Good one!You are just full of substance and facts in your responses…..
If anyone on the forum has a TikTok account, look at comments to this video and we should be able to verify if this girl is HAC or not. She’s tagged to HAC. I read on another video she got suspended from her college due to her videos.

I could see hac suspending her she is crossing privacy lines if she on campus showing people . I'm sorry I didn't watch the video.

I just watched less than a minute. Look at her appearance she could not wear that jacket/ top showing any chest at hac. Too this day I do not wear anything tight because of that teaching. So I don't think she would be a student in her appearance this is just my opinion...........
I don’t think she’s on campus posting that video. It doesn’t look like a dorm room. She might be posting that video from home on a break from college like Christmas.
I agree. Her appearance does not fit with what I've seen from other HAC students - even when at home. But to be fair, I probably haven't seen a HAC student in the last 10 years.

The wimmin-folk wearing britches, in the picture I posted in post #64 of this thread, are almost certainly not HAC students. The reason I posted the picture is because, since such a picture has been posted on the official HAC web site, it may indicate a less militant and harshly judgmental attitude on this issue on the part of the HAC leadership. Then again, it may not.
Normally, any church or college that takes a militant, uncompromising position of opposition to women wearing slacks is not going to post a picture of any women, even visitors, wearing slacks, or publish such in their magazine or promotional literature.
Most IFB churches and colleges dropped the ban on women's slacks 20 or 30 years ago, and I think that's a good thing. However, if such churches and colleges continue with a harsh, judgmental policy of shaming and bullying people over other issues that are not even sin, it may not do them much good to allow the women to wear pants while continuing to bullyrag and condemn women, and men, on other similarly picky and inconsequential issues.
One other thing to consider is that the HAC administration may believe, rightly or wrongly, that they will lose considerable donations and even enrollments if they "go liberal" and allow the women students to wear slacks. We may regard the no-slacks rule as silly, and I certainly do, but HAC may possibly have a small but loyal hard core of supporters who regard to slacks ban as a vital fundamental of the faith, and who are willing to put their money where their mouth is.

I think this is exactly it! As well as supporters who may not view it as a "vital fundamental" but see it as an "err on the side of caution" and don't object.
I attended Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville in the early 80's and pants were not allowed. Period. I got called to the Dean's office and reprimanded because staff found jeans in my suitcase, in a storage locker! (I'd worn them on my solo drive from Illinios to Florida). They don't hold that belief anymore (and also removed "Baptist" from their name.) It all just makes me wonder what the passage of time has to do with supposedly fundamental beliefs/convictions. I kind of respect the hold outs.
