Colorado State Paid Ex-President Nearly $1.6 Million to Leave

Emma Petit:

Amy Parsons, a former senior administrator at Colorado State University at Fort Collins, will in all likelihood become the university’s next president, a selection that some professors criticize as misguided.

Parsons, an alumna of CSU, worked as CSU’s deputy general counsel before becoming vice president for university operations in 2009. She held the role until 2015, when she became executive vice chancellor of the CSU System. She left that post in 2020 to become the founding chief executive officer of Mozzafiato LLC, an e-commerce company.
