I posted this in another thread several weeks ago:

Regarding Notre Dame, I think there’s more ignorance concerning it WITHIN academia, and though this sounds like a superficial take, I truly think it’s fair to say that many academics simply can’t reconcile scientific research and the more humanistic pursuits with a religious mission. I think that, in general, the peer assessment in US News’s rankings is the most questionable datum employed, and that Notre Dame, in particular, suffers in this area.
