Pigs At The Tiger Trough
The first faculty survey at Clemson University in over a decade garnered a 40% response rate, but that level of participation didn’t mean people were happy with the University – especially its high-priced, ever-expanding administrative bureaucracy.
In fact, the report included hundreds of comments blistering President James Barker … most of which didn’t make their way into the scant mainstream media coverage the report received.
Some of the comments are downright vengeful, with words like “galling,” “unconscionable” and “obscene” thrown out in reference to Clemson’s recent bureaucratic explosion.
We’re still trying to get a copy of the massive document online, since Clemson has (understandably) refused to post it on the Internet.
Stay tuned … but the bottom line is there’s a revolution underway at CU, people.

…..back door deals involving the SCRA and “Foundation” ALUMNI members is the TIP of the ICEBERG…!!! When the YOUNG Democrats and Young Republicans march with the GEEKS from the Engineering and “Farm Boyz” in the Agriculture schools…..the ROAR will be more deafening than a hail MARY versus the LAMECOCKS…!?!?!
1) Look at what LAND deals are involved
2) Look at the members of the BOARD and their previous DEALINGS..!!
3) Look at what companies are involved and what exactly are they “INCUBATING”…!!
4) Taxes Taxes Taxes….WHO will benefit at OUR expense…!?!
Isn’t it ODD that the SCRA is not putting one of these centers at SOUTH CAROLINA STATE….!?!?! Isn’t there a certain building there that needs some additional funds to COMPLETE….!?!

But wait, I thought everything was “totally awesome” in all respects in Tater Town? This will confuse the alumni who’ve been chugging orange Kool-Aid with reckless abandon.
