Loyola-Chicago has appointed Christine Wiseman, J.D. to be provost of the university. Of courts the press release speaks highly of Ms Wiseman and describes her new job thusly:
As chief academic officer, the Provost oversees teaching, learning, research, and academic services; formulates general academic policies for the University; and promotes quality in undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies. Academics and research are administered by the Division of Academic Affairs, which provides leadership and strategic direction to the University's academic departments, schools, and programs in support of Loyola's mission.
In order to do all that she has to be smarter than many of the 20,000 Jesuit priests roaming the world, John McLaughlin, for instance.
Despite her skills, she could never become a priest because she’s a woman. There’s no simple explanation of why this should be so. Defenders of banning women quickly descend into mumbo jumbo.
