Ever seen the rules at Falwell's "University"?

[pstokely]

People actually pay to go here. They actually expect students to follow these rules off-campus and during breaks. How do they enforce these rules then?

1. I wonder why they call it Liberty University

if you don't have any?

[Botany]

2. Wow!

What a party

.... random pee tests .... collared shirts @ all times ..... no ripped clothes

[Faygo Kid]

3. Thanks for this; worth notice. Hot babes, supine Negroes.

I am sorry to say it as it is, but I watched a show about Fanny Hamer last night, and I am rather feisty. Look at that. No further comment, except thanks, and you are absolutely right. And perspicacious.

[Ellen Forradalom]

6. Female students' hair shall be blonde

except where such student is determined to be African-American by a committee established by the Dean of Negro Students, in which case the hair may remain black. All hair, however, must be straight or mildly wavy, with no exceptions.

:sarcasm:

[Botany]

7. I love DU! we dun guot smart people hear.

perspicacious, adjective.
1. keen in observing and understanding; discerning.
Ex. perspicacious wit.
(SYN) shrewd, acute.
2. (Archaic.) clear-sighted.

Way to go faygokid!

:party: :beer: :bounce:

I'z dun gots me a new book learnt word.

[Blutodog]

4. I read it:

I love the part about demostrations etc. How this prison camp atmosphere is in anyway about Liberty is a joke. Liberty U. is an oxymoron! Fascists U is more like it. Jerry Falwell is a fat fascist fraud and his schooli s just another example of the hypocrisy that is so much a part of the tight little world these assklowns inhabit.

[MercutioATC]

5. I'm shocked! Not a word about tattoos!

Yeah, there's the catch-all "address any questions to the Dean's Office" thing, but I expected to see an explicit prohibition. These fundies are slipping...

[central scrutinizer]

8. Don't forget Bob Jones Univesity

where the right wing go to get their racist credentials updated - mandatory stop for Repukes before the South Carolina primary.

[pstokely]

12. But that place has no accredation

[CelticWinter]

9. welcome to the 12th century n/t

[Occulus]

10. This is an excellent argument for a ban on ALL religious schooling.

These places are ANTI American, and in the WORST possible way.

I'll pull out a long-held, deeply-buried belief of mine: religious schooling should be OUTLAWED.

Not just banned, not just stopped, but in fact CRIMINALIZED.

[Journeyman]

11. I have to agree with Tom Jefferson here. . .

"It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg," so I'll venture no opinion on whatever restrictive rules these silly Pucks adopt.

[A Simple Game]

17. Other than child abuse by the parents that send their

children there, I have to agree with you.

[napi21]

13. This is extremely mild compared to Bob Jones!

The men there must west a shirt and tie to class, and the female students are NEVER permitted to wear pants of any kind.

I was also surprised there was no "fraternization" statements there. BJ says there will be NONE on campus!

I used to live about 5 miles from BJ. It's a beautiful campus, but my neighbor across the street was a student there. He was a nice enough young guy, but always seemed like he never recognized the real world! I laughed MAO when his 16 year old sister got pregnant while in HS. She got married, but I moved shortly after that and have no idea if it lasted!

[pstokely]

14. It's at the far end for a place with accredation.

[Serenades]

15. Huh?

I've heard of retrograde ejaculations but is this a retrograde country?

[pstokely]

16. Negroes allowed!

At least if they can play ball.

[JohnnyRingo]

22. Hahahahahaha.....Is he the only one?!

Look at that admiring sea of white.
Good pic

on edit:
I see the web site looks pretty diverse. (50%)
Did they get them from an agency?

[pstokely]

24. There's also a few coaches.

[Old and In the Way]

26. Dressed like funeral directors.

Talk about enforcing conformity. Looks like the radical is on the right, he's wearing a colored shirt.

[JohnnyRingo]

28. With that shaved head...

they may have lured him in from another cult.
Had to lose the Nikes though

[HPULiberal]

39. No!!!!

That photo is from the conference championship in which the school I would attend, High Point, lost by 45 points to "Liberty". I hate that we regularly have two right-wing extremist schools that come to our campus often, "Liberty" and VMI, which are in our athletic conference. I find it funny that Falwell blamed 9/11 on feminists, when Title IX is what lead to women's basketball becoming mainstream, in which "Liberty" has dominated our conference.

