Brendan,

Regarding the paragraph you deleted on the IWU article:

"Recently, the Board of Trustees voted to double the undergraduate student population to 6,200. Eventually, the University's total student body is projected to surpass 30,000, making it the largest Evangelical Christian university in the world. However, President Smith has stated that the current emphasis is on improving the academic reputation of the University and increasing the endowment."

I have heard from several reliable sources that this statement is accurate and that the board did indeed vote to eventually expand the undergraduate student body enrollment to 6,200 from the current 3,100, bringing the total student body of the University to over 30,000 students, if current growth estimates for the CAPS program are met.

Has this decision been ammended recently to a smaller number around 4,000 undergrads? Is that why the new chapel's capacity is 3,800 (since the entire student body isn't required to attend chapel and they don't want to have 2 services)? You obviously would know better than me - I'm just looking for clarity.

Thanks,
