Milligan College is a Christian Liberal arts College founded in 1866 and located immediately outside of Elizabethton in Carter County Tennessee A key to the founding was that Westover Hotel, a failed resort, was available for sale. When Hopwood agreed to serve, they purchased the resort for $13,500, resulting in Lynchburg's current campus.

The College has maintained its original commitment to a liberal arts education. The term liberal arts refers to a particular type of educational Curriculum broadly defined as a Classical education.

The court ruled against his extension request, and not on the merit of his tenure-denial claim. [3]
