HOUSTON – Following the departure of former Texas Southern University President Dr. Austin Lane, all eyes are now on Kenneth Huewitt, who’s served as the university’s chief financial officer for the past three years.
Huewitt is ready, and feels his diverse background will give TSU and its watchful board exactly what is needed to maintain the dignity and integrity of the institution, which is the second largest of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).
African-American News&Issues spoke with Huewitt about plans for moving the university forward and care for its students during the pandemic.
Q: What do you say to critics who claim TSU students are lacking the skills needed for the workforce?
My college years were some of my best times, but I didn’t know it at the time, and I want to show our students the positive side of their TSU experience.
