The email was shared with Popular Information by a source who requested anonymity, citing fears of retaliation from the university.

When reached by phone, Green said he could not comment without permission from Edie Swann, Liberty University Law School’s Director of Public Affairs.

He concluded by stating that his objective was “to get double digit Liberty Law students in this program this summer.”. »
