Hallelujah! I'd like to imagine that they thought about it and realized that their decision just didn't make sense and guidance from their bishop influenced them, but I also imagine that some large donors pulled their support and they had to recind or lose money. Sorry to be so jaded.

To me that doesn't seem jaded, but just realistic. Influential wealthy donors who are faithful to Catholic teaching are probably the only thing that keep most of the remaining true Catholic colleges/universities, "Catholic" these days.

I expect many parents would be less than enthusiastic about their daughters sharing quarters with a man who checked the “female identity” box. Enough scandals have come to light to show a selection bias on which transwomen adamantly invade women’s spaces

p.s. when my daughter was a Berkeley, she was comfortable with explicitly co-ed quarters but eschewed the non-binary bathroom, even when it meant going to a different floor. Like I said, selection bias.
