Jackson State University received a $30,000 donation to establish a scholarship in honor of the late Senator Douglas Anderson. The announcement was made during the Senator Douglas Anderson Memorial Highway dedication ceremony by former Hinds County Administrator Anthony Brister as he announced the donation to JSU Acting President Elayne Hayes-Anthony, Ph.D.

“We appreciate this extremely gracious and thoughtful gesture. We want to thank you on behalf of ‘Thee I Love’ Jackson State and the students who will gain so much from this scholarship,” said Hayes-Anthony. “Our students need and want the help and this is something Doug Anderson would really truly enjoy.”

Several members of Anderson’s family, including his wife Josephine Anderson and daughter Jackie Anderson Woods, were present for the unveiling of the Senator Douglas Anderson Memorial Highway sign to be seen on Interstate 220 North. The stretch of interstate beginning at the Highway 49 intersection in Jackson, Mississippi, and extending a mile North will now pay honor to the late senator.

Only JSU alum on IHL board votes against allowing acting president to apply for permanent role​

Aslim majority of the governing board for Mississippi’s eight public universities voted to allow Elayne Hayes-Anthony, Jackson State University’s temporary acting president, to apply for the permanent role.

According to executive session minutes released Wednesday, seven trustees voted for the motion and five voted against, including Dr. Steven Cunningham, the only Jackson State alumnus on the board and the trustee who is leading the university’s presidential search.

Cunningham, a Hattiesburg-based radiologist, told Mississippi Today that he didn’t want to dissuade outside candidates from applying for the role. In recent years, the IHL board has tended to hire interim presidents instead of conducting a full-blown national search at the state’s universities.

“I just didn’t want anybody to be scared off,” Cunningham told Mississippi Today.

Jackson State University’s Executive Ph.D. Program attracts leaders with Divine Nine roots​

As Jackson State University’s prominent Executive Ph.D. in Urban Higher Education (EPHD) program approaches 20 years of developing transformative leaders, members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and Kappa Alpha Psi National Fraternity, Inc. are well represented as current graduate students in the program. Although not created by design, Executive Director Walter A. Brown, Ed.D., said the program has attracted students from various service organizations, including Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. over the years.

“Once the cohort is formed, it generates an even stronger bond among those who are members of certain organizations – fraternities and sororities. It tends to strengthen the work ethic within the cohort and the ability to work with one another because the program is intense and extremely taxing,” said Brown, who is a 50-year member of Kappa Alpha Psi.

The two-year intensive EPHD program is designed to prepare individuals for senior-level positions at various entities: academia, corporate, governmental, non-governmental or nonprofit.

JSU years away from solving housing needs but working on it​

It will likely be years before Jackson State University secures enough funding to fix its housing shortage as efforts are underway to seek legislative support in the absence of a deep-welled endowment.

The university is estimated to lack 1,600 beds, according to the new director of campus operations.

Jackson State’s funding needs, which appears to be the largest bond request any university submitted to the Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees, totals more than $136 million for water infrastructure improvements, renovation of a dorm that’s been offline for two years, and the construction of a new residence hall, according to budget documents.

Some of that money has already been granted to Jackson State, but it’s unclear how much. Last year, the university got $15 million in legislative funding mainly for repairs and renovations.

The total amount of state support that Jackson State has received in the last 10 years is a little more than $56 million, according to the university.

There are manifold reasons for this gap between Jackson State’s financial need and the amount of money the historically Black university can realistically expect to receive in state funding, according to lawmakers and university officials.

Those include but are not limited to the continuation of historical underfunding, an anti-Jackson bias, the university’s recent presidential turnover and the relative lack of Jackson State alums at the Capitol who can independently advocate for the university outside the system-wide lobbying efforts undertaken by IHL.

“Anything that had the word ‘Jackson’ leading into a request was looked at with askance,” said Sen. John Horhn, D-Jackson. “Unfortunately I think the university may have been victimized by association.”

How long must JSU wait? We are growing but IHL and the Legislature is not stepping up to fast track housing. This could dissuade students and their families from choosing JSU. I know they don’t want that to happen!?

The Jackson State University College of Education and Human Development’s Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education (EECE) has been awarded the inaugural Science of Reading and Excellence award by the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE). JSU is the first and only public university to receive this award in the state.

“This exclusive recognition highlights our school’s efforts to implement the best practices aligned with the science of reading and to ensure that our students enter their careers prepared to exercise these practices,” said Jerri Haynes, Ed.D., dean of the College of Education and Human Development.

Earlier this year, the EECE department received an A+ distinction from the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) for going above and beyond the standards set by literacy experts for coverage of the most effective methods of reading instruction.
