Tennessee State University taps Ronald A. Johnson as interim president

Outgoing TSU President Glenda Glover has served in the role since 2013 and is set to retire. The university's board announced Johnson's appointment during a special called virtual meeting on Wednesday evening. The meeting was not announced until Wednesday morning.

The move comes after the board, which held its first-ever meeting on April 26, took over after state lawmakers abruptly ousted the previous board after it narrowed a previous presidential search to three finalists. The new board decided to scrap the search and start over — and to appoint an interim.

The finalists in the previous board's search were Charles Gibbs, the now-former CEO of the national 100 Black Men of America, William E. Hudson, the vice president of student affairs at Florida A&M University, and Michael Torrence, the president of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee. It's not clear if the three will reapply.
