Conservative PAC sues Biden administration, targets liberal Catholics

The conservative political action committee CatholicVote is suing President Joe Biden’s administration in an effort to secure records of communication between the US government and Catholic groups in regard to both humanitarian aid at the southern border and recent abortion debates.

Using a pair of lawsuits, both filed on February 4, CatholicVote aims to force the government to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests submitted by the PAC in September.

Tania Tetlow to be first woman president of Fordham University

Tania Tetlow has been unanimously elected the next president of Ford­ham University. Tet­low will be the first woman and the first layperson to lead the 181-year-old Jesuit institution. She replaces Joseph Mc­Shane, who announced his intention to step down from nearly two decades of leadership last fall.

Tetlow joins Fordham from Loyola University New Orleans, where she was also the first woman and layperson to serve as president. She is credited with increasing both enrollment and student retention at Loyola during her four-year tenure.
