American academic administrator and educator
Ferlin Clark is an American academic administrator and educator. He is a member of the Navajo Nation [1] and currently works as an administrator in the Office of Dine School Improvement of the Department of Dine Education.[2] From 2018 to 2022[3] he served as president of Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma .[4]
Early life and education [ edit ]
Ferlin Clark is a member of the Navajo (Dine) Nation originally from Crystal, New Mexico .[5]
Clark received a bachelor's degree in English communications from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado in 1988.[6] He received a master's degree in education from Harvard University in 1992[7] and a doctoral degree in American Indian studies from the University of Arizona [8] in 2009.[9]
Early in his career, Ferlin Clark taught United States history and geography at Navajo Preparatory School .[10]
In 1999, Clark was vice president for development at Diné College .[11] In 2003, he became interim president of the college,[12] and in 2004, he assumed the position permanently.[13] Clark was removed as president by the Navajo Nation Supreme Court in 2010[14] amid an investigation into accusations of bullying and harassment of staff.[15] He was succeeded by Marie Etsitty,[16] who served as interim president until 2011.[17]
After leaving Dine College, Clark served as executive staff assistant to Navajo Nation Vice President Rex Lee Jim .[18] [19]
He served as New Mexico Assistant Secretary of Indian Education from 2012[20] to 2014.[21] [22]
In April 2018, Clark was named the new president of Bacone College,[23] replacing Franklin Willis.[4] Under his leadership, Bacone sought tribal charters to become a tribally affiliated college and thus improve its financial stability.[24] Under Clark's presidency, the college was chartered by the Osage Nation ,[25] the Kiowa Tribe ,[26] the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes ,[27] the Otoe–Missouria Tribe of Indians ,[28] and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians .[29] The college also underwent financial restructuring during his tenure; part of this has involved cutting sports programs including football and wrestling.[30]
In 2022 Clark went on leave from Bacone College and was replaced by interim president Nicky Michael.[3] [31]
Clark currently works as an administrator in the Office of Dine School Improvement in the Department of Dine Education.[2] [32]
Clark has also served on the College Board [33] and as vice president of the executive board[6] and later secretary of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium .[34]

Ferlin Clark is married to his wife, Gwen.[9] [35]
