Jackson State University has named James Renick as its new interim provost.
Renick most recently served as senior adviser to JSU President Carolyn Meyers, said David Hoard, Jackson State’s vice president of institutional advancement.
The former provost, Mark Hardy, was reassigned Monday as special assistant for the academic fundraising initiative under Hoard’s supervision, Hoard said.
Renick previously served as senior adviser to the president at Central State University. Before that, he was senior vice president of the American Council on Education, chancellor at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University — where Meyers had served as provost — and chancellor of University of Michigan at Deerborn, Hoard said.
Hoard also came from North Carolina A&T, where he was a vice chancellor of development and university relations.
In other staff changes on Monday, JSU named Robin Pack as the new interim executive director of human resources, Hoard said. Referenced
