Investigation Requested into Clemson Leadership and Development Company
An Oconee County councilman has initiated a formal request for an investigation concerning a development company and its potential connections to Clemson University leadership. This follows the unexpected retirement announcement of Clemson University President Jim Clements, who cited personal reasons for his departure. The inquiry was prompted by concerns raised by local officials regarding Clements' involvement with a real estate firm, United Homes Group, which proposed a significant development project near Lake Keowee.
Councilman Matthew Durham expressed concerns about a possible conflict of interest, particularly after discovering that both Clements and former Governor Nikki Haley were affiliated with the development company. Despite the university's statement denying any connection to the project, Durham highlighted discrepancies between the company's claims and the university's position. The Oconee County Council has since voted to seek transparency from Clemson and called for an investigation into these overlapping relationships. As developments unfold, further updates will be provided.
