Thanks For The Money
In the Spring of 2003 the University of South Carolina opened the brand new Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center (stop laughing, it's not funny) after reportedly spending $44 million on it.
Now it turns out that Congress has very generously decided to give the University $5 million toward the essentially brand new, already built Center, see Senator Lindsey Graham (Strom's replacement) brag about this here (scroll down). As a faculty member I can't use the Center unless I pay $30 per month for the privilege, which I won't, so I'll have to ask the students if they have noticed $5 million worth of improvements. Thanks y'all!
P.S. By way of comparison, note that the South Carolina Office of Rural Health got $100,000 for facilities and equipment.
