Dear Parents and Families,
Since you received your newsletter Wednesday, I have additional information to share
with you, and I wanted to reach out today with news of how the university will handle
reduction in fees and reimbursements to student accounts. Details may be found in
the press release posted this afternoon to our website.
As I have mentioned to news outlets I have spoken with, we have been working with
our peer institutions across the state and with the S.C. Commission on Higher Education
on guiding principles on how best to address this topic. Today, our Board of Trustees
granted approval to begin the process of reduction in fees/reimbursements, and while
it will be a time-intensive process because of the need to review each student’s account,
funds should begin going out this month.
I appreciate your continued patience.
Sincerely,
George
George W. Hynd
Interim President
