dimissing monk’s accomplishments as nothing more than raising our usnews rankings is doing a disservice to him. this school attracts some of the brightest high school students from all over the world now. and here is a question, if notre dame was not the great academic institution it is today, how many students that currently attend this school would actually be here today? would you? considering the academic strength of our student body, i doubt they would choose to attend just a “football” school, if it still was.



Monk folded on “academic freedom” issues like the Queer Film Festival and the Vagina Monologues, which do not belong at any university which is truly Catholic.

i know this can open up a whole lot dialogue of controversy, which i don’t want to delve into, but just look at the Land o’ Lakes statement. it wasn’t Monk, but Hesburgh who pointed nd into this direction of “academic freedom.” disclaimer–this is only my opinion as well.

irish- i would argue we already are an elite university, and that it is part of who/what notre dame is right now.
