A lot of lefty small colleges are like that. Gonzaga is one. It’s in the middle of nowhere. I transferred from WSU and Pullman is laughingly called a hick town. It’s not as I spent 3 horrible sems there. The only cool part is that outside the city limits, everyone has a gun.
“Gonzaga”
Some Catholics don’t know how left most Catholic campuses are now. Liberalism, political correctness, Wokeism … this is THE FAITH being taught. Graduated from a Catholic college in Kentucky in 89. And it was a 50-50 situation even in conservative Kentucky at that point. Now it’s like 80-20. Election Day 88, more visible signs of support for Pro-Abortion liberal Dukakis than Pro-Life Bush on my campus. Remember a priest once mocking Reagan in class.
The majority of Catholic universities and colleges are now fulfilling this Scripture: “they make a pretense of religion while denying its real power” -2 Tm 3:5
They try to stay “Catholic” enough to keep the money flowing in from big donors, alumni/alumnae.
