University of Notre Dame omits support for Catholic mission from new list of staff values

During the University’s staff town halls on Oct. 29 and 30, the University’s vice president for human resources, Heather Christophersen, announced a new set of “ND Values.” The previous list included a value that called for staff acceptance and support of the University’s Catholic mission, which was absent in the new list. These organizational principles are geared towards the University’s roughly 4,500 staff members, such as those working in administration, communications, facilities, dining services, financial management, and residential life, among other areas. They do not generally apply to faculty.
