College interim president reflects on term

Mia Marroquin | Saturday, May 30, 2020

After 36 years with Saint Mary’s, Interim President Nancy Nekvasil’s term came to an end Friday.  Nekvasil stepped into the role of interim president following the abrupt resignation of former President Jan Cervelli in October 2018. Nekvasil previously held the roles of Provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs since 2017, before which she worked as

Hard versus soft differentiation policy — what you need to know

Danny McMaster | Tuesday, January 28, 2020

This past fall semester, the administration held a forum to discuss the off-campus differentiation policy for students who decided they don’t like Notre Dame and wanted to live off campus. For starters, this column may seem a little premature. As you may well know, these policies have not been established yet, so there isn’t much point

Opinion: Is Notre Dame renovating new dorms too quickly?

Danny McMaster | Tuesday, November 19, 2019

In my previous columns, I’ve often stated that I am The Observer’s foremost administration correspondent and advocate, and even though it gets edited out every single time I write that, I feel it’s important to start my column today doing that as well.* Really, I should try and find some way to refer to it

Students’ silence is the loudest noise

Maria Luisa Paul | Tuesday, October 8, 2019

DeBartolo Hall’s room 101 is used to host events when organizers expect a big audience. Yet when I flung its heavy doors open, the massiveness of the room overwhelmed me. In a hall built to hold 465 people, only 13 were present. “I must have gotten the wrong room,” I thought as I awkwardly stood

Provost Search Committee holds listening session

Maria Luisa Paul | Thursday, October 3, 2019

Following the announcement that Thomas Burish was stepping down as provost at the end of the academic year, University President Fr. John Jenkins and the search committee elected by the Academic Council held a listening session for undergraduates Wednesday afternoon. The goal of the session was to “inform our thinking about the qualities we should

Some voices. One University approved conversation

Jackie O'Brien | Monday, September 9, 2019

I was surprised by the content of our University’s ad that played Sept. 2 over the half-time break, “Many voices. One conversation.” Of course, it was a great ad and it made me very proud to be a Notre Dame student, especially considering the national audience who saw it, but it’s unfortunate that it is

Possibilities

Letter to the Editor | Sunday, November 22, 2015

Several years ago, I began a Viewpoint letter I never finished, and I am grateful for never having finished it. In the fall of 2012, I took a medical withdrawal from Notre Dame to address my struggles with OCD and anxiety. The withdrawal and readmission process was stressful and disorganized, and, on the whole, left

Why we should see ‘The Hunting Ground’

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, April 17, 2015

It’s Friday in South Bend, the end of another week in a city with five colleges and universities and countless activities for students. There are parties to attend, friends to see, Netflix to watch and perhaps, for the truly ambitious, papers to write and books to read as the semester winds down. But amid the parties

The morality of midterms

Patrick Glennon | Wednesday, March 18, 2015

With the passing of Father Hesburgh, this past midterms week left many students (myself included) physically and emotionally exhausted. Whether we were waiting in line at 2 a.m. for Fr. Ted’s visitation, shivering outside the Basilica while waiting for the funeral procession to begin or studying for three midterms and two quizzes, we were all

Open letter from Fr. Jenkins

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, April 15, 2014

Abraham Lincoln worked tirelessly and ultimately gave his life to preserve a divided union and end the blight of slavery in the United States.  Thus it is most unfortunate that a recent event on campus bearing his name divided our community. I have been asked to condemn the speaker, but I will not do that.
