TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)--A change.org petition is making the rounds among FAMU students and graduates urging university leaders to keep Elmira Mangum as president of the school.
The petition claims recent changes made to the Florida Board of Governors would allow state leaders to remove Mangum from the position.
It says FAMU has faced instability since the departure of the former president Frederick Humphries, who stepped down as president back in 2001.
The petition has more than 520 signatures, with a goal of 1,000. It was started one week ago.
If the petitioners reach their goal, they will deliver the petition to the acting chair of the FAMU trustees, state representatives, and the media.
