A series of e-mails that circulated among the more liberal and politically correct members of the faculty. First, Nancy Snow urging a variety of actions to support lesbian Arts & Science Dean candidate Jodi O’Brien , who was chosen and then told that she could not be dean. Dear Colleagues: I’m appalled, but not surprised, that the Archdiocese and other outside influences were involved in this decision

Politically Correct Faculty Mobilize to Support Lesbian Arts & Sciences Dean Candidate

From WISN-TV, a story on the role of of Archbishop Jerome Listecki in Marquette’s decision to rescind a offer of the Arts & Sciences Deanship to Jodi O’Brien . What is significant here? The fact that the Search Committee knew there would be “pushback” if an activist lesbian were chosen for the job

Lesbian Dean Candidate: Archbishop, Search Committee Members Talk

From Facebook : Colleagues, The events of the past week are a grave and serious matter to all of us because they reflect on Marquette University’s national reputation as an academic institution–specifically, whether we are open to the diversity of leadership, opinions and ideas that the “sifting and winnowing for the truth” in all serious universities demands. The fallout from the withdrawal of a formal offer of the A&S deanship to Dr. O’Brien (notably, a full professor and department chair at a companion Jesuit, Catholic university!) will greatly influence Marquette’s ability to recruit and retain faculty (especially women), will diminish our intellectual standing in the eyes of other institutions of higher education and, depending on how Dr

Marketing Professor Gene Lacniak: Letter in Support of Jodi O’Brien

In spite of the fact that the most visible and outspoken Marquette faculty have been supportive of now rejected lesbian Arts & Sciences Dean candidate Jodi O’Brien , not all faculty see it that way. The fact that Academic Senate failed to pass a censure motion directed at Father Wild suggests a lack of complete unanimity (although a fair number of faculty members who refused to censure Wild may have, in fact, wanted O’Brien hired)

Philosophy Professor on Dean Search Fiasco: Consider Catholic Nature of the University

A letter from Jeanne M. Hossenlopp, current (interim) Dean of Arts & Sciences , and Stephanie Russell, Vice President for Mission and Ministry. We won’t quote the entire thing, but it seems to come down on the side of lesbian Dean candidate Jodi O’Brien, whose offer of the deanship was rescinded just last week

Arts & Sciences Dean on Her Would-Be Successor

One of the interesting things about the brouhaha over the withdrawal of an offer to Jodi O’Brien , candidate for the Dean of Arts and Sciences is the issue of whether the Selection Committee is at fault for not having properly warned Father Wild about the controversial nature of O’Brien’s writings.

Rescinded Offer to Lesbian Dean Candidate: More Sturm und Drang

Not really a surprise from a body that has pretty much bought into the entire gay agenda , but the Marquette Student Senate tonight voted to support Jodi O’Brien by a vote of 16 in favor, and 6 opposed and 2 abstaining.

Student Government Senate Supports Rejected Lesbian Arts and Science Dean Candidate

Before we had any idea that Jodi O’Brien, the Arts & Science Dean candidate whose offer from Marquette was withdrawn, was a not merely lesbian, but rather a gay political activist, we had decided she was unqualified to be Dean.

From the gay journal The Advocate , which managed to get some good inside information from Jodi O’Brien, who was offered the job of Arts & Science Dean but had it withdrawn . O’Brien said Thursday that she had been previously recruited by a third-party firm for the same position in fall 2008

The recent demand from the Registrar that more classes be offered at 8:00 a.m. was received by faculty with a decided lack of enthusiasm. It was obvious to all of us that there is no shortage of classrooms during the more desirable hours.

The following is a response to our post “Campus Ministry, Gay Group Trash Bible, Church Teachings on Homosexuality.” On controversial issues, panels should present fairly both sides of the issue. I doubt very much that the conservative side and a solid Catholic response to these constant negations of biblical authority with regard to the immorality not only of homosexual acts, but also of any sexual act that is not in the context of a committed heterosexual marriage (the second adjective should be totally unnecessary but unfortunately has to be stated) that is open to the procreation, raising, and educating of children in a loving family atmosphere. Though I haven’t seen the movie, I can predict every aspect of it and how it belittles as “fundamentalism” any serious consideration that the Bible and God may actually condemn certain sexual actions.
