Catholics, who believe that Jesus rose from the dead and in the Life everlasting, should have no problem dealing with social justice. Those of us who listened to the priests and brothers who sought to introduce us to the Church’s traditional teachings on social justice so many years ago would also know that it involves much more than a living wage, but the proper governance of all relations between employer and employed and the rich and poor.
Far too often, libertarians treat the labor of the poor as merely a commodity for sale at whatever price the market offers, instead of an aspect of their God-given humanity, possessing a far greater intrinsic value than any mere material object.
If the teachings of the Church on personal morality are to be followed and enforced with enthusiasm, so should those on social justice. I might have left the Church years ago if it weren’t for my undying hope that someday Catholics might take those teachings seriously.

Scanlon ‘eternally grateful’ for time at Western
Outgoing president will return to East Coast

Dr. Jim Scanlon is Irish, Catholic and spiritual. So it’s not surprising that he believes God has a hand in his good fortune.
“And I’m eternally grateful that providential design has me
here — best place I’ve been,” the retiring president of
He makes his final Western-related public appearance today
at an alumni association function in
Being back on the East Coast brings Dr. Scanlon’s life full circle.
Born and raised in
“There is a very poetic strain in the Irish — a strong interest in literature and poetry,” he said of his path in education that led to a doctorate in English literature.
In a house full of Irish women (and a younger brother), Dr. Scanlon learned one truth: “It was never a question in my mind after that experience that women and men are equals,” he said. “They were strong, capable women.”
He paid his way through Manhattan College, taking the subway to jobs in neighboring boroughs, studying in his spare time and
eventually earning a graduate
position at an Ivy League school —
Dr. Scanlon came to Western, his fifth university in a nearly 40-year career, to fill the vacant president’s seat in 2001. Under his watch, Western earned its university designation, garnered more than $10 million in private donations and saw campus building improvements and additions. He also established the foundation of the new American regional university, a phrase he coined that describes a university steeped in applied learning and community involvement.
In the final week of his presidency, the university released findings that suggest three athletes were given a total of more than $1,000 cash, which is in violation of NCAA rules. Asked if the event would mar his legacy, Dr. Scanlon said, “No. Not at all.”
“The forthright and thorough way the university dealt with this demonstrates the university’s integrity,” he responded. “Western is an institution of integrity.”
Former president Dr. Janet Gorman Murphy’s retirement,
announced in 1999, was followed by a fruitless round of searches for a successor.
Finally, the governing board came across Dr. Scanlon, a provost at
“Shakespeare helps us understand human motivation, how humans interact in a way that is very helpful when you work with people,” he said.
Taking questions about his retirement, Dr. Scanlon’s eyes, on occasion, well with tears. But it’s not in thinking about his nearly four decades in education that provokes the water works.
“The people make it most difficult to leave,” he explained
of leaving the students, faculty, and staff at Western and residents of
Dr. Scanlon, 64, asked a retired friend some time back how he knew when it was time to retire. The friend replied, “You just know.”
“I think about a year or so ago, I think I just knew,” Dr. Scanlon said.
Karen Elifrits, Dr. Scanlon’s executive associate, has worked side by side with him for the past seven years. She described Dr. Scanlon as a “what you see is what you get” kind of guy who hasn’t changed since Day 1.
“He taught me that everyone is equal,” she said. “He always said, from the custodian on up, he values everyone. He values people, and that’s his greatest strength.”
Though his doctorate is in English literature, Dr. Scanlon
loves to read mysteries. As he relaxes at his beach home in
“God only knows if they’ll ever be published,” he said of the novels he plans to pen. “But that isn’t a critical factor, in my point of view.”
Retirement, he said, will allow the Scanlons to “reconnect” with family on the East Coast. Birthdays will no longer be celebrated through the phone lines.
“This is a wonderful life,” he said, “but it doesn’t go on forever.”
