protecting the catholic identity of notre dame
“We hire computer programmers, experts in finance, literary deconstructionists, coaches, and what have you – all without regard to their faith....And one day we wake up and find ourselves...as shocked as Claude Raines in Casablanca when he hears that gambling is going on in Rick’s café.”
