Chicago (Sept. 25, 2007) – Saint Xavier University Provost Dominick Hart has announced that he will retire at the end of the current academic year.Hart joined Saint Xavier in 2003 as dean for the School of Arts and Sciences, now the College of Arts and Sciences. In 2004, he was appointed interim vice president for Academic Affairs and was appointed provost in fall 2005.
