Liberty University may owe its former president Jerry Falwell Jr. roughly $10.5 million over the next two years following his resignation from the evangelical institution after a series of scandals.
Thatâs great, bleed Liberty University dry and hopefully they will have to declare bankruptcy. Their fundraisers are going to have fun explaining where the donations are going, other than Falwellâs pockets. That $10.5 million wonât last Falwell long, the next round of pool boys are going to be even more expensive.
I got hooted off another comment board when I said this last night, but isnât there a character/ conduct unbecoming clause in most employment contracts? How would his contract not be at risk??
Sure, theyâre both evil, but Liberty U. should sue Falwell for the damage he caused to the schoolâs reputation. Might not have to enrich him further after all.
Of course, heâs got the defense that theyâve known about a lot of this shit for years, and didnât do anything about it. But seeing that aspect of it exposed would be half the fun.
I wondered that too. Every contract Iâve ever signed had a clause like that.
But then, maybe he wrote the contract because itâs his daddyâs schoolâŚ
Maybe he had a clause that said âIâm not here to be a preacherâŚâ
So, a school and its administration, which has spent its entire existence pointing its accusatory moral finger at gays, women, Democrats, and every other group it hates, has no âmorals clauseâ in its contract with employees? Why should Falwell get a fucking penny? This whole thing makes them a laughingstock - although we know they were a laughingstock already, a scandal like this just proves it to the rest of the world, and why would parents who want to send their children to a university with a âmoralâ atmosphere (you know, fucking morons who donât realize a degree from Liberty is about as worthy as a degree from Trump University) even think about this hellhole of sin and depravation? Who knows what the hell else is going on with the rest of the staff?!
And I read somewhere else that part of the severance was Jerry, Jr. agreed not to work for another university. Yeah, Jerry, I am sure other religious schools are just falling over each other to hire your scabrous ass!
Honest to GODâŚreally. The man lies, bilks, sneaks and then runs out the door with âfree at lastâ and $10.5 millionâŚand the evangelicals blame the DEMOCRATS for their reputations. GOt it.
Yep. They more than likely added to the $10.5 a couple of mill just to get him to actually state that he had resigned. Holding them by the balls being the only reason why he said he had not quit, and they caved as expected.
That clause is mute for the rich and âinfluentialâ. Usually put their as a sop for the poors so that the board can say see we take our responsibility seriously.
