"Liberty University Hit with $14 Million Fine for Campus Safety Violations"
TL;DR
Liberty University has agreed to pay a record $14 million fine for failing to disclose campus crime data, including sexual assaults, as required by the Clery Act. The fine is the largest ever under the law, which mandates colleges to report crime and ensure campus safety. The university, previously known for its safe campus, faced federal scrutiny for discouraging crime reporting and lacking documentation. This comes amid lawsuits alleging mishandling of sexual assault cases, and follows the departure of former president Jerry Falwell Jr.
