I agree with you, Bill, that it is a central requirement that there be a solid majority of Faithful Catholics on the faculty. I see no problem with members of the laity in governance as long as they are Faithful to the Catholic Mission of the University. I know of no Corporation, for example, that would not expect employees to be faithful to their mission statement. Why should it be any different for a Catholic University and her employees? Perhaps an oath of such Fidelity might help. I am wondering, however, why someone would want to be on the faculty in the first place if they did not agree with the mission statement.
