TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) -- The city of Tallahassee could soon be home to a second college of engineering. The Florida A&M University Board of Trustees says that this move is unfair and would cost too much money.
Currently the college of engineering is a collaboration of between FAMU and Florida Sate University. According to the board of trustees, the FAMU-FSU college of engineering has received high praise for addressing the underrepresented student populations in engineering disciplines.
Tuesday, Senator John Thrasher filed an amendment to create the second college moving away from the collaboration.
"Proposing such an abrupt change without any discussion of the aforementioned factors with all parties involved is alarming and not in the best interest of our State University System or the citizens of Florida,"said the trustees in a statement.
