I saw this coming. Great chioce Dr. Ammons.
ReplyDeleteyeah. She did a great job with the academic powerhouse Edward Waters.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. I'm sure she'll be fine.
But it does make you kind of miss the days when the FAMU BOT meetings was a madhouse, chock full of foolishness and coonery. The more boring those meetings are, that means the better the school is doing.
Still gotta keep them on blast. How come the meetings aren't archived on FAMcast?
