It's surprising the opportunities LU alumni and staff are having given the apparent disdain for the university in the world of academia. Nothing really seems like obvious steps down. It's almost like Liberty is great career experience.

One way to look at it, I guess. I would surmise though, that most administrative level people at a school that has as many resources as LU boasts about would view that as a step down. Maybe this is more about taking opportunities when one is able. Many great LU faculty are undervalued and I think it impacts their ability to go on to better positions in other organizations. When you get to the Admin level, pay is all over the place and you have no idea when someone with no experience (think a Falwell family member) might be your new boss. In either case, it makes for an environment that most would jump from given the opportunity.

You're probably right there. I feel like a lot of private companies get that way though. Not saying it's right, but it's certainly not uncommon.
