I wonder if Liberty Univ will be diversifying its viewpoint.
- mc32 1y agoDoes it get state and federal funding? If it does, it should conform. If it's private and does not get funding, then I guess it can continue doing what it does...
- lokar 1y agoThey count students paying with federal grants and loans, so yes.
- matthewdgreen 1y agoA quick reminder that the First Amendment of the Unites States Constitution bars the Federal government from forcing private institutions to participate in chosen political speech. The question of whether you get funding from the Federal Government should not matter, since it's the Federal Government that's constitutionally constrained from doing this. Of course if we're no longer in a place where the rule of law applies, then sentences like "if it's private and does not get funding..." hardly matter.
- UncleMeat 1y agoYes. It receives federal grant funding for its faculty. Students receive federal loans for tuition. And international students can receive visas to attend it.
