Flex contracts were given to certain faculty starting in early March. Due to the new block schedule and larger classes, Liberty University has an overabundance of resident professors. Where most colleges would lay off their teachers, Liberty has given them the opportunity to teach online and still retain their full pay and benefits. Liberty has termed this transition as “the reorganization.”
The Communication and Business Departments had the greatest number of flex contracts handed to professors. The Business Department’s faculty has gone from 15 resident professors to six because of the flex contract. Ten professors were given the flex contract out of 24 Communication Studies resident professors.
