The administration has confirmed that President Obama will indeed serve as our commencement speaker. I appreciate those who maintained respect for the office throughout this process and stood against the outside influence attempting to hijack our university affairs. We have secured the outcome we desired and will now look toward …
I am sure I'm not the only Notre Dame alum to be PROUD that President Obama will be speaking at the commencement this year. I was lucky enough to have had George H.W. Bush speak at my commencement in 1992. It was an honor to have the president speak at Notre Dame then, and it is an honor now.
Respect for the office of the President is point 1.
Point 2 is that there are other groups in no way associated with Notre Dame which are using the University's name and this headline to promote their own agenda, which is especially distasteful to me as an alum, but whose two-faced agenda should be distasteful to anyone in favor free speech.
The petition has now reached 1,000 signatures. This milestone confirms that many others share the belief that the office of the President deserves our respect regardless of individual political views.
