Tampa Tribune: “FAMU Leader Under Fire”
TAMPA – Florida A&M University’s interim president is being asked to step down because she picked the school’s No. 2 administrator without consulting the school’s faculty and trustees.
The calls come two weeks after Castell Bryant tapped Debra Austin as FAMU’s provost and vice president for academic affairs.
Bryant picked Austin, chancellor of Florida’s public university system, on Aug. 4 after bypassing the usual practice of appointing a search committee and opening the position to other candidates.
