Wow

BYU’s mission & ‘academic freedom’ (as viewed by the worldly) seem incompatible

Not sure how someone can claim that faith alone disqualifies an institution

Wow... I wonder if this is what will be done with the old Provo High School then

That makes the most sense to me

It's right next to the hospital, it would make sense to build it there

My initial thought…. Guess that’s the case.

It's supposed to be the new music area, but maybe that'll change.

RockyBalboa

They already built a new music building on the other side of campus.

CatamountFan

Jul 29, 10:29am

This was temporary while they built the new building

jaromp

Jul 29, 10:38am

No, it’s the temporary home of the drama & arts programs until the HFAC is done

BYU'01

Jul 29, 10:43am

Makes a ton more sense than a new stadium

I’d think so, at least part of it. World’s longest sky bridge to UVRMC?

BYU'01

It makes a lot of sense now why they bought it. My guess is this has been in the works for years.

It doesn’t make any sense

Absolutely. I have to imagine there are a few regular CBers that knew this was

Didn’t see that coming. For docs on the board, what are these health issues of importance

DrBYU

By the time they finally get it built and running, the issues will probably all change.

Some interesting things in the announcement:

cougarfan84

Jul 29, 10:07am

In light of the mission of the Church and BYU, this makes perfect sense.

Mitty

Jul 29, 10:12am

so does this mean they will still graduate doctors? Or medical researchers only?

runnincoug

Jul 29, 10:19am

Don't know how you'd have a medical school w/out having doctors. I'd assume

cougarfan84

Jul 29, 10:26am

It’s a medical school. Doctors.

dixieutahbyuzag

This leads me to believe there will be a ton of collaboration with Utah's medical school

BYU has a fair number of federal research grants already

Don’t BYU researchers already get federal Grant funding? Don’t professors apply
