[edit] History

The University of Dallas' charter dates from 1910 when the Western Province of the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians) renamed Holy Trinity College in Dallas, which they had founded in 1905.[19] The provincial of the Western Province closed the University in 1928, and the charter reverted to the Diocese of Dallas. In 1955, the Western Province of the Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur obtained it to create a new higher education institution in Dallas that would subsume their junior college, Our Lady of Victory College, located in Fort Worth.[20] The Sisters, together with Eugene Constantin, Jr. and Edward R. Maher, Sr., petitioned the Diocese of Dallas to sponsor the University, though ownership was entrusted to a self-perpetuating independent board of trustees.[21] "Bishop Gorman, as chancellor of the new university, announced that it would be a Catholic coeducational institution welcoming students of all faiths and races and offering work on the undergraduate level, with a graduate school to be added as soon as possible. The new University of Dallas opened to ninety-six students in September 1956 on a 1,000-acre tract of rolling hills northwest of Dallas."[21]

Carpenter Hall, the first building on the campus of the University of Dallas

The Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur, monks from the Order of Cistercians (Cistercians), friars from the Order of Friars Minor (Franciscans), and several lay professors formed the University's original faculty.[21] The Franciscans departed three years later; however, friars from the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) joined the faculty in 1958 and built St. Albert the Great Priory on campus. The Cistercians established Our Lady of Dallas Abbey in 1958[22] and Cistercian Preparatory School in 1962,[23] which are both adjacent to campus. The School Sisters of Notre Dame arrived in 1962 and opened the Notre Dame Special School for children with learning difficulties in 1963[24] and a motherhouse for the Dallas Province in 1964,[25] which were both on campus. The Sisters moved the school to Dallas in 1985 and closed the motherhouse in 1987. The faculty now is almost exclusively lay and includes several distinguished scholars.

A grant from the Blakley-Braniff Foundation established the Braniff Graduate School in 1966 and allowed the construction of the Braniff Graduate Center. The Constantin Foundation similarly endowed the undergraduate college, and, in 1970, the Board of Trustees named the undergraduate college the Constantin College of Liberal Arts. The Graduate School of Management, begun in 1966, offers a large MBA program. Programs in art and English also began in 1966. In 1973, the Institute of Philosophic Studies, the doctoral program of the Braniff Graduate School and an outgrowth of the Kendall Politics and Literature Program, was initiated. The School of Ministry began in 1987. The College of Business, incorporating the Graduate School of Management and undergraduate business, opened in 2003.

Since the first class in 1960, University graduates have won significant honors, including 30 Fulbright awards.[26] Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools came in 1963 and has been reaffirmed regularly.[27] In 1989, it was the youngest higher education institution to be awarded a Phi Beta Kappa chapter.[28]

[edit] Governance and leadership

The University of Dallas is governed by a board of trustees, which currently is chaired by Francis P. Hubach, Jr., J.D.[5] According to the University's by-laws, the bishop of Dallas is an ex-officio voting member.

[edit] Rome Program

The University started its Rome Program in 1970.[34] The Program is a semester abroad in which (generally) sophomores spend a semester in Rome. The University has had its campus at a number of locations over the years. It was first at a Notre Dame convent[citation needed] in 1970-1971. By 1972, the campus was in the "International Center", a sprawling complex on the Via della Pisana outside the Grande Raccordo Anulare (G.R.A.). In the spring of 1973 in mid-semester, the school moved its campus to "Hotel La Villa", a hotel that catered to tour groups, which had a separate set of buildings that the University used. The school's campus is now a convent.

In 1990, the University purchased a villa southeast of Rome in the Alban Hills. This campus was purchased to serve as the base of the University of Dallas Rome Program. In June 1994, the newly renovated 12-acre (49,000 m2) property was inaugurated as the Eugene Constantin Rome Campus, and that fall it hosted its first students. Just south of Rome along the Via Appia, the campus includes a library, chapel, housing, a dining hall, classrooms, tennis courts, a swimming pool, an outdoor Greco-Roman theater, working vineyards and olive groves.

[edit] Pre-MBA Program

Pre-MBA is a full time non-credit integrated program. Students attend classes during the day Monday through Friday, 20 to 25 hours per week. Instructional hours may vary by course. The academic areas covered during Pre-MBA are designed to prepare students for the challenges of the standard business curriculum of most U.S. MBA programs and assist in working in the US. Business areas include Business Communication, Excel and Business Foundations. Students receive instruction in TOEFL preparation, accent reduction, speaking and writing assistance to help students succeed in the Graduate classroom and the workplace.

[edit] Graduate Programs

[edit] Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts

The foyer of the Braniff Graduate Center

A 1966 grant from the Blakley-Braniff Foundation established the Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts. It administers master's degrees in many disciplines, including: American Studies, Art, English, Humanities, Philosophy, Politics, Psychology, and Theology.

In 1973, the University initiated the Institute of Philosophic Studies, which was an outgrowth of the Kendall Politics and Literature Program, to administer the Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts' doctoral program. The interdisciplinary Ph.D. program offers concentrations in English, Philosophy, and Politics and is the only one in the United States with a core curriculum in great books.

