Notable & Quotable: Notre Dame, 1969.

In a letter to the University of Notre Dame community in 1969, Father Ted Hesburgh, the university president, emphasized the importance of open communication and dissent while maintaining civility and rationality. He warned that any individual or group resorting to force would be given a short period to cease their actions, and if they did not comply, they would face consequences such as suspension or expulsion. Father Hesburgh also addressed the misconception that university members are exempt from the law, asserting that everyone is responsible for upholding both the university's laws and those of the land.
