A two-year investigation into the way Bob Jones University officials handled reports of sexual abuse from students has recommended personnel action against Bob Jones III, the grandson of the founder of the university and former president.
The report, issued by GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment.) this morning, says Jones was ultimately responsible for many of problems GRACE found.
“Dr. Jones, III has also repeatedly demonstrated a significant lack of understanding regarding the many painful dynamics associated with sexual abuse,” the report states. “Due to the central role Dr. Jones, III played in the many issues outlined within this report, it is recommended that the university impose personnel action upon Dr. Jones, III.
Randy Page, a spokesman for BJU, could not be reached immediately for comment on whether any action had been taken against Jones.
