More RA Students Slain

[Albert Hidel]

Only seven similar incidents in the last decade? Multiple warnings and complaints from parents? Ah hell, you can't expect a regionally accredited university to be responsible for your kids' safety, can you?

...and the band played on.

FAMU President James Ammons lets it slip. Is the safety and welfare of his students of paramount importance to him? Ah hell nah! Don't be killin the drum majors y'all, it be bad for our image.

Ammons said he could not talk much about Champion's death because of the "potential for lawsuits" but he also expressed concern about the negative publicity surrounding Champion's death. He said that he was trying to overcome past bad publicity regarding the university's handling of finances and its academic reputation.

"Preserving the image and the FAMU brand is of paramount importance to me," he wrote.
