Florida A&M University has announced Marva Johnson as its President-elect following a 10-month search. The decision comes after each of the four finalists met with the public this week.
Marva Johnson was met with a hostile crowd at a Wednesday evening meet-and-greet. FAMU alumni and stakeholders questioned Johnson’s qualifications and political influence. Johnson currently leads State Government Affairs for Charter Communications. She says that experience would benefit FAMU in a political climate that is affecting universities at every level.
