:No response, so I took the liberty of changing the sentence to:

== Christian identity ==

[[User:IncrementalImmigrant|IncrementalImmigrant]] is [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ashland_University&diff=1027033781&oldid=1026581321 insisting] that this university is not Christian. The [https://www.ashland.edu/about-ashland university's mission statement] says: "Ashland University, guided by our Christian heritage, is a comprehensive, private university..." "SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH" is the second of the university's values, described as: "Affirms Christian values as a core element of the University’s institutional identity, emphasizing faith in God, moral integrity and respect for the diversity of values and faith of each person in a community of learning." That same "About" webpage has a prominent graphic with a cross and the text "Rooted in CHRISTIAN VALUES." The second pillar of the university's [https://www.ashland.edu/administration/strategic-plan/progress/pillar-2-unique-christian-identity strategic plan] is "Our Unique Christian Identity."

The university tries to walk some kind of fine line between being Christian and non-sectarian (e.g., "[https://www.ashland.edu/cas/religion-department/au-and-brethren-church Ashland University’s identity is simultaneously church-related and officially non-sectarian]") but this is completely at odds with their own description of their mission, values, and strategic priorities. It's a disservice to readers - a lie - to omit this from the lede sentence and not describe the university as Christian. [[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]] ([[User talk:ElKevbo|talk]]) 19:27, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

[[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]] insists that AU is a Christian university, failing to recognize that while a place my have started as such, that does not mean it remains that way any longer. While AU's mission and vision speak to where AU started, founded by a Christian denomination, it is not longer "Christian", but still values its heritage. A place can engage in its history without its current identity still being framed as such. The only lie and disservice here is that the aforementioned editor, though there have been quite a few editors attempt to remove that label, insists that AU is something it is not. For what reason this user has a motivation for such a "lie" is unclear. What is clear is that under the fast facts of the university, there is an affiliation with the Brethren denomination. However, just like many private institutions, such as Boston University, just because AU is affiliated with a group, does not mean it derives its identity from that group. As such, and yet again, Christian is removed from the lead line as no where does AU self identify as Christian, but rather, AU speaks to its founding.