[edit] Graduate School of Management

The University of Dallas Graduate School of Management was established in 1966, offering one of the nation’s first part-time MBA programs for working professionals. Today, the program has expanded to include the Master of Science program, Early Career MBA, Experienced Professional MBA, Graduate Certificates, graduate preparatory programs, professional development courses and an undergraduate program. Our mission is to provide a wide range of business education options to help our students achieve their personal and professional goals.

[edit] IRPS faculty departures

In 2001, the entire full-time staff of the Institute for Religious and Pastoral Studies (IRPS) program, including the director Douglas Bushman and associate directors Timothy Herrman and David Twellman, resigned and moved to Ave Maria College[64] Chancellor Charles V. Grahmann called the departure a "blessing." He said, "we are changing the direction of the program." According to Grahmann, the Institute's then administrators had become, "advocates of an ideal orthodoxy and built walls that no one could penetrate."[65] Under the direction of Director Bushman, the IRPS had enjoyed the support of several bishops, including Bishop Edward Slattery in Tulsa, Cardinal Francis George in Chicago, and Cardinal Raymond Burke, then Bishop of La Crosse and currently Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura.[66] Since the departures in 2001, the IRPS, under the leadership and direction of Dean Brian Schmisek, was refounded as the School of Ministry, hired scholars to replace those who resigned, and has become larger and, to some, more successful than it was in 2001.[67]

[edit] Guadalupe art print scandal

On February 14, 2008 an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was removed from the Upper Gallery of the Haggerty Art Village. The image, entitled "Saint or Sinner", was on loan from Murray State University in Kentucky and reportedly portrayed the Virgin Mary as a stripper. Responding to the incident, President Frank Lazarus released the following statement:

"By committing an intrinsically evil act before the administration has had a reasonable chance to formulate a response, this theft severely damages the prospects of dealing with this issue in a measured and rational manner as befits the dignity of a university community. Nevertheless, I will respond in a timely fashion to the substantive issues surrounding the display of this work of art in view of our Catholic character, our religious values, and the urgent question of the proper meaning of academic freedom."

Reaction to Dr. Lazarus' statement prompted heated campus discussion. Opinions ranged from support of academic freedom to open hostility towards the university's administration and calls for the president to resign. Some Catholic students questioned whether the theft was actually an "intrinsically evil act", arguing that it was within the prerogative of a Catholic student to remove an image that desecrates the Mother of God.[68]

[edit] Cancellation of the School of Pharmacy

In 2007, the University of Dallas Board of Trustees voted for the addition of a School of Pharmacy. The school was scheduled to open in the Fall of 2009. As with the establishment of the Business School, student and faculty reaction to the new School of Pharmacy ranged from support to grave concern over maintaining the University's identity as a liberal arts institution.In 2008 the University suspended the establishment of the Pharmacy School. Administrators cited the financial downturn initiated by the Global financial crisis of 2008–2009 as the central reason for abandoning the proposed program.

[edit] School of Ministry undergraduate major in Pastoral Ministry

On March 4, 2011, the University's Board of Trustees unanimously approved a new undergraduate major in pastoral ministry proposed by the School of Ministry. The decision came on the heels of a heated controversy surrounding the proposal.[69] A few School of Ministry faculty were accused of opposing official Catholic teaching on issues such as relativism, homosexuality, and the ordination of women to the priesthood.[70][71] Patrick F. Fagan, father of five UD alumni, authored a commentary titled "Trouble at the University of Dallas?" where he expressed concerns regarding such faculty. President Thomas Keefe defended his administration's decision to push forward with the program at the express request of the Bishops of Dallas and Fort Worth, who stated that there is a desperate need for a pastoral ministry program in North Texas and the approved program, as it has been proposed to them, meets that need.[72][73]

The issues of orthodoxy raised in Fagan's article, and the subsequent unanimous Board approval, met with outrage and resistance among certain students, families, and alumni of the University.[74] Using social networking sites and email, students promulgated the article to their families and friends, including several public figures who actively support UD. Organizations such as EWTN, The Catholic Tide, RealClearPolitics, The Ruth Institute, CatholicCulture.org, the Cardinal Newman Society, and the Knights of Columbus Texas State Council posted the story to their websites. Several Catholic news agencies ran investigative reports on the story, including the Catholic News Agency and the National Catholic Register.[75][76] The situation also attracted the attention of ABC affiliate WFAA Channel 8 News who interviewed President Keefe about the situation and asked him to clarify his "I would have punched them out" comment, made in reference to those who sent him angry emails about the School of Ministry faculty.[77] On March 22, 2011, The University News ran several pieces covering the situation that included remarks from both Dean Brian Schmisek and Patrick Fagan. Schmisek comments that "the idea that we are somehow heretical is so outrageous that it's really laughable." In the same article, Fagan issued his own response, stating that "the Chancellor who is also the local ordinary, his fellow bishop on the board, and the president have all put their reputations on the line that the school will be thoroughly Catholic...I trust them, and they have the grace of state."[78]

In response to the crisis, President Keefe has stated that "everything in the blog is being investigated" and that the issues will be dealt with.[79]
