TUSKEGEE, Ala. – A team of consultants that offers their networks, perspectives, and broad ranges of search experiences will work with the Board of Trustees at Tuskegee University to help select the next man or woman to lead the historically black university.
On Saturday, Jan. 18 the board had chosen AGB Search to begin a national search for candidates for the Tuskegee top job after former president Dr. Gilbert L. Rochon announced his resignation last October—following a string of other HBCU presidents to resign or to be fired from office.
