Page "news" Paragraph 1959

The pattern here pictured is clearly not peculiar to Notre Dame: it is simply that the paradox involved in this kind of control of the institution by `` the organization which actually owns '' it, becomes more obvious where there is a larger and more distinguished `` outside '' faculty.

It is particularly interesting that those who framed the report should refer to `` the organization which actually owns the university '': this seems to show an awareness of the fact that there is more to the problem than the ordinary issue of clerical-lay tension.

But in any case, one does not have to read very closely between the lines to realize that the situation is not regarded as a particularly happy one.

`` Outside '' faculty members want to be considered partners in the academic enterprise and not merely paid employees of a family business.
