You said some seemingly non-supportive things about him...unless I don't know how to read.
I said non supportive things about the teaching of the power of uncut hair.

Please, anyone, answer these questions as I find the notion of "holy magic hair" laughable yet recognizing the value of personal convictions and committed consecrations.
Is he really preaching of power in the uncut hair, or the Holy Ghost power available to the women who practice this consecration (in connection to their faith in God)?
Is it wrong to think that Christians who do live a life of consecration(s) would have closer walk with the Lord? Paul assails vain religious piety, but does he negate the concept of consecrations and convictions?
Would that closer walk with the Lord (birthed out of a life of consecration) not be made manifest in the natural and spiritual circumstances of life-- maybe even if it was only some of the time?
Or are consecrations of no consequence in God's economy?
Are anointed people anointed from doing nothing to deepen their relationship with the Lord?
I know one can do all the standards perfectly and still not be saved, but isn't there anyone else here besides me who know of precious saints, praying men and women who practice some consecrations in connection with their faith? Aren't these people mighty people in God's Kingdom?
Aren't these people closer to the Lord than other saved people who have not developed any or are even lazy in their devotions without any consecration to speak of?

I think the issue is not whether personal consecration and sacrifice are a good thing.... the issue is when you insist that everyone else must follow suit.
Wait wait it gets better...Here is the latest response.
I will e-mail the forms to you later this weekend.
Who is Lee Stoneking? If you wish him to work with you that may not be a problem but an SEU approved marker will have to assess your work.
This guys wife obviously trims her hair....

Well, I finally got another reply from SEU. Let me recap:
1. On 6/30, I sent this to their contact email: "Is there a directory of your faculty? I couldn't find one on your web site."
2. The next day, I got this response:
Sorry you have not given your name
Could you indicate what area and level of study you are interested in also your current qualification in order for me to assist you.
3. I replied the same day with my name and said "It's just curiosity. I won't be applying for admission."
4. After waiting for a reply for a few days, I sent a reminder on 7/3: "Could I see a list of your faculty, please?"
5. Got a reply to that, this morning. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Put down the coffee. NOW, you better strap yourself to your chair. OK, here it is (don't say I didn't warn you):
I am sorry but your request does not make sense what do you want, if your next e-mail is as lacking in information it will be ignored
Dr John Johnson
There you have it! It "does not make sense" to ask for a list of their professors.
P.S. I kid you not, that is the exact, cut-n-pasted reply to the question (also cut-n-pasted) I sent yesterday. He quoted it in his note, so he wasn't referring to the previous note, where I said I wasn't going to apply for admission -- I can certainly understand how that wouldn't make sense to him!

"...does not make sense what do you want...". Just like that? Exactly?
