In a memo to trustees Monday, Interim President Castell Bryant has outlined the "Transitional Operation Procedures" for the "remaining days of her tenure".Among the procedures to be established are a moratorium on:
+ Major operational decisions that would impact the 2007-2008 academic year
+ Significant personnel decisions
+ Negotiations formajor contracts
+ Non-grant travel
Search for Pharmacy and Law Deans halted
In the memo, Bryant has also acknowledged that the searches for permanent deans at the College of Law and the College of Pharmacy has been delayed. Interstingly enough, the Hollins Group has already been paid for these searches. You may recall, the Hollins Group was paid $250,000 +/+ to conduct combined dean searches for Dean of the College of Law, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Dean of the College of Pharmacy, School of Business, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the Dean of the School of Nursing in Feburary 2006. Hollins had promised to have those searches completed by June 2006.
The Hollins group's search for the School of Nursing turned up five local candidates, four of who where already on the FAMU nursing faculty.

Ammons I am sure will renegitiate this deal to get something out of the deal...I hope...
ReplyDeleteDr. Ammons please we just want our money back Im sure the Hollins Group didnt seek you out, you came back home to us. The Hollins Group has taken enough of our money and done enough damage. Just get our money back to us. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteIf the search proccesses we've already paid for are put on hold, what does that say for the money that has alreay been paid for them to perform their duty up to June 30th?
ReplyDeleteThe more you think this mess with CVB & Co. is about to end, the more everything starts up again. Will the madness ever end? And now, the pharmacy problem is put on probation. It really is no excuse for this to be happening in light of the fact that everyone associated with the pharmacy program has been hollering, crying and screaming for help from the administration, which, of course, and of which everything fell on deaf ears. Lord, Lord, what a tradegy. If I could get a belt and invisibly whip CVB & Challis & Debra like runaway slaves, I'd certainly do it.
ReplyDelete...pharmacy program (my bad).
ReplyDeletePlease please please can we get with the 21st century? It's about time the ivory and cast iron walls of HBCUs like FAMU come crashing down. It's about time someone gets in your business.

Why? So that you and those like you can monopolize higher education, freezing out the rest of the deserving AA kids who want to make a better life for themselves? Why is it that you people have such a destructive mentality? You must destroy everything that isn't YOU. What drives this sick evil thinking??
