The following comes from a Sept. 20 story posted by the Cardinal Newman Society.
The University of San Francisco is scandalously suggesting to students that being a director at a Planned Parenthood clinic is a future job possibility.
The Jesuit institution’s School of Nursing and Health Professions website lists under the banner Careers in Public Health,“Director for Planned Parenthood.” The site promotes USF’s Master’s in Public Health Nursing degree with suggestions of future job possibilities.
Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report says that its clinics performed 333,964 abortions in 2011, according to CNS News.
Additionally, postings for problematic internships have appeared on the University’s website. Last year, the University posted a listing for an internship for The Alliance for Girls, a coalition that includes Planned Parenthood as well as other organizations.
Sources also sent screenshots of the USF website to The Cardinal Newman Society, which show the University listing Planned Parenthood under their “Fieldwork Placements” for summer 2013. But currently, those listings have been removed.

This “Jesuit University” ceased being Catholic years ago. No big surprise here, sorry to say!
Anton,
The real surprise is why has this cesspool of a “Catholic” University still been allowed to call itself Catholic?
May God have mercy on an amoral America!
Viva Cristo Rey!
God bless, yours in Their Hearts,

Lord have mercy. The most dangerous people are those who have little to no morals. Especially when they disguise themselves in what is suppose to be a faith based organization.
This news is truly troubling. Our youth who are mislead by all this makes my skin shake. I pray that God will spare many from these deceiving ideas. May our Lord empower His people so that we can expose the lies and spread the truth so we can shut down these types of Universities.
The official rules for Catholic women’s dress says that the neckline should not be lower than two fingers below the neckline, so this “Catholic” Universities Website features a woman with a neckline way below two fingers!
May God have mercy on an amoral America!
Viva Cristo Rey!

You’re right, that organizations disguised as Catholic are the most dangerous. That’s why they take over positions of power in those organizations and work to change its basic Catholic character, while enjoying the prestige of the name Catholic. They are an anathema.
As I have mentioned before, my husband and I, both USF alums, no longer donate to USF. Our favorite colleges to donate to now: Thomas Aquinas and Wyoming Catholic. How about it, fellow USF grads…Why not switch your donations?
It appears that USF removed the damning verbiage from their web-site. What did they learn from the notoriety: to be more careful next time!
LMU, USF, Georgetown (and don’t forget their high schools, too), etc. Is it just most of the Jesuit schools in the U.S. or is it the Jesuits world-wide that ignore basic Catholicism and seem more like the Church of England?
You know, this is really infuriating, Obviously, the directors of the Nursing School at USF don’t care a fig whether USF represents itself as Catholic or not. Are they so intellectually obtuse they don’t know PP is a virulently anti-Catholic organization? And where is the Jesuit Provincial, and the University President in all this? Do they care? Do they approve?
These Judas-like betrayals of the Catholic tradition in education, especially by Jesuit unuversities, really need to be stomped on. If the Ordinary can’t or won’t, then by Rome.
And no, we’re not going to hold our breath.
BeaZeau,
In the case of these “Catholic” Jesuit Universities, holding your breath would be a mortal sin of suicide!
May God have mercy on an amoral America!

The University of San Francisco is obviously another Fake Catholic University!
I’m a USF alum, and this is the reason why I do not donate to my alma mater.
It certainly has a modernist element in it… if you want to become an ecumenical modernist, who delight’s in marching in gay pride parades, it may be just the university for you…NOT!
To Roberta Genini – we agree with you about Thomas Aquinas College. It is a wonderful Catholic school of higher learning. When Fr. Buckley, S.J. was shown
the door at USF, he went to Thomas Aquinas College where he was held in
high esteem. He retired this year. Each year, TAC brings several bus loads of
students to the WALK for LIFE. Students from the non Catholic University, USF
are not present. If Archbishop Cordioleone cannot do anything about the scandalous USF, perhaps Rome can. It is time to remove their so called Catholic identity from them. As alums of USF, we are ashamed of what they have become.
After all the work we’ve done FIGHTING Planned Parenthood because of the many abortions it does, I cannot, my the life of me, grasp why in the WORLD any Catholic college would suggest that people work for PP.
Talk about giving mixed messages.
Amy: You ask why can’t Archbishop Cordileone do something about USF. I believe the answer is quite simple: The Jesuits are practically removed from the jurisdiction of the local diocese. As long as the Jesuit Order is immune from censure nothing significant will happen. Georgetown is being sued by some of its more prominent alumni to remove the label Catholic from its masthead. I expect to be in the grave before any action is ever taken against ANY Jesuit school. Their joyful endorsement of the gay lifestyle alone should suffice to deny them the use of the label, yet nothing is being done. Both of my sons attended Jesuit Universities as did my grandsons. Thankfully they came out relatively unscathed. As a Georgetown man myself I am most distressed by the collapse of true and genuine Catholic culture at those institutions.
The “Careers in Public Health” page that is linked in the article does not list “Director of Planned Parenthood” as a future job possibility as the article states that it does. Perhaps it has been removed, although it would seem to be inconsistent with the way the page is written. It does list Senior Advisor for Reproductive Health Program, which could include things contrary to Catholic teaching but could also be done in conformity to Catholic moral standards.
