Colorado State University has agreed to pay President Amy Parsons $1.1 million for her resignation, the Coloradoan learned through an open-records request. Parsons formally announced her resignation Oct. 28 , six days after she and CSU System Chancellor Tony Frank signed a resignation settlement that requires the payment to Parsons be made, “minus any necessary withholdings,” by no later than Jan. 5, 2027. Parsons’ resignation will become effective Dec. 31, 2026, according to terms agreed to in the settlement that amended the five-year contract she signed when she was hired that would have continued through Jan. 31, 2028.
