No, they should instead focus on the U of U, buying it

I think the church is happy with the current arrangement

UVU serves a good purpose in UT county: a lower entry bar for an education.

What would be the reasoning? I think it would benefit out-of-state kids in favor

They should put a campus in south Florida to benefit the Latin American church population

You know, I can't think of a good reason the church shouldn't have a Latin American university. Yes, it's expensive

Strong leadership and faculty aligned with the church don’t grow on trees.

Not only do they not have the faculty and leadership

That sounds like an argument *for* BYU-Mexico or BYU-Brazil, not against.

Except it was BYU-Fl

I bet among the latin american countries, and the church world-wide, there would be enough members you could draw to

Maybe some day, but for now BYU Pathway is the primary educational program for international students

Maybe Pathway is a pathway to get there...

No. UVU is where all the attractive LDS women go. Even BYU guys will

That would be a very recent development then

2FarGone

That all changed in the 90's thanks to rising academic standards

gopman

BYU was still winning that recognition in the 2010s

2FarGone

I can see that given college campuses across America being

It’s true, sadly. Way more realistic dating expectations from girls there too 🙁

Church had the chance to bet Gettysburg college

Man, Gettysburg College? That would have been pretty cool.

Courtimedes

Also there are almost no members in that community

If you build it, they will come

If you [buy] it, they will come.

MarylandFan

Aug 23, 10:30am

Even better, if you [BYU] it, they will come.

MarylandFan

Aug 23, 10:46am

Probably cheaper than building a medical school

2FarGone

Aug 23, 7:51am

Good point...Medical school might push opening other campuses

Xenon

Aug 23, 7:58am

I did not know that.

MarylandFan

Wish BYU could have bought Pepperdine during COVID

Doogal McCougar

Isn’t UVU thriving on its own merits and identity?

MarylandFan

Aug 23, 10:27am

Yes. Very much so.