How any Falwell school can be accredited beats me.

[newyawker99]

40. Hi HPULiberal!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[DelawareValleyDem]

18. 'conducive to a Christ-like environment'?

what does the even mean? And it seems like Jesus himself would be banned for violating the hair length/dress code.


"Attendance at the university is a privilege"

Sure doesn't sound that way.

[pstokely]

19. Christ would have violated the shoe policy.

[Gregorian]

20. Jesus would never go there.

Furthermore, his hair was over his ears.

Actual religion is very freeing and liberating. These people have it all wrong. Looks like white man has a god complex.

[pstokely]

21. American Taliban U!

[Inland]

23. I don't have to see them.

It's a religious school doing religious stuff with religious rules. The only thing that's surprising is how many people sign up for it.

[pstokely]

25. Falwell wants to play Notre Dame in football.

http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/9220541

Lord knows, Falwell, Liberty thinking big in football

Of all the fires Jerry Falwell has started with his mouth, this nugget might be among the more incendiary

refuse to die," the famous televangelist told SportsLine.com this week, "until we get this done."

What, a 900-foot Jesus? More fundamentalist doctrine?

No. Football. Falwell, 72, wants to preside over a Division I-A football program in his lifetime. A big-time D-I program, one that could take the field against Notre Dame some day on even terms.

[Craig3410]

34. And here's to them losing 223-0.

I dislike ND, but you're a fan of mine if you're playing liberty U.

(223-0 to set the record by one point. :)

[JohnnyRingo]

27. "guidelines for suicidal thoughts"

...or if your parents wont let you drop out

Student / Staff Course of Action

As a student, if I find myself or another student in crisis and/or experiencing suicidal thoughts and desire immediate counseling, I should contact my Resident Assistant (RA), Resident Director (RD), Dean (Dean of Women/Men) or Liberty University Police Department (LUPD) personally or by phone.

Based on the point of contact, the following steps will occur:


The RA will contact the RD.
The RD will contact the Dean.
The Dean will contact a licensed professional (at Liberty University) and will also contact LUPD for transport to Lynchburg General Hospital, if necessary.

Note: This expense will be covered by the student’s insurance or by the student.

Never mind...it's too late now

[Boojatta]

29. "Improper personal contact (anything beyond hand-holding)"

Is a hug beyond hand-holding?

[alphafemale]

30. No CD's or videos but....Guns are allowed in dorm rooms!

Is that about it?

[CatholicEdHead]

31. No, videos are allowed but they must be PG-13 or lower

[Rocknrule]

32. "Women must wear burkas whenever in public"

"If a student commits theft, he shall have his hand cut off"
"If a student engages in sexual activity, he shall have his...do I really need to say it?"

Sounds like the kind of university you'd find in Iran

[artemisia1]

33. It's a Stepford School, my niece goes to one. eom

[Occulus]

35. If I won the lottery,

The Powerball, mind you, one of the things I would do with the money would be to fund dozens or hundreds of fake (LIBERAL) students to Liberty and BJ, full ride, with the EXPRESS purpose of causing as much disruption as possible.

I would send people there with the express purpose of shutting them down.

Schools like these do not have any right to exist.

[Boojatta]

36. Some rules to consider before you sign up

"Direct disobedience/disrespect": If you ask a question that a professor can't answer, then will you get reprimanded for "disrespect"?

"Entering the space above ceiling tiles": What does that mean?

"Participation in an unauthorized petition or demonstration":
Are we back in the Liberty USSR? Keeping your comrade warm will also get you a reprimand.

"Association with those consuming alcohol": Jesus would have to pay $250?

"Involvement with witchcraft, séances or other occultic activities"
Is it okay to read Harry Potter?

[Boojatta]

37. "Entering the space above ceiling tiles"

Okay, I think I figured it out. Somebody climbed up to the ceiling, pushed some ceiling tiles out of the way and climbed into that space. Now they've got a rule against doing that.

Why is there no rule against "Standing on your head during class"?

How about a rule against "Hopping to class on one foot even though there's nothing wrong with your other foot or leg"?

[Ioo]

38. Entering the space above ceiling tiles - Looks like Homos are okay...

I mean it is all about oppisite sex... So I am good...
