- The president of Jackson State University resigned Monday after he was arrested in a prostitution sting in central Mississippi. Within hours, the governing board for Mississippi’s eight public universities met and named another Jackson State administrator, Thomas Hudson, as interim president. Bynum had been president of Jackson State since 2017 after serving four years as president of Mississippi Valley State University. Among the other people arrested was Shonda McCarthy, director of the Jackson State University art galleries. The Associated Press left a message Monday with the communications office at Jackson State.
