Burse named president of KSU - Mike Wynn, The Courier-Journal

The interim president of Kentucky State University, who took a pay cut this summer to benefit low-wage workers, has signed on to head the school for an additional three years. Raymond Burse, a retired corporate officer and general counsel at General Electric, was installed by the KSU Board of Regents on Friday as the 14th president of the only historically black university in Kentucky. Burse stepped in as a one-year interim on July 1, following the retirement of former President Mary Evans Sias. Under the new deal, he will remain at the helm through summer 2018. http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/education/2014/10/24/burse-named-president-ksu/17859943/
