A Catholic university watchdog group has issued the results of an investigation detailing a staggering number of connections between abortion giant Planned Parenthood and Catholic universities in America.What is unclear is why these universities are permitted to teach as a Catholic university(I'm lookin at you Marquette).
The Cardinal Newman Society stated in its report [PDF]:
The types of relationships between Catholic colleges and universities and Planned Parenthood that this report uncovers are scandalous in that they publicly undermine the Church and her fundamental teachings on the sanctity of life.
The Catholic faithful have a right to expect that those institutions recognized as being Catholic by the Church will uphold Church teachings.
We pray that Catholic colleges and universities will once and for all end the 50 year move toward secularization and embrace their special missions as Catholic institutions, which Pope John Paul II reminded us comes from the heart of the Church—Ex corde Ecclesiae.
Wisconsin colleges on this list:
- The Edgewood College Health Service offers a “sexual health” page that refers students to Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin for “confidential reproductive health and family planning services including pregnancy testing, contraceptive supplies.” The site also refers students to an “emergency contraception” hotline.
- The Counseling Center at Marian University offers links to websites about “Sex” including the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and SmarterSex.org.
- The website of Marquette University Law School includes a “Milwaukee Survival Guide,” which recommends “services” including Planned Parenthood and the National Organization for Women.
- Alverno College congratulated a graduate student for accepting the position of Director of Education at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.
- Cardinal Stritch University helped develop leaders of Latino-serving nonprofit organizations to promote “social change” and improve “the quality of life to the community at large.” The program served a Planned Parenthood employee in 2005 and then two employees of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in 2007.
In addition to the above, Marquette University has two professors on staff who are Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin board members.

That leaves what? St Norbert and Viterbo? Are there any other WI Catholic colleges?
Great question Angie, I'll put together a post. There are more, but none of them qualifies as a Catholic university according to the Newman Society(and I agree).
I only could think of those two additions to your list above but was surprised not to see their names on the aforementioned list, too. I'll watch for that post.
