And So It Begins: A Call for Vigilance Amidst Threats to FAMU’s Future
As many of you know, Dr. Larry Robinson has recently announced his decision to step down as President of Florida A&M University (FAMU). This development comes at a time of significant uncertainty and concern for our beloved institution. While Dr. Robinson has faced criticism and made some mistakes, including the recent high-profile embarrassment with the Gerami Donation, which was used as a pretext for him to step down under pressure. It is undeniable that he has kept FAMU on an upward trajectory, achieving remarkable successes. Under his leadership, FAMU has reached new heights, earning a place in the top 100 national public universities, outperforming notable institutions in Florida according to the 2024 U.S. News & World Report. Specifically, FAMU (#91) ranks higher than Florida Atlantic University (FAU #112) and is closely positioned behind the University of Central Florida (UCF #64) and Florida International University (FIU #64). Dr. Robinson will go down in FAMU history as one of its most consequential presidents. We must hope that in this climate, we retain enough control of the search process to identify and select a president with the academic prowess, political acumen, fundraising stature, and judgment to steer this great university through a period of “High Stakes” of the most complex order.
