Jerry Falwell Jr, a key evangelical Trump ally, agreed to step aside from his position at the private Virginia Christian university this month after long-running concerns about his conduct reached new heights when he posted a photo of himself with his arm around a woman with his trousers unzipped and underwear exposed. He was placed on an “leave of absence” by the university board, a milder punishment than is exacted upon LGBT+ students deemed to have transgressed the strict moral codes at the notorious conservative institution. The disgraced evangelist will be replaced as the university’s president by board chairman Jerry Prevo. A statement on Monday confirmed: “Liberty University has announced that Chairman Jerry Prevo has accepted the appointment by the Executive Committee of the Board to serve as the Acting President of the University.
