U. NOTRE DAME PRESIDENT REPLACED AMID SCANDALS
Rev. Edward Malloy, president of the University of Notre Dame since 1987,
has been replaced by the universitys board of trustees amid scandals
including a Queer Film Festival and The Vagina Monologues that upset
Notre Dame alumni.
Malloy told a campus newspaper that he asked the trustees to review his
tenure and offered to remain in the position. But in an unusually swift
manner, the trustees announced that Malloy would step down in June 2005
and named his replacement, Rev. John Jenkins, a Notre Dame vice president
and philosophy professor who raises no objections from Cardinal Newman
Societys contacts at the university.
University chairman Patrick McCartan said Jenkins suberb academic
credentials... will be of critical importance to the realization of our
aspiration to become one of the great research universities of the world
with a distinctly Catholic character.
