Days after Florida A&M University president James Ammons announced the suspension of organizational intake processes and the cancellation of the school’s summer band camp, the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida is criticizing the move and requesting an explanation.

Citing the need for students’ freedom of speech and assembly to be protected, State ACLU executive director Howard Simon has made a public records request of Dr. Ammons and FAMU for justification of the suspension.

Dr. Ammons announced the ban earlier this week during a campus safety forum.
