Temple University trustees are expected to vote Tuesday on naming NBC correspondent Tamron Hall to fill a seat on the board vacated by Bill Cosby last year.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that board chairman Patrick O'Connor said the 1992 Temple grad has the support she needs for approval.
He called Hall "an exciting, vibrant, loyal alum" who will add "a new dimension" to the 36-member board.
Hall grew up in Texas and joined NBC in 2007. She currently hosts the 9 a.m. hour of the "Today" Show.
In a cover story in Temple Magazine, Hall says Philadelphia "gave me my soul" and "This university gave me my confidence."
Cosby resigned from the board in December following renewed allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted women over many years.
