Bill Grover and SATS

[Geoff Vankirk]

Isn't Bill Grover a faculty member at SATS? You've got to love when someone asks him a SATS question and his response is "I don't know." You're on the goddam faculty, Bill. Send someone you know in the school administration a fuckin email and ASK THEM! Then post the response. It isn't that difficult if you really think about it.

Grover is listed as a faculty member on the SATS webpage. As far as I know, SATS provides theological Far Distance education to Master level. So, SATS and their faculty should work student-oriented, i.e., they should help their students and answer all their questions in time. If Grover does not know the answer, he should check back with his fellow-workers.
This is what we do at IFTS (International Faith Theological Seminary).
If Grover fails to help students asking a question in a simple and flexible way, then this is possibly due to the fact that he is busy in spending too much time of admiring himself in the mirror for his "grand" achievements with what would be considered a second-class doctorate from Zululand uni in Europe.
I would advise prospective students to try another option different from SATS: There is Unisa (University of South Africa), an accredited high quality provider of Far Distance education in a number of disciplines including Theology. Some of the privately run Bible schools and seminaries in Germany have concluded a Agreement of Academic cooperation with Unisa, and it seems to work quite well. It is high quality theological education at undergraduate and graduate level (including Doctorate level) they provide from a conservative theological perspective.
When signing up with Unisa, interested students from all over the world need no longer to depend on SATS only and a faculty member like Grover, who IMHO is a groveling weasel. Students can do much, much better without a faculty member who is a groveling weasel ignoring student needs and who is intimidating them instead. Kind of way of dealing with student matters that Grover must have kept from his times as a High School teacher.
