Barry University President

One of the top golf programs in the country is no longer allowed to practice at the Trump Doral golf course because administrators deemed Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric to be inconsistent with Barry University's values.
Late last year, Barry University President Sister Linda Bevilacqua, in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Administration, determined that Trump's campaign rhetoric conflicts with the university's mission, triggering an automatic severing of relations with all businesses and organizations in which he holds a senior leadership position.

Neither the Trump campaign nor the Trump Organization seem to have taken notice of Barry’s boycott, but members of the school's golf team certainly have. According to several individuals affiliated with the university who spoke with Campus Reform on condition of anonymity, the men's golf team—which won national championships in 2007, 2013, and 2014—had previously been allowed to practice, free of charge, at the high-quality Trump Doral course three to four times per year, but now must resort to daily-fee courses, putting stress on the team's budget.

Typical Liberal BS.Punish the group because the leaders values are skewed.
I wonder how hard it would be to investigate other relationships the University has to see if they all agree with the mission.
A picture that says a thousand words.
The University and the golf team pay the price for her personal ideology.
I’m really not a Trump fan, but all this Fascism from the Left is showing the world how much the LW hates others
Capitalism is inherently evil! So these snowflakes should refuse to do business with any capitalist enterprises.
Maybe they can get their brethren in Venezuela and Cuba to send them food and toilet paper.
This could be tough, because I think Barry University is where they train most of the caddies.... ;-)
Unbelievable. It’s only going to get worse until people put a stop to this nonsense.
Tail wagging the dog here.
Perhaps the golfers should take their talents elsewhere.
Idiot woman. Probably a liberal democrat lesbian.
Barry University: Bigots.
Good, I hope they lose
Yeah, I’m sure Trump is crushed over this.
WTH is a “barry university?”
Self proclaimed social justice warriors. They get to scrub toilets in the new world order.
Right... let's eff up the budget to make some vague political point.

I used to think it was a liberal trait but sadly it is a human trait. I see Alinsky in Trump and some of his supporters, the ones threatening and harassing women for example, and the CO delegates receiving death threats.
Trump cut them off, the university picks up the tab. That is the way of the world. Not exactly like students who should be grown having panic attacks because Trump is written on the sidewalk and insisting on safe spaces - that is way over the top, will they ever get a clue?
Sister Linda has been guiding the transformation of Barry University into an urban, comprehensive, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic university of under 9,000 students enrolled in one of two colleges and seven schools.
