Like PhrozenGenius has said, this is taxpayer dollars. I as a tax payer in the state have a vested interest in how my money is used. I would be the same way if a PWI in Florida was doing the same thing.

My anger was not steered toward your concern for the mismanagement of funds - I am a taxpayer as well and am equally concerned. MY ISSUE was your comment that FAMU should close its doors - even in jest it was, imo, an irresponsible thing to say because that is what the majority has been saying for years . . . FAMU educates many AA students in this state that have good grades but are not accepted to UF or FSU . . these students go on to become lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc . . . as an alum I am interested in keeping my school open an assisting in fixing the problem - NOT seeing its doors close!
