A new Christian faith based housing complex is underway that will provide hundreds of beds for religious students who want to live apart from the social scene. The complex will not be run by The University, but rather by an independent organization.
This peaks my curiosity a bit. Will this be exclusively for Presbyterian students? Non-denominational Christian? All religious students? And how will they work around the rule that all freshman must live on campus unless they are from within a 50 minute commuting radius of Morgantown?

I have the impression it is for all religious Christian students who want to apply, regardless of denomination. Jewish students already have their own exclusive housing option and have had one for years. Makes perfect sense to me that religious Christians have their own place, but you can bet there will be some politically correct nonsense implied from some quarters.
There are all sorts of people, including the very religious. What gives one person happiness does not necessarily appeal to someone else. This is another option, and a valid one, for people whose focus is on the spiritual.
Above all else, I like for the young folks who come to the University to be respectful, good citizens. I think it's tough to argue that those who live in this particular structure, once built, will be better citizens than those who come here to join frats, drive foolishly, and put their studies on the backburner.

I wouldn't say that either. There is absolutely nothing wrong with fraternity life. It has great advantages for polishing the social presentation for a graduate. In fact, I have known several people who have turned that experience and the contacts made by it into highly successful careers. But, fraternity life is not for everyone. Having options available for all sorts of people is one advantage of attending a large, national university.
