"The old version listed a value called 'leadership in mission,' described as an employee 'understands, accepts and supports the Catholic mission of the university.' The new version includes values like 'community,' 'collaboration,' 'excellence' and 'innovation' and leaves 'leadership in mission' out. However, the values list is prefaced by the statement, 'In all that we do, we seek to advance Notre Dame's mission as a global Catholic research university to be a force for good in the world.'"
"The university's vice president for human resources, Heather Christophersen, told Notre Dame's student newspaper, The Observer, that the new values 'might not say specific mission-related words,' but 'trying to weave them throughout was our goal.' The Catholic mission is 'in everything we do,' she continued. 'We strive to be the best global Catholic research institution, to be a force for good.'"
Notre Dame revised its staff values, replacing a previous 'leadership in mission' item that described an employee as one who 'understands, accepts and supports the Catholic mission of the university.' The new values list features 'community,' 'collaboration,' 'excellence' and 'innovation' and omits 'leadership in mission,' while prefacing the list with: 'In all that we do, we seek to advance Notre Dame's mission as a global Catholic research university to be a force for good in the world.' Human resources leadership said the language might not use mission-specific words but that the Catholic mission is woven throughout. A university statement emphasized that the Catholic mission is unchanged and that staff conversations led to the reformulation.
