Jerry Falwell Jr. and Liberty University Reach Settlement

Jerry Falwell Jr. and Liberty University announced Friday they had reached a settlement, nearly four years after Falwell resigned as president of the influential Christian school amid personal scandals. In a remarkable turnaround, Liberty, a private university in Virginia that has national political and evangelical clout, announced it had reached an agreement with Falwell on “all outstanding disputes on both legal and personal matters.” Falwell resigned in 2020 from the school his father, a pastor and prominent televangelist, co-founded.
