Myopic. A simplistic answer to a complex event. I'm a TEDS grad so I write with a grieving heart. So simplistic explanations like this shed little light.

Sorry but the fact is that most earnest, evangelical students are not going to want to attend a seminary that is squishy about something the Word of God is clear on. If you don't understand that, perhaps examine yourself.

Appreciate the unreflective reply.

You’re the one who refuses to reflect on the reality that sincere, evangelical students don’t want to be a part of an institution that will not stand up for clear biblical principles.

1. You mentioned that TDS is facing significant economic pressure and is therefore on the verge of dissolution.

2. You also brought up the issue of feminism and how the school’s stance—according to you, a liberal interpretation—does not align with your own views.

Could you please clarify how the second point (regarding feminism and the school’s position) could be a contributing factor to the school’s potential dissolution? Is there a direct connection between the ideological stance and the financial or institutional challenges the school is experiencing?
