The Trump administration has asked Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. to lead a panel on reform of higher education regulations, the leader of the evangelical Christian school said Tuesday.
In the Department of Education, theres too much intrusion into the independent accreditation, Falwell told The Washington Post in a telephone interview. Theres too much intrusion into the operation of universities and colleges. Ive got a whole list of concerns. It mainly has to do with deregulation.
Falwells latest connection with the Trump team was first reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
The Liberty president was an early endorser of Trump during the Republican primaries in 2016 and a steadfast supporter during the general election, including when Trump faced withering criticism over his crude remarks about women and sex on a 2005 videotape that surfaced in October. Some within the Liberty community were critical of Falwells support of Trump, saying at the time that his endorsement risked linking the school too closely to a divisive politician.
