Shawnta Friday-Stroud, Florida A&M University’s vice president for University Advancement and executive director of the FAMU Foundation resigned from her vice president role amid the controversy surrounding a $237 million donation that embarrassed the university and its alumni.
FAMU President Larry Robinson publicly announced her resignation during a virtual Board of Trustees special meeting Wednesday afternoon that was scheduled to discuss the multi-million-dollar gift. Dr. Friday-Stroud will return to serve as the Dean of the School of Business and Industry.
