Cites ”scheduling conflict”…
From Lifesite:
LifeSiteNews.com reported last week that Catholic University of America’s (CUA) newspaper ‘The Tower’ had revealed that the College Democrats at CUA had received the necessary permission from the administration and subsequently invited pro-abortion Senator Kerry to lecture at the University.
In its current issue released just today, The Tower newspaper is now reporting that according to both the Senator’s congressional office and the College Democrats, “Sen. John Kerry will not speak at the University this semester due to scheduling conflicts[…]
Mark Arnone, president of the College Democrats at CUA, had initially been forbidden by officials at the University Center, Student Programs and Events (UCSPE) to invite the pro-abortion senator to lecture. However, after appealing the decision with a six page explanation on the reasons why Kerry should be allowed, Arnone received permission from UCSPE director Bill Jonas.
According to The Tower, Jonas stated that he had been trying to employ a “common sense approach” in his decision but acknowledged that “[s]ome people are going to see that John Kerry is speaking at Catholic University and be angry about it. We have to find a balance.”
