The Liberty University executive committee met Monday morning, and a conference call meeting of the full board was planned for Tuesday, regarding Jerry Falwell Jr.'s place at Liberty.

UPDATE: LU says Falwell agreed to resign, but reversed course. https://t.co/fsPkuaEuD8?amp=1

1. Jerry wants to get fired to he can collect unemployment

At least, that's my guess.

8. You can't collect unemployment if you've been fired for cause.

[gratuitous]

12. Don't tell Jerry that!

Let him find out for himself.

[ret5hd]

2. Really you mean: Falwell resigned, Becki reversed course

[Tanuki]

22. She probably couldn't bear the thought of being separated from her

"personal trainer. "

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Trump talked him out of it?

I prefer that he remains the disgraced hypocrite that stays at Liberty University.

4. Failwell is a joke!

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Take notes, Donnie Dollhands

This could provide a template for your own threats to remain in office after you lose the election.

[FM123]

6. So I guess he doesn't know if he's coming or going, still watching....

[LiberalBrooke]

7. He is looking for a payout to resign.

No money, no resignation I would bet on.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. That's the most likely explanation.

He's looking for a nice hefty severance package.

[Ilsa]

11. We have a Winner! nt

[Tanuki]

24. .....

[Me.]

10. Good...His Hypocrisy Will Bring THe Place Down

[FoxNewsSucks]

13. He's just mad that they wouldn't

let him hang around afterward to watch

[Buckeyeblue]

14. I wonder if Sr had an agreement that Jr gets to be employed by Liberty for life?

Maybe Jr realized that he can't give that up.

[kysrsoze]

15. Are we to prepare for a sobbing, bullshit mea culpa speech, like the one his dad gave years ago?

Everyone now knows he's full of it.

[Brother Mythos]

16. Liberty University - A Cuckservative Institution.

[soothsayer]

17. Heh

[greenjar_01]

18. 100% Trump called him and said never resign or admit anything

One hundred fucking percent.

[soothsayer]

19. Hi, Jerry. First of all, loved the films! Your wife is hot.

[greenjar_01]

20. LOL

Not Trump's type though.

[Ilsa]

21. Blackmail: he's going to reveal that LU is really a real estate hedge fund.

He'd want immunity, of course, before he turns on his board.

[crickets]

25. *ding!* Winner.

In interviews over the past eight months, they depicted how Falwell and his wife, Becki, consolidated power at Liberty University and how Falwell presides over a culture of self-dealing, directing university resources into projects and real estate deals in which his friends and family have stood to make personal financial gains. Among the previously unreported revelations are Falwell’s decision to hire his son Trey’s company to manage a shopping center owned by the university, Falwell’s advocacy for loans given by the university to his friends, and Falwell’s awarding university contracts to businesses owned by his friends.

“We’re not a school; we’re a real estate hedge fund,” said a senior university official with inside knowledge of Liberty’s finances. “We’re not educating; we’re buying real estate every year and taking students’ money to do it.”

23. Liberty University would amuse me anyway, if the institution was

to investigate Falwell for his spending of Liberty University money for his own purposes while in their employ.
