In today’s fast paced society there’s almost no such thing as “irreclaimable harm.” It’ll be forgotten within six months. I respectfully disagree ,that might be the case with anyone that's not affiliated within the HBCU world ,but within our community this is on the same level as when their Drum Major was killed due to hazing .I will never forget that ,just as I will never forget this fiasco .

Yes, many people in the public and media won't soon forget. However, let us hope that time will erase this almost irreparable harm to the university's history and legacy will become a distance memory in the near future.

Not to seem cold, but I literally forgot about that until you mentioned it just now. It hasn’t appeared to stop the band in any shape or form. I have two good friends who are fellow Aggies. Their daughter is graduating high school this year. One guess where she’s headed to college. At the end of the day this foolishness doesn’t affect the quality of education any more than our students complaining about housing. The president and guilty parties will be replaced and life will go on. Let’s check back in six months and one year and see.

I think this could have a lasting effect in regards to winning grants and FAMU's ability to attract major donors.
If the perception is that the university is this sloppy with its finances and basic background checks, I dont see the next Mackenzie Bezos looking to do business with them.

The largest and only state hbcu in Florida? Nah.
They’ve already screwed up more times than I can count. Every school in existence has mismanaged funds. In this instance they didn’t even mismanage funds. They ain’t have em in the first place 😂. How does that stop someone from donating? Place is a certified tax shelter now 😂

That dude signed that contract like he was writing with his feet.
He had the penmanship of someone who did not take his medication that day.

She reported directly to the President and told him of the concerns. He should be next!

The fact that she was BOTH the dean of the business school AND VP of advancement is part of the problem.

Too many people dipping in (i.e.) the alums, the BOT and whoever else who want to swim in the swamp. Hopefully, they won't require their employees to stand in line in the heat outside as they have required in the past, to show that they are indeed an employee of the university.

i have to agree with dooms, i think this story fades away in a matter months. i don't see "long term" damage to famu as a result of this debacle...
