The buildings are run down and there seems to be more band-aids than permanent repairs. The student body has significantly changed. I was told the president changed her mission to focus on DC students that would not have a chance to attend college. I agree. However, a large majority of these students enter Trinity on academic probation. There is no longer an emphasis on high academic standards, community service, or the Catholic Church. It is now a place that accepts anyone on a rolling basis. I am ashamed to have attended this college.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-90002584241242330952008-04-16T08:14:00.000-04:002008-04-16T08:14:00.000-04:00Well said!Well said!A WASHINGTONDC CATHOLIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821102789185139045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-26104839538668298352008-04-12T14:35:00.000-04:002008-04-12T14:35:00.000-04:00As a Trinity alumna I can say that things have not...As a Trinity alumna I can say that things have not been right at Trinity since the 60s. I graduated in 1968. While I was there I was fully grounded in situation ethics and moral relativism. I remember a standing-room only "retreat" by Fr. James Kavanagh who wrote the book, A Modern Priest Looks at his Outdated Church. Well, Father left; the Church still stands. He married and didn't keep those vows either. How many did he scandalize at Trinity with the help of the nuns. (Sr. Margaret Claydon was the president at the time.)<BR/> Anyone who wants a Catholic education would be smart to skip over Trinity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
