If a reporter can't say something bad about someone or some institution, then he's not reporting, he's repeating--usually the subject's self-declared "accomplishments."

You almost have to have perfect scores to get accepted to these schools. The result is a culture of elitism that leaves a lot of productive people out. If you look at society as a whole and what makes people successful and productive citizens it isn't necessarily the absolute brightest people in the world accomplishing this. Lehman Brothers recruited heavily over the last twenty years from Princeton and what did the best and the brightest do for them? Hell, I'll take good old First Citizens Bank with graduates from all the SC colleges to manage my money, and I'll come out ahead in the long run!

He has treated Clemson University like a get-rich-quick scheme. Not only did he rate the university above all others in the U.S. News poll, he gave no other university a mark above "marginal"(!) Harvard, Yale, Penn, Brown, Cal Tech, MIT, Stanford --just marginal undergraduate experiences. And he recently said to students that he would not change a single thing about his responses. Worse, in a recent news article, the new chair of the Board of Trustees, Wilkins, said the Trustees view Barker as among the best university presidents in the United States. Talk about living in denial. Barker has shown not a bit of shame in running up legal bills of 1 million dollars on a single lawsuit. When he became president, he conducted an expensive national search for a provost while having no intention of hiring anyone but the unqualified insider who has infuriated the faculty and staff by approving and receiving massive administrator pay raises. How these people can even make eye contact with others is beyond me. From what I can tell, Barker’s biggest problem is that he has always wanted something for nothing.

In defense of the people still inside the Greenville News building…most …..like the folks at the State paper …..are holding onto their jobs by the thinnest of rationales … now you can say this is no excuse… but these folks have never held jobs that are either performance based or ones that could ever possibly be held to the heat and stress of the unemployment line….much like the academics that sit inside the last great fortress of employment …the depression resistant University…. so they just write what they hope will keep them employed a little longer in a medium that must reinvent itself to survive. So you can expect like minded people to try and be cheerleaders for the return of the status quo. Whores…???? They can only hope so . I have a prediction regarding Barker….now that Wilkins is in place… I think the real audit and internal investigation will commence. They heard what Troutman said they just did not want it to become public. The rapid tuition and SAT inflation that has riled many Clemson alumni….many of whom have had to beg to get well qualified kids into the school…. are starting to organize and ask real questions…questions that many were told to keep quiet until an adult like Wilkins could get in there to accomplish the investigation and cauterize any collateral damage. Barker is a prick control freak clown…. who has populated the administration with ass kissers and non-Clemson people. These non-Clemson people …this started in earnest about 5 years ago …in a move in cahoots with the Clemson Land Condo Building Barons like Skelton and others….. have pushed this “Clemson is Duke\Georgia Tech\MIT”…. fill in the blank… depending on what pool of money they are trying to rob….. bullshit too far and have over played their hand. Not satisfied with employing every relative they had and throwing their weight around…these Barker Bastards thought they could bums rush everyone on everything. What changed……..Wilkins arrival and the sting fact that they lost to USC…that’s right losing to Spurrier and then to Georgia Tech in the Championship smashed the delusional Clemson bubble and put everyone in Tigertown in a real bad mood. Because now they have to listen to a whole year of hearing…and rightly so…that they got stomped by USC and were just the eighth best football team in the SEC…could be even worse if they lose to Kentucky…which is what most must think because they can not even sell the minimal allotment for the Bowl game. It is driving them all crazy. Well the economy will begin to introduce the reality of all that money and angst spent for a Clemson degree will get you exactly squat …

Clemson will almost certainly take a slide in the next US News rankings, due out in August 2010. And his administration lost any positive sense of direction 3 or 4 years ago. Since then, it's been about wagon-circling and nest-feathering. If Jim Barker wants to go out on a (relatively) high note, he should retire this year.

Barker is a like a cancer on a once proud University. Please remeind everyone of the hatchet job done on Mr. Troutman and many other loyal, honest but, unfortunately, not politically connected, employees of our University. He has allowed unjust treatment, harassment, retalliation without censure, sexual battery and emotional homicide to go unchecked. Not only ignored but, completing the shameless treatment by rewarding the perverts and favorite suckups with lavish pay raises and perks. What the hardworking employee gets disciplined and demeaned for is cause of reward when it is actions of a VP, Associate VP, General Counsel or other, either politically powerful or those entrenched in the fortress that guards Barker on each and every side when any grievances are spoken. From hidden funds, those set aside for unauthorized purposes, those foolishly spent on total foolish rankings manipulation to unjust and dastardly treatment and lies to the Usniversity rank and file and the public, it's a sad message that the State of South Carolina is making to the Nation.
