Sex parties

He'll walk off into the sunset with 10 million dollars

The Rapture?

A pool party! All pool boys in the State are invited.

Perhaps they could close a school built on lies and lechery and turn its buildings into affordable housing, or free health clinic or a Jane Addams’ style settlement house. Of course, they won’t. It’ll be a cut-rate, slummy DeVry.

Burn it down, its a house of evil.

May want to find a university NOT based on the story of a homeless Palestinian Jew as detailed in the famous best selling novel.

They should apply to real institutions and let this one rot into bankruptcy.

I mean, they’ve all bought into him to the point that they are to blame for any fallout, right? It’s not like this was new or unexpected, just typical behavior we expect from these types now, so... no real sympathy here.

Start by giving $10,250,000 back.

They should enroll elsewhere and stop funding this scam.

Well he's got more candidates to bang his wife now

They should loosen up. God is dead. Trump killed her.

Falwell just made their degrees useless. Who would hire anybody from that crackpot university.

Perverted gawd-fearing voyeur spewing, in the name of whatever pretend gawd he believes in. His gawd, by his grotesque pimp behavior, upholds lies, hatred, racism, greed, sexual deviancy.... ShepardForTheDevil

I going to hide in the corner and watch this thread.

That school is nasty 🤮

Rename it Libertine University. It's more in keeping with the vision of its founding family.

Falwell needs to go away and the students need to go home when they state getting the trump virus.

All these guys need help. Too many of them on TV like snake oil sales people pandering to poor desperate folks. Take away their tax exempt status and many of them will drop off like flies.

What should come next is anything associated with the university or the religious organization should have its tax exempt status removed

Most students do not care who the president of their university is. Just focus on getting your education.

Shut down the college because faith and belief are not knowledge. And people who believe in magic and ghosts cannot be trusted to speak upon facts of science. Religious school is just the study of an old book, real school studies lots of books.

Only a fool would be any part of that diploma mill. All associated are part of the scam. Run far and fast from their students, graduates and faculty. scam.

Why are they going back? Didn't learn anything the first time?

Serve God with all your heart ❤️ “NOT” ImpeachedTrump! The God your ACADEMIC INSTITUTION profess to LOVE, as you should know is a JEALOUS God.

Never fear. Jerry will be watching.

“And to punish him we shall send him away with a mere 10 million dollars.”

Criminal investigation

I'm watching this story intently.

And on Thursday AP showed...yet again...they are shills of the left. No surprise there...move along.

Half the students are actively participating, the other half are just sitting in the corner watching.

Cant just say what you want and hide behind the book .. especially after daddy had a meltdown himself .. and .. POTUS .. the country sees the type people you hide behind ..

'We're all get all Corona'ed up for Jesus!'

Big deal, he watched his wife get slammed. God was watching too, right?

close the school because we're still in a pandemic

prepare for a covid outbreak?

what does jerry falwell say if he catches his wife cheating? -you put me in a tight corner
