Manhattan College President Encourages Abstinence on Campus

(9/22/08)  "We have these rules because we are a Catholic College..."

Brother Thomas Scanlan, President of Manhattan College in Riverdale, Ny., is urging students on campus to form a club that promotes and discusses the practice of abstience from sex. Scanlan is asking the College’s resident assistants to help start the group. The Manhattan College student handbook expressly forbids pre-marital sexual intercourse on campus. "We have these rules because we are a Catholic College, but even Harvard and Princeton and other places have clubs that promote virginity," said Scanlan. Source: Quadrangle
