Falwell said university leaders had weighed whether to extend spring break or have students return as planned. They chose the latter. 'Our thinking was, 'Let's get them back as soon as we can — the ones who want to come back,'' Falwell said.

A crisis for colleges:A request for comment to the university was not immediately returned on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, much of the country is working from home. Other businesses have been closed, either voluntarily or by government orders. “I am concerned for the students, faculty and employees at Liberty University, and I am also very concerned for the residents of the Lynchburg community,” Tweedy said. “Liberty University is an important part of this community; however, I believe it was a reckless decision to bring students back on campus at this time."

So stupid

Can we say lobotomy’s

Idiot

What a fool ! Let those who get ill because of his foolishness, .... I’ll say no more!!

Most college campuses arent designed for 6 feet away on much of anything

Your thinking is the collection plate isn’t full enough anymore . Just like Dump you don’t care , it’s about money .

Put a fence around the college. Keep everyone on the premises. Don’t offer medical assistance. It’s their choice and their defiance will not be our death.

This kind of thinking will cause so much more spread of this nasty disease.😞

Liberty’s online enrollment is 6 times larger than their campus student body. They are clearly proficient at using online tools & technology which makes this even more ridiculous. Most good schools aren’t set up naturally for this yet their main concern is Protectyourstudents!!!

It’s a bad virus and most may get it some will show no symptoms some will have mild symptoms some will be extremely sick and sadly some will die well that’s how it is with most sickness it’s called LIFE

At least someone has some sense more people die from the flu car accidents all sorts of things and we just keep going but on virus thanks to the Chinese we have shut down just plain stupid we gonna do this every year now?

Really not very smart’

According to the article, students can come back but classes are online. So basically they’ll live their, quarantined with online classes. Off campus housing students will be fine however how will dining halls and meals be handled for those in dorms?

He just wants and excuse to pick a new pool boy or girl for he and his wife.

There is 1 hospital in Lynchburg, it is a small regional hospital. It will be quickly overwhelmed. This is an insane decision.

The height of irresponsible and utter unadulterated greed.

Moron

lol, the money train is over

I’d better not hear one word of him self-isolating “out of an abundance of caution” 😡😡😡 gahhh! That’s wrong. He can’t risk himself without harming others. But if he does, he’d better get destroyed for his hypocrisy!

Liberty 'University' is being renamed CoronavirusCollege

“Our thinking was...let’s get them back so we can get their money. Let God sort out whether they die or not.” Fixed it for you, JerryFalwellJr Btw- this all seems more like pro-wealth than pro-life. Just sayin’

All you got to do is look at who's calling the shots, who declared Trump 'God's anointed' and the mystery is solved. Pro-life does not mean saving student's lives, but unborn babies. Everybody knows that.

LIABILITY Any student hospitalized, any lecturer who shows up for work and gets sick. LibertyU will make a nice, juicy legal target for ANY family who has a member injured by such irresponsible activity.

Parents gotta be smarter than this buffoon!!!

Ignorant. Self-serving. Idiots. How much influence does MONEY have with your decision. I can't think of ANYTHING else that would make you decide to come back; other than MONEY.

It is one of the largest Christian universities in the world and measured by student enrollment.[11][12] As of 2017, the university enrolls more than 15,000 students at its Lynchburg campus and more than 94,000 students in online courses for a total of about 110,000.[4]

Falwell throwing that religious guilt

Since the red hats have god to protect them, everyone else should get what science has to offer (tests, masks, ventilators, etc...)

Falwell should hug deadbeat donald on Easter Sunday. Maybe that will solve many problems

Truly an huckster. Touted a half-baked conspiracy theory on Faux News, compared The Great Pretender to King David, miserable so-called christians who bilk the gullible while selfself-righteously denouncing others .make me sick.Christ would be angry how you twist his teachin

Idiot says what? comeback

They can pray the virus away

Why not just go online like everyone else. ffs

Liberty University...where you're free to wallow in your righteous ignorance

That will be the end of Liberty.

Let’s see how this pans out.

Hmm murder to knowingly kill someone....Trump is the NewNero
