[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An increasingly progressive Jesuit University has a large Muslim prayer space and inaugurated it’s first woman President this month. She’s already reversed some of the old school rules. Both female and male students are hyped. Students are now allowed to have overnight guests. The previous President is a Jesuit and an amazing person. Also fairly progressive. He retired. Students gave him an incredible send off. They honor him with a meme account on social media.

Most students are not religious, but still visit the University Chapel because it’s beautiful. That being said, “Campus Ministry welcomes students of many different faith traditions as well as students of no faith tradition. We collaborate with students of the many faith-based student clubs, such as the Christian Fellowship, the Jewish Student Organization, the Muslim Student Association, and the Orthodox Christian Fellowship. Without question, one’s faith is a great gift of God that must be respected and nourished. We encourage students to learn more about their own faith tradition by examining its teachings and values in an academic yet very personal way. We work with individuals and student groups to offer Interfaith programming that help students learn from one another about their various traditions. We abide by the principles of religious freedom that protect the rights of individuals to practice their own religion and not to be unduly harassed by members of another religion. In this way, we wish to safeguard the freedom of all our students. We welcome all of our students and hope that the richness of spiritual and religious traditions is a blessing to all of us.”

As far as birth control, this school doesn’t provide condoms! I’m sure this will change soon, although campus is urban with access to everything. Most colleges offer Aetna for health insurance. Not sure if non catholic colleges offer birth control pills or Plan B through the health office. Student government is very active, well supported, and have accomplished quite a lot. [/quote]

It is not progressive to allow others freedom of religion. It’s also NOT PROGRESSIVE to have a women president.

Birth control - yes, plan b no

Here is an example how other schools deal with it… free condoms, tampons, dental dams, EDUCATION , etc.

Then please do not apply to the Catholic colleges which don't give away condoms.  You'll be fine and we'll have less competition.[/quote]
Exactly. DD will skip ND more because of the lack of abortion care in the state. But she can find a CVS and a health provider in Boston just fine. If your DD can’t, then I wouldn’t apply. [/quote]

Great!  My DD really wants ND and she is pro life.  So we are glad you are choosing another school.[/quote]
