As Liberty University continues to move forward in life after former President and Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., the University has announced it has launched an independent investigation into the former President’s actions.
“One of the leading forensic firms in the world has been retained by Liberty University’s Board of Trustees to conduct a thorough investigation into all facets of Liberty University operations during Jerry Falwell, Jr.’s tenure as President, including but not limited to financial, real estate, and legal matters,” the school stated in a release.
Additionally, the school has announced it is reviewing options to “establish a new role in the top leadership of the University for someone who will serve as a spiritual coach, mentor, and guide to help ensure that every member of the University leadership fulfills his or her spiritual responsibility to live out the Christian walk expected.”
Falwell was asked to go on an indefinite leave of absence on Aug. 7 by the school’s Board of Trustees Executive Committee. He officially resigned from the school on Aug. 25.
