Also.. Jerrys Jokers were supposed to be a running joke on the Batman supervillain not inspiration for Jr to turn into a clown.

I hope it does, but it won’t.

Maybe you can start a movement.

As unlikely as it seems, toxic management "works" until it hits it's breaking point and then suddenly enough is enough. Reminding people you have a gun to keep them in line is one thing. Putting a bullet hole in the wall over their shoulder is another.

Thanks for the update.Just John wrote: ↑September 10th, 2019, 1:12 am I'll admit my bias up front...I'm not a Trump fan because of the baggage he brings, IMO, to conservatism and a total lack of character. That being said, people near and dear to be totally disagree and we respect each other...and avoid the subject. And it's not something I care to hash over in this post. My issues below have nothing to do with that.This is not correct. Faculty/employees are no longer forbidden to consume alcohol. They will face disciplinary action if they come to work under the influence, and are required to notify HR of any criminal charge against them involving drugs/alcohol, but the handbook does not specifically say they cannot use alcohol.
Had a discussion today with a person who goes way back with LU, Doc, and Jerry Jr. Doc wasn't the best businessman, partly because he had a big heart for people and ministry Jr is a great businessman but in his own words, is about buildings and projects. I don't think there's any doubt that LU wouldn't be where it is today, financially or in infrastructure, without Jr. I do believe though we are now lacking in the heart and ministry department. Financial success can't be the only standard for success.
- I'm not bothered by what I read about the financial stuff. Small town stuff.
- I'm bothered by the John Gauger stuff. He openly admits he was paid to rig polls and Jr defended him. Clearly not The Liberty Way.
- I am bothered that Jr said students had more to do with the spiritual strength of the school then he does.
- I drink alcohol in moderation and do not think it's a sin. I do not run a school that fines students or prohibits faculty from doing so. I'm also bothered he played the "it must be photo-shopped" line until we see the picture.
- A well-placed staff member shared with me last week some of the same things Third Base alluded to.
I love Liberty!!! Jr. has done a great job financially for LU. I want to see it prosper financially, hold to it's original vision spiritually, and win football games!!!!

I don't believe anything in the story. It came from Polutico, (a far left communist rag) and interestingly enough was coordinated with other media outlets who have had Liberty in the sights for a long time.
Anyone who doesn't see the Soros puppet strings here is willfully blind.
The dirtbag media lies. On a daily basis. This is a coordinated hit piece by people who hate President Trump and Liberty University.
The people (some on this board included) who want Liberty to morph into a "progressive" abortion and sodomite "accepting" institution are willing to believe whatever the media trash throws at the wall. They don't need anything other than a fiction account purported to be news to latch on to so they can push their own agenda.
The real issue here is the lying media. The media needs to lose its NY Times v. Sullivan protection. Until that happens, nothing will change.
I'm very conservative, never voted for a Democrat in my life, and my daughter is named after Ronald Reagan. If we are to be taken seriously and try to win people's minds over to our side, we have to be rational.
