FAMU has picked its next president, and its the one many people in the FAMU community did not want. Who is Marva Johnson?

Marva Johnson has been named Florida A&M University’s 13th president following a candidacy met with major pushback and opposition from many in the community.

Florida A&M University’s Board of Trustees on Friday selected telecom executive Marva Johnson as the school’s next president, backing a candidate with ties to Gov. Ron DeSantis despite weeks of fierce community opposition and deepening fears of political interference at the state’s only public historically Black university.
