David Shannon is doing just fine raising money at Freed Hardeman. I also know quite a few former Lipscomb donors who switched their giving path. Freed doesn't have the need for billions of dollars. If Lipscomb still had their priorities in order they would not either.

The Screen name you decided to register for two posts is funny to me since it was the same Mr. Lowry that you wax so eloquently about who tried to have them close the Campus school so he could expand the college. The board flatly said no.

 

Want to refute that?

The claim was that Lipscomb let go of Lowry because some “old money” from the CoC guard was taking their checkbooks to Freed. That is unequivocally false. Lowry wasn’t loved by all by any means but the idea that he had to step down because he was losing money to Freed is absurd. If Lowry was good at anything, it was raising money.

Really?  I can attest to the fact that my friend is a very well to do as are many of his CofC and David Lipscomb University graduate.  He along with several of his friends at the coffee club in Green Hills often spoke of how they had put up their checkbooks up with regards to Randy Lowery and instead sent their money to Milton Sewell and Freed Hardeman.  Believe what you want!

Randy Lowry stepped down in the middle of a campaign to raise a quarter of a billion dollars (with a “b” billion) over the course of less than 2 years. He met the goal early and then stepped down. They didn’t get rid of Lowry because they were losing money to Freed Hardeman, who probably hasn’t raised that much money in the last 20 years combined.

The same gentlemen also informed me that there is a reason that the "MONEY PEOPLE" demanded that Randy Lowery be removed and replaced by Dr. Candice McQueen.  The old line CofC money people are back in charge and making the decisions at Lipscomb.

This is totally incorrect.
