MOBILE, Ala.
Bishop State Community College President Yvonne Kennedy said last week she has no plans to resign during a financial aid probe at the two-year school.
Kennedy, a Democrat who serves in the Alabama House of Representatives, marked her 25th anniversary as president of her alma mater on Sept. 16.
In an outdoor news conference surrounded by cheering supporters, Kennedy said she’s given her entire professional life to building up the school.
“I don’t plan to turn my back on my alma mater,” Kennedy said.
Accompanied by her attorney, Kennedy took no questions from reporters after giving a lengthy presentation about the probe and criticizing media reports about it.
“It is now my time to speak and to set the record straight,” she said.
