All faculty members of Ave Maria University who teach theology will be required to obtain a mandatum, in compliance with John Paul II’s 1990 apostolic constitution «Ex Corde Ecclesiae» on Catholic universities, the Washington Post reported today.
Monaghan said he spent about $80 million to start an undergraduate college in 1998 at a temporary site in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and to found Ave Maria Law School in nearby Ann Arbor in 1999. The new school hopes to receive students next fall.
