Liberty University President and prominent Trump supporter Jerry Falwell
Jr. will take an indefinite leave from his position effective
immediately it was announced Friday.
Falwell's departure from the university comes just two days after
he apologized on Wednesday for posting a picture online which
showed him with his pants unzipped and his arm around a woman.
The
picture, posted and deleted from Instagram Tuesday, sparked controversy
because of the strict code of conduct for Liberty University students
which requires them to dress with 'appropriateness' and 'modesty'.
'The
Executive Committee of Liberty University's Board of Trustees, acting on
behalf of the full Board, met today and requested Jerry Falwell Jr.
take an indefinite leave of absence from his roles as President and
Chancellor of Liberty University, to which he has agreed, effective
immediately,' according to a statement issued by Liberty University
Friday.
