Presence within the Mission of the University:

The role of security is paramount to the State. Vast sums are dedicated to this purpose, and the choices made in security policies affect the destinies of generations. A university engaged in Catholic liberal arts education should be able to speak with a certain voice in this arena. The Roman Catholic Church has spoken on this topic for centuries; the American Catholic Church has been a major contributor to this dialogue since the 1920s and produced some of the leading scholarship on the role of force since then. As an international university sponsored by an international congregation we seek to educate informed, critical thinkers on this topic who will be able to project core values into this forum. As St. Augustine wrote: "The purpose of all wars, is peace."
