STATEMENT BY REP. ALAN WILLIAMS
CONCERNING FAMU PRESIDENT JAMES AMMONS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- State Rep. Alan Williams (D-Tallahassee) issued the following statement concerning FAMU President James Ammons:
"As a state lawmaker and a graduate of Florida A&M University, I am very proud of my alma mater and recognize that tremendous challenges face the university during this era of reform.
"Today's vote of the FAMU Board of Trustees serves to recognize that there is a strong desire and willingness among university officials and leaders throughout Florida to bring more positive change to FAMU. I share that desire, but I also believe that President Ammons has demonstrated capability to lead the university, and he should be allowed to continue to lead the university, during this historic phase of development and progress at FAMU.
"I have full confidence in Dr. Ammons and the future of Florida A & M University."
