1962-1981 President, Levi Watkins
No full textLevi Watkins was appointed president on Oct. 1, 1962. Alongside the students and faculty of Alabama State, Watkins wanted to be prepared to redefine the college’s mission by helping it receive accreditation by SACS, by upgrading the faculty and instructional programs, and by helping it become a prestigious institution that would serve a desegregated society. Accreditation was granted in 1966 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. During this time, sixteen air conditioned structures were erected and six buildings were renovated.
On June 26, 1969, Alabama State College was granted university status by the State Board of Education. A separate board of trustees was authorized by the Alabama State Legislature in Oct. 1975.
Watkins was the primary architect of the Knight v. Alabama case that started in 1981. The judge ruled that vestiges of discrimination remained in Alabama’s higher education system. This case sought to equalize the funding for the state’s two HBCUs, Alabama State University and Alabama A & M University, with the state’s white universities.
Watkins was born in Montgomery, Kentucky in 1911 to Adam and Sallie Watkins. He was one of seven children. He later married Lillian Varnado of Canton, Ms. He and his wife had six children: Levi Jr., Donald, James, Annie Marie, Pearl and Doristine. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Tennessee A & I State University, and M.A. from Northwestern University. He received an honorary doctorate degree from Daniel Payne College. From 1940-1948 he was the principal of Douglas Junior High School in Parsons, Kansas; 1953-1959 founding president of S.A. Owens Junior College; president of Alabama State University and interim president of Bishop College from 1986-1988
