Liberty University was hit with a record $14 million fine after a two-year investigation found that the evangelical Christian institution failed to comply with a federal campus crime-reporting law.

The fine is the largest ever imposed over violations of what’s known as the Clery Act, according to a March 5 announcement by the U.S. Department of Education. The 1990 law mandates colleges that receive federal dollars to disclose campus crime statistics to current and prospective students, their families, employees, and the federal government.
