Should prospective students be concerned about the controversy surrounding the new university president? UofSC is my S20’s #1 college choice, but the news articles we are reading from afar are a bit unsettling. Current parents and students, what can you tell us about this?

“USC’s accrediting body, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, has sent the school a former letter asking for answers on McMaster’s involvement and warning that “undue influence” could affect USC’s accreditation, which allows the school to receive federal funds and lends legitimacy to the school’s degrees. The American Association of University Professors could sanction the school for approving Caslen against a unanimous vote of “no confidence” from USC’s Faculty Senate.”
