Very sad. And obviously deliberate. Maybe Obama will re-open it as a Muslim college, fully funded by tax dollars.
My buddy made the right choice last year by NOT taking a position there.
Part of this obviously was the unwise investments in expansion of facilities. There has been a downturn in enrollments, finally, and they were caught by that. The Fed problems seem to have been just the last straw.
Fortunately perhaps for the students it hasnt much of a reputation so there is little lost through a transfer to a state college or similar level private college.
“Although government officials said their decision was made in error and promised to reimburse SOME of the money,”
Curious to know if barky has done likewise to other small Catholic Colleges.
"Three months ago, St. Catharine filed a lawsuit against the department for withholding more than $1 million in federal [emphasis added] loans and grants as a condition of heightened cash monitoring ..."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
As mentioned in related threads, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified in broad terms that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, taxing and spending for intrastate schools in this example not among those powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So the funding that the corrupt feds withheld from the referenced school is arguably local and state revenues that the corrupt feds had stolen from the state by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, they also need to elect a brand new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again, but also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and federal interference in state affairs.
St. Catherine College shouldn’t be closing its doors because of an unconstitutional middleman.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
No enrollment? Welcomd to the end of the big education bubble. 0bama’s fault....
Sounds like someone needed to be monitoring their cash following a spending spree.
If you take taxpayer money, you should expect to be held accountable for your spending.
Federal monies always has strings attached. It’s like borrowing from the mob.
Truly sad. But remember that the truth is always victorious.
Their are 3 problems here: Title 9, Title 9, and Title 9. The sooner small faith based or conservatively centric Colleges divorce themselves from this boat anchor the better....
