Sounds like multiple members of the trustees may be staging an exit if the executive board does not take some type of stern action here. The interview only added to the fire.

Where are these “sounds” emanating from?

I'll believe it when I see it but I sure hope this is the case.

I believe Jinxy lives in an area where he likely has connections to multiple board members based on the BOT's current lineup. Just an observation.

[thepostman]

My statement was not meant to question @jinxy in any way. It just that things have been left unchecked for so long that i am believe it when I see it kind of mode at this point. I sure hope he is right.

I agree Jinxy. This has gotten the attention of a lot of people that heretofore have been blind (willingly or unwillingly) to the situation.
Now if it comes to gonad cutting time, no telling what will actually happen.
Personally, I would like to see Jr. own up 100% to his shortcomings, take a significant time for spiritual reflection/renewal and come back to the university in a senior advisory role. We definitely need a new public face for the university and time is not our friend.
Whatever happens, or doesn't happen, I am diligently praying for a positive outcome for all involved. Hopefully we will all do the same. I believe we are at the crossroads, that will determine the long term health of LU.

[Jonathan Carone]

Wooooooooow. It happened.

[cruzan_flame13]

It needed to happen.

Is there a way to see a list of who is on this executive committee of the board of trustees?

[ballah09]

I never thought it’d happen. They got a spine who knew.

I know it sounds crazy but I would totally be for Gill as president, like Jim Tressel. He loves Liberty and has done so much.

[ATrain]

Did they really grow a spine, or is this just a ploy so he can lay low for a while?

[bluedevilflame]

I am thrilled beyond words that Jerry will finally be held accountable for his actions. It's a shame it has taken this long but better late than never!

Turner Gill
Ben Gutierrez
And the Chuck South President.

Those are my pics. Out of order.

100%. It's time for a fresh face at the helm.

The wording tells me he has probably been given a course of action he needs to complete to be restored, which IMHO is as it should be. Too early I think to talk about a permanent replacement, but someone will need to be in charge in the interim.

Executive Committee
Harvey Gainey – Chairman
Jerry L. Falwell
Carroll Hudson
Dr. Jerry Prevo
Dr. David Rhodenhizer
Gilbert “Bud” Tinney, Jr.

Dr. McFarland would be an easy choice considering he's on the board. And could help us legitimately address any insensitivity issues in LU leadership.

If that's the case I certainly hope his social media activity will be curbed if not completely deleted.

I fell pretty confident in saying he will be totally "off the grid".
Possibly counseling and/or rehab.

[Jonathan Carone]

If he truly has an alcohol problem, I hope he gets the help he needs. Jerry is a brilliant man and was great to me personally. He’s been corrupted by power and money and by all accounts has no active walk with Jesus. This does one of two things:

It allows him to fix a life that’s been broken and he can return in some form of advisory role

It allows the school to move on from someone who is no longer qualified to hold the position of president.

For his sake, I hope it’s the first. I’d love to see a story of redemption that can only be explained by God’s grace and power.

I never thought I would see the day. This is a huge blessing for LU. Now we can continue in our mission unabated. Thankful to the Board.

[jinxy]

I knew it was coming because the people i heard what i mentioned today have been quiet in the past. Not so today.

My understanding is a restoration plan is being developed which i think is the right way personally but it will be stringent. The action today was to get in front before he had time to do more damage. Alcohol is suspected but to my knowledge he has not admitted it as of this am.

I pray that he will listen reflect and allow God to do a work in his life.

It's been clear for quite some time his heart wasn't with Liberty it was with politics, Liberty was just his vehicle. I personally hope we move on with a fresh face at the helm but if Jerry is restored, like you mentioned, I hope he is on a tighter leash.

[olldflame]

I really think some of you are getting ahead of things. I see nothing to indicate this is permanent. If he would accept it (he's got his hands full with what he's doing now) I would love to see Franklin Graham as interim President. If a permanent change is made, there is someone else I think would be great.

[cruzan_flame13]

I hope he recovered spiritually, psychologically and physically( dry on the alcohol). One thing I hope is that we get back on the mission, including expansion to our academia, population and research.
