Georgetown University is a private Jesuit research university located in Washington, D.C. that was founded in 1789. The president of the university is its chief executive officer and, until the 1960s, was also the rector of the university's Jesuit community. The president is charged with control over the "business affairs and properties" of the university, and appoints the vice presidents and administrators. To date, nearly all of the presidents have been Jesuits.
