Liberty U to Investigate Fallwell Jr

Liberty U to Investigate Fallwell Jr September 1, 2020

Liberty University has announced that it will employ an independent “forensic” firm to investigate Jerry Falwell Jr’s tenure as president of the university.

From CNN:

Liberty University said Monday it’s hired “one of the leading forensic firms in the world” to conduct an investigation of its operations under disgraced former president Jerry Falwell Jr.

The investigation will include “all facets” during the evangelical leader’s time as president, “including but not limited to financial, real estate, and legal matters,” the Christian evangelical university said in a statement.

Falwell Jr. resigned as president last week after a young man in Miami went public with claims that he and Falwell Jr.’s wife had regular sexual liaisons for years, sometimes while Falwell looked on.

alwell Jr. acknowledged the affair in a statement, but said he was “not involved.”

It was the latest in a string of controversies surrounding him.

Earlier this month, the university announced Falwell Jr. was taking an indefinite leave of absence from his positions.
