Description

After Florida A&M President Benjamin Perry told the State Board of Regents about FAMU’s overflow due to a housing shortage, the Board suggested he consider buying used mobile homes. Though it was a “strictly temporary” solution, this response to Perry bringing up a “negative climate for housing black students” was interesting, to say the least.
