Ave Maria University is proud of its Catholic identity and it's serious about protecting
it. President Obama's announcement raised more questions than it answers. The university
will continue to protect its legal interests and its Catholic identity, and we'll be seeking
answers to questions regarding whether our employer-provided health plan is indirectly
or directly subsidizing contraceptive services like sterilization and abortifacient drugs.
I'm hopeful that the Obama administration will provide answers to explain how the new
plan announced will work. In the mean time, the university will do what's necessary to
protect itself. I've heard from many parents of students as well as the students themselves,
and also members of our faculty and staff who support the actions Ave Maria University
is taking and I'm excited as we go forward that we carry very proudly our role in Catholic
higher education.
