As an alumnus of FAMU, I see that nothing has changed. The problem lies in the nepotism within the leadership. FAMU has a history of keeping only familiar faces around, even if they are incompetent. Whenever an outsider attempts to bring about positive change, they are driven away. FAMU needs a complete leadership overhaul, bringing in competent individuals to manage the administration. Many of the old guards must step down to make way for those who know what they are doing. Until then, nothing is going to change.

Cannot wait to hear Roland break this down. A chair who says she knew nothing but has her signature on the document. A president who says he takes full responsibility but does not submit his resignation along with the foundation chair.

A lot of FAMU people do NOT want Robinson to resign, at least not right now.

@@wolvesofblackwallstreet6780 Larry Robinson is very well-liked, but that is part of the problem. Larry is the kind of person who wants to be liked and lets things slide. He is not bringing any new vision to FAMU. He runs the school like a family business, allowing things and incompetent employees to remain unchanged. I can tell you firsthand that there are many high-level employees and even professors who are incompetent but well-liked because they give good grades or tell good jokes, leading students to believe they are getting the best education. Robinson is a good guy, but he's not tough enough to implement changes that would transform the school. Doing the same things while expecting different results is not sustainable for FAMU. They need transformational leadership, even if it makes some people uncomfortable in the short term.

How is Trustee Perry on both FAMU and BCU trustees board? LEST WE FORGET?? He shouldn't be on any HBCU's board because he can not have their best interest, after how he has single handedly tried to destroy Bethune Cookman!

The fact that Robinson has yet to submit his resignation speaks volumes. Had this happened at ANY other university he’d already be gone. If both Miles AND Wiley Colleges could see this Gerami character was fugazi and their compliance offices are maybe 1/3 the size of FAMU’s there’s no excuse.

Ok, Roland, just watched this on another platform. PLEASE synthesize this for me cause, to me, NOTHING was disclosed, revealed, corrected other than the voluntary resignation of one staff/ board member. I'm an inquiring mind and I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!

They need to be hiring a crisis management firm and an independent communications firm

That was my first thought, as well: They need the best crisis manager that money can buy. POSTHASTE.

Woulda been nice to have made the Prez give details about how this mess started, rather than bail him out with this call from an outside investigation. The Prez answers to the Board, so there's no need for an outside person to send him questions. The Board could have/should have made him answer every question here in this meeting. Watch the Prez refuse to answer questions that come from the investigator, probably claiming confidentiality as a school executive. As a public university, the state government can also make him answer questions if the Board isn't going to directly do it themselves.

Why do you need an outside firm that costs the university more money that they don't have? With all the college degrees if you have common sense it should be easy to figure out where the problems are. Can you can fix what problems, you have it is simple!
