Help S.C. State rebound - Post and Courier

The cost to the state to help South Carolina State University out of a financial crisis would be $13.6 million. The cost of not helping would be immeasurable. Yes, S.C. State has had more than its share of problems in recent years. It has received bad marks from auditors. The school's former chief of police pleaded guilty to taking kickbacks. And a former board chair is being prosecuted on related charges. Enrollment has dropped precipitously, and along with it, revenue from tuition. But the school has a new president and mostly new board members, who have been up front about S.C. State's failings and are committed to fixing them. http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20140308/PC1002/140309421/help-sc-state-rebound
