The move drew some criticism the Xavier University faculty committee, which questioned whether the university president’s decision violated the principle of shared governance with the faculty. It also asked whether he has the right to make changes to health coverage plan in the middle of the year. “We would like to see if insurance law permits an employer to change benefits after six months that employees are expecting for the entire year,” the committee said in an April 2 letter.

Xavier blew it by A: Offering contraception in the first place and B: Making this change in the middle of the benefits year.

Xavier blew it by A: Offering contraception in the first place and B: Making this change in the middle of the benefits year.

True.
It's a no-win for them.

A. They know that now and SOMEONE is going to be fired, transferred or excommunicated. No, not really, but there WILL be some homework done as to why that got offered in the first place. That is my guess.

B. If they hadn't stopped it IMMEDIATELY they would have been n criticized for waiting "too long."
If they waited longer they would have been criticized for stalling.

I think they know that they are going to take big hits for this, deservedly so, but they are NOW finally doing the right thing. Better late...

I always wondered why Jesus CHOSE Judas Iscariot as an Apostle knowing that Judas would be the Betrayer of all time. I opine that Jesus was giving us a TEMPLATE of men of the cloth. Their human frailties are just like everyone else's. We hold Catholic priests to a MUCH higher standand than any other man of the cloth, I think.
The same holds true, I think, for Catholic schools, ESPECIALLY universities.
I don't have ANY experience of women of the cloth so I can't even make an UNeducated guess about our general attitude towards them.
