The Catholic University of America has come under
fire and may even face legal action for denying a student's application

Kweisi Mfume denounced the decision as "blatant discrimination,"
"intolerance," and "prejudice" at a rally near CUA's campus in
Northeast Washington, D.C., the university stated that it had denied
