The Donovan Reading Room of Elizabeth M. Cudahy Memorial Library at Loyola is home to a mural titled “New Lands Explored and Evangelized by Fathers of the Society of Jesus”, with depictions of early Jesuit activity in the Great Lakes region. This mural will be updated over the next five years due to students’ concerns about the painting’s contrasting alignment with Loyola’s values. How does the university plan to enact these changes? What do students and the Loyola community think about this mural, and it’s location in a popular study spot on campus?
On this week’s episode of The Byline, a joint project between The Phoenix and WLUW 88.7, host and engagement editor Dana Prodoehl is joined by writer Megan Gauthier to discuss these questions and more.
