I&#8217;ll be glad to start processing it for you as soon as we receive the $45 application fee.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to be &#8220;up front&#8221; with you from the very beginning of the application process so there will be no unanswered questions later on. I noticed on your application that you are inter-racially married. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.multiracial.com\/letters\/bobjonesuniversity.html\">Bob Jones University does not endorse this<\/a>. It would be no problem for you to be a student here as long as your wife was not (or vice versa). I trust that you understand this. If you would like to ask any questions regarding this, please contact <a href=\"mailto:jpait@bju.edu\">Mr. Jon Pait<\/a> at (864)242-5100 ext. 4207. He would be glad to speak with you about this.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you again for sending in your application. I look forward to hearing from you soon. You may call me at 1-800-BJ-AND-ME.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Achterberg<br \/>\nAdmissions Counselor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 10\/20\/98 Letter from Bob Jones University &nbsp; &nbsp; Effective March 3, 2000, Bob Jones III has rescinded the ban on interracial dating.
