Keith Kozak was a campus minister at Cleveland State University.

Catholics have alot of titles, but ministers are lay people and can be fired. Deacons, monks, priests, Pastors, monsignors, bishops, nuns, mother superiors, cardinals, are not fired. Certainly not for something like this. A deacon might find himself ultimately separated, but not by this process. Truth be known, all those people would know better in the first place. Discipline and obedience is taught VERY early in the process.
