YOU ALL MUST REMEMBER THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BROUGHT THIS ON OUR UNIVERSITY BY HIRING HER AND SUPPORTING HER FOR 2 YEARS. ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS NEED TO BE FIRED...INCLUDING REV. HOLMES!!!
When Dr. Bryant gave her first address to faculty, she repeatedly boasted that she would be forthright and direct and give straight answers.
Then, in the question period, she responded to every challenging question by evasion or contempt.
I knew then that we had a problem.
At least part of that problem has been having a president who is overconfident in her own intuitive ability to "know" what is happening and what is right to do. Without needing to consult.
The result has been what looks like a series of arbitrary, rather idealistic actions by someone out of touch with the day to day realities of how this institution runs.
Bryant's purchasing procedure is a great example. You cannot purchase everyday supplies without getting the president's signature on the requisition. That produced a procedure so cumbersome that it consumed huge amounts of staff time needlessly and frustrated everyone needing to have things purchased.
This bizarre purchasing procedure was put into place 2 1/2 years ago in an attempt to get control over purchasing. Well, it just stayed in place, and, as far as I can tell, nobody followed up on it to gain any real control over purchasing, track orders, or do anything constructive.
It was just another symbolic action, designed to look good, taking the first step in the right direction but then stopping, making the problem worse than it was.
It would be good to have FAMU's procedures made workable, understandable, and rational -- with people at every level dedicated to getting things done rather than so scared of breaking the changing rules that they bog everything down.
