Too much blame is on the regional presidents and not the trustee board leader. They did not care. In 1965 students could not reason with the regional presidents, so we had to strike. Not allowing the trustee board leadership to ignore our concerns. The regional presidents obviously folded than as they put themselves first and Oakwood second. At that time('65) students
were taken for granted as we are allowing now. Please ask for a meeting with the Trustee board president. Can an injunction be filed against this lawsuit?

As a proud member of the class of 1981 and a Lifetime Member of the Alumni Association, this current status saddens me. My late mother, Marie Seard(Academy, 1957), was a staunch supporter of the institution, and long-time Alumni Association Regional Vice-President. Her heart would be broken over this. This can be resolved if there is a will to do so. This is a sin-sick problem, and there is a Balm in Gilead. But it is a human problem, caused by humans, easily solved by humans. God grant the will to do so.

Why can't we all just get along, Humble ourselves and come together and reason as God has instructed His People to do? This lawsuit is unChristlike and very disheartening grown folks who attended the same school cannot Come together and reason. Wow

It would be a disgrace to see our beloved Oakwood become a laughing stock in Adventist academia. Resolve it NOW!

Cynthia Powell Hicks is my niece and I love her, however, I support the decision of Oakwood University and The Board of Trustees to have the Alumni Association on the University Campus. Our prayers are for the issue to be resolved soon and that Cynthia will do the right thing in resolving the situation.

We are FAR better than this. To risk the destruction of such a rich and life-transforming mission and legacy is simply unacceptable. Let the Spirit of God possess the process, and sacrifice the cult of personalities and pride on the altar of restoration and righteousness. Blessings.

I believe this matter needs to be resolved in a better manner. How does this look to others looking in? What example are we giving? What does this teach the younger ones? Lead by example. Enter to learn and depart to serve is our mission.. let's build each other up not tear each other down.
