I’m thinking Junior doesn’t care much for or about LU anymore

His standing in anything that happens at the university, is very minimal compared to the Falwell's.

I know he's gone, but sometimes I wonder, if the little guy is lurking in the shadows somewhere, pulling all the strings, and of course, with zero accountability.ZERO CHANCE.

He also understands clearly the modern SJ movement. Maybe he's not interested in the job, Liberty needs him a lot more than he needs Liberty.No, Liberty doesn't need him

The BOT is not going to let him go and then follow his instructions or pulling strings behind the curtain. Some of the bored, who did not know about his "problems" feel betrayed and wouldn't pour water on him if he was aflame. .flameshaw wrote: ↑October 17th, 2020, 1:40 pmparadox wrote: ↑October 16th, 2020, 10:18 pm Never really worried about big Jerry too much.

Zero? What makes you so confident?

I'd imagine we won't have a new president until the independent investigation is complete. The new leader will want to know what kind of mess he/she are inheriting.

That is how little faith I have left in some people who are still there.Jr. honestly doesn't think he did anything wrong. Really. Even the most hard-core supporter/enabler would have trouble backing that.
I'd love to be wrong.

We have to pay faculty better, grow our diversity and get past this stupid COVID thing, and we will be back on track again.And don't drift down the path other "one time" Christians Colleges did. I won't name them, but you know who they are.
prototype wrote: ↑October 19th, 2020, 8:36 am In my opinion they will take the Interim tag off of Prevo and let him be President for a few years. I think they want things to settle a bit and not make a rash decision for the next president. Prevo has already come in and removed some of the unqualified, overpaid, positions, but IMO still has to remove some of the others that have been put in key positions because of their last name. I would still love to see some of the old talent come back to the University. Hartless, Peterson, Zealand, etc... I think it would be hard to convince them to come back, but they all still are living here (working remote for other institutions).Speaking of unqualified and overpaid, there is still the elephant on the mountain in the skinny jeans. Until he is gone, most of the rest is window dressing. He is the biggest blowhard/fake since Jim Bakker and the Piano Man, Swaggert. IMHO.
The University is in great shape. The infrastructure is there. The quality of kid is there. We have to pay faculty better, grow our diversity and get past this stupid COVID thing, and we will be back on track again.
