From the Archives: An early history of parietals at Notre Dame — Part 2

Spencer Kelly | Monday, October 3, 2022

This week, From the Archives continues its coverage on the early history of parietals at Notre Dame. Part one ended in 1969 with some early issues and complaints regarding initial parietal policies, but an overall sense of optimism that this new system would work out. We pick up our story in early 1970, as the

From the Archives: An early history of parietals at Notre Dame — Part 1

Spencer Kelly | Monday, September 26, 2022

Parietals continue to be a consistently controversial topic at Notre Dame, almost universally igniting the ire of the student body. While this policy may seem to be an eternal annoyance, in fact parietals as we know them date only to the late 1960s and are intertwined with the process of coeducation at Notre Dame, now

Saint Mary’s lifts masking requirement, updates guest policies

Observer Staff Report | Friday, March 18, 2022

In an email to the Saint Mary’s community, COVID Response Team chair Mona Bowe announced changes to the College’s masking and guest policies. Effectively immediately, students are no longer required to mask on campus, including in classrooms. Bowe noted how this new measure would impact students, especially sophomores and first-years. “We are thrilled to be

Oh, it feels so good to be back. Did you miss me? Because I have missed you, cherished Observer readers. It’s been 9 months since I graduated from Notre Dame and you, my previously captive audience, were released from the grips of my enthralling sports coverage and scathing hot takes. But now, I have been

From the Archives: When students tried to abolish parietals

Evan McKenna, Jim Moster, Sarah Kikel, Uyen Le and Maggie Clark | Monday, February 22, 2021

Here at the Archives, we’re always on the lookout for examples of history repeating itself — and if there’s any subject of campus discourse doomed to be locked in a perpetual time loop, it’s the issue of parietals at Notre Dame. The parietals debate seems to revive itself every few years, with notable resurgences occurring

What does Notre Dame stand for?

Ben Testani | Thursday, December 12, 2019

Everyone who has ever set foot on the campus of Notre Dame has seen the famous photo of Fr. Ted Hesburgh and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The two are locked in arms, standing together against racial injustice. The image is plastered around our University, iconic for what it represents. Less well known is a

A letter from Paul Browne

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, December 11, 2019

The University is aware of the incidents described in a letter to The Observer last week. In fact, an investigation regarding the appearance of racially derogatory graffiti has been completed. The Notre Dame Police Department (NDPD) quickly identified four out-of-state high school students as the responsible parties. It also charged them with trespassing, barring them

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, December 10, 2019

Dear Savanna Morgan and other members of End Hate at ND — We Notre Dame faculty and staff members are outraged by the sexist, racist and homophobic abuse you and other students have suffered, and continue to suffer, from far too many of your fellow students. We stand by you in urging Notre Dame administrators

Parietals are not the problem

Letter to the Editor | Monday, November 25, 2019

With the recent sit-ins and letters such as “Parietals criminalize gender itself, but we already knew that,” I have struggled to understand conclusions drawn by the End Hate at ND movement. Despite being part of an ostracized group they set out to defend, I feel as if my experiences and views directly contradict their demands.

“Students’ safety comes first:” Demonstrations against parietals continue, cautiously

Mary Bernard and Natalie Weber | Friday, November 22, 2019

A few minutes before 11 p.m. Thursday, as rain continued to sprinkle down, 17 students gathered outside Coleman-Morse to prepare for their second demonstration in Sorin College. Some lived on campus, some off. But they were united in a common mission: to rid the University of parietals and end hate speech on campus.  “We want

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.
