Mackinac College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mackinac College was a private liberal arts college which opened on Mackinac Island in the fall of 1966 and closed only several years later. The campus was later turned into the Mission Point Resort.
The college had troubles relating in part to its association with the Moral Re-Armament/Up With People movement. While the college was ostensibly an independent, non-sectarian institution, many of the founders and faculty were members of MRA. Many students were not aware of the connection until they were on the campus. There was much controversy among the students regarding how MRA was to be involved in the mission of the college.
