This type of behavior is not only unfit for our institutions, but it also harms, degrades morality, and corrupts the youth. This kind of worldly, provocative entertainment is what unbelievers seek. These kinds of displays appeal to the unconverted. Spirit-filled Christians don’t need or seek out sexually suggestive dancing, fast and repetitive hip movements, buttocks shaking, or other abominable idolatries that feed the flesh rather than the Spirit.
This sort of amusement has no place in any Seventh-day Adventist institution, as it serves as a substitute for God’s sanctifying and ennobling truths. Regrettably, instead of letting the Bible define who we are, we have university administrators who allow the outside world to define the church. Again, this kind of entertainment is being brought in to appease the unconverted in our midst. Consequently, this renders us no different from the world’s theaters, dance halls, and concerts. The same biblical moral imperative is still necessary today to guide us back toward God’s perfect will:
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2.

Pure worldliness. There is no backbone to stand up against this apostasy.
