Robert Edward Clark II is a retired officer of the United States Navy and the last President of Wesley College in Dover, Delaware.

This was a unique, and temporary, assignment that allowed Clark the opportunity to serve in a senior leadership role at a major university while transitioning from active duty.

[7] [8] On March 1, 2021, two months before the acquisition was finalized with Delaware State University, some members of the faculty published a no-confidence resolution against Clark that was forwarded to Wesley College's board of trustees.

Wesley College's board of trustees voted unanimously on March 20, 2021, to dismiss the resolution in full support of President Clark’s exceptional performance, and leadership.

[9][10] President Joe Biden appointed Clark to the United States Naval Academy's board of visitors, along with five other distinguished national leaders, on February 7, 2022.
