What do you do when a global pandemic hits and you're the president of a college or university?

Welcome to the Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church.

I'm Julie Roy's.

And today I'm coming to you from my home where we're all sheltering in place.

So you may hear a bit of a difference in sound quality, but like many of you, we're trying to make the best of a difficult

situation. And I do hope and pray that you're doing well and staying safe right now. Well,

joining me today is Dr. Gene Krum, president of Judson University. And Gene, like thousands of

college presidents around the country, has been trying to deal with the coronavirus pandemic while also

educating students, protecting their safety and keeping a college afloat. And as you can imagine,

it's been an extremely intense ride. So I'm very grateful that he's taken the time to join me today.

And I'm looking forward to hearing about what that's been like at Judson during this crisis.

We're also going to discuss the debacle at Liberty University.

As many of you have heard, that's where university president, Jerry Falwell Jr., decided to keep the school open,

and now one student has tested positive for COVID-19, another is awaiting results results and eight students are in self-isolation.

So kind of a crazy situation there, a very controversial situation, and we'll be getting to that a little bit too.

But before we dive into our discussion, I want to take a minute to thank our sponsors.

Of course, one of them is Judson University, and just a reminder that Judson's next

world leaders forum is October 20th at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center,

and the speaker will be General David Petraeus, a four-star general and former director of the CIA.

That's ways off, but you'll want to mark your calendars now. Also, I want to encourage you right now to support your local businesses.

They need our help.

And if you happen to be looking for a car, I highly recommend my friends at Marcourt of Barrington.
