I still cannot believe that more has not been done for Katie; I can’t believe that the university and diocese continue to ignore and sweep things under the rug. My heart goes out to Katie* and all the victims of Gregory Plow.
I am grateful that the head cross country coach was so receptive to hearing these concerns and acted on those concerns by having Fr Gregory permanently removed as the cross country chaplain. I wish the university dean and president would have that same courage and do what is needed to protect the students on FUS campus, but I won’t hold my breath.
What’s fascinating to me is that I have seen the response of other university’s from my graduate studies and my husbands doctoral studies and when these other universities had past and/or present students come forward with varying allegations against priests or faculty, the educational institutions have not tried to cover things up, they emailed the entire student body and alumni, they owned up to their issues and they put policies in place to prevent the same things from happening to someone else. In short, it seems these other institutions have cared about their students, they listened and acted upon their students concerns, Franciscan has not.
I am truly sorry for Katie* and all of the other victims of ALL of the clergy abuse at FUS. My heart, and my prayers go out to them!! What I just cannot understand is why so many people I know refuse to see what is still happening now, and refuse to acknowledge all of the many degenerate abusers over the years. I was sick seeing pictures of friends dropping their children off for orientation at FUS this past week. There are too many abuses to ignore!!! Thank you, Jenn for using your voice to stand up and speak for those who cannot. You are truly an Angel. 🩷
These reports continue to be astonishing with how far the university has let it go. I’m truly so sorry for Katie and all the other victims.
I do know that Fr. Gregory is no longer cross country chaplain due to the head coach’s concerns about these reports. He had the authority to at least remove Fr. Gregory from that position, and I commend him for that. It was absolutely the right thing to do.
Now I would like to hear from the “higher up’s” at the University and not just see them sweep this under the rug . . . aka Fr. Gregory’s campus reassignment.
