KSU President Dan Papp says the job has "been a pleasure" for 10 years. In a letter sent to students, faculty and others on Tuesday, Papp highlighted the university's consolidation with the former Southern Polytechnic State University, growing enrollment and the launch of a football program.
University System of Georgia officials thanked Papp for his work during more than 40 years with the system. Chancellor Hank Huckaby credited Papp with making KSU "a world-class university."
The school, about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta, has about 33,000 students. Information about an interim president and the search for a new president wasn't immediately announced.
