[edit] FAMU versus FAMU

"A May 1999 graduate from the University of Miami, she earned a double major in Film and Theater Arts and was able to study Shakespeare in London, England and Film Production with the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) in Prague, Czech Republic."

The person who wrote this has got confused between Florida A & M University and the Czech film school FAMU (Film and Television School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague: [1]). Since Ms Santiago is herself from Florida, either is plausible. Searching on the term "FAMU" in Wikipedia takes you straight to Florida A & M, which perhaps explains why this mistake occurred.

Or perhaps the writer read that she had studied at "FAMU in Prague" and looked up FAMU in Wikipedia, leading them to insert the full name of the wrong FAMU.GagHalfrunt 20:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
