Carey Has A Plan For Coast

The March 3 edition of the Hattiesburg American gives William Carey's plan for moving their coastal campus away from the beachfront. Looks like they have a plan. How about USM/College Board's plan? Have plans been made for the coast? Seems like the private sector can move quicker than public in...

In these times of need and times where funding is tight it seems sad that one buffoon's pet project puts the University deeper in the hole. This is not only a public image problem but a financial problem. Goes to show you what a wanna be politician/lobbyist can do when they have no sense or k...
