The school says, Jonathan XV will replace Jonathan XIV who will retire.

Jonathan XIV will still continue to enjoy campus life.

A co-chair of APO's Husky Committee says in part that, "He'll enjoy watching his little brother take the reins on basketball games and other big, loud events. He'll still get plenty of excitement and playtime from his handlers and his family."
