When it comes to sexual abuse and perversion Christianity and Islam lead the way. The worship of an evil god makes people to evil things. Like the Penn State sexual abuse cover up I have no doubt that this on goes very very deep and reaches the highest levels.
Here's the kicker. The private investigating company that Bob Jones University hired and then fired GRACE is a Christian company run by a relative of Billy Graham. My guess is that GRACE has found some major dirt on some of the big wigs at Bob Jones University and BJU is stone walling and orchestrating a cover up.

Bob
Jones University of Greenville, S.C., announced on Jan. 24, 2014, that
it would be terminating its relationship with GRACE, which had been in
the midst of conducting an investigation after some students had come
forward claiming they had been sexually abused.
Bob Jones University (BJU) abruptly terminated its year-and-a-half relationship with a sex abuse ombudsman group last month.
Godly
Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE) had partnered
with the university since January 2013. Led by Boz Tchividjian, Billy
Graham's grandson, the organization was charged with providing oversight
and accountability to BJU in its
efforts to
"identify any cases in which we need to exercise authentic repentance
and demonstrate biblical love to those we have always desired to serve
to the best of our ability for the Lord's sake."
BJU's actions followed students' claims of sexual abuse in 2011. That year, a
CNN IReport article stated
that the university had reported "nine cases of forcible sex offenses."
It also quoted television channel WSPA as claiming that the
university's number was "significantly higher than any other institution
in the area," pointing to Clemson University, which had three cases, by
comparison. BJU, a private Christian college out of Greenville, S.C.,
has 2,500 students, while the nearby state school has 20,000.
While
acknowledging those allegations, Randy Page, the director of public
relations at BJU, denied that they influenced the college's decision to
invite GRACE to campus.
"It was because of [the Jerry Sandusky sex
abuse allegations at] Penn State. We wanted to be on the cutting edge
of processes and procedures to make sure we were responding
appropriately," Page told CP.
Though BJU informed GRACE that it
had halted their relationship on Jan. 26, the ombudsman group delayed
announcing its termination in hopes of recalibrating the partnership,
though its statement failed to say why it had disclosed the information
on Thursday.
Tchividjian declined to provide comment for this story, citing ongoing discussions with GRACE and BJU.
According to
GRACE's statement, BJU's announcement came without warning and at a critical time in its investigation.
"There
had been no prior indications from BJU that termination was even being
considered," it stated. "Furthermore, this termination occurred days
before GRACE was to conduct the last interviews of this 13-month
investigation and begin drafting the final report scheduled for
publication in March."
It further stated that it had been unable
to gain more clarity with BJU about its motivations behind its decision
"despite repeated requests."
"However, due to the fact that GRACE
certainly wishes to keep all options on the table in order to complete
what has been started, we have spent the last week in communication with
BJU and we remain open to continued dialogue," it continued.
In its termination letter,
signed by President Stephen Jones and Larry B Jackson, chairman of the
board on Jan. 24, BJU failed to disclose their reasoning, except for
hinting that it could be related to the president's resignation. Citing
his ongoing health concerns, Jones, 43, announced in November he would
be stepping down,
"While undertaking these efforts, there has been
a great deal of change here at the university," stated the letter. "As
you know, I recently announced my resignation as president of the
university effective early May. As you can imagine, this has redirected a
significant amount of our focus and energy."
According to a
statement released on Thursday from the university, BJU stated that it
had grown "concerned about how GRACE was pursuing our objectives" and
said that it was "disappointed a resolution could not be reached before
our differences were made public."
In an email to The Christian
Post, Randy Page, the director of public relations at BJU, affirmed that
the university wished "to resolve our differences with GRACE."
"In an email to to CP Page affirmed that the university wished "to resolve our differences with GRACE."
"However,
if that is not possible, we are committed to moving forward—either with
GRACE or another third party—to finish the project and publish a public
report," he added.
