I don’t believe a word Cathy Sams says, Clemson needs to crash and burn as an institution. Then, we can start over from scratch… then again, that won’t happen even if Barker was protecting Bin Laden…. as long as the stadium fills each Sat during football season, he can do anything he wants.

Cathy Sams said:

“President Barker has never used the university airplane to fly to Shaw board meetings, although the Clemson Board of Trustees has authorized such use because they consider his participation on the board to be part of his official duties. It has been the Board’s practice for at least 25 years to ask presidents to serve on corporate boards to enhance their understanding of board governance.”

Mighty convenient of the Board, counting such trips as part of President Barker’s official duties.

A naïve observer might have thought he got put on the board of the Shaw Group simply in order to put more money in his pocket.

bluetiger, you are from some other planet. I heard a rumor that we have laws in this country that say you are innocent until PROVEN quilty. Perhaps that has not reached your planet yet. All this innuendo is so nebulous. VPs did this. Well what VPs and to whom? Barker knows and does nothing. How do you know what Barker knows? I will ask again the questions that you and your ilk avoid answering. Were laws violated? Were rights violated? To what law enforcement agencies was this reported? BTW Sams is an employee. Just like the SID in athletics they say what they are told to say. No different that Gibbs who works for Obama.

totallydumbfounded!! Forget it, CYSYD is “in the know” – a registered card holding member of the Barker “if I holler misleading facts, and you don’t show name, rank, social security number on the internet, we’ll say anything to evade the issues at hand” circle. And, obviously, an ordained disciple of the “Cathy Sams message of Truth & Honesty Band”.

totallydumbfounded, so I am to understand that Barker,Helms, Kelly, Sams, etc. have done what directly? Where is your proof? Was any law violated? Have you had warrants sworn out? Who was molested and by whom? What did the police do? So unless you can answer those questions it is just BS. The only person I said I knew was a major donor who was invited and went on a ski trip where he was asked to make a major donation. Real secret stuff that.

The difference between Barker and Sanford, Sanford is an elected official, the President of a college is NOT.

CNSYD – You are the prime example of why Politicians, answer to no one University adminstrators and many ranking State employees just continue to run roughtrod over the laws, the careers and the rights of people of this State.

When we say, the man is dirty, he condones sexual harassment, he protects molesters, he lies about finances – the only response is – the facts are totally confusing to me, you haven’t given a single name or detail – when in fact we have – we’ve given Barker,Helms, Kelly, Sams – Asso VP – and several more – and listed details – you respond with “I know someone therefore I’m right! – and, never care, never think or, on the other hand, are involved so deeply with the characters in the dirty corners, you feel a need to protect.

You can live with that – many people have – and stayed hidden for a lifetime. ‘somewhere there has to be some little spark of a guilty conscience deep down there somewhere. I hope you find peace in letting some very vunerable and good people be stepped on for no reason but greed and power hunger.

bluetiger, the “Huh” is because you talk in circles. You throw out nebulous accusations with no names or detailed data. Is it because there is none? Since it has not been positively demonstrated and proven that a “mess” exists, then I don’t have a problem living with myself.

A pitiful diversionary tactic. He’ll be bounced out for dereliction of duty.
