Archie Bouie, II, the Associate Vice President of Finance Administration, resigned abruptly yesterday morning from his $120,000 job. Bouie, who has been at FAMU since June 2018, wrote a dramatic resignation letter to Interim Vice President of Finance and Administration/CFO Richard Schweigert dated yesterday.
Bouie wrote, my life's "journey has taught me how to understand when to push through a trial or when to go around one. With that in mind, my trial of being employed with Florida A&M University must come to an end effective immediately Tuesday, November 12, 2019."
In closing, he added, in my “over 23-year professional career I’ve never experienced the amount of unprofessionalism and sense of being undervalued as I’ve experienced since June 7, 2019 at FAMU.”

Bouie, a former Campus Executive for Georgia Military College (Fairburn & Stone Mountain Campuses), a public independent junior college with 10 campuses scattered throughout Georgia, which offers high school and middle school programs, was hired by former FAMU VP of Finance and Administration Wanda Ford. Ford resigned on June 7, 2019, after it was discovered that the University improperly transferred funds to cover a deficit in athletics.
Like Ford, Bouie holds a degree from the University of Phoenix. He also holds a master’s degree from American InterContinental University, a for-profit university with open admission owned by the Career Education Corporation.
Bouie is also listed as president and CEO of the Patrick Cook Group, a executive leadership management consulting company he founded in 2016.
He becomes the latest departure in the Division of Finance and Administration following Ford, Budget Director Ronica Mathis, and Comptroller Tiffany Holmes in June.
