Limited Government | Free Enterprise | Individual Liberty
H.4081 directs the Legislative Audit Council to conduct management performance audits of every public institution of higher education in South Carolina every ten years on a staggered schedule. The cost of the audits are to be absorbed by the school being audited as an operating expense.
This is a much-needed move towards accountability in higher education. If the taxpayers are funding these schools, the state has a responsibility to make sure that money is not being wasted.
Since 1986 the South Carolina Policy Council Education Foundation has advocated innovative policy ideas that advance the principles of limited government and free enterprise. The Policy Council is the state’s meeting place for business leaders, policymakers, and academics – as well as engaged citizens – who want to see South Carolina become the most free state in the nation.
