WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSC) all but ended its relationship with Wake Forest University (WFU) in Winston-Salem and Meredith College in Raleigh in an overwhelming vote at the BSC annual meeting in November.
More than 90 percent of messengers voted to amend the BSC Constitution and Bylaws, changing WFU and Meredith from “affiliated” educational institutions to “historical” educational institutions. WFU and Meredith will continue to get some scholarship funding, but the two schools lose their non-voting seats on the BSC Council on Christian Higher Education. The schools will no longer be promoted by the BSC.
