Those universities established or approved by the Holy See, by the NCCB, by other hierarchical assemblies, or by individual diocesan bishops are to incorporate, by reference and in other appropriate ways, the general and particular norms into their governing documents and conform their existing statutes to such norms.

 USCCB - (Office of Media Relations) - U.S. Catholic Bishops' Conference Passes Ex Corde Application
By a vote of 223 to 31 with one abstention, the Catholic Bishops of the United States, meeting in General Assembly November 15-18, voted to send to the Holy See their application of Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the document issued by Pope John Paul II in 1990 which deals with Catholic institutions of higher education.
The bishops' document seeks to apply to Catholic higher education in the United States the themes and norms of Ex Corde Ecclesiae which fosters the Catholic identity of the Church's institutions of higher learning throughout the world.
In comments to the full body of Bishops and also after the vote, Bishop Leibrecht pointed out that the universities themselves are responsible for their Catholic identity; the application does not involve any Catholic institution of higher learning losing its proper autonomy in relationship to the diocesan bishop.

 Santa Clara University News and Information - Catholic Bishops Approve Proposals on Lay Workers
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a set of recommendations for lay workers in the church on Tuesday but did not publicly address a number of contentious issues at its meeting here this week.

 Congregation for Catholic Education
In many countries, the university meets with great difficulties in the effort for renewal that is constantly required by the evolution of society, the development of new sectors of knowledge, the demands of economies in crisis.
Another inescapable fact emerges: Whereas the university, by vocation, has a primary role to play in the development of culture, it is exposed in many countries to two opposing risks: either passively to submit to the dominant cultural influences or to become marginal in relation to them.
University pastoral action achieves better results when it is based on groups or movements and associations -at times, few in number but of high quality-that have the support of the dioceses and bishops' conferences.

 Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend
The Conference of Bishops and the diocesan bishops concerned have the duty and right of being vigilant that in those universities the principles of Catholic doctrine are faithfully observed.
In response to this, some Catholic colleges and universities have begun to increase the catechetical component of their institution and have recognized that the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" is far from elementary and is well suited to advanced courses in Christian doctrine on the college level.
Theologians and bishops, in spite of their different roles in the Church, are fundamentally allies because they are alike committed to maintain and explore the unfathomable riches of Christ, in whom alone is given the truth that makes us free.

 PetersNet: NCCB, U.S. Bishops' Draft Concerning the Application of Ex Corde Ecclesiae in the United States   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The communion of the teaching functions of the bishops and of the Catholic universities centers on the relationship between the bishops' right and obligation to communicate and safeguard the integrity of church doctrine and the right and obligation of Catholic universities to investigate, analyze and communicate truths freely in communion with the magisterium.
Furthermore, the communion between the bishop and the teacher of theology furnishes the basis for the proper understanding and application of the mandate of Canon 812.[5] The mandate simply attests that the Catholic teacher of the theological disciplines carries out his or her task in communion with the church.
The Catholic university is related to the entire ecclesial community,[10] to the broader society,[11] as well as to the higher education academy.[12] We are directing special attention to the relationship between the institutions and church authorities.

 Survey of American Bishops

 THE PRESENCE OF THE CHURCH IN THE UNIVERSITY
Finally, in some cases, the young university students are confronted with the prevalence of a relativistic liberalism, a scientific positivism and a certain pessimism caused by the insecurity of professional prospects in the current economic crisis.
A further aspect of the mission of the Catholic University is, finally, a commitment to dialogue between faith and culture, and the development of a culture rooted in faith.
University pastoral action achieves better results when it is based on groups or movements and associations—at times, few in numbers but of high quality—that have the support of the dioceses and Bishops' Conferences.

