Healy said that the matter was brought to the attention of Bishop Frank Dewane of the Diocese of Venice in August, and Bishop Dewane met with him and University Chancellor Tom Monaghan last week "to inform us of what had happened, and to provide guidance as to how to determine if there are other victims........... Not sure why the word "victim" is being used here. Probably habit when reporting Catholic issues. The other party was not a minor and the article uses the term "relationship" which implies a consensual arrangement. The term "victim" would imply some type of harassment or unwanted attention.
Confusing.

No, it's all very clear. You have a person representing authority ~ albeit through a daisy chain reaching up through the university hierarchy ~ and you have a student.
Hanky panky is generally prohibited in these circumstances.

**last year after learning of accusations that she had an inappropriate relationship with a female student in the program, but the group did not report the incident to the university. Nor, according to the university, did superiors at the Home of the Mother follow Vatican-prescribed procedures for reporting such incidents.**
Even though not reported appropriately.....it all caught up with them.
Kudos to Ave Maria University!
