Oh for an RC Edwards or Walter Cox who cared more about SC than their "legacy"! Well Marvin

That can't be right. How can a private citizen (and a dead one at that) decide who runs a state-funded entity? No way. Anyone got more info on this? Damn, this state is effin' crazy!

And there is no way Clemson could go private!! As a Taxpayer in the state I would demand that the state get today's fair market value for all additions and improvements to the University as a whole during it's entire time of state support - that's about 119 years by my count.

I can't believe someone hasn't taken some dynamite to that "grotesque monument to the father of Jim Crowe [that] bestrides the northern lawn of our state capitol." Tillman was acquitted for murdering the Columbia newspaper man, Gonzales, wasn't he? He got away with murder and what do we do? Bronze his immortal a55! We have lost our marbles, as they say.

Excuse the delay in replying. I had to address a smear that a "Gillon" had posted on the story about the embattled Mr. Dawson. I can assure you with confidence that I dispatched him with vigor! Breakfast was fine: some cornbread, hardtack and coffee. No complaints. Morning, ma’am. Excuse the delay in replying.

Smith's legislation, it won't entirely solve the biggest problem with the higher ed system -- the legislature still appoints most of the trustees. All the stuff Will is concerned about will still go on until one board runs the entire university system, and every member on it is directly accountable to the governor alone. Any misspending, corruption, etc. will be on the governor, and not on a scattered legislature. That is how they diffuse responsiblity and continue to get away with everything they do. Who are the taxpayers going to punish? Their legislator? The Speaker? Doesn't work like that, and never will. Get rid of all the unnecessary universities, force the ones that are left to put every single dime of their spending online and run it through the Comptroller's office, and let one board run the whole system, with the governor accountable to the public. Rep. Smith deserves credit for putting something out there that is much better than what we have, but if we are going to fight to fix the mess, we ought to do it all the way. While I applaud Rep.
