This HEPI blog was kindly authored by Chris East ( LinkedIn ), co-founder of Cornerstone Safeguarding Consultancy. Chris has over 15 years of experience in safeguarding and pastoral support. After reading Rose Stephenson’s brilliant blog post titled Creating Robust Safeguarding Policies to Enhance the Student Experience , I was encouraged to contribute my perspective on a related aspect of safeguarding within higher education.

Bluffton University will merge with the University of Findlay by fall 2025, pending approval from state agencies and their shared accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission. The private Christian institutions — both founded in the 19th century — are located about 20 miles apart in northwest Ohio and will continue to operate independently until the merger is finalized.
