A once great university devoted to instructing mainly Catholics in the tenets of their faith. It's downfall began under Theodore Hesburgh and has only accelerated under current president John I. Jenkins. And, no, I refuse to refer to either or them as "reverend". Both are disgraces to their Church, which, incidentally, has failed miserably to exert some control over them and their institutions.
"The University of Notre Dame is offering a one hour credit seminar discussing the critical issue of white privilege. The class is being offered in the spring semester of 2015.
In the course registrar, the course is listed as Sociology 25280 and is named “White Privilege Seminar.” The course will meet eight times next semester for two hours each time. The course description goes into more detail as to the logistics of the class. “This six-week preparatory class is designed to educate and train White Privilege Conference delegation participants on the definitions of, historical/current paradigm of, and causes/effects of white privilege.”...
Along with the training seminar, students will be required to attend the White Privilege Conference after the training class from March 8-14. The course description’s claims the main objective for each student is “personal transformation: to leave the class and conference more aware of injustices and better equipped with tools to disrupt personal, institutional, and worldwide systems of oppression.”
