amid the nation’s coronavirus outbreak, Liberty University again finds itself in the middle of a controversy.
After the New York Times reported Sunday that multiple Liberty students had gotten sick after returning to campus, the Virginia university pushed back, labeling the report as "false." In an email to USA TODAY, Scott Lamb, the school's senior vice president of communications, said there have been “no cases of any on-campus student testing positive for coronavirus,” adding that four students were told to self-isolate not because they had symptoms but because they had just returned from New York.
Additionally, Lamb said, one online student, who does not live on campus, “who never left Lynchburg has tested positive from local contacts in the community.”, Liberty is not aware of any students in its residence halls testing positive for COVID-19 or, in fact, being tested at all, much less any residence hall students having sufficient symptoms of COVID-19 prompting the need to get tested based on current CDC guidelines,” Liberty said in a statement.
