MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A vice president of Wheeling Jesuit University who is under investigation for his handling of federal money is retiring.

Wheeling Jesuit President Rick Beyer sent an email to alumni May 7 informing them that J. Davitt McAteer is leaving the school June 30 when his contract expires. The Associated Press obtained a copy.

Spokeswoman Michelle Rejonis couldn’t comment on whether it’s related to the probe.

Wheeling Jesuit says a 2008 independent investigation of its billing practices under federal grants and programs found no violations of laws or regulations.
