After Cornerstone University fired humanities professor Matt Bonzo and Michael Stevens (and others), the chair of the Board of Trustees implied that they were “contrarians.” If you are not familiar with what happened at Cornerstone, check out our coverage here.
It looks like Bonzo and Stevens are back. They have started a new Christian educational initiative called “Contrary U.”
From the website:
In an age when higher education has been reduced more to technical proficiencies answering the clarion call of market-efficiency, ContraryU stands in constructive opposition, offering instead a communal, slowed down, intentional approach to learning, with the flourishing of the whole person as the root motive and final aim. All communities have boundaries. All communities pursue some vision of the good life. ContraryU is a community that is attempting to answer the need in our current social order for deep connections with one another and with the truth.
