After days of anticipation and speculation, President of Morgan State University, Earl Richardson, announced his retirement. See the Sun Article to learn more.
Dr. Richardson has served at the helm of Morgan for 24 years and will officially step down December 31, 2009. His tenure has been marked by strong growth for the university. It has also been marked by some controversy with surrounding schools, such as Towson and UMBC, as it fought the "unnecessary duplication" of programs as outlined in US v. Fordice. Dr. Richardson has argued for and successfully pursued increased and appropriate funding for the historically black institution.
Undoubtedly, his successor will have big shoes to fill in coming years.
