The penalty is the largest ever imposed by the Education Department, which found that the school had punished sexual assault victims but not their assailants and created a “culture of silence.”

The report also said Liberty discouraged staff members from sending out emergency notifications, failing to notify students of dangerous events such as campus bomb threats and gas leaks. And it accused the university of aggrandizing itself publicly as one of the safest colleges in the country while maintaining little data on campus crime and providing statistics it could not back up with official records.

The action is the latest blow to the standing of Liberty, which was founded by the conservative pastor and political activist Jerry Falwell Sr. and has grown into one of the country’s most prominent evangelical institutions, with a sprawling campus and an endowment of more than $2 billion. Mr. Falwell’s son, Jerry Falwell Jr., resigned as president in 2020 amid a sex scandal, and was sued by the university for $40 million in damages the next year for various breaches of contract.

Thoughts and prayers.
 
Russell Moore has spoken out against this sort of coverup extensively, along with committing the unpardonable sin of criticizing Trump. Cost him his position of power in the SBC.

The Falwells are all the lowest form of gutter slime.
