Marquette University is a private Jesuit research university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Established by the Society of Jesus as Marquette College on August 28, 1881, it was founded by John Martin Henni, the first Bishop of the diocese of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] Marquette is one of the largest Jesuit universities in the United States, and the largest private university in Wisconsin.
Sexual abuse
In 2018, the Roman Catholic Jesuit province serving much of the eastern United States released the names of Jesuit priests who face "credible or established" accusations of sexual abuse of minors dating to 1950. The list includes three who worked at Marquette University High School, one at Marquette University and four others at another Jesuit school in southwestern Wisconsin.[2]
