BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A 36-year veteran administrator at public universities around the country has been named interim president at Grambling State University.
A committee of the University of Louisiana System's Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Monday to hire Frank Pogue, who most recently served as interim president at Chicago State University. He was president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania from 1996-2007.
Pogue, who holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh, will be paid $200,000 per year beginning Dec. 15.
Grambling has been without a president since Oct. 31, when former president Horace Judson resigned after five years.
