TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida A&M University’s president reached an agreement with school officials to immediately resign Monday after facing months of criticism in the hazing death of a marching band member.

Last week, James Ammons had submitted a letter stating his resignation would not take effect until Oct. 11. However, he waived a provision allowing him to give 90 days notice to the FAMU board in exchange for getting paid bonuses.
