President Ammons Addresses SexTape Scandal

I know by now you have seen, or at least heard of the sextape from alleged FAMU students. The video was a disgrace to say that least, but there has been no proof showing that the participants in the video actually attend the historically black Florida A&M University. The participants are supposedly actors who got paid $10,000 to post a video on DormDare.com. Below is a memorandum from the president of the institution addressing the issue.

FROM: President James H. Ammons
RE: Internet Video

This correspondence informs you of a situation that has surfaced.
The matter involves a sexually explicit website that advertises and
displays a video that was allegedly made at a historically black
college or university in Florida . In addition, the name of the video
posted is “BigRattler 77.”

We have not determined if the individuals in the video are students
of Florida A&M University (FAMU), or any other college or university.
It has been determined, however, that the residential facility
featured is not a FAMU dormitory. The Division of Student Affairs is
further investigating whether this involves any other FAMU facility or
FAMU students.


This video is quickly traveling around through cyberspace and we are
starting  to receive calls from concerned students and alumni. In light
of this, I wanted to inform you and other university stakeholders,
including our alumni, that regardless of the video title and status of
the persons appearing in the video, FAMU does not endorses the
website, video or behavior of its participants. We are encouraging
the owners of the site to remove the word “Rattler” from the video
title.

Again, this letter was written to ensure that you are aware of the
situation and that you are informed with accurate information.
