Incoming Provost at Delaware State Withdraws

James Ammons, who was named the next provost of Delaware State University in May, has decided not to take the job, The News Journal reported. No reason was given, and Ammons did not respond to the newspaper's request for comment. Ammons resigned as president of Florida A&M University in 2012 amid a scandal over the hazing death of a student and questions about the finances of the institution.
