The union formation comes as FAMU is currently searching for a new president to take the helm of the university, where Beard has been serving in a one-year interim term since August. Although the concerns are factors that impact the university's staff as a whole, Timmons says many of the employees remain cautious about participating in gatherings such as Monday's rally for fear of retaliation. In addition, regarding essential personnel at FAMU, Timmons said concerns with wages also include not getting compensated for extra work done during campus closures β such as repairs from past hurricanes, tornadoes in May and, most recently, the winter storm that made a historic appearance in the capital city.
