Just to clarify-this is NOT Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts. That’s a Jesuit school. Most people, when they hear ‘Holy Cross College’, think of this one, especially in a sports context (they’re pretty good in football and basketball )

This one is in New Orleans, Louisiana, and run by the Marianite Sisters.

Who had the power to dismiss the president and the board?

Darn. CotHC makes Notre Dame look like Ave Maria.

What is this supposed to mean?

It is very strange when even the board and pres don’t seem to know why they are being dismissed. No explanations from either side. The answer will tell in whom they appoint for the new positions…is it politics, money, academics, mgmt philosophy, etc…?

Read the article. The Order of Sisters who OWN the place, that’s who.
