I realize this is of little consequence to Notre Dame.
But I was considering taking a PhD there, as ND has at least one professor who is expert in (or rather, near to) an area of study I’d like to pursue. When ND bestowed an honorary doctorate on a man whose only known legislative “accomplishment” was a bill legalizing the murder of children after they are born (if last-minute abortions failed to do the job just beforehand).... when ND did that, I nearly vomited. Needless to say, I did not sign up for that degree, either.
Good for you anyway. A bucket is filled with drops of water.
