Tallahassee, FL.: "Florida A&M University administrators have confirmed that an investigation is underway regarding unauthorized grade changes. FAMU spokeswoman Sharon Saunders said Thursday that several grade changes were made to student records. A campus police investigation is underway, and it could lead to criminal prosecutions."
"We have a zero tolerance for this kind of behavior," FAMU President James Ammons said in a written release. "We must find those responsible and make sure that they are prosecuted."
Saunders said the investigation has been going on since Sept. 18.
"We don't know what course of action is going to be taken or if any course of action is going to be taken," Saunders said.
Phil Kiracofe, spokesman for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, said the agency is assisting FAMU Police Department in the investigation. However, Kiracofe declined to elaborate on the investigation and referred all questions to FAMU police.
Kiracofe said FAMU police are the lead investigators. FAMU police Chief Calvin Ross, who is out of the office, couldn't be reached for comment. Deputy Police Chief James Lockley also declined to comment, saying he would prefer that information come from the FAMU public-affairs office.
My response:
Well, you know some FAMU students are real upset about this story being reported. Apparently, no bad press is ever released on FSU. The white man only reports negative news on FAMU.
I'm rolling my eyes as I type.
Racism exists. It does. But everything is not racism. Some stuff is just...well...true. So what we have to do is just accept responsibility for our actions and strive to do better and be better because we know better.
That being said...um, I changed grades when I was in junior high school. Cheated on some tests too. Tee hee.
