You can do either of the following:
SET SCAN OFF before the statement
if not possible then
you could do INSERT... ('A'||'&'||'M University')...;

try inserting ('A'||CHR(38)||'M University')
the CHR() is great for special characters.

Subject: How to deal with special character like & in ' '
Hi,
I want to insert a string like 'A&M University' but has problem with '&'
I want the database exact A&M University. But it always ask me new or old
value because of symbol '&' how could I deal with that. Thanks.
