After declining Isaiah Land’s and Cameron Covin’s requests yesterday for copies of the records about the waiver submissions FAMU made on their behalf, and requiring them to first sign FERPA releases, which they promptly did, FAMU has still not given them (or me) those documents. https://t.co/o9x7KllF9Z pic.twitter.com/2M8FZkkYgJ
