AU Charges Liberty University Violated Non-Profit Limits In Virginia Election Campaign

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Americans United announced yesterday that it has asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether Liberty University has violated its Section 501(c)(3) non-profit status by using the school's student newspaper to support one of the two candidates for a seat in Virginia House of Delegates last November. AU's letter (full text) to the IRS charges that University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. and others used the paper and other school resources to support the election of Scott Garrett over incumbent Shannon Valentine. Garrett won by 210 votes in a victory attributed to block voting by students, faculty and staff of Liberty University. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
