On June 18th, Sam Houston State University named Dr. Alisa White, APSU\u2019s current president, as the only finalist in its presidential search. If confirmed by the Texas State University System Board of Regents, White will assume her new role at Sam Houston in early August.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral outstanding candidates were considered for the interim presidency and Dannelle was the board\u2019s consensus pick,\u201d Mike O\u2019Malley, chair of the APSU Board of Trustees, said. \u201cDannelle\u2019s background and experience makes her an excellent choice for this critical time in the University\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whiteside has served Austin Peay State University as Vice President for Legal Affairs, General Counsel and Secretary to the Board since 2017. Prior to coming to Austin Peay State University, Whiteside served as General Attorney for the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, General Counsel for the Tennessee State Board of Education and District Policy Advisor for Metro Nashville Public Schools.<\/p>\n

Whiteside received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, with honors and received her bachelor\u2019s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, graduating Summa Cum Laude.<\/p>\n

In addition to the selection of interim president, the board also announced a zero tuition increase for the 2020-21 academic year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that many of our students have been impacted financially in recent months due to COVID-19,\u201d Mitch Robinson, vice president for Finance and Administration, said. \u201cWe are doing all that we can to keep the cost of obtaining a degree as low as possible while not sacrificing educational quality. This is the second straight year that APSU has had the lowest tuition and mandatory fee increase of public universities in Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Austin Peay State University plans to return to face-to-face classes in the Fall, with classes beginning August 24th.<\/p>\n
