The Trouble With Jesuits

The Knights of Columbus have been been banished (not recognized) from campus, and the Vice President of Student Life explains:

“The Knights of Columbus, by their very nature, is a men’s organization in which only Catholics may participate via membership,” says a letter obtained by The Cardinal Newman Society written by Sue Weitz, Vice President for Student Life. “These criteria are inconsistent with the policy and practice of student organization recognition at Gonzaga University, as well as the University’s commitment to non-discrimination based on certain characteristics, one of which is religion.”

Yes, you read that right. A JESUIT university, named after a Catholic saint ( Aloysius Gonzaga) has banned the Knights because they exclude non-catholics and women. 

Update...the decision is under review. Read more here.
