Robert Seniors, FAMU vice-president of Enterprise Information Technology (EIT), has been reassigned and replaced with Michael James.James, the former university registrar, has been working in EIT for several years. He will serve on an interim basis until a permanent vice-president president is found. James was given the title of chief information officer.
A search firm will be hired to find a new head for EIT. Seniors will now assist FAMU’s office of instructional technology.
Seniors’ reassignment comes after iRattler was down for several days at the start of the Spring 2011 semester. The interruption in service prevented many FAMU students from registering for classes during the drop/add period. This was not the first time that iRattler has been unavailable during the start of a semester.
