Many Notre Dame students were surprised Friday when they learned University President Father Edward Malloy will step down in 2005 and be replaced by Father John Jenkins. Sophomore Erica Williams said she didn’t expect the announcement, which was formally made at an afternoon press conference. “I never thought it would ever happen,” Williams said. “I thought the review of his per­ formance was kind of a farce.” “Honestly, I had no clue that he resigned,” sophomore Rebecca Eckstein said. But not all students were caught off-guard by the news. Junior Larry Banda said Malloy’s review had recently been a major topic of discussion among his co-workers at the First Year of Studies offices. “I think people saw it coming.” Banda said. “It didn’t come as a total surprise, especially at [the First Year of Studies], “It’ll be interesting to see someone step up and take the University in a new direction.” Freshman Molly Eyerman praised Malloy, but said she looks forward to Jenkins’ presidency. “[Malloy] has had a good run here, but it’il be good to get some new leadership in and see what [Jenkins] can do for the university.” Eyerman said. Many students, like senior Joe Friel, expressed hope that Jenkins, currently an associate provost, will make undergraduate education a focus of his administration. “There should be a commitment to undergrad­ MICHELLE OTTO/The Observer uate teaching,” Friel University President Father Edward Malloy listens to President-elect John Jenkins Friday afternoon.
