Oh that’s right. Criticizing Notre Dame is prohibited. As is pointing out Catholic hypocrisy.

A lot of comments have been deleted that were blatantly anti Catholic.

What's the big deal? If you disagree and don't want your kid at a Catholic institution, don't have your DC apply. It's pretty simple.

While I grew up Catholic, I would not have my kids attend a Catholic institution nor are we interested in applying. It's pretty simple.

Odd how ND was bragging about being T15 a few years ago, now at risk of not being T25 in a few years. The ranking changes will really hurt them if they don't change.

Why are we all of the sudden taking a leap and assuming that if you don’t abolish legacy preferences you are going to drop in the rankings? Where is this coming from?

Legacy preferences, will prevent them.from diversifying. The ranking is increasing the weight of diversity.

Oh, please. You really don’t think that Notre Dame is smart enough to come up with a process that accomplishes both?

+1

-1 please... look at the anti-legacy threads against elite universities (which ND is not even a part of).

ND's legacy policy deserves even more criticism given that they are supposedly an institution that adheres to Catholic teachings, ie, help the poor not the rich. It's hypocritical of them to suggest they need riches to help the poor. That is not what Christ taught. It's actually a slap in the face to what He taught.

You have that wrong. The last acceptable discrimination is against Asian Americans. Let me remind you that a Catholic sits on the highest court of law in this country, as you pro ND legacy keep reminding us.

I agree with you that Asians are discrimated against, especially in higher ed. However, I don't think people just laugh it off and pile on like they do when it comes to Catholics. People all over DCUM are very upfront in their anti-Catholicism and seldom are called out for it. It's business as usual because people don't think anyone cares. If you swapped out another religion for Catholic in scores of comments, people would be up in arms.

Again, the criticism is not due to ND being Catholic. It's because of their stance on legacy AND being Catholic.

Georgetown is also a Catholic univ. ND boosters are just special snowflakes.

Also, people rail against Catholic institutions because of the harm it's done over many decades. It's not because of any hate towards Catholics, per se. I'll remind you again, there are six Catholics in SCOTUS - a majority. So, give me a break with the "we are discriminated against" crap.

I’m curious. What’s your connection, if any, to Notre Dame?

It’s piling on to ask Catholics to, you know, be Catholics .
