what would Hesburgh do?
ND doesn’t want to cross the Trump administration and end up getting attacked like so many of its peers. So far they’ve been successful and even managed to avoid the Pentagon grad school blacklist. What Dowd released is the bare minimum of what he should be saying. Is this the preeminent Catholic university in the world or not? Where is the leadership and the activism? Other Catholic voices are stepping up — where is Notre Dame?
