FFrank Pogue, a higher education consultant and the interim president at Chicago State University, was selected today as the interim president of Grambling State University.

Pogue has been in higher education around the country for 47 years, including 27 years in administrative positions.

He will succeed Horace Judson, who resigned at the end of October. Judson was at Grambling for five years.

The University of Louisiana System's board of supervisors voted unanimously to name Pogue -- who was president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
from 1996-2007 -- as Grambling's interim president. A nationwide search will be conducted before the board names a permanent president.

Pogue, who holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh, has taught at six college and universities. He will be paid $200,000 per year and will begin work at Grambling on Dec. 15.
