Acording the NYT:

"The University of Notre Dame will continue to allow a gay film festival and the play "Vagina Monologues" on campus, its president announced [last Wednesday]. The decision was a sharp turnaround from a speech that the president, the Rev. John I. Jenkins, gave to faculty members and students in January questioning the appropriateness of such events on a Roman Catholic campus"

....

"After hearing from hundreds of students, faculty members, alumni and administrators in the last 10 weeks, Father Jenkins said he saw "no reason to prohibit performances of 'The Vagina Monologues' on campus." The gay film festival will also continue."
