizable chunk of that revenue
goes to support the college, which does not come close to breaking even on
its own. According to its 2003 tax filing, the university collected
$20-million in tuition and fees and $3-million from contributions. The
filing attributes $15-million in income to "royalties," presumably from A
Beka.
In the mid-90s, A Beka paid nearly $50-million in back taxes after the
Internal Revenue Service ruled that it should have been classified as a
for-profit entity. The college itself remains nonprofit.
Revenue from A Beka helps keep costs extremely low. Students pay $6,000 a
year for tuition, room, and board. That's about a third or a quarter of what
most other Christian colleges cost. When asked what other colleges they
considered, Pensacola students often mention Bob Jones, Cedarville
University, Northland Baptist Bible College, and Abilene Christian
University. Cost is usually cited as the deciding factor.
Just as the textbook company helps support the college, the college helps
support the textbook company. Many of Pensacola's students work for A Beka,
operating binding equipment, packing books into boxes, loading those boxes
onto forklifts. Some students complain about the working conditions; others
say it's a good deal. For women, A Beka is usually the only employment
option because they are not allowed to hold off-campus jobs. Or leave the
campus alone, for that matter.
In the world of Christian colleges, Pensacola is an oddity. It is not a
member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. It has little
to do with other institutions. Several administrators at other Christian
colleges declined to discuss Pensacola on the record for fear of seeming
critical. One said he did not know enough to speak knowledgeably because
Pensacola keeps mostly to itself.
While not wanting to criticize Pensacola, Carl A. Ruby, vice president for
student life at Cedarville, in Ohio, emphasizes that his university doesn't
take the "bad-kid approach" to discipline. "On major issues of Christian
doctrine, we are probably always on the same page," he writes in an e-mail
message. "In terms of living out our faith on a daily basis, significant
differences emerge."
....
Creationism is taught in science courses.
....
Several previously unaccredited Christian colleges, like Bob Jones, have
recently become candidates for accreditation. Pensacola, however, has shown
no interest in outside approval of any kind. Nor does it advertise its
unaccredited status. A search of the Web site turns up no mention of
accreditation. It is not mentioned in the college's viewbook either, which
dedicates four pages to sports activities and two to campus facilities.
....
Lack of accreditation has been a problem for Amy Brown, too. She graduated
from Pensacola in 2003 with a degree in early-childhood education. But
because the college is not accredited, she cannot teach in public schools,
she says. She had no idea what accreditation was before enrolling at
Pensacola. "I never tried to transfer," she writes in an e-mail message,
"because I had friends that did and ended up with all of their credits as
electives," meaning that they had to retake required courses.
Mr. Ghobrial, the student from Egypt who doesn't mind the rules, wants to
attend dental school. His first choice, West Virginia University, has
already said it would not consider his application, because Pensacola is not
accredited. "I'm hoping they change their minds," he says.
Many Christian colleges do accept Pensacola's credits, as do some secular
institutions. Several former students say they have had no difficulty
transferring credits or applying for jobs. But others have. And as more
states crack down on degrees from unaccredited colleges, it may get even
tougher for Pensacola graduates.

ROBINSON SELF-TEACHING HOME SCHOOL CURRICULUM
- TOTALLY dependent upon good literacy skills to begin with.
- Lock-step without any deviation from the program.
- 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica used - outdated and too complicated for
younger readers
- 1913 Webster's Dictionary used - outdated and too complicated for younger
readers
- Science texts instead of hands on experimentation and disvcovery learning.
- Original King James Version of the Bible - outdated and language too
complicated for any child of any age
-Phonics only without the addition of whole language approach, etc.
- Claims to be "self-teaching" but pupils require interaction with at least
one other person - a teacher.
This "box:" is the lazy person's way of homeschooling and not worth the
money you will outlay for it.
