Joe Wallace Aguillard (born July 15, 1956) is the eighth former president of the Southern Baptist-affiliated Louisiana College in Pineville, Louisiana. Aguillard's recent tenure was shaken by a series of controversies that led to the call of a student strike against his administration. On March 27, 2014, it was reported that the LC trustees had asked Aguillard to resign but he did not do so.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leigh Guidry, Sources: Louisiana College President Aguillard asked to resign as support dwindles )〕 On April 15, 2014, the trustees voted to name Aguillard as president emeritus beginning August 1, with Argile Smith, the associate dean of Christian ministry of the Caskey School of Divinity, tapped as the interim president, also effective on August 1 as well. Aguillard remained president until May 31, 2014 at which time Smith served for two months as the "president pro tempore" and then the interim president.〔 Aguillard assisted Smith in the transition of administration and beginning in 2015 resumed his former tenured professorship in the LC Graduate Teacher Education program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louisiana College will seek new president after moving Aguillard to emeritus role, April 15, 2014 )〕 ==Background== Aguillard was born in Basile, a small town near Crowley on the border of Acadia and Evangeline parishes in South Louisiana, the son of Harry Aguillard (1918-1969)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harry Aguillard, with gravestone photo in Basile Protestant Cemetery )〕 and the former Helyn Greene, both graduates of Louisiana College. He confessed his faith in Jesus Christ at a young age in his local Baptist church.〔 After graduation in 1974 from Basile High School, an entity of the Evangeline Parish School Board, Aguillard entered Louisiana College, where he completed in three years his Bachelor of Arts in the fields of English and communications. There, he met his future wife, the former Judy Collins. The couple has three children, Jill, Julie, and Jodi, all LC graduates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dr. Chuck Quarles' Introduction of Dr. Joe Aguillard, Inauguration Ceremony, March 23, 2006 )〕 Aguillard earned Master of Education degrees in two fields: (1) Guidance/ Counseling and (2) Administration/Supervision from McNeese State University in Lake Charles in southwestern Louisiana. In 1989, he received a Doctor of Education degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Aguillard is a former president of the organization, Deans of the Colleges of Education in Louisiana. In 2004, then Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco appointed Aguillard to the Blue Ribbon Commission on Education as the representative for higher education.〔 In 2000, Aguillard joined the faculty as chairman of the LC education department.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Timeline: Joe W. Aguillard, March 17, 2013 )〕 In 2004, he was named "Outstanding Teacher of the Year" at LC.〔 Prior to 2000, Aguillard was employed in DeRidder in southwestern Louisiana by the Beauregard Parish School Board, his last position there from 1999 to 2000 having been as the school superintendent. As he became superintendent, Aguillard attended a prayer rally called to seek spiritual help for Beauregard Parish schools. The gathering was hosted by then State Senator B. G. Dyess of Alexandria, a Baptist clergyman of many decades and an alumnus of Louisiana College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jules Miller, "Prayer Rally ... Spiritual help is sought for Beauregard's Schools" )〕 Aguillard is a member of the rural Philadelphia Baptist Church in Deville in eastern Rapides Parish. Several church members called for a "prayer walk" for Louisiana College on March 29, 2014, amid the buildup of opposition to President Aguillard's tenure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leigh Guidry, Gannett Press,Members of Joe Aguillard's church call for prayers for Louisiana College, March 26, 2014 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joe W.
