Life
University Up Against Final Deadline
Over the last several years
Life University has endured loss of CCE accreditation, only to gain it back in a
court battle. They have lived through the removal of their founder, Dr Sid
Williams. They have changed presidents 3 times in just two years.
They have survived an all but completed deal to sell the entire campus to
neighboring Southern Tech, only to get it back again
when the state of Georgia nixed the deal. They have defaulted on their
debt, and had it restructured again. But probably the most severe blow has been
the loss of 70% of their student population.
Through all this
adversity, Life University seems to have 9 lives as they continue to escape the
"death of Life" by the narrowest of margins. Now, under their new President, Dr
Guy Riekeman, Life seems to be heading in the right direction, with enrollment
finally turning upward again. However, there remains another major
obstacle to overcome.
The obstacle that
Life must clear is to show the regional accrediting agency "SACS" (Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools) that Life has a balanced budget for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2004. If Life shows a balanced budget,
they are almost assured accreditation.
If
they do not, their chances are 50/50 that they will lose SACS
accreditation.
If Life loses SACS, they
close! It is as simple as that. If they raise the money, they have
finally crossed the last major hurdle and they will survive as with the
enrollment increases, finances will not be a critical issue next year. So
it all comes down to around one month.
We at Now You
Know believe in leading by example. We have given a considerable amount of
money to this worthy cause. I am not personally a Life graduate, but I
understand well how disastrous it would be for our once largest
institution to close. Imagine what the medical profession will say about our profession
if Life closes. Imagine what lawmakers will say about our education.
We are urging all chiropractors
who care about chiropractic to dig deep and make a donation to this worthy
cause. Your donation will make a difference. This moment in our
history is crucial to the future of chiropractic. Please do whatever you
can.
To make your contribution,
please contact Heidi Wheatley, Director of Communications & Post Graduate
Education, Life University (770) 426-2628,

Chiro-News Links
There is a lot of
chiropractic news that makes the general media world-wide. Not all the
news is good, but it is worth knowing about. To help keep you informed,
Now
You Know will be featuring this Chiro-News section in each
edition of "The Information Age" email newsletter. This feature will provide the
title and links to the various news
items of interest to chiropractors. Check each month as we place the news
relevant to our profession here in "The Information Age". To see the articles, please click on the headline link

Why I
Recommend Now You Know; by Dr. Tim Zook

I have been with Now You Know for several
years now. Both Bob and B.J. have been more than helpful and accessible through
this whole process. They kept it easy and simple for a computer novice like
myself. My patients have given me very positive feedback about the site.
They love that they can download new
patient paperwork and fill it out before coming to the office. They even bring
it in typed! They (and I) also get a lot from the articles on chiropractic and
health care issues. When they ask for information about various issues, I
usually refer them to the site. This saves me time-- great for a volume office.
Wayne Gretsky said that the reason he excelled so at hockey was that while
others skated to where the puck was, he skated to where the puck was going. "Now
You Know" is where the puck is going in chiropractic information and marketing.
It is a very effective, highly professional, and affordable tool that is now
absolutely necessary in our information hungry society. You'll be very pleased
with the service.
Coaches Corner By
Dr. Tony Palermo
For the past five years, a group of doctors
have gone "underground" and have secretly revolutionized the way they practice.
These doctors are now serving on a deeper, more profound level than they ever
have before. Their practices run smoothly day in and day out with almost no
effort on their part and money is never a factor in deciding what they want to
do since there is always plenty of it around (even though most of them started
almost broke). They are having a total blast in their practices and their
personal lives. Recently, they decided to reveal some of their secrets. If you
are interested in finding out more about these doctors and their secrets to
practice success, go to
www.chiromastermind.com right now to find out more.
