This differs from my understanding, which is that BYU is following a slow trend to hire more non-LDS faculty than before. I think they'd like to even more than they are, but LDS prof's view BYU as a more attractive job than non-LDS, so when a position is open, you get more qualified LDS prof's than non-LDS applying.

Yeah, we'd hate for you to have fudge.

I spent most of my time at BYU interacting with other students. Not interacting with professors. |

I agree that considering the numbers of LDS youth at a university is important, and that's why I will encourage my kids to look at BYU. It's not for the professors, though there are some very qualified professors there, but it's for the quality of students.

What is the genesis for the belief that you will go inactive if you don't go to a church school? Are the youth of today so feeble that they are unable withstand anything other than being hand fed bits of toast dipped in milk?

That's not what I was saying. I am saying there is a difference between going to a place with no one, and a place with some.

Students need some who share similar belief systems to survive or thrive. Church school or not, would you encourage your child to attend far away from places where nobody knows LDS beliefs and where the chances of dating somebody of similar faith are non-existent? For me, it's more social. Kids need kids to date. If you send the kids to places where it's difficult to find LDS kids to date, they will struggle. It's just practical.
