“We are extremely pleased with the decision by SACSCOC to
remove the probation sanction, which signifies that Florida A&M University
is in compliance with the standards of the regional accrediting body,” said
FAMU Interim President Larry Robinson. “As a member institution of SACSCOC, we
fully appreciate the peer review process and we are committed to continuing the
work needed to maintain the high standards of the commission.”
Robinson acknowledged that it took a comprehensive university-wide effort led by teams of dedicated faculty, staff and students that worked tirelessly outside of the limelight to help the university address the SACSCOC concerns.
“I would like to thank our Board of Trustees for their
guidance and support and the FAMU SACS Leadership Team for their dedication and
persistence. I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our students,
faculty and staff who made invaluable contributions that helped bring about
this positive outcome.”
FAMU expects to receive a letter from SACSCOC in January
2014 confirming today’s announcement.
