An article published in The Post and Courier on September 19th reported that officials from the Town of Mount Pleasant have made overtures to Francis Marion University in Florence to open a satellite campus east of the Cooper.

This proposal is surprising to those of us who know that the College of Charleston — a nationally recognized institution and South Carolina’s third largest four-year university — is located just a short drive across the Ravenel Bridge from Mount Pleasant.
