Ronald A. Johnson was chosen for the interim role by KSU regents on Monday, media outlets reported. Johnson is a former president of Clark Atlanta University, a private historically black university in Atlanta.
"We will be looking forward to working with Dr. Johnson as a board, and we will have more to say about that in the immediate future," KSU Board of Regents Chair Gerald Patton said.
