Dr. Mary Meehan, interim president of Seton Hall University, has issued a strongly-worded letter to the campus community following numerous reports of students harassing seminarians on campus.
"Recently my office has been informed of several instances of foul language and incivility being aimed at members of our Immaculate Conception Seminary,” wrote Meehan in an email sent to the university community on Oct. 15.
This behavior is “unacceptable,” she said, and “cannot be tolerated.”
The university is home to Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology, which currently has about 100 students, including laypeople. Seminary students live together in a separate dormitory, and some of the campus’ 45 priests in residence live in student residence halls.
