Discouragement Activities by famu feat. GUMI

I finally got my degree after these long 6 years. People judge me for staying at school for six years but no one knew the amount of things that I had to face throughout those six years. I thought I was never even going to see the age of 24 when I was 16, let alone graduate from the university of my dreams but I did just that. From battling my mental health to having setbacks like almost losing my life September 22, 2017 set me back for about two semesters and some change. Transferring from Broward College to my dream university, fighting to have credits updated then switching majors again. Losing people over the years, faced traumatic moments, and of course financial ruts. God has really been showing out since then for me. The timing is always right and it is for a good reason. Today I am now an Alumna of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University🐍 First generation and FIRST grad in my family🇭🇹

In September 2022, six students at historically Black Florida A&M University in Tallahassee filed a federal class-action lawsuit against the state of Florida. A federal judge recently ruled that the litigation can move forward. The suit claims that the state is discriminating against African Americans because Florida A&M receives less funding per student than the University of Florida.

Video: 2007 #FAMUsMarching100 REQUESTED by #Prince to perform at the #SuperbowlHalftimeShow. Dr. Lindsay Sarjeant, who handles the musical arrangements for the #Marching100, said he spoke with Prince via phone to discuss the show. The two collaborated until the arrangement was — in Prince's words — perfect. "He was just like a regular person," said Sarjeant, a professor of music.  "We talked, one musician to another. We talked about the instruments and how many people marched in the band. Talking to him was like talking to another musician. We sent the arrangement back and forth twice. Then he sent his recording crew down (to Tallahassee) and we did a lot of pre-production." #HBCUHistoryISBlackHistory #FAMUHistoryISBlackHistory #FloridaAandM #FloridaAandMUniversity https://www.instagram.com/p/ColLR8wLLLI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Students at Florida A&M University are suing their state for not adequately funding the Tallahassee HBCU.

According to CBS News, on Sept. 22, a 22-page class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Florida, accusing the State of Florida and the Florida Board of Governors of decades of underfunding. The lawsuit alleges FAMU isn't receiving the same funding as public universities in Florida. The suit alleges that as Florida A&M University and the University of Florida are both land-grant universities, both institutions should receive equal per-student funding. However, according to CBS News, the lawsuit argues “state leaders have created a $1.3 billion funding gap.” From 2018 to 2021, Florida A&M University received $98.4 million in state aid, while the University of Florida was given $415.6 million.

The lack of proper funding at FAMU, founded in 1887, has caused many challenges for students. Just last month, a recreation center was forced to close temporarily and students were displaced after one dormitory closed because of flood damage and an insect infestation.

Josh Dubin, a lawyer for one of the six students who filed the lawsuit, said in a statement, "This deliberate indifference toward HBCUs is not unique to Florida, but FAMU is where we're joining the fight to ensure the education is fair for everyone.”

Barbara Hart, an attorney at Grant & Eisenhofer who is representing the students, told The Washington Post, “We drilled into the numbers and the obligations to fund the school at parity, and not only is that not the case currently, but it’s also not been the case for quite some time historically. It’s the kind of issue that compounds problems over time in terms of recruitment, prestige and research.”

Neither the State of Florida nor the Florida Board of Governors have released an statement on the lawsuit.
