Orlando Sentinel editorial board throws fit over not getting its way at FAMU

The Orlando Sentinel editorial board isn’t pleased about getting a cold shoulder from the FAMU Board of Trustees. It’s taking the rejection very personally.

FAMU trustees ignored the Sentinel’s Sunday editorial that called for President James H. Ammons’ departure. On Monday, the board agreed to let him chart the path for restructuring the Marching 100.

“Trustees didn't even challenge Ammons when he dumped responsibility for the ineligible members on ex-band director Julian White, who quit under pressure last week,” the editorial board wrote in a follow-up piece on Tuesday. “Does the buck not stop with the president at FAMU?”

The Orlando Sentinel’s refusal to demand the resignation of University of Central Florida (UCF) President John Hitt for the death of football player Ereck Plancher should help it answer this question.

Plancher died while under the supervision of an athletics program that has had many years of scandals that show a lack of administrative control. A jury found UCF negligent and ordered the university’s athletic association to pay $10M.

Rattlers have no reason to take the Orlando Sentinel editorial board seriously as long as it holds the UCF president to a different standard than the FAMU president.
