Howard University names Ben Vinson III its next president. He is a scholar of the African diaspora and a veteran academic leader.
University officials say Howard is now on sound footing, with an improved credit rating and secure standing in the higher education market. U.S. News & World Report ranks it 89th among national universities, tied with schools including the University of California at Riverside, the University of Delaware and Brigham Young University.
Laurence C. Morse, chair of the board, said the appointment of Vinson followed an “exhaustive and thorough” year-long search. He was one of two finalists, Morse said, declining to name the other. Morse called Vinson “a very collaborative and empowering leader, a bridge builder, a culture builder.” As a scholar, Vinson developed expertise in Latin America. One of his recent books explored race and caste systems in colonial Mexico. He is working on another about jazz and the African diaspora.
