Walsh needs to get facts straight

Letter to the Editor | Friday, April 7, 2017

On Tuesday, Matt Walsh, writer for The Blaze, hosted by the Notre Dame Young Americans for Freedom, gave a lecture entitled “How the Left Corrupts Capitalism.” On the Wednesday morning following his talk he made a post on Facebook detailing his narrative about the campus climate regarding his visit. Central to his points were that the administration

A school for all views

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, April 21, 2016

That’s the message Notre Dame portrays loud and clear to all students who want to apply. As the Mission Statement proclaims, “The intellectual interchange essential to a university requires, and is enriched by, the presence and voices of diverse scholars and students.” So, if this is true, can it not be inferred that here at

A missed conversation

Letter to the Editor | Monday, April 11, 2016

When I heard that Wendy Davis was coming to speak on campus, my first instinct was to protest against her. But when I thought about what people have been saying about dialogue, I decided not to.

Women deserve better

Laura Wolk | Wednesday, April 6, 2016

On Monday, former state senator Wendy Davis gave a talk entitled “Rise Up: From Single Mother to Harvard Law.” While in public office, Davis achieved notoriety after her 11-hour filibuster against comprehensive pro-life legislation in Texas. She supplemented her political advocacy with personal testimony about her own two abortions, including the fact that, guided by

Former Texas senator Wendy Davis advocates for women’s health

Lucas Masin-Moyer | Tuesday, April 5, 2016

In June 2013, Wendy Davis fought for the protection of abortion rights in an 11-hour filibuster in the Texas state senate. Nearly three years later, she continued her advocacy for women’s health with an hour-long talk and discussion at Notre Dame. Hosted by the Notre Dame College Democrats, the event was co-sponsored by Women in
