The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees approved the employment of Nicholas Hill as dean and professor in the College of Business at Jackson State University.

President Ogletree introduced the personnel agenda item and said information about the appointment was included in the board book submitted to trustees. A motion to approve the item was made and seconded (the transcript records the second as "Cunningham"). The board voted by roll call; trustees recorded "aye" and the motion passed.

The meeting transcript contains no additional biographical details, contract terms, start date or salary for Nicholas Hill beyond the statement that the appointment information was included in the board materials. The transcript does not identify who moved the motion by name; Doctor Cunningham is recorded as the second. The board recorded unanimous approval on the personnel item.
