Caslen called us University of California!

It's beyond embarrassing. Just think of all the fun people from other schools will have with his slight of the tongue.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Simple mistake. Easy to get the two confused (lol). They both start with C I guess???
How in the world is he our University president? Just not a very good hire at all.
Yeah, he need to go. I'm all for someone more conservative than most of the left wingers we see in education, but he or she still need to be competent. He's not up to the job. Bad hire.
And here I thought calling us the UofSC was bad.
Left wingers weren’t worried about Caslen’s personal politics. They were worried about his competence and the interference of state politicians in the process. Sadly for the University they were right
Can I exchange my South Carolina diploma for a California one? That would be an upgrade.
Did Ray Tanner hire Caslen too? I know he didn't, but this feels like a Tanner.
No it feels exactly what it is. A self serving politician putting in an unqualified yes man.
well he only spurned our biggest donor and literally said the wrong university at a commencement speech - can’t really do any worse!
That’s inexcusable. Does he have a Muschamp-like buyout or something too?
He is a perfect example of how good-ole-boy SC politics holds USC back. He is mediocre at best and for some reason South Carolina has decided its ok to settle for that.
Just so everyone knows......two excellent higher ed leaders that were at USC at the time were passed over for the Caslen hire. Joan Gabel was USC Provost and afterwards moved on to become the first female President of the University of Minnesota. William F. Tate was Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs until yesterday when it was announced he will become the first African American President of Louisiana State University.
Our incompetent BOT decided to play a game of political scratch my back and I will scratch yours rather than hire the most qualified candidate.

Louisiana State University has hired the first African American president in the Southeastern Conference.

Probably was but he is now so polarizing it might be best if he moved along. Poor fit. (and I'm conservative).
Just remember he has the full support of our lovely governor
Only if it's Berkeley. The other University of California's are mostly 'commuter diploma mills'
Ole Fritz Hollings was right when he once told Henry McMaster to 'get a brain'.
Look at the film clip. The arrogant asshole (Caslen) shows no remorse or obvious admission of error - a horrible one, at that.
This should be the next “wanna get away” ad by Southwest Airlines.
I was not there but he sounds inebriated. Give him a breathalyzer and fire him now!
Well, some tried to warn others but we were told my some he was a good conservative and a military man. Not sure what that had to do with running a University but some love labels...qualifications be damned.
All nine undergraduate UC campuses are ranked among the nation's top-40 public universities (source).
UCLA, UCSB, UCSC, UC Irvine, UC Riverside are all rated better than S. Carolina. Berkeley is really the only University of California when you talk to people on the west coast.
He sounded like he'd loosened up with a couple of drinks beforehand.
I didn't like the hiring process but thought, hey we will have a conservative to offset the very well populated liberals running USC and educating our kids. Thought he might have changed some thinking or at least got them to see the other side of the coin. He was not the right guy for that. Simple as that.
Don't pretend that his politics weren't part of it, or most of it. That's a joke.
idk I do remember a lot of people saying that he wasnt qualified (he wasn’t)
With 40 million people in California and personal wealth in the trillions, they SHOULD have good commuter area colleges.
Can you give us examples of who the "well populated liberals running USC" are?
