  • Resignations John J. DeGioia, president of Georgetown University, will step down and return to the faculty after suffering a stroke in June. Henry C. Foley, president of the New York Institute of Technology, will step down in June 2025. Jerry Balentine, provost and executive vice president, will succeed him as president.

The article from The Chronicle of Higher Education discusses significant leadership changes at two prominent universities. Marquette University has appointed Kimo Ah Yun as its new president, effective immediately. Ah Yun, previously the provost at Marquette, steps into the role following the retirement of Michael R. Lovell, who had been president since 2014. Meanwhile, Georgetown University's President John J. DeGioia has announced his decision to step down after serving for 24 years, making him one of the longest-serving university presidents in the U.S. DeGioia's tenure has been marked by significant growth and development at Georgetown. The transitions at both institutions highlight shifts in leadership at a time when universities are navigating complex issues including financial stability, enrollment challenges, and the evolving landscape of higher education.