 The Catholic University of America
In 1986, Curran’s canonical mandate to teach at a Catholic university was withdrawn by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and he was subsequently fired by The Catholic University of America’s board of trustees.
Kevin Irwin, dean of Catholic University’s School of Theology and Religious Studies, all faculty members who are required to have the mandatum (“an acknowledgment by church authority that a Catholic professor of a theological discipline is teaching within the full communion of the Catholic church”) possess it.
The issues are familiar to all Catholic university presidents: to permit a pro-choice speaker to address a university assembly, to grant an honorary degree or podium to someone who at some point was less than pure in their articulation of Catholic teaching, to allow “The Vagina Monologues” to be performed on campus.

Every Catholic University, as a university, is an academic community which, in a rigorous and critical fashion, assists in the protection and advancement of human dignity and of a cultural heritage through research, teaching and various services offered to the local, national and international communities(14).
University teachers should seek to improve their competence and endeavour to set the content, objectives, methods, and results of research in an individual discipline within the framework of a coherent world vision.
Through this dialogue a Catholic University assists the Church, enabling it to come to a better knowledge of diverse cultures, discern their positive and negative aspects, to receive their authentically human contributions, and to develop means by which it can make the faith better understood by the men and women of a particular culture(36).

University Identity Crisis Kenneth D. Whitehead On the Feast of the Assumption in 1990, Pope John Paul II issued another in a long series of great documents - documents that in more than a few cases are likely to order and enhance the life of the Church for decades if not centuries to come.
And so the result is a bland bishops' committee "paper" that skirts the real issues raised by the obduracy of their academic interlocutors and sets forth instead a proposed "nonjuridical application" of norms belonging to the universal Church that essentially waives rather than applies these norms.
Bishop James T. McHugh of Camden, New Jersey, pointed out what we have also noted here, namely, that the focus on Canon 812 was misplaced: universities need to be Catholic, and their teaching needs to be in accord with the magisterium of the Church in more areas than just their theology departments.

 EX CORDE ECCLESIAE
Every Catholic University is to maintain communion with the universal Church and the Holy See; it is to be in close communion with the local Church and in particular with the diocesan bishops of the region or the nation in which it is located.
In the light of communion, the teaching responsibilities of the hierarchy and of the Catholic universities retain their distinctive autonomous nature and goal but are joined as activities contributing to the fulfillment of the Church's universal teaching mission.
The communion of the teaching functions of the bishops and of the Catholic universities centers on the relationship between the bishops' right and obligation to communicate and safeguard the integrity of Church doctrine and the right and obligation of Catholic universities to investigate, analyze and communicate truths freely in communion with the magisterium.

 USCCB - (Education) - Book describes how bishops, Catholic college leaders can collaborate
Several bishops stressed the importance of ongoing dialogue and involvement of the bishop in campus events to build a climate of trust, mutual understanding and shared vision.
The book, subtitled "Collaboration Among Catholic Bishops and University Presidents," was a project of the bishops and presidents subcommittee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Education.
She said other Catholic colleges and universities across the country could imitate many of the examples the presidents and bishops gave of collaborative initiatives through which the educational institutions put their resources to use for the benefit of the church locally or nationally.

The bishops' committee, to the extent that it realizes how serious the problem is, is understandably reluctant to acknowledge that this really is what the Catholic higher education establishment is saying or to recognize the stark implications of it.
And so the result is a bland bishops' committee "paper" that skirts the real issues raised by the obduracy of their academic interlocutors and sets forth instead a proposed "non-juridical application" of norms belonging to the universal Church that essentially waives rather than applies these norms.

 Fellowship of Catholic Scholars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
This is held by some to constitute an unwarranted "outside" interference in the institutional autonomy of a university, and this in turn is said to be unacceptable by current United States academic and university standards and practice.
For one thing, American universities regularly and routinely accept many requirements imposed from "outside"-- requirements established by local, state, and federal governments, by accrediting associations, by foundations and other funding entities or donors, by professional associations in fields such as engineering, medicine, law, nursing, the sciences, and so on.
The responsibility for maintaining the Catholic identity of the university rests with the institution itself, including especially its officers and board of directors/trustees, but also including its teachers and administrators; recruitment and engagement of them should accordingly be made with this as one of the principal ends in view.
