EXTRACT 1: NAPLES, Fla. — On a remote 750-acre site near the Everglades, Ave Maria University, the nation's first new Roman Catholic university in four decades, is about to rise from the fields of peppers and tomatoes that stretch to the horizon. The founder of Ave Maria, Tom Monaghan, is better known as the founder of Domino's Pizza. ... Many Catholic educators are uneasy about Ave Maria, irritated that Mr. Monaghan would start his own university rather than support an existing Catholic college and annoyed at his broad criticism of Catholic education. "There has been concern among the colleges and their representatives, that they are so dismissive of the rest of us," said Monika Hellwig, president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. Some critics say Ave Maria reflects Mr. Monaghan's conservative political agenda more than any religious or educational need.  ... Ave Maria's administrators are conservative Catholics: Father Joseph D. Fessio, the chancellor, was at the center of a dispute last year at the University of San Francisco, a Jesuit institution he attacked for policies like hiring openly gay administrators and letting students perform "The Vagina Monologues" during Lent.
