soft?

Back a million years ago (1964) during my first week (orientation) at Villanova, we were told: "If you get your name in the newspaper in an unflattering way, then pack your bags and go. You don't need to wait around for us to come tell you that you're expelled."

Has Villanova, like the Catholic Church, gone soft? Are faculty-led "classroom discussions" the way to deal with a group of white male bullies who knock a fellow female black student to the ground while chanting "Trump! Trump!"? Or, is the old-fashioned way--tell the bullies to go, and let the police investigation and criminal prosecution process take its course--better? 

When priests sexually abusing children, and bishops covering it up, became public, the Catholic Church began a sexual abuse "education" program (Virtus) for those working with children and the elderly. Meanwhile, the problem of priests abusing children and bishops covering it up has not been completely eradicated. Had abusive priests and clueless bishops been expelled from the Church, and reported to the proper government authorities instead, would the problem still persist? I think not.

I hope that Villanova does the right thing. I've lost hope that the Catholic Church will.
