CoreCivic’s directors have elected the president of Tennessee State University to join them on the board of the prison management company.
Glenda Baskin Glover will join the CoreCivic board March 1, becoming the company’s 12th director and the fourth woman director. She has led TSU since the beginning of 2013, after serving as dean of its Jackson State University's college of business. Before that, Glover chaired the accounting department at Howard University.
“Creating life-changing educational opportunities for individuals in need is one of CoreCivic's most meaningful missions, and it is certainly a lifelong calling of Dr. Glover’s,” CoreCivic President and CEO Damon Hininger said in a statement that praised Glover for her "extraordinary combination of expertise in business, education and community leadership.”
