FAMU names three new deans

FAMU administrators today announced the appointment of new deans for the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Allied Health Sciences and the College of Education. Two have been serving already on an interim basis.

Ralph Turner, now interim dean, will serve as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Barbara Mosley, interim dean, will permanently lead the School of Allied Health; and Genniver Bell will serve as dean of the College of Education.

The hirings follow searches conducted by committees of faculty, staff and student representatives.

Turner was chair of the department of chemistry and has been with FAMU since 1967. Mosley, at FAMU over 25 years, has served as interim dean and is a former associate dean of the school.

Bell was an associate professor of educational leadership at Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville, NC. She is a former K-12 classroom teacher and administrator and has held many positions in higher education administration and state government.

FAMU will die a slow death. As the demographic shifts to people who were not raised in a segregated society, a greater amount of pressure from the public will call on FAMU to change. Opening FAMU you up to other folks is not a bad thing. It will make the school stronger.

Have your read some of the post on the rattler nation blog? Good grief that is some racism like I have never seem. There is a black panther mentality going on at that school. Imagine B. Machen going around to white clubs only handing out scholarships to white students? Imagine Machen constantly talking about the role of UF for whites in higher ed.? It would not be acceptable nor should it be.

If FAMU still clinging to the dark ages with its one race admissions policy? We do live in the 21st century?
