BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Checking in on Florida A&M University under its new leadership.
I’m Alberto Camargo your College town neighborhood reporter.
When Dr. Timothy Beard took over on the hill, he said he had a 100-day plan to get FAMU back on the right track.
I’m following up with the interim President to see what’s gone well, and how much work is left to do.
The FAMU that Dr. Beard inherited was one reeling from the fallout of a fraudulent major gift and uncertainty at the very top.
100 days later — “We’ve not accomplished everything we would like to accomplish, but we’ve accomplished a lot,” Beard says.
I spoke with Dr. Beard about the changes he has made — including the five new people heading up university leadership.
