Fired Liberty U Spokesman Tells Inside Story Behind Lawsuit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3CiG2D6CrE Guest Bios Show Transcript Did Liberty University mishandle Title IX sexual assault allegations? The school’s former spokesman says it did—and he joins Julie Roys in a special edition of The Roys Report to tell his inside story. Lamb this week filed a federal lawsuit against Liberty, accusing the school of firing him for raising objections to Liberty’s “mishandling” of Title IX allegations. In this podcast, Lamb describes what happened in the October 4th meeting he had with Liberty President Jerry Prevo and other top officials, which led to Lamb’s firing. According to Lamb, not only did he raise the issue of Title IX violations during the meeting, Lamb also confronted Prevo for trying to use the university’s think tank—the Standing for Freedom Center (formerly the Falkirk Center)—to “get people elected.” This led to a heated confrontation in which Prevo called Lamb a “liar” and demanded his resignation, Lamb says. Lamb also reveals how Liberty failed investigate the claims in a Title IX lawsuit by 22 women, but instead hired a lawyer focused on only “mitigating” the consequences of litigation.  He also talks about what happened behind the scenes at Liberty when I began investigating the 2005 gang rape reported by a former student—now Jane Doe #2 in the Title IX lawsuit. According to Lamb, Liberty officials were focused on trying to prove the victim wasn’t on Liberty property when the crime occurred, rather than seeking justice and restitution.

And joining me today is Scott Lamb, the former Vice President of Communications at Liberty University. He’s also the plaintiff in a federal lawsuit.

SCOTT LAMB 00:47It’s my pleasure. After all, you and I know even if the world doesn’t know that we have had lots of communications about these very things that specifically to the title IX for all of 2021.
