(The Center Square) – Virginia’s Liberty University has been fined $14 million in response to an investigation that says the school failed to report campus crime statistics and its handling of victims of sexual assault.

Jerry Jr. inherited his father’s desire to be a force in American politics, and his post as Liberty University president, while Jonathan inherited his father’s gift for evangelical uplift and became pastor of his church.
