Lincoln University president on paid leave days after VP of student affairs dies by suicide

The president of Lincoln University in Missouri was placed on paid leave Friday after students and alumni called for his ouster following a senior administrator’s death by suicide this week.

President John Moseley volunteered to be placed on paid leave while a third party reviews personnel issues and concerns about mental health after Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey died by suicide Monday, the university’s board of curators said in a news release.
