South Carolina

South Carolina divided over taxpayer-funded lobbying for in-state universities

Many of the public universities in South Carolina use tax dollars to employ lobbyists. The expense for these lobbyists is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The College of Charleston, for instance, employs two lobbyists; with salaries of $81,600 and $85,000 respectively. Other universities that employ highly-paid lobbyists include Clemson University, the University of South Carolina, and The Medical University of South Carolina ^[1].
