One of the opponents of the project, Sara Pilling, a longtime resident who lives a couple of blocks from the university, said she understands the township is constrained by the law.

The controversy arose when some Radnor residents called it an audacious show of religion that has no place in a township of many faiths.
“I think they are overstepping their sense of ecumenism to shove these crosses in our faces," Pilling said in an interview before the meeting.
