I had the good fortune to meet Boston College Dean John Garvey some years ago. I was already (and remain) a big fan of his scholarship and was very impressed with what he was doing at BC. So I was delighted to learn (via
Caron) that John has been appointed President of Catholic University. As someone who thinks Catholic educational institutions should have a distinctive Catholic identity, I think CU made a great choice. John had a clear mission to make BC a catholic law school in spirit as well as name, so I am sure he will bring that same agenda to CU. I wish him well.
