Arlington Baptist College - Adminstration

Adminstration

After Norris died in 1952, Earl K. Oldham became the college's president in 1953. In the 1950s, the college's name was changed to Arlington Baptist College, and it was moved to its present location. In 1980, Wayne Martin was appointed president. Then in 1992 Dr. Wendell Hiers served as interim President until the appointment of David Bryant in 1993. The current president of the college, D.L. Moody, was appointed in 2009.

In May 2011, the college appointed Ergun Caner to be Provost, Vice President of Academic Affairs and a professor. Caner had been dean of the Liberty University seminary, but after questions were raised about his background, Liberty University investigated his background stating that "Dr. Caner has made factual statements that are self-contradictory . . . matters such as dates, names and places of residenceā€. According to a local news report, one unnamed faculty member at Arlington Baptist College said, "I find it reprehensible that the leadership of the Arlington Baptist College would hire a man who is very clearly profiteering from the tragedy of September 11."
