As predicted, FAMU’s enrollment has surpassed the 12,000 mark. FAMU’s latest student count is 12,115. That’s 267 more than fall 2008’s total of 11,848.A key factor behind the increase is the revitalized recruitment program led by veteran Director of High School and Community Relations Rudy Slaughter, which lured 2,047 freshmen to The Hill. FAMU’s bump in associate of arts transfers, which followed a vigorous recruitment tour that reached every Florida community college, also helped the enrollment total.
The State University System of Florida is bursting at the seams. This year, UF was the only SUS member that did not experience an enrollment increase. It actually lost 2,433 students.
UF’s slip permitted UCF to snatch its former title as the largest university in the state. UCF has 52,000 students to UF’s 49,679.
GREAT JOB Mr. Slaughter and FAMU Family. Keep em coming. Lets renovate our dorms, build some new ones, take good care of our faculty & staff, and continue marching forward. Ain't no looking back now.

Rattler Nation, you're the greatest. I visit your blog at least 50 times a day because I know you are on top of things and will provide us with updates and the truth. Thank you very much. Keep up the GREAT work.
ReplyDeletePlease take a moment to look back. Will Mr. Slaughter Slaughter and his staff receive a bonus like the "Accrediation Team"? Let's be real, the team of individuals that helped increase enrollment will probably NEVER be recognized for their hard work.
ReplyDeleteI would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the staff. Because of you some of us keep our jobs. God Bless You and your families.
What bonus was received by the Accreditation Team?
ReplyDeleteA 267 person increase is really nothing to write home about. Don't get me wrong, it beats going in the opposite direction, but this is certainly not meritorious.
ReplyDelete12:19 PM, we almost had a 12,115 DECREASE. Thank God for Dr. James Ammons & his leadership team. I don't give a damn if we broke even on enrollment, it's a whole lot better than the alternative.
