[quote=Anonymous]CUA alum here, and a Catholic.

I'm sad that CUA has gone downhill in some ways. It used to be that there were both conservative Catholics and liberal, social justice Catholics at CUA. Indeed, most of my best friends at Catholic were both very Catholic and liberal leaning. Catholic became pretty hostile to the social justice Catholics, and really radically embraced the conservative side (e.g., not allowing LGBTQ groups).

I get that there are lots of conservative Catholics and I don't begrudge that they're at CUA. But I'm sad that liberal Catholics can't see themselves there anymore. I just think that a reality happens when you cut off maybe half of the folks who might apply (liberal Catholics). You drastically decreased the applicant pool, which means admissions standards decrease. And folks start to not recognize the place they used to love.

I have a lot of good to say about CUA, but the administrations in the last 2 decades have really made the school significantly worse.

And I know a lot of faculty who are unhappy about it.[/quote]
