  • ... that in 2001, John J. DeGioia (pictured) became the first lay president of a Jesuit university in the United States?

  • Newness requirement satisfied by GA promotion on 3/4/21. Article is long enough and policy compliant. Earwig detected substantial similarities with two articles (42.9% and 41.5%) but a closer review seems to indicate that this is mostly due to lists of positions and awards. Hook is short enough, interesting and supported by in-line citation. QPQ requirement satisfied. Cbl62 (talk) 17:55, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
