Ave Maria University is the first new Catholic University founded in the United States in 50 years.[1] Ave Maria University is located northeast of Naples, Florida. In spring 2007 it graduated 74 students.

This project has generated controversy because an entirely new conservative Catholic community is being developed around the school, almost like a utopia. The ACLU has already criticized efforts to restrict what may be sold in this new town.[2] In response the founder of the school, Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, denied that there would be restrictions on goods and cable shows available in the town.[3]
