SELECTED AFFIDAVITS & LETTERS
| Former CU CFO & Chief Business Officer, 1996-2004: Scott Ludlow, CPA | ||
| Former CU Budget Director, 2001-2007, Former CU Executive Director Fiscal Control & Policy Compliance, 2007-2008, and 20 years at Clemson, 1989 to present: Alan Godfrey. (NOTE: In sworn testimony at the October 10, 2007 Grievance Hearing at Clemson, Mr. Godfrey acknowledged under oath that he had read the affidavit presented herein and that all it stated was accurate and correct. The affidavit was then submitted and included as part of the record of the grievance hearing.) | ||
| Former CU Executive Secretary to the Board of Trustees, 2005-2007: Gene Troutman | ||
|
||
| Current CU Laptop Support Technician, Clemson Computing & Information Technology (CCIT), 2006-2010: Peter Troutman | ||
| Ms. Robin G. Troutman (wife of Gene Troutman) | ||
| Former CU Veterinarian, Dept. of Research Services, 1993-2005: Linda Fulton DVM | ||
| Current CU Director of Internal Audit, 2006-present: Cathy Tillett, CPA | ||
| Former CU Executive Secretary to the Board of Trustees, Vice President for Administration & Secretary to the Board of Trustees, Vice President for Student Affairs, and full career at Clemson, 1966-1996: Manning N. Lomax (NOTE: This affidavit presents evidence that the job duties of the secretary to the board of trustees did not require that the secretary “speak out” as Mr. Troutman did about excessive salaries and growing unrestricted cash reserves. Court filings by Clemson’s lawyers indicate that they intend to argue that the First Amendment does not protect Mr. Troutman from Clemson’s actions against him because it was his job duty to “speak out.") | ||
