Last May, Gerson Moreno-Riaño was appointed as the 12th president of Cornerstone University, a small, Christian liberal arts school in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Before working at Cornerstone, Moreno-Riaño served as Regent University's executive vice president. Now, several former Regent employees are calling the pattern at Cornerstone eerily familiar.
