The U.S. Department of Education’s historic fine against Grand Canyon University (GCU), a Christian college in Phoenix, Arizona, has been dropped, according to the institution.

Brian Mueller, president of GCU, told CBN News Tuesday he believes the government was unfairly targeting his school and heralded the dismissal of the massive $37.7 million fine as a victory.

The Department of Education confirmed the decision to CBN News. A spokesperson pledged not to “persecute and prosecute colleges and universities based on their religious affiliation” and accused the previous administration of doing so.
