Today, the Florida A&M University Board of Trustees voted 8-4 in “no confidence” in President James Ammons. Trustees cited many issues that have been problematic during Dr. Ammons’ tenure as president of the University. Inarguably, the most damaging being the hazing death of Marching 100 drum major Robert Champion and related fallout involving administrative and financial issues. After the announcement of the result of the vote, Dr. Ammons said he got the message “loudly and clearly” and continued with the established meeting agenda. He did not resign.
