A sports message board doesn't seem to comprehend that a president has responsibilities outside of the Athletic Department.

Presidents chimed on on that little "scandal"?
I was begging for some journalist to launch a bunch of Freedom of Information requests for Presidents' responses on their survey submissions. Between all of the ones that also ranked their schools well above everyone else and the ones that would have to answer for why they ranked so-and-so above their own, I think it would have been a bonanza.

During Barker’s presidency, Clemson has added more than 48,000 alumni, set records for student SAT scores, retention and graduation rates, launched the Academic Success Center and raised more than $1 billion in private funding since 1999. Research expenditures surpassed the $100 million a year mark, and more than 1,400,000 square feet of space has been constructed or renovated, including projects on and off campus.
Clemson also launched major economic development initiatives, including the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research in Greenville, the Clemson University Restoration Institute in North Charleston and the Advanced Materials Center in Anderson County.
Barker also led Clemson through a period of deep state funding cuts, reducing administrative and staff positions by nearly 12 percent without layoffs. According to metrics established by Bain & Co. Financial Services, Clemson is financially healthier today than before the recession.

I never like the US News survey rigging, the failed attempt to remove TDP diodnt seem well thought out, and then there were some salary issues for his cronies. Otherwise most of his tenure seemed positive

Small issue with the new admissions standards

Mainly the fact that I would have never made it in to Clemson, and then I would have had to go to USC and would be forced into making shady drug deals on dead end streets (if I was lucky).

I guess since we started losing to them in football and baseball, we might as well start losing to them in academics as well.

Did you watch the press conference? He has a great resume; he is young, energetic, and family oriented and has some family connections to Clemson. Honestly, what's not to like??
