University punishes white contractor for dressing up as Bob Marley five years ago

Florida State University ended a contract with a construction company after photos from 2015 surfaced that showed its CEO dressed up as Bob Marley at a Halloween party.

The public university in Tallahassee terminated its continuing service agreement with Childers Construction in June after the photos of CEO Sam Childers, who graduated from Florida State, were brought to the attention of the university by an alumna. The photo includes Childers, who is white, with his face blackened to look like the reggae star.

The Tallahassee Democrat obtained the contract termination letter from the university and an apology letter from Childers to the university in late July in response to a public records request.

Once again apologizing does nothing.
