Search team in place for successor to fired Wheeling Jesuit U. president.
Board of Directors Chairman Bill Fisher says two employees, one student and one community representative will help five board members choose candidates to replace Julio Giulietti.
Otherwise, mum’s the word:
Fisher said Monday he’s still not at liberty to discuss the nature of the board’s concerns. But he says Giulietti is to return to New England for consultation about a new ministry and assignment.
The directors have endorsed the all-Jesuit trustees’ decision to oust Giuletti, having earlier not ousted him for lack of a 2/3 vote to do so.
Not surprisingly, the Maryland Province provincial also endorsed it. West Va. is in that province. And the New England provincial, Giuletti’s superior, “has asked Giulietti to return to New England for discernment regarding a new ministry and assignment,” according to the [Charleston] State Journal.
This man is Myles Sheehan, S.J., M.D., who was based at Loyola Hospital and was Cardinal Francis George’s physician until his recent appointment as provincial.
Meanwhile, two directors had resigned as of 8/28,
Lynda C. Wolford, C.P.A., Director of Internal Audit and Management Analysis at Georgetown University for 12 yrs, and Rudolph L. DiTrapano, Esq., one of the very few lawyers listed in The Best Lawyers of America,
according to the “Save! Wheeling Jesuit University” website created to protest Giulietti’s firing.
Also, a students’ FaceBook group has been formed in his support.
