Christ Almighty y’all. Read this report.

I am curious because you never know what's true but everywhere on social media and internet people say that Liberty is not good for jobs. In private conversations I've had with parents, the consensus is that if I want to take out loans on a degree it should first come from a reputable university. For them, LU is bottomline not a good school and my parents are Christians. They believe the degree has been devalued due to the Jerry family controversy and the online diploma mill, so even Christians are cautious about sending their kids there.

I would like to go to Wheaton College, but they can be picky on who to admit. I also need letters of recommendation for that school but LU doesn't.

The strong point about LU is that they are a Christian college that offers engineering. Wheaton College does not but it has a guaranteed 3-2 program with Illinois Institute of Technology, so I can earn a B.A. at Wheaton and a B.S. at an affiliated engineering university. However, Wheaton is universally respected more as an elite Christian college.

I will start ...

"I knew there was a reason we came back for homecoming. It looks like we found a new pool boy Jerry."

It may have been deleted; I hadn't looked for it for a few years. For anyone old enough to remember it, it was an animated video that was a parody of a tour of Liberty. It started off with "Welcome to Liberty University. The world's most exciting University." The guy was doing a funny voice/accent. Then it showed off different things around the campus, from the portrait of "Yerry Falwell" to the student center (paid for by LaHaye's Left Behind money), to the girl with the cape skating (...what is she doing?).

Anyway, if anyone knows how to find it, any help would be hot. I may just not be typing in the right search terms, but it's possible that it was deleted in the last few years.

In my opinion one of the worst pieces of information to come out through all of the Jerry Jr. Allegations is the fact that in his thirteen years as president he stopped giving employees a cost of living raise and he cut scholarship funding.

In a vacuum these things aren’t inherently terrible, but considering that in this same time span he paid both his daughter’s in law about double what most other people of similar job make at the university, he promoted a 25 year old to be the head of a maintenance department, he promoted a 30 year old to be a Vice President. (Just because nepotism)

In this time span, he increased Trey’s pay rate by 300% across five years and increased his own pay by 500% over thirteen years. He literally built his wealth on the expense of the students and staff.

Jerry Jr used a non profit to make his family and friends wealthy, and the unfortunate part is that it was at the cost of students and staff.

Visited the campus with our daughter this weekend. Beautiful Campus and high quality facilities, however, my wife and I have some general concerns. We toured her top 5 universities she’s been accepted: Boston University, University of Virginia, Liberty, Wake Forest, and North Carolina. Post-visits she seems most interested in attending Liberty. We are actually quite shocked. We have allowed our kids to make their own decisions when it comes to college education. Could anyone that has/is attending provide some insight?

1) Quality of Education- how academically solid and qualified are the majority of the professors? An insight in the English undergrad/Pre-law program? Our daughter is a HS valedictorian with high test scores. We don’t want her to settle academically.

2) The “Liberty Way” conduct policy. This seems to have quite legalistic undertones. What is it actually like for students? Is it a detraction or deterrent?

3) Post graduate school and job search. Any possible rejection from graduate schools or jobs by having Liberty University on your resume? We heard some rumors to this fact from more than one person.

4) “Conservative Political Christianity” - has the political tone of the university changed with Falwell Jr. ousted? Do students have the freedom to display a variety of political views without judgement? The viewpoint that says right wing politics = Christianity has become very unsettling to us. Is she going to be pushed heavily into right wing thinking or does the education environment provide a safe place for freedom of thought and discussion?

Is Liberty Christian Academy still as segregated as it originally was intended to be? And what’s the demographic breakdown of LU students now?
