Officials of Liberty University and the College Democrats club that meets on campus have not yet had a meeting of the minds, but they did have a meeting on Wednesday, the school announced.

The school has removed the club from its official list of endorsed clubs, but a new agreement may be in the works.

Club secretary Jan Dervish, a junior, discussed ways the club could operate within the school’s value system, which includes opposition to abortion and gay marriage.


“These are values that we all take seriously,” said Dervish, a junior. “We’re currently working on changing our constitution to more succinctly address the school’s concerns, as well as solidify our respect for the school and what it stands for.”

University President Jerry Falwell Jr. said he’s asked club officials to put their proposals from the meeting in writing.

“I’m optimistic that if the university can work directly with the students that a compromise can be reached,” Falwell said.
