The leak of a report alleging mishandling and cover-up of sexual abuse at Liberty University has sparked controversy. University President Dondi Costin claims it’s an intentional effort to tarnish the school’s image, linking it to the Biden administration’s attacks on religious conservatives. However, alumni groups and the draft report itself paint a grim picture of the university’s failures, violating the Clery Act and facing potential unprecedented fines. Allegations include discouraging crime reports, underreporting claims, destroying evidence, and tolerating serial abuse by a senior administrator. Liberty officials deny the allegations, citing errors in the report, and have taken measures to address concerns. The situation raises questions about accountability and campus safety in one of the world’s largest Baptist universities.<\/p>\n
