"Record $14 Million Fine Imposed on Liberty University for Mishandling Campus Safety Complaints"

Liberty University has been hit with a record $14 million fine by the Department of Education for mishandling reports of sexual assault and other campus safety issues, creating a "culture of silence." The university faced criticism for discouraging and dismissing women who reported assault, with victims being punished while their assailants went unpunished. The fines are the largest in Department of Education history, and Liberty will also face two years of federal oversight. The university has admitted to mistakes and committed to spending $2 million to improve campus safety.
