Jerry Falwell Jr. is expected to receive a $10.5 million severance package as he leaves his post as president of Liberty University. Falwell told The Washington Post that he will receive $2.5 million over the next two years, during which he will not work for a competing institution. He will then receive about $8 million in retirement as part of a contract he signed in July 2019.

“The board was gracious not to challenge that,” Falwell told the newspaper, maintaining “I haven’t done anything.” Liberty University officially accepted Falwell’s resignation on Tuesday, with the longtime university leader leaving the institution under a cloud of personal scandal.

Falwell first came under scrutiny earlier this month after he posted a photo of himself on a yacht with his arm around a young woman and his pants unzipped. A longtime business partner then claimed Falwell was a willing participant in a years-long affair involving his wife, Becki Falwell.

The couple has acknowledged the affair but has denied that Jerry Falwell was involved, claiming the former business partner was trying to blackmail the couple – allegations the former associate has dismissed.

1. Dear Liberty U parents

This is where your tuition money is going for little Aaron and little Deborah.

2. Unbelievable!

A "fine Christian" establishment like that forgot to put a morals clause in their executive contracts? Amazing! It's almost like they expected the sleaze. . .

3. Gee, I hope he doesn't get bored having to live on that pittance.

Also, any bets on how much of that he will tithe to God?

[OhNo-Really]

4. The cost of pool boys alone...,

5. Grifters gonna grift.

6. Morals clause ???

If he doesn't have one then Liberty U regents are a bunch of fools.

8. Morals are for the little people. Apparently.

10. C'mon, his daddy founded the place.

Of course Jerry Jr. would have a contract that actually rewards him for immoral behavior that reflects badly on the school. There's nothing the least bit surprising about this.

7. I haven't done anything, I just watched....

9. lololololol

People in glass pool houses...

11. No amount of money can buy back what ever self respect they once had.

For the rest of their lives, they'll be joked about by their (former?) peers behind their backs. The humiliation their adult children feel will never go away.

12. Wow, being a ultra-religious hypocrite sure pays well

I hope the pool boy gets his fair share. I think all the students should demand their tuition back since the institution obviously has millions of dollars it doesn't need.

13. Now we know the going price for watching a pool boy screw your wife and then political blackmail

Now we know the going price for being a white evangelical college president who resigns from your job after getting exposed watching a pool boy screw your wife from the corner of the room multiple times, over several years, then having evidence of said trysts used as political blackmail to get you to endorse the worst possible candidate for president.

$10.5 million.
