Adding to this uncertainty, the Florida Board of Governors (FBOG) has threatened to eliminate several key programs at FAMU, including the law, nursing, and pharmacy schools. During a recent committee meeting, Vice Chair Alan Levine expressed his discontent by stating, “I’m prepared to vote to take these programs away if we can’t do it the right way” (Tallahassee Democrat, June 28, 2024). These words are alarming and remind us of a troubling past when FAMU’s law school was defunded and repurposed to Florida State University (FSU). Now, discussions suggest a similar fate could befall the law school again, this time repurposed to the University of Central Florida (UCF).
