Group representing Catholic schools wants U.S. bishops to change policy barring “those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles” from honors, speaking on campus

Mary Lyons, president of the University of San Diego, is chairwoman of the Association’s board of directors. Sister Rosemary Nassif, president of Holy Names University in Oakland, is also a member of the board.
