Prairie View A&M has announced the name of the interim president who will help lead the school until the new president starts in June.
Simmons had initially planned to resign on June 1 but moved up her end date to Feb. 28, citing that her power as president was being limited.
In a previous statement to KPRC 2, Chancellor John Sharp with Texas A&M University said outgoing presidents cannot hire senior staff except on an interim basis.“We want to work to have a smooth transition to the new administration. We are most appreciative and indebted to Dr. Simmons for the work that she has done to move the university forward,” McFrazier said. “My job will be to make sure our new president filling in will have a smooth transition.
