Saving the Catholic University of America: The cardinals need to talk

MGB:_CUA’s problem is its connection to the bishops. It needs an independent board of regents to run it. The only bishop who needs to be involved is the local Archbishop. The conservative dysfunction of CUA is an outgrowth of the conservatism of the loudest mouths in the USCCB and the divided nature of the conference, which prevent real progress. What is the way forward? The alumni need to approach just one Cardinal, Wuerl, and demand he take the place over and let it be run like a real Catholic university, mostly independent of clergy. Use Loras College as an example, which used to be linked to CUA, but severed its connection long ago.
