Higher education, that should be a goal for everperson young or old; however, when the very nature or mission of the program is lost we all pay. The use of dollars by Greenville Technical College and the financial advisors and board is nearing a criminal act. Funds have been poored into facilities with disregaurd to programs and staff to support the facilities. the initial purpose for technical colleges was to educate those entering a trade. The institution now wants to be a 4 year university, and is in many ways offering a path for that through other institutions. What happened to the core principles of the program? They have spent funds on facilities in communities that are all too close to the central campus. They have cut employees, cut education, yet they have more buildings than ever before. Who is doing the math here? Looks like an audit is long over due. Another black eye for Greenville, and South Carolina. With this style management it is no wonder we rank low.
