    4/1/2021 Identity Crisis Published on Commonweal Magazine (https://www.commonwealmagazine.org) Home > Identity Crisis Students walking on the Milwaukee campus of Marquette University (CNS photo/courtesy Marquette University). Those who remember the Laetare Medal controversy of 2009 might be feeling a little déjà vu as Notre Dame approaches this year’s commencement. That was when Mary Ann Glendon, former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, was supposed to receive the honor. But she refused, citing the controversy over then-President Barack Obama’s attendance. The university didn’t issue the award, and that was also the last time a sitting U.S. president visited Notre Dame. Now, twelve years later, people are wondering: Will the university invite Joe Biden [1], just the second Catholic president in U.S. history? That this is even a newsworthy issue shows how easily we can be distracted from the larger underlying concern—namely, the crisis in American Catholic higher education. It’s a bigger problem than the collapse of ecclesial credibility and the behavior of the bishops, and it can’t be blamed solely on politics. Student enrollment is trending down [2], for a variety of reasons—from perceptions about academic competitiveness and future employability to economic conditions related to the pandemic. Even Jesuit institutions, generally thought to be the strongest subgroup of Catholic universities, are feeling the pressure: John Carroll University, Marquette University, St. Louis University, and Wheeling University are dealing [3] with deficits [4], cutting staff [5], or gutting programs [6]. But in seeking to address these challenges, many schools are putting their Catholic identity at risk—namely, by positioning and marketing themselves as part of the mainstream liberal-progressive realm of higher education.

  • Glendon Declines to Accept Notre Dame's Prestigious Laetare Medal
    Glendon declines to accept Notre Dame’s prestigious Laetare Medal WASHINGTON – Citing concerns about plans to honor President Barack Obama despite his views on “fundamental principles of justice” that are contrary to Catholic teaching, former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican Mary Ann Glendon has turned down the prestigious Laetare Medal from the University of Notre Dame. In an April 27 letter to Holy Cross Father John I. Jenkins, Notre Dame’s president, Ms. Glendon said she will not participate in May 17 commencement exercises during which the award was to have been presented. The letter, posted on the blog of the magazine First Things, does not mention specific justice principles, but Ms. Glendon was critical of Notre Dame’s decision to give President Obama an honorary degree. President Obama supports legal abortion and his administration recently proposed new regulations that would allow the use of federal funds for embryonic stem-cell research. Both are in direct conflict with fundamental church teaching. The Laetare Medal is presented annually to an American Catholic layperson for outstanding service to the Catholic Church and society. A spokeswoman for the Indiana university confirmed April 27 that Ms. Glendon, who served as ambassador from 2007 until earlier this year, was the first person to accept and then later decline the award. Father Jenkins offered a two-sentence response on the university’s Web site. “We are, of course, disappointed, that Professor Glendon has made this decision,” his statement said. “It is our intention to award the Laetare Medal to another deserving recipient, and we will make the announcement as soon as possible.” Ms.
