The Board of Trustees is performing their role as mandated by state college guidelines. Would such interference be tolerated by any other non Black college in Florida? I think not. Governor Scott is a BULLY and seems to use this terrible tragedy to exercise dictatorial influence. I am glad to see the Board of Trustees resisting his interference.

Black brothers and sisters… Stand up. The President should step aside and the Trustees should demand the FDLE investigate at the highest level. We are acting like animals. Killing a fellow black student for fun ? Are we crazy? The admin knowing this occurs but does not stop it? Shut down the band, Shut down the school !! WE gotta change and improve ! STOP THE Madness. Our Governor is right

Scott is a BULLY!!! Scott has asked Ammons several times to step down and called him into the “principals” office to URGE him to step aside. Guess he thought a little confrontation moment would sway “the Pres”. Just a bully.

Another attempt by the Palm Beach News to discredit Gov.Scott. Scott never suggested that Ammons be fired but to step aside and let some one else do the investigating so that Ammons could not be accused of white-washing the results. Come on,West Palm Beach News, you can’t be that dumb!

Scott has already exhibited he has no respect for regular folks, so why should regular folks show him respect.

And why wouldn’t they keep him as president? What qualified person would be available and willing to replace him at that dung-pile of a “university”?

It’s full of vermin.

“Hey, I have an idea! To make band members feel like they belong, let’s BEAT them to death!”

This is what passes for university-level students?

Besides, the trustees and everyone else are the scumbags who make all the money disappear at that school. They’re in a racket together. Why would they force out a guy who could surely drag them all down with them?

Good deflection FAMU from the real issue. While you are raising your fist on the podium (ala ’68 Olympics) you are ignoring the fact a kid is dead on your watch.

Stop embarrassing yourselves already.
