Shorter moves in a direction to be more closely aligned with the Baptist convention that owns it, and emphasizes its Christian philosophy of education, resulting in an increase in the number of students, in financial contributions and support, and a tiny, disgruntled group of Baptists, and alumni, don't like it.
If you prefer a school that is just nominally Christian, having a form of Christianity-lite that it uses mainly as a marketing or fundraising tool, and generally operates under a more humanist philosophy of education, try one of those North Carolina schools that managed to declare independence from the state convention before the conservative majority took control of the state convention back.
