A University of Notre Dame professor has lost her defamation lawsuit against a group of independent conservative student journalists who reported on her pro-abortion activism at the Catholic institution.
The lawsuit was brought in May last year by Tamara Kay, a sociology professor, against The Irish Rover, an independent student newspaper styling itself as “upholding the Catholic character” of the university in South Bend, Indiana. The complaint centered around two Rover articles, which Ms. Kay claimed to contain “defamatory and false statements” about her public promotion of abortion.
