Well that's a surprize.
After all the hand wringing,the resignations and agony over NPR’s government funding turns out Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University and evangelical school get more money from Federal programs than NPR.
Located in Lynchburg, Virginia, Liberty’s motto is “Training champions for Christ.”
Last year, Liberty students received approximately $445 million in federal financial aid. NPR’s parent, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, got $420 million.
House Republicans have sworn to cut NPR out of the federal budget altogether, arguing that taxpayers shouldn’t be financing a news outlet with slanted coverage.
52,000 of the university’s 64,000 students are enrolled in online courses at Liberty University whose motto is “Training champions for Christ.”
The jump in attendance caused the school’s financial aid allotment to leap from $284 million in 2008-2009 to $445 million in 2009-2010.
