Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. addresses students during a campus convocation on Dec. 9, 2015, in Lynchburg, Va. (Matt McClain/The Washington Post)Among college presidents, one stood out this year for his early and unwavering support of Donald Trump in the presidential campaign: Jerry Falwell Jr. of Liberty University. So it was not surprising that Trump would seek to thank Falwell after his upset victory in the Nov. 8 election. But the president-elect went a step further, meeting with Falwell on Thursday afternoon in New York at Trump Tower to discuss education and the coming administration. “I met with the president-elect and several of his top advisers to discuss what role I might be able to play with regard to education,” Falwell said Monday. Some students said they could not support the Republican nominee because they had doubts about his character and values.
