A Black HBCU leader, Dr. Antoinette Candia-Bailey, died by suicide on Jan. 8, local CBS-News affiliate KRCG reported Friday.

Documents sent to the news outlet include a message from Candia-Bailey, who served as Lincoln University of Missouri’s Vice President of Student Affairs, state that “University President Dr. John Moseley [caused] ‘enough harm and mental damage,’” after she assumed her position as VP in May 2023.
