How Franciscan University of Steubenville Is Helping Students in Wake of COVID-19 Pandemic

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

Franciscan University of Steubenville recently announced a new way it will help students: covering tuition costs for the fall 2020 semester for all incoming full-time undergraduate students enrolled in its on-campus programs.

Father Dave Pivonka, president of Franciscan University of Steubenville, joins the podcast to talk about how and why Franciscan University chose to do this during the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus he discusses what he thinks of Generation Z, and how to keep hope in these times.

We also cover these stories:

  • Attorney General William Bar said he does not anticipate a criminal investigation into President Barack Obama or Vice President Joe Biden in regards to a Justice Department probe, but says the investigation is looking at others.
  • Barr also said there are “significant ties” between al-Qaeda and the shooter, Mohammed Alshamrani, who last December killed three U.S. sailors and injured eight others at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.
  • Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio has concerns about whether the Judicial Conference’s Committee should determine if federal judges can be part of the conservative Federalist Society or liberal American Constitution Society.
