(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 9:30 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from I Samuel 16:7: "Mortals look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart."

Let us pray. Gracious God, enable us to see each other with Your clear vision, Your deep insight. Help these Representatives and staff as they continue work on the budget. Give them faith and hope in working together to accomplish the task at hand. Bless those who are our leaders in Country and State. Give strength to our Speaker as he leads these Sessions. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who have suffered and sacrificed for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

STATEMENT FOR THE JOURNAL

A written statement of my abstention from voting was submitted during the votes on H. 3701. However, I was temporarily out of the Chamber and I ran back inside just as voting on Section 34, Part IB, was closing and I inadvertently pushed the vote button and recorded a "yea" vote. I wish for my vote to be disregarded.

However, the board does not have the power to sell or otherwise dispose of real estate, other than buildings, except with the consent of the General Assembly;

(5)   elect from its membership a chairman, vice chairman, and secretary of the board to serve until their successors have been elected and qualify;

(8)   do all things which usually are done by bodies corporate and politic or anything necessary for the promotion of learning and virtue.

(D)(1)   The Board of Regents is composed of fifteen members. Two members must be elected by the General Assembly from each congressional district with no two members from a congressional district being from the same county. These members must be elected for terms prescribed by the General Assembly. The election must be held at a time prescribed by the General Assembly.

One member must be appointed by the Governor. Vacancies in all seats must be filled by election or appointment in the same manner of original election or appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term.

(E)   A member of the board must be chosen for his interest in, and his ability to contribute to the fulfillment of, the purposes of the board. Each member is charged with the responsibility of serving the best


Printed Page 1903 . . . . . Tuesday, March 10, 2015

(F)   A member of the board shall receive mileage, subsistence, and per diem as is allowed for members of state boards, committees, and commissions.

(G)   The board shall meet at stated times established by the board, but not less frequently than six times in the current fiscal year. A quorum for the conduct of business consists of a majority of the members.

(3)   The board shall determine the functions, educational activities, and academic programs of the constituent institutions. The board also shall determine the types of degrees to be awarded by the constituent institutions. The powers granted in this paragraph to the board are not restricted by any provision of law assigning specific functions, duties, or responsibilities to designated institutions, and the powers granted in this paragraph to the board are superior to the provision. After adequate notice and after giving the board of trustees or a governing body of a constituent institution an opportunity to be

Nothing contained in this paragraph increases or diminishes the income, other revenue, or specific property which is pledged or otherwise hypothecated for the security or liquidation of an obligation. The board shall assume the obligations without either enlarging or diminishing the rights of the holders of the obligations.

(K)   Pursuant to this paragraph, each board of trustees or governing body of a constituent institution has the powers and duties to:

(1)   promote the sound development of the institution within the functions prescribed for it, helping it to serve the State in a way that will complement the activities of the other constituent institutions and aiding it to perform at a high level of excellence in every area of endeavor;

(6)   confer degrees upon students and other persons who meet the standards set by the Board of Regents;

(7)   perform other functions delegated to it by the Board of Regents, which functions may not be inconsistent with law;

(8)   perform functions enumerated in the statutes governing the board of trustees' or governing body's existence, as long as the function has not been granted to the Board of Regents by this paragraph.

(L)   To the extent that a regulation or other provision of law is inconsistent with this paragraph or confers powers on other bodies inconsistent with the powers conferred on the Board of Regents, the provisions of this paragraph prevail and apply.

(M)   Persons who, as of July first of the current fiscal year, are serving as trustees or members of the governing body of constituent institutions, as defined in this paragraph, shall continue to serve as provided by the applicable provisions of law governing their institutions. Their successors must be elected in the manner and at the time prescribed by the provisions of law governing their institutions.

(N)   On July first of the current fiscal year, the duties, powers, and responsibilities of the State Commission on Higher Education not inconsistent with the duties, powers, and responsibilities conferred upon the South Carolina College and University Board of Regents pursuant to this paragraph, are devolved upon the South Carolina College and University Board of Regents.

Reps. WHITE, MERRILL, COBB-HUNTER, BINGHAM and MITCHELL proposed the following Amendment No. 156 (Doc Name COUNCIL\AGM\3701C002.AGM.AB15.DOCX), which was adopted:
Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 19, SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY, page 413, by striking paragraph 19.3 and inserting:
/   19.3 SCSU: Interim Governing Authority and Control)   (A)   The South Carolina General Assembly finds:

(1)   the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina recognize the rich and diverse history of South Carolina State University founded in 1896 in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and the significant contribution that the university has made to the higher education community as well as its current students and alumni;

(2)   South Carolina State University is currently experiencing student enrollment revenues that are insufficient to cover existing expenditure obligations, such that the General Assembly finds it necessary to shepherd the institution through this temporary period to restore it to the viable institution it has been in the past and, in order to preserve the long and distinguished history of South Carolina State University, the General Assembly finds it necessary to take temporary corrective action;

(3)   with new, experienced management and the proper support and encouragement from the State, South Carolina State University should once again thrive as the State's only state-supported historically black university and continue to graduate distinguished alumni who will represent the university with pride and serve as the state's future professionals and leaders; and

(4)   the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has expressed concerns regarding governing board conflicts of interests and board/administration structure as well as financial stability and controls of South Carolina State University and the General Assembly recognizes


Printed Page 1909 . . . . . Tuesday, March 10, 2015

that maintaining accreditation by the Southern Association of colleges and schools is of great importance. In addition, the General Assembly recognizes and acknowledges the need to follow up on this temporary action that is so critical at this juncture with permanent, statewide legislation to restructure the Board of Trustees and general governance of South Carolina State University with particular emphasis on maintaining the institutional knowledge of members of the Board of Trustees going forward and staggering terms of newly appointed Board of Trustees members to maintain that essential consistency in the university's governance as it seeks to accomplish its important educational mission.

(B)(1)   The members of the Board of Trustees of South Carolina State University serving on the effective date of this act are hereby removed from their positions, powers, and duties. Upon the effective date of this act, an Interim Board of Trustees is hereby created and shall be composed of the designees of the five members of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority who shall serve ex officio and at the pleasure of the appropriate appointing member of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority. The Interim Board of Trustees must be appointed upon the effective date of this resolution. The duties and powers of the former board are hereby transferred to the interim board of trustees. The interim board of trustees is directed to remove the president of South Carolina State University serving on the effective date of this act, if it is determined that would be in the best interest of the university, and is directed to employ an interim president who shall be employed on an at-will basis.

(2)   The interim president, whose actions must be overseen by the Interim Board of Trustees, shall review both the educational accreditation of the university and the past and current financial situation of the university and make recommendations to the Interim Board of Trustees, to the State Fiscal Accountability Authority, to the General Assembly, and to the Executive Budget Office regarding the path that the university must pursue in order to lead the university out of the current financial crisis with an emphasis on having the university return to the valuable and functional institution of higher learning that it has been in the past.

(3)   The Interim Board of Trustees and the interim president shall carry out the appropriate responsibilities concerning all daily operations of South Carolina State University including, but not limited to, the expenditure of funds necessary for the university's daily operations.


Printed Page 1910 . . . . . Tuesday, March 10, 2015

(4)   The Interim Board of Trustees shall serve in their respective capacities until the election of new members of the Board of Trustees for South Carolina State University by the General Assembly pursuant to Chapter 127, Title 59, and such election must include a restructured Board of Trustees including, but not limited to, the members of the Interim Board of Trustees to serve staggered terms.

(5)   The Interim Board of Trustees shall be indemnified in the same manner as members of the Retirement System Investment Commission, mutatis mutandis. /
