[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame alum here.  It’s gotten way, way too conservative and politically inactive.  We purposely swayed our kids from applying although DH and I both loved it in our day. (Class of 1987).  Notre Dame has changed.  [/quote]

Another ND alum from the same time period here.  It wasn't exactly Berkeley then either.  How do you square being "way too conservative" with Biden, Clinton, and Obama all handily winning mock elections?  Are you bemoaning the fact that there are actually conservatives on campus?  Because there sure were in the late 80s too.

Or are you talking about the administration?[/quote]

The administration but also a lot of the students.  It changed drastically after Fr Ted.  It’s just not the same “If you want peace - work for justice” institution it used to be.  There was a gay club when we were on campus.  Fr Ted actually apologized to my gay brother (class of 77) when he visited in the 90’s if anyone made him feel uncomfortable in college.  Years later the gay club got kicked off.

Plus (and I’m sure this is true of all universities today) the addiction to technology has made the quads and dining halls so quiet.

I don’t think DH and I got more liberal!  ND changed.  [/quote]
