Catholic University has reversed a highly publicized decision made last summer to prevent students from organizing a campus chapter of the NAACP. At the time, university leaders ended a meeting with NAACP President Kweisi Mfume on June 19 in a stalemate citing the NAACP’s perceived “support for abortion rights,” and arguing another student organization wasn’t needed on campus.
The reversal was made after an Oct. 5 meeting where Catholic U. students accepted some restrictions – they assured administrators they would not to advocate for abortion rights, or any other positions “contrary to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.”
