Woah. Stop right now.

Xavier is not a Jesuit school.

It was founded by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament (St Katherine Drexel's order)

The President of Xavier is not a Jesuit. He is not a Sister of the Blessed Sacrament either.

Here is a list of the Board of Trustees of Xavier:

Mrs. Mary Keller Zervigon (Chair)
Sister Patricia Suchalski, S.B.S. (Vice Chair)
Sister Eileen Sullivan, S.B.S. (In Memoriam)
Mr. Mark Romig (Assistant Secretary)

Sister Doris Blum, S.B.S.
Dr. Dale Mason Cochran
Sister Elizabeth Collins, S.B.S.
James M. Garner, Esq.
Mrs. Carla A. Harris
Sister M. Juliana Haynes, S.B.S.
Monsignor Paul A. Lenz
Mr. Michael Lynton
Sister Amedee Maxwell, S.B.S.
Sister Rita Radloff, S.B.S.
Mr. Michael Rue
Ms. Paula T. Saizan
Mr. Leo P. Sam, Jr.
Mr. David Voelker
Mrs. Janice F. Wilkins

Dr. Norman C. Francis (ex-officio member)

Please note how many Jesuits are on that list.

Please note how many priests are on that list.

Please note how many sisters are on that list.

Please note that the chairman of the board is not a sister nor a priest.

Xavier University is a Black college with a somewhat Catholic background. No more. No less.

Slam the Jesuits all you want when it's right. But they don't have ANYTHING to do with this one.

(The Jesuit school in NOLA is Loyola anyway)

Thank you for clearing up the misconception here. Unfortunately, most of America will believe it to be a Catholic or Jesuit University and that the Catholics, again as they did in extending the Notre Dame invite, are in support of Obama. Sadly, some of them are :(
