(ChurchLeaders) Almost 3,000 Moody Bible Institute students, alumni, and parents have signed a petition urging President Mark Jobe to initiate changes to the school’s approach to disclosures of sexual harassment and abuse. A handful of students and former students have come forward claiming that the school’s dean not only dismissed their complaints but actually threatened disciplinary action against those disclosing the abuse, among other complaints.
“While many of us have found God and His calling on our lives within the walls of Moody, some of us have also faced harm. Harm that includes instances of stalking, discrimination, sexual assault, and rape,” the petition posted to Chang.org reads.
