Bob Jones University will meet in person next week with the sex abuse ombudsman group that it fired last month.

Both BJU and Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment (GRACE) confirmed the meeting and reaffirmed that they were both committed to figuring out how to move forward.

“Bob Jones University and GRACE remain hopeful this project can be completed with GRACE and in so doing raise sexual abuse awareness and minister to victims whose lives have been ravaged by abuse,” BJU stated in a press release.

A GRACE statement said that the meeting would give both parties a chance to “articulate expressed concerns, as well as to dialogue about the possibility of GRACE completing the independent investigation process started last year.”
