Education
John H. Garvey attended the University of Notre Dame where he received an A.B. in 1970. He was candidate for a Master of Theological Studies degree at Harvard Divinity School (1970-71), and then entered the Harvard Law School, where he earned a Juris Doctor in 1974.
Career
Garvey was law clerk to Irving R. Kaufman, United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit from 1974 to 1975, associate of Morrison & Foerster, San Francisco, California, from 1975 to 1976, assistant to solicitor general, United States Department of Justice, from 1981 to 1984, professor at the University of Kentucky College of Law from 1976 to 1994, visiting professor at the University of Michigan Law School from 1985 to 1986, professor at the Notre Dame Law School from 1994 to 1999 and dean of Boston College Law School from 1999 to 2010.
Criticisms
In September 2009 Garvey joined 75 fellow Boston College Law faculty members in a letter denouncing the actions of faculty member Scott Fitzgibbon and stating that his defence of man/woman marriage was his personal opinion and not the teaching of the Law School. This has lead to articles in Catholic Culture criticizing his later apointment as president of CUA.[2]
Garvey has also been criticized for allowing pro-abortion speakers at Boston College Law School.[3]
President of CUA
June 15, 2010, John H. Garvey was appointed CUA’s 15th president effective July 1, 2010.[4]
