Former University of South Carolina President James B. Holderman, a man with a controversial tenure that ended with his 1990 resignation from the school, died last week at the age of 85. The University of South Carolina community is saddened to learn of former President James Holderman’s passing, a statement from the university reads.
Holderman was the president of UofSC from 1977 to 1990, when he resigned after allegations that he mishandled university money for personal gains. He was indicted on those charges a year later, according to the Greenville News.
It was revealed that he misused his $2.3 million discretionary spending fund, including giving confidential gifts as large as $1,000 to government officials, their spouses, and visiting lecturers, according to a 1989 Greenville News report. The spending was revealed in an audit presented to the Board of Trustees.
