In a practical sense, though, are you really providing students with a well-rounded education if they are never exposed to anyone with a different background? It would be one thing if they were only awarding degrees in ministry-related majors, but this school has programs in things like business and criminal justice. If someone goes out into the business world assuming that everyone will have a similar mindset, it seems like they'd be, well, a bit naive.
(ETA: I want to be clear this is NOT true of all evangelical Christian schools. I know of others that absolutely hire non-Christians.)
