Back in December, former trustee Rhonda Skillern Jones resigned from her position after pleading guilty to accepting bribes during her time as a Houston ISD trustee. Jones did not plead to any wrong-doing at HCC.
Skillern Jones was the second HCC trustee to resign due to corruption allegations. Chris Oliver, a former trustee, left the HISD board after a bribery conviction in 2017. Documents suggest Oliver accepted cash in paper bags to influence HCC contracts.
