“False headline. Fordham is a private, independent research university, not governed by the Archdiocese of New York or the Society of Jesus for almost 50 years. Though they still have some Jesuit, um, residue, they have been governed by an independent lay board since 1969.”
From the Fordham University website:
We’re a Jesuit, Catholic university. Our spirit comes from the nearly 500-year history of the Jesuits. It’s the spirit of full-hearted engagement—with profound ideas, with communities around the world, with injustice, with beauty, with the entirety of the human experience.
