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

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 :(

From their website:

The ultimate purpose of the University is to contribute to the promotion of a more just and humane society by preparing its students to assume roles of leadership and service in a global society.

Truly leftist. If I read more of the info, I would, no doubt, find “social justice” cited as well.

St. Francis Xavier was a Jesuit so people naturally assume that a university with the name Xavier has some connection to the Jesuit order. I guess Xavier University of Louisiana’s connection to the Jesuits is about as close as the San Diego Padres baseball club is to the Franciscan order. (They do have a mascot who wears a Franciscan habit, or an approximation of one.)
