Challenges to Two Student Organizations

PRiSM

OUTSIDE CHALLENGES to the legitimacy of the club’s existence.

“How can a club like this exist on a CATHOLIC CAMPUS?”
“There is no place on a Catholic Campus for a group for GLBT persons.”

Fides et Ratio

Existence of such a group felt by some to challenge the Institution’s legitimacy…

“The school must not be doing its job if students feel the need for such a group.”

(Perceived threat to the institutional legitimacy from outside that then created defensive posturing within.)
