Marian University in Fond du Lac will be acquired by a Catholic college in Pennsylvania
Marian University, a private Catholic college in Fond du Lac, will be acquired by another private Catholic school based in Pennsylvania.
Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania, anticipates completing its acquisition after a two-year transition process. The deal, announced by the schools Monday, is still subject to additional reviews and approvals from the U.S. Department of Education and the Catholic Church in Rome, according to Alvernia President Glynis Fitzgerald.
Under their agreement, the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes, who owns Marian, would “gift” the university to the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters, who founded Alvernia, said Fitzgerald and Marian President Aaron Sadoff.
