I have posted about this recently regarding Winthrop University and more than a year ago concerning SNHU. No matter your political beliefs, one should be offended that bias, in any form, is hidden within curriculum.
Not all Christian universities are like Liberty. I think it's disingenuous to say that you know what you're getting into when you enroll at a Christian university. Not all Christian universities teach Young Earth Creationism, and not all Christian universities require students to quote the Bible in secular courses.
At a more mainstream university, you don't really know what your professor's politics are going to be or whether they'll incorporate their politics in their teaching because your professor will have academic freedom. At Liberty, professors are required to teach how Liberty wants them to teach. Some professors take a job with Liberty out of desperation, even though they fundamentally disagree with the school.
In addition to Young Earth Creationism, Liberty's poor reputation comes from the Falwell family's dysfunction and hypocrisy (pool boys, addiction, hidden homosexuality, and racism), being heavily involved in politics at the organizational level, not charging rapists and punishing rape victims, illegally engaging in for-profit activities as a non-profit organization, and firing whistleblowers for reporting Liberty's failure to investigate rape reports.
If we define science as observable, repeatable and provable then Darwinism must be dismissed. Before you mock creation science I invite you to examine the abundance of scientific evidence at http://www.answersingenesis.org and http://www.creationmuseum.org. Scientia Vos Liberabit!
