WHEELING, W.Va. -- Wheeling Jesuit University will have a new president on July 1.
The school announced Thursday that the Rev. James J. Fleming has been appointed to fill the post.
Current President Richard Beyer has decided not to seek a second term. He's held the job since 2010.

He then became chief of staff and last year became executive vice president.
A native of Lowell, Mass., he'd spent the previous 10 years with Boston College.
