Department of Education is currently investigating whether the school violated the federal Clery Act, which requires colleges and universities to maintain and disclose crime statistics and security information.The recently settled lawsuit alleged that Liberty’s honor code makes it “difficult or impossible” for students to report sexual violence or abuse.

gave a bombshell interview to Vanity Fair, in which he claimed he never lived by the values he purported to before resigning from the college back in August 2020 amid the whole pool boy sex scandal.Related: Jerry Falwell Jr.
