In light of our recent discussions on  Catholic identity and college campuses, I thought there might be some interest in this piece, reported on in the Chronicle of Higher Education, by Francesco Cesareo, the new president of Assumption College and a former colleague of mine.

Among other things, Cesareo says that Catholic colleges cannot permit the existence of a pro-choice group or speaker on campus . . .  Maybe its just me, but its hard to see how you actually have a college or university if pro-choice speakers are not allowed on campus.

The entire article, "Can a Catholic College Exist Today,?" can be found here.

Paul Lauritzen is emeritus professor of theology and religious studies at John Carroll University.
