Dr. David Wilson Dr. David Wilson, the 12th president of Morgan State University, has a long record of accomplishment and more than 30 years of experience in higher education administration. Dr. Wilson holds four academic degrees: a B.S. in political science and an M.S. in education from Tuskegee University; an Ed.M. in educational planning and administration from Harvard University and an Ed.D. in administration, planning and social policy, also from Harvard. He came to Morgan from the University of Wisconsin, where he was chancellor of both University of Wisconsin Colleges and the University of Wisconsin–Extension. Before that, he held numerous other administrative posts in academia, including: vice president for University Outreach and associate provost at Auburn University, and associate provost of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Dr. Wilson’s tenure as Morgan’s president, which began on July 1, 2010, already has been characterized by great gains for the university. Among the many highlights: a record one-year enrollment increase during the 2010–11 academic year; procurement of the university’s largest-ever research contract, a $28.5-million, five-year contract from NASA; inclusion of Morgan as one of the recipients of a $129-million energy innovation research grant to Penn State University; the launch of an aggressive initiative to maintain excellence in customer service and improve the information technology infrastructure on campus; new construction on campus valued at $234 million; signing of articulation agreements with several two-year colleges, bringing Morgan bachelor’s degrees to their campuses; approval of Morgan’s first off campus baccalaureate program by the State of Maryland; establishment of Morgan’s first online degree program; a significant expansion of study abroad opportunities for Morgan students and the continuation of Morgan’s tradition of producing Fulbright Scholars: two students and one professor in 2011. Dr. Wilson has authored 2 books and more than 20 articles published in scholarly journals. Among the many honors and recognitions he has received for his work: he was named one of the nation’s top 100 leaders in higher education by the American Association of Higher Education in 1998, was selected as one of The Daily Record newspaper’s Influential Marylanders for 2011, and was honored by the University of Alabama with an award for outstanding leadership in engaged scholarship in April 2011. Dr. Wilson serves on the Boards of Directors of the Greater Baltimore Committee and the United Way of Central Maryland and on the Governing Board of the Maryland Longitudinal Data System Center. He is a member of the Maryland Humanities Council — appointed by Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley — and the P-20 Leadership Council of Maryland. In February 2010, President Barack Obama appointed him to his 11-member Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Dr. Wilson’s achievements as leader of Maryland’s Public Urban University have clearly been strong, but it is the character he brings to the presidency, a character shaped by the intangibles of his background, that is perhaps most impressive of all. Dr. Wilson grew up with ten siblings on a sharecropper farm outside the small town of McKinley, Ala. Through hard work, tenacity and the encouragement of his father and his teachers, he became the first person in his family to attend college. Dr. Wilson’s educational philosophy is to put the students’ experience first. As a leader, he is a consensus builder and a strong believer in transparency of process. His goal is to make Morgan a leader in producing the next wave of innovators in the U.S. www.morgan.edu/office_of_the_president/biography.htmlDr. Wilson's Inaugural Address Attachments:

Dr. Julianne Malveaux A respected labor economist, noted author, and colorful commentator, Dr. Julianne Malveaux has long been recognized for her progressive and insightful observations. The 15th president of Bennett College, America's oldest historically black college for women, Malveaux has been hailed by Dr. Cornel West as "the most iconoclastic public intellectual in the country." Armed with a PhD. in economics from MIT, Malveaux is shaping public opinion in 21st century America through her contributions to the public dialogue on issues such as race, culture, gender, and their economic impacts. Well-versed in today's economic issues, Malveaux offers expert analysis on economic events such as "the great recession" and their impact on minority communities and public policy. Malveaux has been the architect of exciting and innovative transformations at Bennett. Under her leadership, the college's administration has identified four key focus areas: women’s leadership, entrepreneurship, excellence in communications, and global awareness. During her presidency, the college has successfully received a 10-year reaffirmation of its accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, markedly improved existing facilities, embarked on a $21 million capital improvements program — which marked the first major campus construction in more than 25 years — and in fall 2009 enjoyed an historic enrollment high. Moreover, the campus is alive and invigorated with a new sense of purpose and passion, as the Bennett College community embraces its commitment to create an oasis where women are educated, celebrated, and transformed into 21st century leaders and global thinkers. Malveaux has served on the faculty or visiting faculty of the New School for Social Research, San Francisco State University, the University of California-Berkley, College of Notre Dame, Michigan State University, and Howard University. She holds honorary degrees from Sojourner Douglas College, Marygrove College, University of the District of Columbia, and Benedict College. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics at Boston College. College Shine - Dr. Julianne Malveaux Interview — NC NOW | Julianne Malveaux, Ph.D/ President, Bennett College for Women | UNC-TV She is very qualified, but I heard her say that she was no longer interested in being a university president.....I don't care to hire anyone that is not interested.

The next president must be recruited to Grambling... A simple search will not be sufficient at this point.
We will need a group of alumni, with high notoriety, to guide this endeavor. If these (peculiar) circumstances don't give birth to a component alum that can bring us all together, we will see the demise of GSU.

They guy from Alcorn should never be considered. He can't handle Alcorn. Alcorn State's president stepping down JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) - Alcorn State University President M. Christopher Brown is resigning amid an investigation into university purchasing practices. On Thursday afternoon, Dr. Hank Bounds announced Brown was stepping down. (Read his entire statement here) Bounds, the IHL Commissioner, says Brown submitted his letter of resignation, on his own; that he was not asked to do so. Bounds says a continuing investigation into purchasing practices has already led to the resignation of two other Alcorn employees. He says the College Board has turned over its findings to state Auditor Stacey Pickering and the state Ethics Commission. That's an indication that the problems could lead to civil or criminal penalties against those involved. Norris Edney will serve as interim president of ASU during the transition period. Edney is currently a member of the faculty "We're committed to moving quickly to find the next president of Alcorn State University," Bounds said. www.msnewsnow.com/story/24266057/ihl-holds-press-conference-about-president?utm_source=buffer&utm_campaign=Buffer&utm_content=buffer67a43&utm_medium=twitter
