Students at Liberty University have issued a statement criticizing their president, Jerry Falwell Jr., for endorsing and continuing to stand by Donald Trump's presidential candidacy. A statement issued by students Wednesday night said that Falwell is damaging the reputation of their university and that they are speaking out to "regain the integrity" of the institution. Under the name Liberty United Against Trump, students issued a statement that illustrates deep divisions on the campus over Falwell's active work on behalf of the Trump campaign. And while Falwell has always stated that his endorsement was not on behalf of the university, the students say that Liberty has in fact been implicated by his actions. Falwell was one of the earliest evangelical leaders to back Trump, and he did so well before the outcome of the Republican primary race was clear.
