Biographical / Historical

In early August, 1985, Dr. John Minahan resigned from the position of Academic Vice President. To fill this office President Charles Currie, S. J., established the Interim Executive Academic Committee (IEAC) composed of Charles Cusick the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Roger Fortin, Associate Vice President for academic affairs, and Francis Mastrianna, Dean of the College of Business Administration. The triumvirate, or troika, as the IEAC was called, assumed the responsibilities assigned to the office of the Academic Vice President as specified in the XU Faculty Handbook. The Interim Executive Academic Committee was discontinued in the summer of 1986 when Dr. Robert Murray, professor of Classics, was appointed acting Academic Vice President for one year. In June 1987, Dr. Joan Connell became Academic Vice President. (Fortin's history of Xavier, pages 312 to 317) The committee assumed "the responsibilities assigned to the Office of the Academic Vice President in the Faculty Handbook, page 4". (Memo to Faculty and Administration from Charles L. Currie, S. J. dated August 29, 1985.)
