At the Presidential Evaluation Committee meeting in July, FAMU Board of Trustees Chairman Rufus Montgomery proposed a 90-day performance improvement plan for President Elmira Mangum. He said that it would be a way to address the fact that most of the board members gave Mangum a “Did Not Meet Expectations” rating for four out of the ten categories on her annual evaluation.

The four categories were personal characteristics and values, organizational management, internal relations, and board and governance relations.

On a scale of 1 to 100, when you fail four categories, that gives you a 60 percent,” Rufus said.

He said a 90-day performance improvement plan could be a way to deal with that problem.

“As we move forward, I would suggest that we move to requiring a performance improvement plan for Dr. Mangum that’s prescriptive and it’s over a defined period of time, say maybe 90 days; but we do need to know and understand what’s going on in that office and how she’s looking to meet the objectives of the board,” he added.

Committee Chairwoman Kimberly Moore said she thought that the proposal was outside the set of duties that had been assigned to the Presidential Evaluation Committee. Rufus declined to offer the plan as a motion before the committee but didn’t rule out introducing it at the upcoming full meeting of the Board of Trustees.

The committee did approve a motion by Rufus that requires Mangum to give the board a monthly report about her progress in meeting the objectives that the committee had discussed with her.

Mangum told the committee that “I’m committed to the institutional progress, but I find myself somewhat at a loss based upon some of the standards that we just set at 60 percent meeting success, especially as it relates to the university’s work plan and its performance with regard to student graduation, retention, and a few other metrics.”
