Editorial Policy
The University Concourse is an independent journal of opinion published at Franciscan University, Ave Maria University and related Catholic institutions of higher learning. These institutions share---besides numerous personal and historical ties---an unqualified commitment to the renewal of Catholic education as called for by our Holy Father, John Paul II, in Ex Corde Ecclesiae and Fides et Ratio.

We welcome submissions by members and friends of these academic communities on any topic of interest to a general university readership, provided they are courteously expressed and framed with a view to advancing the welfare of Ave Maria and Franciscan Universities, and/or Catholic culture are large.

Articles may be sent to e-mail address kvanschaijik@earthlink.net We recommend that articles be kept to fewer than 2,500 words. We will be glad to consider publishing opinions anonymously or under pennames, when doing so would seem to serve a worthwhile discussion. (In all cases the editors require the name and phone number of the author.)

The opinions expressed in the University Concourse are the authors' own, and not necessarily those of the editors, much less the administration, staff or faculties of FUS or AMU.
