The
Chronicle of Higher Education reported this week that Liberty University president Jerry Falwell, Jr. has been asked by President Trump to lead a new task force that will identify Department of Education policies and procedures that should be changed. Falwell says he sees the task force as a response to overreaching regulation of accreditation standards and policies that affect student recruitment by colleges. The
New York Times yesterday speculated that Falwell's Liberty University could benefit from certain regulatory rollbacks.
