The Ledger: Cronyism Rampant In Hiring at FAMU
In 1998, Florida A&M University hired an accountant named Curtis Hagan to work in financial affairs. It was a routine hire – except for the fact Hagan had just gotten out of prison for shaking down bribes.
A few years later, Hagan was canned after supervisors complained he was lazy and incompetent.
The rise and fall of a $35,000-a-year accountant with a rap sheet wouldn’t be worth mentioning if it was an isolated event. But for years, FAMU students and faculty have joked, groaned and openly wondered about the extent of questionable hiring – if not outright cronyism – on campus.
