Colleagues,

This past weekend, the South Bend Tribune ran a viewpoint that had several misunderstandings of how the Notre Dame endowment operates. Paul J. Browne, Vice President of Public Affairs and Communications at the University, released a response viewpoint in the Tribune today that outlines how the endowment actually works, as well as the immense impact Notre Dame has on the local economy. Please consider this article as a useful resource to share and discuss with benefactors who may have similar concerns or questions related to the endowment.
