The answer to your question is that A> there are many denominations
(not just Evangelical ones) that school in theology from Liberty.
Also, my time there as a student was met with multiple professors that
disagreed OPENLY with Jerry Falwell and Evangelicalism (it, in fact,
was a scandal a few time that ended with the professors remaining
there). I notice you didn't provide objective evidence for your claim
(of lack of other denomination graduates or professors), which you
couldn't...it being untrue. So, what is your objective standard for
the claim?

The doctrinal statement of the faculty is very watered down to the
basic creeds of ALL Christians. Yet, without knowing this, you
decided it was not this way...why...upon what doctrinal statement were
you relying in making your conclusions?
