APNewsBreak: Accreditor asks for info after Falwell reports

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The accrediting body that oversees Liberty University has asked the college for more information about recent news reports that have questioned President Jerry Falwell Jr.’s leadership style and personal business interests, a spokeswoman told The Associated Press.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges recently sent the Lynchburg, Virginia, university a letter asking it to “respond to the media reports,” Janea Johnson said this week.

Johnson declined to provide details about the contents of the letter or any specific concerns the commission would like addressed, saying the commission doesn’t divulge such communications.

“The things that are in the media are things we wanted the institution to address to us,” Johnson said.

Liberty spokesman Scott Lamb said the university hadn’t received any communications from the commission yet.

Liberty is the nation’s highest-profile evangelical college. Falwell previously told AP that the news reports stemmed from an “attempted coup” orchestrated by several disgruntled former board members and employees who are leaking internal university communications to discredit him. He said he has asked the FBI to investigate what he considers a criminal conspiracy.

She's a fundy, so I don't ask details. But gosh how many years does it take to get a master's degree??? She's been at this since 2007.
