A member of Western Michigan University's Board of Trustees has died.
University officials say Ronald Hall, Senior, passed away early Wednesday, June 1, after an extended illness. He was 72.
Governor Rick Snyder appointed Hall to Western's Board in 2012. It's up to the governor to pick someone to fill out the rest of his term, which expires in 2020.
Hall was a business leader in Detroit and was active in promoting minority-owned companies.
