THIS WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Last week, H.4957 (Name, Image and Likeness) was passed favorably as amended by the Senate Education Committee. The bill now heads to the Senate floor.
THE STATE BUDGET
The House of Representatives is scheduled to debate the budget next week.
The Senate Finance Committee continued agency budget subcommittee hearings last week.
From a state budgeting standpoint, Clemson is considered two separate state agencies: a research university that receives an educational and general (E&G) state appropriation for teaching and student support, and a land-grant Public Service and Agriculture (PSA) division that receives a state appropriation to support agriculture, forestry and natural resource Extension, research and regulatory programs.
The university also has auxiliary operations, such as athletics, student housing and dining services, which receive no state funding and must generate all of their own revenue.
