DePaul’s Board of Trustees has selected Father Holtschneider, 42, to serve the largest Catholic university in America as its 11th president, and he will assume his new responsibilities in July. The board will elect him at its May 20 meeting to succeed the Rev. John P. Minogue, C.M., DePaul’s president since 1993, who announced last October that he would step down in June.
