BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Southern University’s Board of Supervisors member Calvin Braxton has apparently flip-flopped.

On Wednesday, Braxton sent the Southern Board a poorly worded letter of resignation that read: “Accept my recognition from the Southern University Board of Supervisors.”

Less than a day later, Braxton says he has reconsidered and intends to remain a board member.



Braxton didn’t return calls. But Board Member Myron Lawson told The Advocate (https://bit.ly/1dGSJt9) Braxton told him of the change of mind.

Braxton’s resignation, then change of heart comes just two days after his fellow board members voted against a contract extension for his close friend, Southern University-Baton Rouge Chancellor James Llorens.

Braxton was one of the chancellor’s fiercest supporters.
