More typical stupidity from the folks at FAMU. Let me give you all another example of their lack of class: Several years ago, the FAMU was interested in purchasing a property that was an industrial park that was adjacent to the campus. The first problem was that FAMU did not have enough money in the budget to buy it. So another division at the State said, "Tell you what, we will buy it now, and when the money become available, you guys can just buy it back from us". Great deal, right? The folks at FAMU basically said, "No way! We don't trust that you will sell it to us once you buy it". No deal happened. Most tenants in the park had found other places to lease, it was half vacant, and the deal fell through and FAMU never got the site. They costed the State alot of money through appraisals, attorney's and etc. Its my understanding that many State agencies hate dealing with them. In addition, once or twice a year on average an employee is fired and prosecuted for stealing money, or taking bribes to give financial aid. Then, all the thugs and criminals in a 100 mile radius come here every year for FAMU homecomming and "Kappa Lueau" only to cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to the town and mall, and to rob pizza joints and convenience stores while they are here. And the folks at FAMU say merchants are racists for wanting to close their stores. Go figure.
