Adrian Dominican order

Their mission: We Adrian Dominican Sisters discover and identify ourselves as women called together to share faith and life with one another and sent into our world to be with others bearers and recipients of his love co-creators of his justice and peace.

Their vision: Impelled by the gospel and outraged by the injustices of our days seek truth, make peace, reverence life. Stirred by the wisdom of God and rooted in our contemplative prayer, communal study and life in community, we challenge heresies of local and global domination, exploitation, and greed that privilege some dehumanize others, and ravage earth. We comfort our racist attitudes and root our racist practices in our lives and systems. We comfort systems were women are denied freedom, equality, and full person hood. We walk in solidarity with people who are poor and challenge structures that impoverish them. We practice non-violent peacemaking. We promote lay leadership and shared decision for a renewed Church. We live right relationships with Earth community. We claim the communal authority and responsibility of our Dominican heritage. We commit our lives to live this vision.

The Adrian Dominican order goes back to St Dominic in the 13th Century. Main campus located in Michigan in the Diocese of Lansing called Motherhouse, which belongs to the Catholic belief. They are located in six different countries (Haiti, Italy, Canada, South Africa, China, and the Dominican Republic), in 31 different States, and Puerto Rico.

Besides preaching the word of God, Adrian Dominican sisters are educators, physicians, nurses, lawyers, administrators, and many more.

The Adrian Dominican Sister’s campus is located in Adrian Michigan, several miles from Lake Erie. The Weber retreat center is also located in the Adrian Sisters campus. This center is known worldwide as a spiritual retreat with special theology and personal development programs.

That's all very nice and I'm sure it would be great in an article about the Adrian Dominican sisters. But this is an article about Barry University so this material is not terribly relevant. On that basis, I've removed it. Please discuss if you feel differently. --ElKevbo 20:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

The Adrian Dominican Sisters founded Barry University, I think this information is relevent as it highlites most of the principles the university was founded upon. Thus I have decided to post it as a subsection of the History section. I'm open to further discussion if anyone objects.--Jutland86 22:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I object. There may be some relevant bits that are appropriate for the Barry University article but most of it does not belong here. If there is an Adrian Dominican Sisters article, I think it perfectly appropriate to include a link to that article in this one. If there is not, this information would make a fine start (with appropriate references, of course) for that article. --ElKevbo 22:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok. What about the second to last paragraph, I think it should be included as a subsection to History. BTW, who wrote the section about the Adrian Dominican Sisters? Thanks! --Jutland86 22:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's terribly relevant to Barry. You might want to try working it in there to see how it looks - I'm happy to let it sit out there for a while and see what others think since it seems that I may be the only one who holds this opinion. --ElKevbo 23:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Pictures

Fair enough! We'll see if it fits. I'm glad people are finally taking an interest in this article, it's been a stub FOREVER!!!! --Jutland86 23:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:St. Dominic shield.png

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

Notable grads

All grads need boldfacing removed per WP:MOS. The boldfacing tends to overemphasize grads over Barry. The intent is to highlight Barry.

All grads need grad year or, if they didn't graduate, their years of attendance. Student7 (talk) 19:26, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Qualifying info on race

To get the figures to come out to 100% even, an editor notes that Hispanics are of any race. But actually, these are people who define themselves as neither black nor white, so they are of "no" race other than Hispanic. The well-meant qualifier seems confusing.Student7 (talk) 23:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

"Hispanic" is an ethnicity, not a race. Most Hispanics do indeed claim a race, often white. --ElKevbo (talk) 23:20, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
