When James Ammons enters Lee Hall on Monday as FAMU's 10th president, he'll be keeping an appointment with duty and destiny."Where Florida A&M University is today, I think it is my duty to share with this institution the talents it taught me to develop," said Ammons, a 1974 FAMU graduate.

I really wish the Tallahassee Democrat would quit interviewing folks like Mr. Corbin and Steve Ufelder.
ReplyDeleteJames Corbin represents the worst of any university's graduate that I can think of. The man is still fuming because he is not the president of the uiversity and he aims to say the most belittling thing that comes to that shiny dome of his in order to make himself feel good. Isn't that what bullies do? Trample others because they feel inferior themselves.
ReplyDeleteCorbin is one sick puppy. He is no one to talk about accountability, leadership, or integrity.
ReplyDeleteCorbin is crazy, certified and lives in Chattahoochee. Send him to the mental institution!
