TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Recently the Tallahassee Democrat stated that between FAMU President Dr. Elmira Mangum and members of the FAMU Board of Trustees who have formed an adversarial position and are entrenched, one or both parties need to be dismissed. Members of the Board of Governors has used the situation to do nothing more than add fuel to the fire.Meanwhile, the FAMU community is just tired of it. The most recent charade by the BOT and all of these responses are examples of what has over the years been an apparent failure of the FAMU administration and evidence of what needs to change.
FAMU does not need the Governor’s office or the Board of Governors to set things straight; and certainly not the Tallahassee Democrat. These parties have already demonstrated a lack of understanding of the needs of this University and the community it serves. Notwithstanding the people in these positions, neither the Governor’s office nor the Board of Governors has ever been a strong advocate of the role of Florida A&M University.
The Tallahassee Democrat has an obligation to increase readership and their articles read more like the comment pages on social media than investigative news. Thus, they make a mockery of the situation.
