LIBERTY STUDENT NEWS

In lighter news, Liberty University released a video recap of the 2010 Commencement Ceremony.

Liberty University announced today that it found that Caner has made “factual statements that are self-contradictory” concerning “dates, names and places of residence.“ The statements included his description of being raised as a Muslim in Turkey, when documents indicate he moved to the United States at the age of 4.

Supposedly his contract was up on June 30th, and will not be renewed to be dean. But he’ll remain as faculty.

Here’s LU’s statement:

After a thorough and exhaustive review of Dr. Ergun Caner’s public statements, a committee consisting of four members of Liberty University’s Board of Trustees has concluded that Dr. Caner has made factual statements that are self-contradictory. However, the committee found no evidence to suggest that Dr. Caner was not a Muslim who converted to Christianity as a teenager, but, instead, found discrepancies related to matters such as dates, names and places of residence. Dr. Caner has cooperated with the board committee and has apologized for the discrepancies and misstatements that led to this review. Dr. Caner’s current contractual term as Dean of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary expires on June, 30, 2010. Dr. Caner will no longer serve as Dean of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. The university has offered, and Dr. Caner has accepted, an employment contract for the 2010-2011 academic year. Dr. Caner will remain on the faculty of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary as a professor.

Liberty University has told the city to hold off with the tunnel project that connects the Univerisity to the Wards Road shopping area and seek other low-cost alternatives. One is building a bridge instead.

Liberty hasn’t gotten permission yet from the railroad people to build a tunnel underneath them. Even if they do decide to do it, construction begins until 2011!

Do you guys prefer a bridge or tunnel?

Around 9 p.m. Wednesday, units were called to the lower parking lot of the old Thomas Road Baptist Church.

They found two tour buses heavily engulfed.

A 2000 model year tour bus has $100,000 worth of damage.

A 1998 model has $35,000 worth of damage

And a third bus has $2500 worth of damage.

Property caused more than 135-thousand dollars in damage.
