A moment to see the poor at Notre Dame

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, April 15, 2021

Pope Francis tells us that it is the “moment to see the poor.” What does the Pope’s injunction mean for Notre Dame, especially now as Provost Marie Lynn Miranda has launched an important university initiative Moment to See, Courage to Act? Notre Dame has a long and enviable record of community service. Whether working for

The world we have made

Trevor Lwere | Monday, April 12, 2021

The world is not unfair. We have made it so. The world is not a jungle. We have made it so. We have certain assumptions about the world and made a certain world on that basis. Darwin’s theory of evolution suggests that competition is the primary adaptive strategy for species in nature. That is, nature

Street angel

Gabriel Niforatos | Monday, February 25, 2019

The “Notre Dame bubble” is a theme and topic that sometimes seems to be overshadowed by more “local” occurrences on campus. I have taken a number of courses, in topics ranging from theology to policy, that seek to address how Notre Dame is an island in South Bend. But this narrative often seems like it

Daniel Graff | Monday, September 17, 2018

Increasing inequality is a pressing problem requiring serious research and vigorous debate as we strive for policies that improve people’s opportunities and outcomes.

Education inequality

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, September 12, 2018

I wouldn’t be writing this today if I allowed myself to become cynical. There are basic principles that all Americans agree on. But we’ve abandoned them in the name of partisan bickering — look at what we’ve become. But we’re better than this. There are people in this country who traffic in bigotry. But bigotry

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.

On Wednesday, Notre Dame students will take to the On Wednesday, Notre Dame students will take to the polls and elect their new student body president. A glance at the ballot suggests that this year’s candidates all appear to be human and pro-democracy. This observation may seem obvious or nonsensical, but a look back at the history of SBP elections shows that pro-democracy ideals or even personhood are not characteristic of all candidates.
