The University of Holy Cross (UOHC) is a liberal arts college in New Orleans, Louisiana.

History

UOHC was founded in 1916 as a two-year women's normal school by the Marianites of Holy Cross. Its original location was in the Bywater area of New Orleans.[3] It became a 4-year institution in 1938. In 1947, a {{convert|40|acre|ha|sing=on}} parcel of land in Algiers was donated to the Marianites. The college completed a move across the river to this new site in 1960. Its area was later reduced by a sale. Men were first admitted in 1967.

In August 2011, the Marianites dismissed the college's president and all 19 of its trustees without warning.[4] The move prompted an investigation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges, the college's regional accreditor.[5] Following the investigation, SACS placed the college on probation for six months.[6]

In January 2016, the institution, formerly Our Lady of Holy Cross College, was renamed the University of Holy Cross.

Campus

UHCNO is on a {{convert|16|acre|m2|sing=on}} campus in a middle-class residential neighborhood of the Algiers area of New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River. It is built primarily in the Southern Colonial style.

Academics

There are more than 50 undergraduate and graduate programs.[7][8]

Controversies

In 2018 the US Department of Education opened an investigation of University of Holy Cross in response to a whistleblower complaint that alleged multiple violations of the Clery Act spanning several years. This investigation corroborated those allegations and resulted in additional enforcement action by the Department of Education. [9]

Also in 2018, University of Holy Cross was charged with multiple violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 pertaining to employment discrimination and unlawful retaliation. That case is ongoing, and the university is currently under investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.[10]

In February, 2019, Gerald Keenan, the director of the university's physician assistant program, was arrested on allegations of serial child molestation. Media attention surrounding his arrest led to the discovery that Keenan does not appear to be licensed as a physician assistant in Louisiana.[11]
