It took nearly two weeks for Jerry Falwell Jr. to delete and apologize for tweeting out a racist image in May, when he was still serving as Liberty Universitys president. School leadership didnt dole out any lasting punishment as a result of that tweet.

But when Libertys trustees heard there was a possibility that Falwell had been sexually promiscuous, their response was swift and decisive. Falwells hold on the university which had previously seemed unbreakable crumbled in a matter of days.

Former members of Libertys community have taken note of how quickly the institution reacted after learning that Falwell may have deviated from conservative Christian norms about sexual purity. In the end, it wasnt the allegations of racism , Islamophobia , nepotism , bullying or the numerous other controversies that swirled around Falwell for years that awakened the board to action. It was the sex stuff.

I honestly feel disrespected, said Keyvon Scott, a Black Liberty graduate and former online admissions counselor for the school.

It took all of this to come out for you to have him resign, Scott said. Im just baffled about it.

Scott told HuffPost he lost faith in Falwells leadership a long time ago, back when Falwell started supporting President Donald Trump in a way that Scott felt was divisive and placed Trump above God. The racist tweet was the last straw. Scott believed the university should have pushed the leader out after that tweet and ultimately resigned in protest.

As a student and former employee, I couldnt keep telling Black, Spanish, Asian students and others to, Come to Liberty, its so good, when its really not, he said.
