MGB:_In my comments on Monday, I said to fire the bishops, make the local Archbishop the titular head and empower the regents. The bishops do have a role in bringing back parish schools as something other than elite institutions for rich, pro-life, Republican Catholic families, both for Latinos and non-Latinos, but not much more.
CUA, with many universities, will face the question of who pays for college and why. Unless you like abortion, it has to be the companies hiring the students, probably after two years of community college combined with the last two of high school, but then paying the students to attend college. The question then becomes, what employers does CUA wish to associate with? It may well be the Koch brothers or Wall Street, but I would hope not. Maybe some law firms, the federal government and Theological College, as well as social work providers. It need not have a Catholic bias, but it should look like it might.
Of course, if we wish to expand the University to include more Latinos, it would associate with employers who wish to hire and do business with them and maybe offer a Latino studies and history major or minor.
Flores would only be Regent if he also became our Archbishop. Interesting idea if we send Wuerl to head CDF.
