You must remember, you are a newbie when it comes to being part of a 
university. Give it time. I feel you will gradually discover over 
time, that these professors, and those responsible for the outcome of 
matters of importance to a university, are extremely thoughtful, 
talented, intelligent, dedicated individuals and care greatly about 
the students' future in the world at large.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, but I'm afraid life a Baptist school might be 
a little different from at a public university. In the few faculty meetings 
I've attended I have seen some very strong defenders of classes by some 
professors. While each member of the faculty is good in their own respect, and they 
are all very nice people, when it comes to fighting for turf, they can get very 
belligerent, almost gang like. They might say they are there for the 
students, when it comes down to it, they are there for their own benefit, and will 
fight like hell to make sure their classes are not cut, and will work to keep 
other classes from being offered. 

The problems is that the tenured faculty have control over the situation. The 
non-tenured faculty have to sit and endure. They are afraid to speak up, for 
fear of not getting the promotions they're working for. Not until an assistant 
and associate professors become full tenured professor, they are at they 
mercy of the "leaders," who don't like to be told what to do.
