University of Notre Dame President John Jenkins, who was at a White House event last Saturday, has tested positive for COVID-19.
According to student newspaper The Observer, Jenkins has been self-quarantining since his trip to Washington for the Rose Garden nomination ceremony for President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett. A Notre Dame Law School alumna, professor, and member of the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Barrett is set to fill the vacancy left by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
