Our goal is not to limit discussion or inquiry, but to enrich it; it is not to insulate that faith tradition from criticism, but to foster constructive engagement with critics.
Closing Statement Rev. John Jenkins, C.S.C. April 5, 2006
I applaud both your concern about Notre Dame and its mission, and your willingness to engage in serious discussion about important issues. I have just three requests, which are, I am sure, consistent with the spirit of your project. First, please make a good faith effort to report facts accurately. Some on both sides of this issue have shown a cavalier disregard for the facts. Second, in any discussion, please exhibit respect for others who disagree. Sometimes the acrimony of the discussion can be as damaging to the university as the problematic issue under discussion. Third, please keep me and the university in your prayers.
