Numerous allegations have swirled around the topic of sexual abuse at Bob Jones University and the University’s improper response to such abuse. Not only is this an issue of serious importance that has affected many people’s lives, but people that BJUnity supports are among those who have such painful stories to tell.
Therefore, BJUnity welcomed the recent news that BJU had hired G.R.A.C.E. (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment) to serve as an independent investigator into these allegations. We likewise welcome G.R.A.C.E.’s announcement that their investigation begins today.

We urge anyone with a story of such abuse to tell –whether gay, straight or bisexual; transgender, cisgender, queer or questioning — to read the following announcement on G.R.A.C.E.’s website and to complete the attached survey so that your voice may be heard.
We would like to call attention to this statement in G.R.A.C.E.’s announcement today:
First and foremost, please understand that GRACE is not a representative of Bob Jones University or Bob Jones Academy, but is working independently from all parties involved.
May this investigation bring truth to light, wrong to justice, and healing to wounded lives.
