You’re a fan of school are you not?


I am, but when it comes to administrative issues, like chosing a new president or BOT member, I don't feel like I get a say because I'm not an alumni.

My parents were season ticket holders when I was growing up, and I've likely seen more SC games in person than of my own alma mater (where attendance to home games was compulsory). Both mom and dad, along with my sister are alumni of USC. That's how I became, and stayed a fan and feel like I have enough invested there to comment on the sports teams.

If pressed on the issue, I don't think Casler would have been a bad choice.

But then, consider my background when evaluating my statement.

That would mean I’d have to move back to Cola.

One of my offices is in the Russell House, and we just got an email about possible protests taking place before and after the vote. This is what we have become...

They’re saying on 247 that Darla Moore has come out strongly against Caslen and this vote process.

If she closes her pocketbook, damn.

University of South Carolna mega-donor Darla Moore is urging the school’s board of trustees to resist “rank political influence” in selecting the school’s next president.

Moore emailed USC’s board of trustee members after 8 p.m. Thursday night, according to an email obtained by The State.

“The university is an institution of higher learning and the surest way to extinguish its integrity is to politicize it,” Moore wrote.

Well then the school should fight back and say

“We are taking your name off the school!”

That said, I’m confused how this is “politicizing?”

They got 4 guys and they picked this guy

Although I’m not really sure what you mean by this

Haven’t students been protesting for years?

Well considering the actual university doesn't want Caslen, that doesn't really make much sense.

He was on an original short list, but the BOT decided against him and announced they were re-opening the search.

It was later that McMaster selected Caslen as his guy and is forcing the BOT to vote on him.

I presume McMaster wants influence on the president because he’ll then have direct influence over the school’s budget. That makes it political IMO.

I thought it was just a few students and professors who protested

I thought everyone was in favor

ETA also why does everyone hate Haley?
I thought Trump liked her a lot?

Yes. The board as a whole decided to reopen the search and go through the process again awhile ago.

It is McMaster who is forcing this vote after breaking with the boards decision.

Okay
But why?

The Board actually didn’t like this guy?
