Clearly, the reason for this is because the church has allowed Catholic institutions to stray into heterodoxy and outright heresy.
Seriously, a Catholic university teaching atheistic philosophies as an equal to, or even superior to, Catholic beliefs, or teaching Islam as fundamentally equal to Catholicism, or advocating anti-Catholic “reforms” to the church that would destroy it, is just madness, and intolerable.
So the church must regain control, and purge these schools of those who despise the church, who openly act to corrupt and turn students away from their faith, and to ruin them with evil behavior, immorality and perversity.
“Academic freedom” and “equality” are an open invitation to corruption and an attack on the future generations of the church. And these students are offered no safe haven, protection or defense against these villains. They are in effect forced to reject their faith for academic credentials.

These particular 'catholic' institutions haven't been, since July 23, 1967, to be precise --- the "Land 'o' Lakes Conference," --- when they pledged to overturn the control of the Vatican, the hierarchy, and the religious orders, to forge their own destiny on the basis of their own best perceptions of how to serve God and Mammon the new spirit of intellectual/spiritual liberty.
An anti-Rome revolt.
A full-sale wrecking and splitting.
It's perfectly true they didn't know much about the Reformation. That's probably why they were bound to repeat it.
