Early Life and Education

Ben Moody Elrod was an outstanding educator and fundraiser who left an indelible mark at Ouachita Baptist University. He inspired students to set high standards for themselves and pursue their dreams; founded the Elrod Center for Family and Community at OBU; served on its Board of Trustees; and even served as its president from 1988-1998.

Officers Lugod, Bornhoft and Geyza encountered Elrod at Sports Car Garage on South 13th Street near Sports Arena. Despite giving him multiple verbal commands to show his hands and get down onto the ground, Elrod refused.

Officers administered a Taser shock, but he disobeyed their orders and continued pulling probe wires from his leg, refusing to comply. Police then shot multiple times at him.

Professional Career

He regularly advises both domestic and foreign insurance companies with respect to regulatory matters, including entity formation, licensing, certification and transactions requiring attorney general review. He has represented hospitals, nursing homes and home health agencies regarding certificate of need matters as well as in purchasing or selling facilities.

Elrod held positions at churches in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas before accepting a development director position at Ouachita Baptist University. Later he would become its president in 1978 and was instrumental in improving relations between college members and church congregations and overseeing an ambitious fundraising campaign that funded both a new field house and fine arts center as well as increasing their endowments.

He initiated a university-wide initiative that brought students out into the community, serving those in need. He served as president of both Kentucky’s Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and Arkansas’ Independent Colleges and Universities organizations.

He was one of the greatest hitters in ASA slow-pitch history, earning 11 All-Tournament teams consecutively and five batting championships from his league. Additionally, he is revered as an inspiring teammate and coach.

Dr. Ben Elrod was passionate about community service and volunteerism; so much so that Ouachita honored him by naming its center for family and community service after his presidency in his name. According to Ian Cosh, vice president for community and international engagement, Elrod wanted Ouachita University to be recognized as being committed to teaching that went beyond classroom walls to meet needs across society.” The Ben M.
