Robert Jennings, was named the 13th president of Lincoln University of Pennsylvania last week. Jennings previously served four years as president at Alabama A&M University.
Lincoln University, considered one of the nation's oldest historically black universities in the nation, has an enrollment of about 2,500 graduate and undergraduate students.
He will replace Ivory Nelson, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
Jennings served at Alabama A&M from 2005-08.
By a vote of 7-1, Jennings was fired by the A&M board of trustees for a series of alleged misdeeds - including not following school procedure in hiring a former assistant and paying the assistant for time spent away from campus.
While at AAMU he is credited with raising $4 million for scholarships and the school's endowment, a first for a AAMU president. He previously held positions at Wake Forest University in NC.
Jennings denied the charges and sued the board. That lawsuit was dismissed because the board has immunity from lawsuits.
Last year, he was a finalists to become president at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.
Jennings will begin work in January 2012
