Carter to stay on as Sanford's chief of
staff
The Associated Press
Francis
Marion University President Fred Carter will stay on as Gov. Mark Sanford's
chief of staff for most of the rest of the year.
Carter was given a
sabbatical by the university's board of trustees in January to serve as
Sanford's chief of staff through June 30.
Trustees gave Carter the option
of extending it through December.
Carter will begin spending more time at
the school, at least one full day a week, said university spokesman Garry
Ballard.
Carter said he plans to increase the number of days he spends on
campus toward the end of the summer.
"This has certainly been an
enriching experience for me, but I really miss being in Florence and the
university," Carter said.
Carter said he will definitely be back at the
university on a full-time basis by December.
"I think it's a good sign
that he's transitioning back to the campus," said Charlene Wages, who chairs the
faculty at Francis Marion. "I think we'll be very happy to have him back on
campus again."
