Directors' Statement on the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture, Catholic Identity, and Academic Excellence
Note: The following piece by dCEC director O. Carter Snead and director-elect Jennifer Newsome Martin was published in the Irish Rover on April 25, 2024.
Given the recent discussion of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture in various public fora in tandem with the recently announced transition in its leadership, we are grateful for the opportunity to clear up some persistent misimpressions concerning its work and to offer some thoughts about the relationship between Catholic identity and serious, rigorous, and excellent academic research and teaching.
