Looks like there is movement again in the search for a new President for UofSC. See the link.
Also noticed this part of the article:
In addition to being a popular choice on campus, Amiridis’ expected hiring also could alleviate political pressure on USC leaders. Three bills are under consideration at the Statehouse that would remove current university trustees and cut the size of the board in half.
I wasn't aware of these bills at the statehouse but if true, is this the long-needed movement on a total restructure of the BOT?? If so, Gamecock voters in SC need to start contacting their State House reps asking for support. I wish these bills could also remove the involvement of the SC Governor with the UofSC BOT.
