Lawmakers are asking the Department of Education to look into Liberty University’s handling of sexual assault claims.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) were among the lawmakers who called for an investigation into how the school in their state handles instances of sexual abuse.
“Any campus policy that deters or discourages a survivor of sexual assault from speaking out and seeking justice is wrong,” Kaine said in a statement to The Hill. “Students who bravely speak out deserve to be heard and to have their claims taken seriously. My office is urging the Department of Education to investigate these claims against Liberty and take appropriate action.”
