Rev. William J. Byron, S.J., a priest of the Society of Jesus, was the 12th president of The Catholic University of America as well as the president of the University of Scranton. From 2003-2004, Byron was also interim president of Loyola University New Orleans.

Fr. Byron was president from 2006-2008 at Saint Joseph's Preparatory School in Philadelphia, from which he himself graduated in 1945. He is now a professor and lives in residence at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia.

Fr. Byron has reacted against a Holy See attempt to re-assert control over Catholic universities in the United States in the constitution Ad Tuendam Fidem, stating that "Theology professors must explain and not proclaim the faith".
