Organization
The governing body of the university is the school's independent Board of Trustees, headed by a Chairman.
The University's executive officer is the President. Prior to 2009, a prerequisite to serve as the University's president was membership in the Society of Jesus, however, the Board of Trustees voted to allow educators not a part of the Jesuit Order to become president. These changes were made at the recommendation of the American Assistancy of Jesuits, the collective body of Jesuits in the United States in response to the declining number of Jesuits as well as those prepared to serve as the president of a major university. See a list of past presidents.
The President is assisted by the Chancellor, Assistant to the President, Director Internal Audit, The Vice President for Mission and Ministry (under whose direction the Office of Campus Ministry and the Center for Ignatian Spirituality operates) and the Vice President for Intercultural Affairs.
The Executive Vice President & Provost reports directly to the President and oversees all campus operations.
The University Cabinet consists of: The President, Executive Vice President & Provost, Senior Vice President & Chief Academic Officer (under whose direction the Deans of the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts, College of Business Administration, College of Communication and Fine Arts, Seaver College of Science and Engineering, School of Education, School of Film and Television, and University Libraries operate), Senior Vice President for Administration, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President for Student Affairs, Senior Vice President for University Relations, and Senior Vice President Fritz B. Burns Dean of Loyola Law School.
The Jesuit Community is headed by a Rector (appointed by the Superior General of the Society of Jesus); the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary are led by local coordinator who report to the Provincial Superior of the Western American Province; and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange are led by a local superior who reports to the General Superior of the their congregation. Each of the three sponsoring religious communities is represented on the Board of Trustees.

As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
