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

Notre Dame student senate passed a resolution in a special meeting Monday condemning hate speech in wake of recent protests on campus. The operative clause of the resolution read: “Resolved, the Student Senate condemns all hate speech, discrimination, or ill will done to any member of our Notre Dame family and calls upon the Notre

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.

Assuming the piece published earlier this week defending the parietal sit-in at Stanford Hall was not satirical, I write to respond to the absurdity of the author’s claims. For those who have not read it — “Parietals criminalize gender itself, but we already knew that” — the basis of the author’s argument is that parietals

In light of recent protests against parietals and controversy that has surrounded this gender-segregating policy, I thought it would be appropriate to provide a few solutions for heterosexual students who want some extra private time with individuals from the opposite sex (and for some reason do not have extra off-campus apartments). You know, for the

“Because we are committed to a Christian ideal of community and to the growth and formation of each individual, the ties that bind members of this community are not always the same as those within society at large. The University’s expectations for conduct go beyond what is minimally required for maintaining public order, as we
