Georgetown University has responded to the canon law petition submitted
last week to Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.'s Cardinal Donald Wuerl by
William Peter Blatty, author of "The Exorcist," calling for the
University to comply with canon law or be stripped of its right to
describe itself as a Catholic institution.
"Our Catholic and Jesuit identity on campus has never been stronger," Rachel Pugh, director of communications told the student newspaper The Hoya.
"Academically, we remain committed to the Catholic intellectual
tradition. We are proud of the countless ways that our students put
their faith into action through service and justice programs."

There are a number of colleges and universities that identify themselves as Catholic that have fallen far short of the Catholic tradition in matters of faith and morals. I include in this several universities that are affiliated with the Jesuits and my own alma mater a diocesan university the University of St. Thomas (St Paul MN). What a shame.
Georgetown is being challenged in not only in the court of public opinion, but in the court of the Church. Unfortunately Georgetown sent out a little girl to do a mans job.
The more I've read over the past year, the more I believe that Sandra Fluck was a student representative of Georgetown rather than an unusual activist.
This is just public relations (aka propaganda) for the undiscerning. Her statement has no bearing on what what will happen regarding the Canon Law petition.
