Government funds always come with strings attached. Always. And those restrictions will most likely manifest themselves in controls over curriculum.

My alma mater got into a scuffle about twenty years ago over federal funding and those strings that come attached; ultimately they lost in a court decision. So they jettisoned everything that even hints at federal funding and counted on private donations and trusts.

Now, the college does as it pleases guided by its own Christian principles and not by federal edicts. As a benefit, they don't have to deal with the paperwork and other nonsense associated with ensuring that the government is happy with their compliance.

And the students get a private Christian liberal arts education at the cost of a public state school.

The English Bishops (and Christian schools here in the US and abroad) would do well to follow suit.

I’m somewhat familiar with GCC. How did you find the school with regard to it’s treatment of Catholicism?
