Lynchburg’s Liberty University is facing a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit from a Charlottesville-based law firm.
MichieHamlett Attorneys at Law recently filed the suit in federal court. It states that Liberty University responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by closing dining halls, except for limited take-out, moved church services and classes online, canceled student activities, and told students to go home if they could.
However, Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. claimed the school is open, because not all students could leave.
