Sounds serious but I doubt they would close it down....???

Similar financial problems have been going on here at 'T that have shone a negative light on our institution...

Keep ya head up Rattlers...at least a new Chancellor w/ hopefully a new way of operating is own the way.

Yes, in the era of political correctness and racial sensitivity. Oh, L yes. It went on. The facts are right in your DYAM face.

You weren't here. You're NOT here. Talking out of your azz does not make one thing you say right, so move along cuz you have NO CLUE as to what you're posting about beyond what you read or hear.

"Believe none of what you read and only half of what you see". Good advice...


Okay. I can understand your sensitivity.

Oldsport the article you posted is a year old. I ain't saying Bush is to blame, but I am pointing the finger at Castell Bryant, a Bush appointeee.

As I wrote earlier, her primary mandate was to straighten out the books. She failed. I take no pleasure in condemning Dr. Bryant. It appears she just was not up to the task.

Pesonally, I think the financial mismanagement and fraud that Bryant uncovered was on a scale beyond her comprehension and ability to correct.

I don't believe it's simplistic to state that FAMU's future is at stake here.

Well I don't think either of us can say with any degree of certainty how much financial mismanagement or fraud Dr. Bryant uncovered. However we do know that her primary mandate was to straighten out FAMU's finances, and she was apparently unable to do so.

Would you admit these problems are long standing problems at FAMU?

I think MOST of the posters on this Bullitin Board know the history of our school. They know that bush appointed incompetent fools to run the school into the dirt. They know of all the scandals and problems that have occured since jeb took over.

They also know what an arsehole our boy oldspot can be whenever anybody talks bad about he massah.

Ignore it... and it will eventually fade away.

That will not Happen in FLA where they depend on it citizens like a Crackhead depends on a pipe. The problem needs to be solved. BUT closing its doors will not happen I know that.


Leave it to one the Hampton faithful to try and sugarcoat this with a real understatement. (I heard from a Hampton Alum who told me they don't know what the L they will find from a financial standpoint when Harvey departs.) You know their mantra...'Wez private. So, we don't come under the same oversight as you state bumpkins.' Crazy

Right, JEB Bush wanted to see FAMU fail and go under during his watch so he could be blamed for it. This makes alot of political sense. More then likely the appointees were made aware of the financial mess and told to uncover what they could. You're DELUSIONAL...

Right. I got your Special Ed. You better get to Tally quick.

Carolyn Collins, president of FAMU's national alumni association representing 50,000 former students, downplayed FAMU's role in the problems. Instead, she blamed Gov. Jeb Bush's swift and dramatic change in how the state universities are governed, which left them unprepared to take on responsibilities that had been administered by the state.

For example, last year was the first time the school had to turn over financial records directly to the state.

"I'm sure the governor didn't want us to fail," Collins said. "I'm not sure what the plan was."

Hmmm... Lemme see... All was well and good at FAMU up until Jeb Bush (R) took office.

Bush removes/dissolves FL Board of Regents (which governed higher ed) then creates the Board of Governors (republiklan water carriers) of which he has the privilege to seat ALL of the members (republiklan water carriers).

The rules are then changed in that the governor has the privilege to seat members (republiklan water carriers) of the Board of Trustees (republiklan water carriers) of each university with the exception of a seat for the faculty rep and a seat for the president of the student body.

That body then select a president (republiklan water carrier) to head the university.

The above selected individuals (republiklan water carriers that were chosen for FAMU by design) are either clueless as to how to run a university, stupid, crooked, or all of the above. I'll take "All of the above for $400, Alex!"

Of the other state run PWC institutions, members of their BOTs (republiklan water carriers) brought something to the table, including wealth, corporate connections, access to big money. Members appointed to FAMU's BOTs (republiklan water carriers) brought about as much to the table as you did oldspit (republiklan water carrier). Nothing. Nadda! They (the republiklan water carriers) have contributed not one dime to the university. A casual football fan attending a game has spent more at the concession stand than they have.

Is there a picture forming here for you??


HHHhhhhhhmmmmm......

It seems like I have seen a scenario similar to this one. I see a few similarities with a couple of HBCUs in Texas even though one of them (PV) does not have their own board of regents. At the University of Texas, Houston and Texas A&M, Texas Tech and other big schools in Texas, their board of regents would be more supportive to their flagship schools than it seems that the FAMU board has been to its school.

It is one thing to support a school. It is another thing to ignore what is happening. It is even another thing to milk the system.
