91³Ô¹Ïs president from 1987 to 2005, Father Malloy also serves on the boards of the University of Portland, University of St. Thomas, Vanderbilt University, 91³Ô¹Ï and the University of 91³Ô¹Ï Australia.
Father Malloy was appointed to the 91³Ô¹Ï faculty in 1974 and is a professor of theology.

He is the recipient of 24 honorary degrees, and a chaired professorship in Catholic studies at Vanderbilt is named in his honor.
