Daniel J. Bradley, 58, will succeed Lloyd Benjamin III, who led the 10,500-student university for eight years.
The action by trustees to hire Bradley at a yearly salary of $265,000 comes two years after ISU's Faculty Senate demanded Benjamin's resignation for accepting a $25,000 raise.
Bradley will leave his current position as president at Fairmont State in West Virginia. He has been in that job since 2001 and previously was vice chancellor and dean of engineering at Montana Tech in Butte, Mont. He was on the Tech faculty for more than 20 years.
Bradley acknowledged the difficulties ahead in leading Indiana State.
"Public higher education is in a state of great change," Bradley said. "The need to respond effectively to this rapidly evolving landscape will require hard work, imagination and entrepreneurship."
