The supervisor of Wisconsin's two-year colleges has been selected to lead Morgan State University.

Officials at the historically black school in Baltimore announced Thursday that David Wilson will replace Earl Richardson, who plans to step down at the end of June after 25 years.

Wilson, attended Tuskegee Institute -- now Tuskegee University -- in Alabama, and says historically black institutions hold a special place in his heart.

Wilson, a son of Alabama sharecroppers who earned a doctorate from Harvard, says he was impressed with Morgan's faculty and its production of African-American engineers and scientists. He says he plans to expand the university's doctoral programs.

Wilson will take the job officially on July 1.
