Counterpoint: a board of directors wanting to protect against mission drift might want to have an officer/subcommittee of the board or executive staff nember reporting to them on just that subject. It isn't the best strategy for protecting the mission, IMHO, but it is *a* strategy.
But I agree that I've never had the strong impression Seton Hall was a place you'd go looking for faithful Catholic education.
When I read this, I wondered whether the people who appointed Fr. Reilly president knew, i.e., did they know of the report that described him as not properly handling abuse cases at the seminary? Or might the people who knew of the seminary problems, and the people who tapped him for university president, have been two different groups?
The Politico story appears to rule out this possibility.
Went to graduate school here in the 2010s. The Dean of my department was escorted off campus because of an incident with a student. It was an open secret that something had happened, and he was fired, but there was absolutely no transparency about it.
It's not great to read a short article and have one's jaw drop multiple times during said reading, and sometimes be accompanied by wild gesticulating. Well, maybe it is good. Because that means this ridiculousness is being brought out into the light where hopefully, HOPEFULLY there might be some accountability and, dare we hope, change. Thank you to The Pillar, again, for writing the stuff that makes our jaws drop but which needs to be made public for the people to take note. Lord, help us.
But thanks to the Pillar for informing those of us who gave up on the secular media's inability to understand all things Catholic except abuse and stopped reading them long ago.
Again and again! Onetime is too many. I will state it again the business aspect of the church needs reformation. The sinful mafia of our church leadership has to be expunged. The wolves in sheep clothing is being protected by wolves themselves. Too many people are being traumatically hurt. The church answer COVERUP!! It’s time for the Laity to act with the only tool afforded them The Almighty Dollar! We need to pray and know by how our monetary gifts are used . Stop financing Seton Hall and all the churches that these wolves are infiltrating!
Yes financial collapse is the outcome. Jesus allowed the temple ,the pride of theJerusalem to be destroyed. Penance for sins is
Sounds like a nest of vipers all the way down. Don't send your kids to Seton Hall, folks!
Can’t remember ever hearing of anyone ever going to Seton Hall because it ever had any semblance of Catholic identity.
Like The Pillar's recent article on Australian Catholic University.

If you need an individual or (God help us) a committee to advise you on your college's "identity".... then you are definitely not Catholic.

It would seem that the archbishop of Newark would have oversight over both groups, no?
I went for mass at Seton Hall's chapel last year because they had one of the few Sunday evening masses in New Jersey. Sad to hear of this

Note, though, that—as in 2002—the secular media is leading the way.
