Does the ABC support financially? If not, why reserve the spot in perpetuity.

Southern Baptists have gone through this type of thing with several colleges: Baylor, Belmont, Carson-Newman, Furman, etc. The situation with Kalamazoo sounds more like Vanderbilt which once had a Methodist affiliation. It's no big deal.
