Catholic U. Reverses Decision on NAACP (Chapter Can't Advocate Pro-Choice)

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON -- Catholic University of America reversed course Tuesday to allow an NAACP chapter on campus after students assured school officials they would not advocate issues like abortion rights that run counter to university policy.

Twenty students met last week with CUA president the Rev. David M. O'Connell and persuaded him to ask the student life staff to revisit the issue. The university had denied an application to form the student chapter in April on grounds that other campus groups already met the needs of minority students.

Administrators also opposed what they said was the national NAACP's promotion of abortion rights, which conflicts with Catholic Church policies.

"We said all along we would be willing to revisit this issue when the students came back in the fall," said university spokesman Victor Nakas. "They felt it was important for them to have a civil rights organization on campus."
