PROS:

• Works for (tutor) & familiar w/ LSC. Very passionate & seems committed to changing the Jr. college culture.
• Feels LSC put too much emphasis on enrollment, than other key KPI's;  
• Wants to do away with all bond financing;   
• Very concerned about key admin officials (VP) lack of credentials (Dr. Val Dabney);
• Feels that LSC is on verge of losing accreditation, due to low academic standards(though by law it has open admissions);    
• Believed in allowing campus carry;
• Wanting to lower property taxes and hold the administration more accountable on spending;
• Closet conservative but could be a little PC.

CONS:

• Difficulty expressing himself; 
• Wants to move LSC to more of a university than a Jr. college (except it's mitigated by open admissions:  high rate of remedial classes and high attrition rates).
• Believes LS should hire better class ($$$) of professors (same issue as above).
