And now, more than a month after her departure, she's explaining in the greatest detail yet why she left the job early.
Simmons, 77, added that she won’t be working with the system’s current administrators, as some former presidents do. She struggled to see the A&M system share her passion. “I don't believe that the Board of Regents of the system is at all capable of managing the affairs of Prairie View,” she said. “The simple reason for that is because they don't know Prairie View, and they have no interest in learning.
"Truth is, the first time President Simmons was told 'no' over almost six years, she quit and abandoned Prairie View A&M’s students, faculty and staff," Copelin added."Despite her public criticism of The Texas A&M University System, Chancellor Sharp allowed her to speak at commencement after her resignation and authorized her signature to be attached to December’s diplomas. We wish her well in her new endeavors.
