CHOOSE YOUR RELIGIOUS GOALS WISELY: Boston College faculty warn Koch Foundation funding could compromise ‘Catholic mission.’

Faculty for Justice met Oct. 18 to discuss that vote. One of its members, sociology professor Juliet Schor, told the newspaper that Koch funding is about “transforming” colleges “to conform to their mission”:

“If a donor is giving to what we already do or what faculty are already doing, it’s easier to determine [whether to accept] that,” Schor said. “When you have something new then you have to look at the content from it. My point about the Kochs is that they’ve made their mission very clear over many decades [and] they have a strong set of beliefs which I think are very much at odds with a Jesuit Catholic mission.”

Schor specifically referenced Koch’s lobbying against environmental regulations and support for climate change denial in her opposition to the funding.

And now we know that the religion of radical environmentalism has already trumped (pun not intended, honest) Boston’s “Catholic mission.” (I wonder what they think of some of the Kochs’ other supported positions?)
