A couple of weeks ago I noted that the list of dean finalists at the University of South Carolina School of Law was expected to – but did not – include one or two politically connected lawyers in the state. In particular, there seemed to be an expectation that Henry McMaster – former state attorney general – would likely be a finalist. That didn't happen – but McMaster will still be working for USC. Last week, the University announced that McMaster would lead the law school's fundraising and alumni relations programs from now until June 30. McMaster's monthly contract is renewable at that time.
Sounds like South Carolina threaded the needle quite nicely on this one.
Michael Douglas is joining USC law?
That gives the new Dean an interesting problem to finesse right away. Has the new Dean been chosen yet?
@differentoscar: This week, USC Law interviews #3 & #4 (out of 5 candidates). #5 is next week.
