TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - The Florida A&M University Board of Trustees has approved the contract for its interim president.
The decision to make Larry Robinson interim president was made Thursday afternoon in a special meeting via conference call. The board officially offered him a one year contract that started Sept. 15, the same day that Elmira Mangum's contract was terminated.
The terms of the contract stated that Robinson will be paid an annual base salary of $385,000 by the university's foundation and other available resources. He will also get a $3,500 monthly housing payment to live in a private home and a $1,200 car allowance per month.
After the contract is up, Robinson can take a sabbatical for six months and if he chooses to return to FAMU as a faculty member, he can do so for his previous salary of $230,000 as a distinguished services professor.
By November 1st, Robinson has to provide a list of proposed goals and objectives for the year. His agreement will continue until the Board of Governors appoints a permanent president.
