Derrick Rollins, diversity adviser to ISU President Martin Jischke's cabinet and former chairman of the program, said Grim is a solid choice. The African-American Studies Program, just a few years old, has never had a director. There is a big difference between and chair and a director. She has the respect of her peers and administrators. ISU officials said they hope a program director will help speed the implementation of an African-American studies major.
Students can now only earn an African-American studies minor.
