Jonathan Sanford became the 10th president of the University of Dallas (UD) in March. He was hired in 2015 as dean of UD’s Constantin College after 13 years of teaching at Franciscan University of Steubenville.  In 2018 he became provost, during which time he oversaw the development of the university’s strategic plan to shore up academic excellence, the school’s reputation, and community and Church involvement.  Sanford holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Buffalo in New York, a postdoctoral fellowship from Fordham University, and a B.A. in classical languages and philosophy from Xavier University. He and his wife, Rebecca, a registered nurse, have nine children. He discussed his new role in an Aug. 16 phone interview with the Register.
