Okay, not only is this guy a history professor, but on top of that, Marquette is a Catholic institution, is it not?
Wonder what they think about theft? I mean, this guy is defiling academic, religious, and just plain moral standards in every way imaginable.
And then the fact that he would be "greatly distressed" if this were re-opened. I mean, I'm glad he thinks he's closed the doors on this and all. Yep, that's all that's involved in closing the doors, right? Ha!
Put this man on trial. Period.
Marquette, like most of the other Universities run by the Jesuit order in the US can be considered only nominally Catholic.
I graduated from Marquette a couple of times in the '80's, you could find the Catholic character there, but you had to look for it yourself. Now it just seems to have been lost altogether.
