A long time ago Father Hesburgh and other leaders of catholic education convened in Land o’lakes, Wisconsin to discuss the balance between religion/academics. This resulted in this well known manifesto that many institutions took to heart:

“The Catholic university today must be a university in the full modern sense of the word, with a strong commitment to and concern for academic excellence. To perform its teaching and research function effectively, the Catholic university must have a true autonomy and academic freedom in the face of authority of whatever kind, lay or clerical, external to the academic community itself.”
