See, if you look at any school on the top 10 list of universities by enrollment in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_public_university_campuses_by_enrollment you notice that the list contains schools you would expect it to, and it does not contain Liberty University. If you go to any of those other schools' wiki pages, in the bar which makes up the right hand side of the top of the page, which summarizes the information about each school, you will notice that when 'students' is listed, it refers to the count of students actively enrolled in on-campus programs. Every large (and just about every small) university tries to accurately report this information because it gives prospective students, parents, and employees a grasp of the scale of the campus and the university life without having to go there.

Liberty University should not be listed as having 50,000+ undergraduates, as the student body is far smaller than this. Writing that there are 50,000+ undergraduates strongly implies that the student body on-campus is 50,000+ when it is not. It says this in the body of the article, but the boxed synopsis of the school is read by search engines. I suspect Liberty does this on purpose to make the university look more prestigious and influential than it is, but I can't find an article citation immediately that references this.
