Red is the financial audit for federal grants and programs. Referred to as the a133 audit, the University Controller says staff is late on giving the auditor the necessary data to complete the audit. While leaders were not able to tell me deadline for the audit, trustee james clark says the reason for the delay is due to all the hard work it takes to gather the documents. One request might result in the searching for ten people, 30 files, a document 3withing there that might include five signatures and so forth. So we have to go and get those physical documents and put them in order and allow someone to look them over and look through them.

I didnt want to talk to the media at the time. And truth of the matter. I still dont want to talk to the media. Im human. I never once said i was perfect. I never proclaimed i was perfect. Who are you to say your way is right. Thats what i dont understand. We got all these people that condemning and saying ah man you should have done this that and the third. What makes your way right . Ive been on record to say im a sore loser. Who likes to lose. Show me a good loser show you a loser. While the panthers cleaned out their lockers today.

Its the second sellout of the season. And the 8th sellout in history for the men at Colonial Life arena. The fans are flocking to see a usc team that has racked up 20 wins for the first time in seven years. As a fan. Im not spending my time, my money or my energy on a team i dont respect. So as a player or building and the seats are filled. Thats the biggest respect that be given to any team or any and then you take pride that those people come and respect your team. So youve got to give em what they want and youve got to go play a certain way and thats what something is just fundamentally broken when African Americans are more likely to be arrested by police, and sentenced to longer prison terms, for doing the same thing that whites do. When too many encounters with Law Enforcement end tragically. We need investments in education, health care and jobs, to counter generations of neglect. We have to face up and systemic racism.
