Mary Ann Glendon:

I could not help but be dismayed by the news that Notre Dame also planned to award the president an honorary degree… It is with great sadness, therefore, that I have concluded that I cannot accept the Laetare Medal or participate in the May 17 graduation ceremony.

What class!!

And by someone who recognizes the fact that such actions of Notre Dame are indeed of a scandalous nature:

Finally, with recent news reports that other Catholic schools are similarly choosing to disregard the bishops’ guidelines, I am concerned that Notre Dame’s example could have an unfortunate ripple effect.

I am going to write to her to show my support. What a gal!!!

One would think that with all the controversy NDU would be digging a hole and climbing in right now.
