The impending retirement of a key Liberty University official will likely result in a shake-up of the structure of the school’s administrative staff. Executive Vice President David L. Young announced last week that he will be stepping down effective July 1 to accept a teaching position in the school’s aviation program. Young announced his retirement at a meeting of LU’s Board of Trustees. Young’s departure will force a redistribution of his administrative duties, which include overseeing the school’s budget and managing the day-to-day operation of the campus. “This is a good time for institutional change,” Young said. “We need to structure the organization to meet the future needs of the university.”
When he was named the school’s chief operations officer two years ago, Young, a retired Air Force general, said he planned to stay on the job just a couple of years.
“It’s been fun actually,” he said. “But I love to fly.”
