A few things about the Liberty University 14 million dollar fine. Let me say that they’re guilty and they admitted it. A school their size to only have one police officer? That’s crazy. But the size of the fine.
The largest Clery Act fine in history was $4.5 million against Michigan State in 2019, according to a February report from the Congressional Research Service. Federal investigators said Michigan State failed to adequately respond to sexual assault complaints against Larry Nassar, a campus sports doctor who molested elite gymnasts and other female athletes.
The fine never should have been this large. Especially since Liberty has so far spent over 10 million to fix this problem.
