In reply to otrotierra. Or merely provides an excuse. But it's still inexcusable.

Great witness to Christianity there!, oh flagship of american “christianity”…
On a related note, awhile ago I read the book, The Unlikely Disciple… in which the author describes earnest Liberty U evangelism/Bible classes going to the streets and the beach during spring break to witness. I believe this was the early 2000’s and the outings seemed fraught then. I wonder how those kinds of things are going now… (if they still do them?)

In reply to Tacitus. Christianity is about Christ not men. That’s like divorcing your wife because a friend of hers is scum .

If this is true, he needs to be fired. There is no place for this unethical behavior from a University that claims to be Christian.

So I just learned that Liberty University faculty are not on the tenure system, so that explains their silence and complicity in the face of blatant corruption and anti-biblical values.

set up a “Women for Cohen” twitter account
Women for Cohen? Or was it Women for Trump?
EDIT: I now see that it really was “Women for Cohen”. Strange for a guy who was not running for anything. Trump seems to attract some perverse people.

In any event, this does not say much for the way the culture of Liberty U. (at least those in leadership) prioritizes politics versus integrity. One wonders how the connection was made between Cohen and Liberty’s CIO — did Falwell set them up or was there some other connection with Liberty?

Surprise, surprise. This guys has connections to the AACC, too.

In 2011, he was a co-leader for the “Technology, Social Networking & the Future” track of the AACC World Conference.

He also led a workshop during that same 2011 conference. It was called, “Cyber Counseling: Current Trends and Innovative Strategies for Success.”

In 2012, he was co-leader for the “Coaching Business Strategies and Practice” track of the AACC National Conference.

And they wonder why young people are increasingly abandoning the Christian faith…

In reply to AHH. "The connection between Messrs. Trump and Cohen and Liberty University dates at least to 2012, when Mr. Falwell invited Mr. Trump to give a speech and Mr. Cohen accompanied him. Soon after, Mr. Gauger was introduced to Mr. Cohen, helped him set up an Instagram account and gave him his cellphone number should he need more assistance, he said."
