Here's the latest Raleigh News & Observer story about the unauthorized satellite campus that was set up when James Ammons, now FAMU's president, was head of North Carolina Central University. The head of the N.C. university system said yesterday that NCCU will have to repay federal financial aid for the students who attended the satellite, since the program had never been approved by accreditors.
"We will have significant liability," said UNC system President Erskine Bowles. "How much, we do not know at this time." If this is new news to you, click here. To read Bowles' comments in more detail, click here.

There is plenty in the gutter for both Ammons and Humphries. Child molester as Assistant Dean? Sound familiar?

Please tell me how this is connected to Humphries? Dang, the man has been gone almost a decade and you rats are still looking for something in the gutter. Well guess what? You ain't gonna find anything.
Ammons was all by himself in NC.

Everybody knew what Ammons was responsible for when he was Provost at FAMU. Did you think NCCU would change. FAMU plays by no rules, except one. Deflect all criticism by using race as the issue.

Looks like the law will be coming to Tallahassee soon. How can Ammons and Humphries get away with this? More of the same at FAMU.
