[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dane has poor diversity figures. Look it up.[/quote]

Botre Dame is a Catholic school created to educate Catholic young adults from back in the day when Catholics were openly discriminated against and not wanted at all the waspy schools.

It's heritage and its mission are essentially Catholic.

Catholics in the US are historically working and middle class, white, western European.  Back in the time when ND was formed, this meant Irish, Italians, Polish, Spanish, French and Portuguese, among others.  In modern times Catholic in the US is significantly Hispanic.

Notre Dame specifically is traditionally Irish Catholic.  You don't get much whiter than an Irish Catholic.

Of course a Catholic university still holding on to its Catholic identity, is going to be disproportionately Catholic and all that usually represents.

Anyone who complains about this is just being contrary and foolish.[/quote]

All that talk and no figures. ND has 4% black students. Less than 1% Native American. Not 3% international and so on.[/quote]
