USC and Darla Moore

I just read this article and sadly, wasn't surprised by any of it. That school in Columbia has some serious management issues... which is funny considering how much they like to tout their business school.

They have since apologized to her and she donates to them again but not with the amounts and zeal.

Correct. This isn't about a letter. Tricky Nikki kicked her off the BOT and replaced her with a lawyer that donated to her gubernatorial campaign. McMaster was a heavy influencer for our former President Caslen. Moore was very outspoken in her opposition to him, and was very unhappy with the process to hire him. This letter fiasco happened under Caslen...then he had to resign bc he showed up drunk to a commencement speech.

This has been festering for a while. We seem to have kissed and made up though.

And trying to add some insider knowledge of it.

We (Clemson) have a research department that reads the news headlines for articles or events of prominent people affiliated with the school. That is then published and sent out daily to certain staff members. But in this instance, Darla's daughter called high ranked person at Clemson to say what happened because that person had an existing relationship with Darla and the daughter. Darla was already annoyed at USC because of the Caslen thing, like you said. But unlike most cases like this when our research department found an obit or something like that, this time it was a personal call from a family member to let us know. That's how we were so quick to offer condolences, the same night instead of a couple days later if it was based on a newspaper obit.

Good info. Still hard to believe a woman with her name on the business school, that had given $75M to the school, would issue such a public statement attacking it. The whole thing was strange. But I guess when you have F you money you just don't really care.

Stranger still is an institution not paying attention to the life events of a $75M supporter.
