To stay or go: What we know

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, August 26, 2020

We read both Stephanie McKay’s “Send the students home” and Dr. Joanna Fava’s “Let the students stay” this week with great interest. As recent alumni and as medical professionals with experience in front-line care of patients with COVID-19, we felt compelled to respond to Dr. Fava’s viewpoint. First, to be clear, we do not envy

Recalculating the risks, a student’s response

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, August 26, 2020

Yesterday, a group of Notre Dame professors made their case for why the University should continue in-person instruction and keep students on campus and in person. I found this Letter to be concerning, and I’ll explore some of the reasons why. I’ll begin with the authors’ discussion of what “numbers” should hold meaning in the

In response to Fr. Jenkins

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, June 2, 2020

Like many of my peers, I was thrilled to receive the announcement that the fall semester would resume in person. I love being on campus, I miss my friends and I recognize that in-person education is beneficial for building a rigorous intellectual community. I had a high degree of trust that the decision for the

Responses to coronavirus reflect differences between US, China

G. Matthew Molinsky | Thursday, March 26, 2020

Dealing with the effects of coronavirus and COVID-19 is the latest test for American democracy. This crisis will allow us to see some stark differences in the way the world’s two superpowers use their authority, and how each country handles this crisis will have serious ramifications for how each nation governs in the future.

Response to ‘The devil wears a MAGA hat’

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, February 27, 2019

Attitudes like those expressed by Jeff Murphy in his Feb. 25 column are the kindling with which democracies burn. I do not mean to suggest, though, that Mr. Murphy seeks the dissolution of American democracy. Moreover, I doubt that Donald Trump is on track to overthrow America’s democratic institutions. Rather, I contend that Mr. Murphy’s willingness

Response to “Father Jenkins is a disgrace”

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, November 14, 2018

I am saddened by Law student Deion Kathawa’s letter published Nov. 12 in The Observer. Both his tone and his content suggest that his understanding of Catholic teaching is very limited. There is more to the Church than the Church Militant. Fr. Jenkins has withheld a decision to revoke former Cardinal McCarrick’s honorary degree until

Response to ‘The men of ND request a porn filter’

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, October 25, 2018

I completely agree with “the men of Notre Dame” about the dangers of pornography. But I cannot sign their petition, because imposing the campus-wide filter they propose would cause more problems than it would solve. First, there is the problem of defining when something is pornographic, the issue the Supreme Court wrestled with in Jacobellis

Notre Dame statement on the Church crisis

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, October 2, 2018

The University of Notre Dame is proud of its Catholic mission, and the ways in which that mission enhances its education and scholarly efforts and enriches our University community. Yet the recent Pennsylvania grand jury report about six Catholic dioceses, as well as other reports in the news, have been a cause not of pride,

Response to Dan Lawton’s letter in The Observer

Letter to the Editor | Friday, August 31, 2018

Dear Fr. Joyce, Moose and Ara, I trust our Lord and Our Lady are treating you well in paradise. I’m writing to you at the request of an old friend, Dan Lawton, who is quite upset about ND’s apparent sellout to the almighty dollar — and asked someone to write you to explain what’s happening and

The statistics in a previously published viewpoint on Dreamers “are a nightmare”

Letter to the Editor | Monday, August 27, 2018

“Dreamers are Americans in every way but on paper. They have grown up in our communities and pledge allegiance to our flag. They’re contributing to our economy and thriving in our universities, workforce and military, including 220,000 in California alone. Dreamers represent the best of who we are as a country and know no other
