"The King’s College president Dinesh D’Souza now faces his board’s likely questions about his relationship to a woman not his wife"

The King’s College is a Regents-chartered independent college offering an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree program in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics; a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree program in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics; and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program in Business Management. The College will discontinue its B.S. program in Organizational Management in 2011, a B.S. program in Marketing in 2006, and a B.S. program in Childhood Education, date to be determined. The College was initially established in Briarcliff Manor, New York, and was authorized to confer degrees in 1955. It ceased operation in December 1994 due to financial difficulties. However, the College’s charter remained in force. In 1997, the Regents amended the charter to make the Campus Crusade for Christ the sole member of the corporation.

This is very disappointing, and I am saddened to hear of it. I agree with Paul that it would be difficult for him to remain in his position at Kings, and hope that he gracefully resigns as soon as possible in order to cause the least amount of harm to the name of Christ and Kings College.

I also hope that he can reconcile with his wife (not his mistress, even though ‘nothing happened’) and rebuild his wrecked marriage.

"Our task today is to tell people — who no longer know what sin is...no longer see themselves as sinners, and no longer have room for these categories — that Christ died for sins of which they do not think they’re guilty." - David Wells

by the brazenness of it all! Did he think no one would pay attention to the fact that he had a woman staying in the same room with him.

More about his background in the above link:

Article mentions that CCC was trying to spin it off to be independent of them. Not clear if that has occurred:

–––-

D’Souza’s arrival to The King’s College comes as the school transitions into becoming an independent entity after twelve years of support from Campus Crusade for Christ. The college was re-established in New York City in 1999 after going bankrupt in 1994 and has been paying off the institution’s debts with the help of CCC. In 1997, the college’s charter was amended to make CCC the sole member of the corporation.


Recently, The King’s College’s Board of Directors and Campus Crusade for Christ’s Board of Directors voted to begin a process toward launching The King’s College as an independent entity.
“With full ownership and new leadership, The King’s College has the opportunity to focus exclusively on its mission of educating biblically-based thinkers poised to produce change throughout society,” said CCC President Steve Douglass in Monday’s announcement. “We’re proud to be a part of the history of The King’s College and to have played a role in helping it become what it is today.”

The Right-wing Rivalry Behind Dinesh D’Souza’s “Sex” Scandal

Additional information on World’s editor-in-chief Marvin Olasky - Dinesh D’Souza rivalry

With his high profile in the conservative world, Olasky was the face of King’s, and in 2010 he declared that one of his roles as provost was to make sure that the school “remains firmly in the Protestant, evangelical tradition.” Not long after, King’s hired D’Souza to serve as the school’s president. D’Souza sometimes identifies as an evangelical, sometimes as a Catholic, and his hiring raised eyebrows in the Christian press. Those eyebrows lifted even further when, just a few months after D’Souza’s hiring, Olasky resigned his position.

Olasky’s vague explanation for his departure didn’t help matters. When Christianity Today contacted him about the resignation, Olasky replied: “It will come as no surprise to you that Dinesh D’Souza and I have different ideas about some things. I’d like to leave it at that and not do an interview.” Those differences certainly extend to the theological orientation of King’s, although Christianity Today reported that D’Souza signed an evangelical statement of faith before coming aboard as president. But it’s also very likely that a school of two-dozen faculty is simply too small for two such forceful and uncompromising personalities.

Let me get this straight…the president of a Christian college who specializes in Christian apologetics “had no idea that it is considered wrong in Christian circles to be engaged prior to being divorced, even though in a state of separation and in divorce proceedings”? Really?!?

And why would the King’s College board select as its president a man who would be separated from his wife upon his accepting the position? Why choose someone whose domestic life does not reflect the biblical ideal? What kind of message does that send to the college students, the constituency, the Christian community, and the secular world he seems to be so careful to avoid scandalizing?

I think we assume too much about people’s understanding and implementation of Scriptural principles. There are pastors and other kinds of ‘Christian leadership’ all over America who have HUGE moral and ethical issues, and they not only maintain their positions without blinking, they have no fear of removal.

I know you are right Susan, but would they claim ignorance that such actions were even frowned upon by the Christian commuinty?

Why is it that my voice always seems to be loudest when I am saying the dumbest things?

what people are ignorant of- and I mean ‘ignorant’ in the sense of not being aware of something, not in the sense of being stupid. People get into a niche and have no idea what is going on outside of it.

But I digress. I think he sounds disingenuous, but I can’t say his version of events isn’t possible. His explanation is just as credible as the accusations at this point.

Does anyone here have a piece of paper saying they are licensed to practice marital law in California or New York?

Stop gossiping.
