The Moral and Ethical Responsibilities of Universities in Response to the Global Realities of Migrants and Refugees

On November 16, Archbishop Bernardito Auza, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the UN, gave an address at Manhattan College on “The Moral and Ethical Responsibilities of Universities in Response to the Global Realities of Migrants and Refugees.” It was the keynote address for the Conference on Global Initiatives in Refugee and Migrant Education sponsored by the Refugee and Migrant Education Network, Manhattan College, the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, the Center for Interreligious Understanding and the organization Being the Blessing.

In his address, Archbishop Auza developed the thoughts of Pope Francis in a 4 November 2017 speech to the International Federation of Catholic Universities in which the Holy Father emphasized that Catholic Universities have a particular responsibility to educate in order to serve and called on them to help alleviate the situation of migrants and refugees through research, education and social promotion.
