Quenton White
Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Quenton White has applied to become the next president of Southern University in Baton Rouge, La., his alma mater. White, who was appointed to the position by Gov. Phil Bredesen in January 2003, said yesterday in an interview that he had applied for the president's job at the request of a Southern University official.
"In the course and scope of one's life, very seldom does the opportunity come to hold a job that you covet," White said. " Because of my love for the university, and a vision I have always had for the heights that the university could achieve, I believe I would be an excellent leader."
Uh huh...
