The University of Memphis’ board of trustees has named Bill Hardgrave as the school’s new president. The announcement was made Tuesday. Hardgrave comes to the Tennessee school from Auburn University, where he served as provost, senior vice president for academic affairs, and dean of the business college over a 11-year period. In 2013, Hardgrave secured a $40 million donation for Auburn, which was the largest donation to the university at the time. He replaces M. David Rudd, who will be leaving his position in May to return to the faculty.
