| Summary: | Sociologist and academic administrator Joyce Ladner was born October 12, 1943 in Battles, Mississippi. Ladner earned her B.A. degree from Tougaloo College in 1964 and her Ph.D. degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1968. After teaching in several colleges around the country, Ladner became a professor at Howard University where she served as vice president of academic affairs beginning in 1990. In 1994, she was named interim president, the first woman to hold that position at Howard. President Bill Clinton appointed her to the District of Columbia Financial Control Board in 1995 to oversee budgetary restructuring of the public school system. A senior fellow in the governmental studies program at the Brookings Institution, Ladner authored several books and remained active in civic and professional organizations, including the Council on Foreign Affairs and the American Sociological Association. After retiring in 2003, Ladner started the Ladner Report blog in 2008.
