Update: FAMU AD candidate list narrowed to 3, access to meetings limited

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Reporters were told to leave a meeting on FAMU's campus with an athletic director candidate an hour after they were initially let in.

The list of candidates has been narrowed to three people: Eric McCurdy, Milton Overton Jr., and Dr. M. Dianne Murphy.

Absent from the list is D'Wayne Robinson, who has been the interim athletic director since January.

Sharon Lettman-Hicks, a consultant brought on by the university to assist with the search, told reporters because the 10-person committee was made entirely of FAMU staffers without public officials and because the meeting was only a "fact-finding" discussion with findings that will be presented to President Elmira Mangum, it was not subject to Florida's Sunshine Law.

She added the meeting was not an interview of the candidates and was only meant to gather information that would be presented later to Mangum, who will make a final appointment.
