American University Inauguration Is Today
Cornelius M. Kerwin will be inaugurated today as the 14th president of American University, marking a new era at the private school of more than 11,000 students in Northwest Washington.
Kerwin first came to the university as a freshman 40 years ago. He began working at AU in 1975 as an assistant professor of political science and was chief academic officer from 1997 to 2005.
He served as acting and then interim president after the ouster of Benjamin Ladner, who was forced to resign in 2005 after an investigation into his spending of university money.
Kerwin will oversee a $400 million budget and $400 million endowment. He is conducting a national search for a provost.
