FLorida A&M University Vice Chair, Deveron Gibbons is calling for an emergency meeting.

The move comes after skepticism surrounding a $237 million donation made by the Issac Batterson Family 7th Trust and CEO Gregory Gerami.

In a statement to ABC 27, Gibbons is calling for FAMU President, Larry Robinson and Chair Kristin Harper to convene a public board meeting.

The recently announced donation would truly be transformative for Florida A&M University, an institution that is helping to shape the next generation of leaders. However, the reality is that little has been shared regarding the nature of the donation. A press announcement should be the final step in a vetting process, not the first, and significant questions remain unanswered. A donation of this nature requires the highest degree of transparency and inquiry, and to this point that has not occurred. As Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees, I have a responsibility to safeguard the integrity of the university I cherish but I have deep concerns that this process is moving too quickly to embrace a gift without proper scrutiny. I am calling on President Larry Robinson and Chair Kristin Harper to convene a public Board meeting, in the sunshine, so that the entire FAMU community can learn more details. FAMU is already the finest HBCU in the nation, and we all hope this gift bears fruit for generations to come.
