Such students should be told that while TCU may the largest Disciples-affiliated institution, the university certainly isn't without problems, and it certainly isn't always in the practice of upholding church decisions. The problems Disciples face by not having a religious leader on campus also should make administrators aware of another genuine campus concern. All students, no matter what their cultural and religious backgrounds, should be allowed to worship as they choose and have access to campus religious leaders to guide them. Presently, not every student does. The university should consider providing or helping to find funds to help resolve this m.mtcim/mfiim problem.
