II Corinthians 3:17 Dispel rumors; don't add to lies, misconceptions While Liberty University was embroiled in the financial hardships of the past years, rumors and misconceptions flew thick as the university was put in a peculiar position in many different ways. The school's legal struggles with the People for the American Way, among other organizations, often thrust us into the limelight for our stands on certain issues. Our chancellor is no stranger to the national political arena, and his name is still synonymous with the identity of the fundamentalist right. Because of our youth as a university, we are the subject of "close scrutiny by those who are skeptical of our rapid growth and expansion. But the fact remains that many people, Lynchburg and abroad, know little about the university and what it stands for; therefore we are often the source of rumors and innuendos. As a result, hearsay could have had an adverse affect on enrollment. For example, several years ago, prospective students from distant states called to ask if the university was still functioning. Rumor had it that Science goes too far; human cloning Liberty had closed its doors. Consider for instance the article "Bible College on the Brink" in the Wednesday, Aug. 25 issue of USA Today.
