Henderson State President Resigns

Henderson State University President Glen Jones announced he will resign as president, effective immediately. Jones has served as university president since March 2012.

Jones, a 1992 graduate of Henderson State, plans to return to campus as a professor in August 2020.

Elaine Kneebone, General Counsel for Henderson State University, will serve as acting president until an interim search is completed.

The Board of Trustees also approved a contract for Arkansas State University to provide financial, internal audit, information technology, institutional research, and legal support services.

Jones will be on sabbatical through the end of the fiscal year.
