Liberty University on Thursday said it will shift to online instruction and halt indoor gatherings, as part of its “temporary mitigation measures” to slow the spread of COVID-19 on campus.
The evangelical Christian university in Lynchburg, Virginia, said the temporary mitigation period will last from Aug. 30 through Sept. 10, during which all residential classes will be moved online and large indoor gatherings suspended. Outdoor events, including the 2021 football season opener on Sept. 4, are not interrupted.
