Falwell ‘didn’t keep his word’ Over Liberty Closure, Lynchburg Officials Say

“On March 23, Falwell announced that the Lynchburg, Virginia, campus would reopen residence halls after spring break. ‘Our thinking was, “Let’s get [students] back as soon as we can—the ones who want to come back,”’…. He added that Lynchburg’s mayor and city manager ‘thanked us for making that decision.’ Those officials, however, claim they were misled.” - Church Leaders
