Robertson's role founder, chancellor and member of the board of trustees; donated $117 million, mostly in securities, in 1992

Purpose "Christ-centered graduate education" at, among others, the Robertson School of Government and Regent Law School

Problems Only 1,400 students enrolled out of a goal of 3,000. In 1995 the university laid off 10 people (including a VP and a chaplain) for budgetary reasons. Meanwhile, applications dropped about 25 percent. And the law division has been embroiled in a series of lawsuits over tenure and academic freedom, which, according to published reports, have kept it from getting permanent ABA accreditation.

Robertson's role founder and president

Purpose Think of it as the Christian Right's ACLU.

Successes The ACLJ's chief counsel, Jay Sekulow, has won several Supreme Court decisions, including Bray v. Alexandria, in which the court ruled that the federal government could not use the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 as a precedent to limit abortion protests.

Case pending The ACLJ has filed suit to restore the tax-exempt status of the church at Pierce Creek in upstate New York. One of its members is the founder of Operation Rescue, Randall Terry. The evangelical church lost its tax-exempt status because it engaged in electioneering when it took out full-page newspaper ads urging Christians to vote against Bill Clinton. If the ACLJ wins, it could set a precedent that would allow the Christian Coalition to campaign directly for political candidates.
