Here is a link to a distressing story about recent developments at Notre Dame. The Notre Dame Fund to Protect Human Life has been responsible for some encouraging initiatives, including the Vita Institute. Now, the University administration has decided to back out of an agreement that it entered into several years ago that permitted the Fund to operate under the direction of an independent committee.
UPDATE: Here is a link to an opinion piece by Carter Snead on these developments at Notre Dame. Carter is the director of Notre Dame’s Center for Ethics and Culture, which has supported many pro-life initiatives at Notre Dame. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/11/why-did-notre-dame-end-donations-to-the-fund-to-protect-human-life/
