... In the fall .. a student group .. issued a strong rebuke ...

"We are Liberty students who are disappointed with President Falwell's endorsement and are tired of being associated with one of the worst presidential candidates in American history," the group's statement read. It added that Trump "received a pitiful 90 votes from Liberty students in Virginia's primary election, a colossal rejection of his campaign" ...

More than 6,100 graduates attended Liberty's ceremony, 68 percent of whom attended classes online and probably had never been to campus before ...

Trump received .. an honorary doctor of laws degree ...

I doubt the students feel much differently now; in fact, probably more negatively towards this monstrosity of a president and the stone-cold GOP that is devoid of compassion towards other citizens.
