Providence, R.I.–Providence College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ‘80 told a group of business leaders that he continues to strenuously oppose two bills before the Rhode Island General Assembly that would allow the City of Providence to implement a student impact fee and collect taxes on up to 25 percent of large, tax-exempt nonprofits’ assessed property values.
