Dr. Jay Gouge served as president of Auburn University from July of 2007 until he retired in 2017.
Due to an ill-advised decision in the hiring of his replacement, the Board of Trustees appointed Gouge interim president in 2019 after essentially paying Steven Leath a ridiculous amount of money not to be the president. The “interim” title has since been dropped and he now has the distinction of serving as the 18th and 20th president of Auburn University.
