Eastern Kentucky University board names Whitlock interim president

RICHMOND Ky.

Doug Whitlock, a former Eastern Kentucky University administrator, will be the school’s interim president while the university searches for a successor to Joanne Glasser.

Whitlock was vice president for administrative affairs from 1998 until he retired in 2003 and continued to teach computer science classes part time until 2006, the university said in a statement Monday.

The school’s board of regents selected him on Monday.

Glasser resigned last week to accept the job as president of Bradley University in Peoria, Ill.

From 1976 to 1998, Whitlock was executive assistant to the president. He had previously been director of publications and director of public information and taught in the Department of Mass Communications.
