A few weeks ago, my Notre Dame colleague, Fr. Bill Miscamble, had a piece<\/a> in America <\/em>magazine, in which he discussed the importance to Catholic universities \u2014 at least, to those that aspire to be <\/em>Catholic \u2014 of hiring and retaining Catholic faculty.\u00a0 The piece was widely<\/a> discussed<\/a> in the blogosphere (and, I\u2019m sure, in faculty lounges and bars where alumni hang out).\u00a0 In response, another friend and colleague, Prof. John McGreevy, responded<\/a> in Commonweal, <\/em>and contended that Fr. Miscamble had both missed the good news that there is and failed to appreciate the nature of the Catholic-hiring challenge.<\/p>\n

Fr. Miscamble has now prepared a reply to Prof. McGreevy.\u00a0 Apparently, America <\/em>magazine is not going to publish it.\u00a0 So, I have reproduced the whole thing, here<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0In his reply, Fr. Miscamble discusses, among other things, the importance of non-Catholics to the mission of a Catholic university, the caution that is (as Prof. McGreevy had pointed out) appropriate regarding a focus simply on \u201cthe numbers\u201d, and the question of the \u201cdepth of the pool\u201d of possible Catholic hires.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
