DOJ Task Force Releases Report on Anti-Christian Bias The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias has released its 2026 report. President Trump established the task force in February 2025 to review anti-Christian conduct in the federal government and recommend next steps to protect religious liberty. The report highlights specific anti-Christian actions the Biden administration took, including targeting Christian colleges. For instance, the Education Department under Biden targeted Grand Canyon University and claimed that the university misled doctoral students about the cost to complete doctoral programs. Although other federal, state, and private entities disagreed with that claim, the Education Department fined Grand Canyon $37.7 million. Former Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona promised to shut down Grand Canyon University.

The Department also targeted Liberty University for violations of the Clery Act. Although Liberty recognized previous violations, it disagreed with the Biden administration’s “unfair treatment.” The Department combed through over seven years of history and used different methodologies than it used when investigating Clery Act violations at other colleges. Liberty ultimately settled with the Department for $14 million and promised to spend another $2 million on campus security.

The Trump administration has rescinded Grand Canyon’s fine and “committed to no longer disproportionately targeting Christian colleges and universities and to affirming the rights of Christian colleges and universities to act in accordance with their faith-based identity.” Those wishing to read the full report may do so here.
