Jo Ann Rooney will be stepping down to focus on "some personal issues." Will be interesting to see who Loyola looks to as a replacement. https://www.chicagobusiness.com/educati ... leave-post |

No surprise. She was lost from day 1. She did the easy part of trimming costs and staff. The hard part is raising the money needed which she never had a track record of doing. I remember a Phoenix article when she was hired, that her number one goal was a campaign to raise 500MM. So she is leaving or pushed out. |

The school has done a very poor job capitalizing on the new found notoriety from the men's basketball team's success. Local universities like Villanova and Boston College rode athletic team success to become more "national" universities; Loyola, with beautiful campuses in a world-class city, should be in that category as well. It may be getting there, but perhaps too slowly. |

Fr. G was a tough act to follow, but Rooney never seemed to gain any traction. I wish the board good luck on the search. |
