FCRA asks Governor to Fire FAMU President

Posted by Marchingsport.com on November 24, 2011 at 9:50am

UPDATE 11-23-2011

Wednesday, the Florida Civil Rights Association called for further action by asking the governor and FAMU Board of Trustees to fire Ammons, assistants to Dr. White and the entire leadership of the Marching 100 program.

The organization said in a statement:

The current administration within the University and in the Florida A&M Marching 100 has created a culture of corruption that tacitly approves of the persistent and deadly hazing that occurs within the Marching 100 and Florida A&M University.

FCRA likened the situation to the scandal with the coaching staff and administrators at Penn State University. The full statement is attached above..

Under Florida Statute, any death that happens as a result of hazing is a third-degree felony.

    Surprising, yet expected. I read comments from student saying they agree and have more demands.
