Dr. Godwin is set to assume a new role and Anthony Beckles is set to return as CFO...I assume this is not Ron “Godwin”. I Would be shocked if he ever had a position at LU again.
Could all be rumors...

Haven’t seen anything official that he left LU, but one has to think it would be near impossible to do both.He's no longer with Liberty. Rumor is he was let go.

By 2017, the Rawlings School of Divinity’s enrollment had dropped to 13,688 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students, or 15.8 percent of Liberty’s online enrollment.Dumb!
Reached by telephone after being presented with those figures Friday, a Liberty spokesman said they were inaccurate. He said he had nothing “quotable” to offer in an interview. Inside Higher Ed informed him that the conversation was on the record. The spokesman reiterated that the numbers were not correct.
“You can publish them, and the day after you publish them, we’ll let the world know your enrollment numbers aren’t correct,” he said. “You might want to go back to your source and say, ‘Button down your numbers.’”
Inside Higher Ed had not disclosed the source of the information. The enrollment figures came from annual disclosure reports Liberty is required to file for bondholders who lent the university money, including through tax-exempt bonds issued through a state agency in 2010. The introductions to the reports bear the signature of Liberty’s senior vice president of finance.
In a telephone interview later, Falwell and several other administrators acknowledged the statistics as correct.

When I read the comment, it sounded like the words of a specific person in the Admin that was not Len.flamehunter wrote: ↑August 23rd, 2019, 2:23 pmIf he was the "spokesmen" in the story quoted below from Higher Ed Journal he deserved to be fired.LUAlum1215 wrote: ↑August 23rd, 2019, 7:59 am Not necessarily administration so to speak, but Len Stevens has taken a job as Co-anchor with WFXR news in Roanoke.
