Abilene Christian University does not endorse political candidates or parties, so some people reacted with surprise when our student newspaper, the Optimist, recently endorsed a presidential candidate. That provides a great opportunity for me to explain what ACU does endorse: an education preparing students to make real choices and engage in ... [Read More…]

From the Editor’s Desk – Addressing endorsement criticism

October 31, 2012 by Mark Smith

We knew many people would not agree with our endorsement of President Obama. What we didn't expect is that instead of complaining to us, the seven-student editorial board that wrote the editorial, most of the strong negative reactions would be taken out on ACU. I am sad to see the university receive these responses when it had had no ... [Read More…]
