CWN Editor's Note: Federal policies tied to student financial aid “have often risen to the level of serious moral violations to the freedom of conscience of our community,” said Philip Brach, vice president of college relations at Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina. Brach cited an EEOC complaint—eventually settled in the college’s favor—that the college did not provide insurance coverage for contraception and abortion.

A good example for all Catholic educational institutions, including K-12, colleges, universities. We would really get somewhere if the USCCB, dioceses, and other Catholic entities would follow Belmont Abbey's example.
