Seton Hall College Republicans slam school for denying Delay
By punch bowl | September 27, 2007
A press release sent to CR Nation by Chris Stark, Chairman of the Seton Hall College Republcans as well as Federation Chairman of the New Jersey College Republicans:
Seton Hall University has denied the College Republicans’ program proposal to bring author and former Congressman Tom Delay to campus citing their catholic mission as the sole reason for denial.”
“The actions Seton Hall took against conservatism this week is unconscionable,” Chairman Christopher Stark believes, “just four years ago Seton Hall welcomed with open arms the former Iranian President—a man who began the nuclear weapons program and had documented human rights violations—yet Tom Delay is clearly more controversial and less intellectually in tune with academia for him to appear on campus.”
Seton Hall used the indictments of Congressman Delay to say that as a Catholic Institution they could not allow the school’s name to be associated with such an event.
“First of all, what happened to the very Catholic and the judicially sound principle of presumption of innocence,” Stark wonders, “it is obvious that this University only applies its Catholic Mission when it suits a liberal agenda.”
“Congressman Delay was simply pursued by an overzealous Democratic prosecutor, while President Khatami of Iran, Wesley Clark, Mikhail Gorbachev, Kofi Annan, and numerous other liberals invited to Seton Hall each violated the Catholic Mission of the university in their rhetoric and action.”
To show clearly the bias of this university, take a look at how Monsignor Sheeran, the Seton Hall University President, characterized Iran to the school newspaper.
“We are delighted that President Mohammad Khatami of Iran will be visiting Seton Hall on Friday,” Sheeran said. “He is the president of a great nation, proud in faith, strong in its traditions, with a remarkable history and, with God’s help, a future blessed by much peace and prosperity.”
“So obviously, Tom Delay must not represent a great nation, must not be proud in faith (even though his newest book speaks of his journey in faith), and conservatism must obviously lack strength in traditions and history. So I ask, does the President believe that Iran is truly this shining beacon, or perhaps that they are the shining city upon a hill?”
