The executive committee of Liberty University’s board of trustees voted to place Jerry Falwell Jr., the college’s president, on indefinite leave after a photograph of him with a woman was posted online.

The committee, acting on behalf of the full board, “met today and requested that Jerry Falwell Jr. take an indefinite leave of absence from his roles as President and Chancellor of Liberty University, to which he has agreed, effective immediately,” Liberty University said in a statement.
