With over 25 years of experience in higher education, Dr. Scott comes to his new role from National Louis University in Chicago, where he has been serving as vice president of undergraduate education and dean of the Undergraduate College.

The U.S. Justice Department has announced a settlement agreement with Highland Community College to resolve the department’s investigation into allegations that Black students experienced discriminatory treatment in many aspects of campus life, including discipline, housing, and interactions with campus security officers.

The lawsuit alleges Highland administrators sought to discourage Blacks from attending the school, intimidated Black student-athletes into leaving, and told coaches not to recruit African Americans.
