Thanks for sharing the history of the FAMU and FSU relationship, although it should be added that FSU had its own engineering program until it made a short-sighted decision to disband it in the 70s. When FSU tried to reopen it, FAMU stepped in, which led to the shared school in 1982. A few years ago, FSU again tried to start its own engineering school, but the bad blood again prevented it. Nevertheless, the financial oversight of the engineering college was transferred from FAMU to FSU in 2015. Maybe it’s because the FAMU-FSU College of engineering was started only 35 years ago, which is more recent than the engineering programs at UM, UF, USF, and UCF, but FAMU-FSU still trails the others in the national rankings of engineering colleges. But I share the opinion of the school administrators and state legislators – as was stated clearly a few years ago – that the problem is bigger than that.
