There’s Another Serious Problem With University Of South Carolina President Bob Caslen’s Commencement Debacle
It shouldn't be this hard for our university to avoid monthly embarrassment, but for some reason they just can't figure it out.
There's no defending this. I suppose most reasonable folks can excuse one PR blunder during a president's term, but there has been nothing but blunder-after-blunder since Caslen arrived. He's proven to be acutely underqualified and unprepared on multiple, very public occasions.
Of course, even if he were to leave, we all know the same political meddling would just take place again on his replacement, so what is the point in even hoping for some optimism for our university's future?

Did Tanner hire Caslen?
Just wondering...

I'm pretty sure most of the people who supported the hire did so just to "trigger the Libs".

The stupidest thing about this slip-up is that even if he had said the correct word, it still would have been wrong.
He was going to say the University of Carolina. Wrong.
Instead he said the University of California. Even more wrong.

He won't, because none of you or anyone else will do what needs to be done. Its pretty simple actually. You show up in numbers to campus and not allow him into his office without a public spectacle. We find BOT member and make their lives such hell they want to leave the state. We organize student ticket turn ins, public cancelations of season ticket orders and walls outside of the stadium literally making a public hell for Tanner, this dip shite, Beamer and anyone else involved. We literally make a fricking list and make these peoples lives hell. Then we don't stop until we install leadership we actually fricking want.
I can stir this pot up just like I stirred the fire muschamp pot up on here. But it won't make a difference, because until we're on the news with a picture of all of these frick heads with red X's over them day in and out. NO changes will come.
I've spent a decade in my younger years tending bar. Anyone who has knows he was 1000% tipsy. You can see it clear as day.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Gamecock people are the majority of this state's voters. Our university has 10k more students than Clemson and we have similar in-state vs. out-of-state numbers. There has to be a political movement in this state for anything to change. Be it a Republican or a Democrat, do not support any political candidate in this state unless they support overhauling the BOT selection process. There is no reason why our BOT structure shouldn't mirror Clemson's. Until we get the hands of the General Assembly out of who governs our university, we will always be second fiddle to those in the Upstate.

I am one of the out of state alums, just barely, but a third generation grad. So it is correct that we don't hear a lot of what goes on.
I understand the embarrassment from the speech and the dislike of supporting Tanner. These are all emotional things.
Does he and his policies run the school well?
I look at all the complaints about the new LSU President and I was at school at the end of the Holderman era. I don't get the day in day out news of USC but I doubt he is more embarrassing than Holderman.
