Falwell: By Liberty University’s Definition, It’s Still the Largest Christian University
According to data Liberty University (VA) has typically used to call itself the nation’s largest Christian university, it has lost that title. Liberty has begun removing the claim from its website. But after Religion News Service published an article Friday (April 27) in which the university’s executive director for external communications acknowledged that Grand Canyon University (CO) had “supplanted” Liberty as the largest Christian university, President Jerry Falwell Jr. sent a statement to RNS questioning whether GCU meets Liberty’s definition of a Christian school.
