LIBERTY UNIVERSITY
Liberty University was a Christian Evangelical school that was controlled by conservative Republican figures, and unlike regular universities was not bipartisan. This quotation is significant because all secular universities and the vast majority of religious universities have been non-partisan and allowed political interest clubs for all political parties. Liberty university was an example of a new role for religion and religious universities—identifying with one political party and prohibiting its students from campus activities of the other major party.
