I did not say it was one of the finest institutions only in academics. Those are your words. My words about chapel vis a vis Ivy schools made that point sufficiently. Your own words applauding ND alumni withholding finances would seem to reinforce it. And the President of the University isn’t even “a few”. He is one man. Attack him all you want. I was never at any point in this discussion defending him, but only the institution, itself, wholescale attacks upon which were, indeed, the beginning of my defense. Never the President of the University, much less the President of the U.S., whom I hold to be worse than a poisonous snake.
I would be inclined to agree that much of Notre Dame's faculty consists of fine priests. IIRC, there was an "alternate" graduation held last year for those students who were unwilling to participate in the Obama lovefest.

Reinforce what?

He was the ONE MAN who initiated the invitation and could have uninvited Obama at any time.

As I said, in all of the threads I don't recall any condemnation of the University, all of the anger was directed at Jenkins and the Board.
