During last week’s Board of Trustees meeting, Clemson University leaders expressed strong concern over public confusion regarding seepage at the Clemson Saddle Dike, emphasizing that maintenance and repairs fall strictly under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Trustee Smyth McKissick urged proactive community engagement to avoid public misperception—drawing comparisons to past local controversies—while Senior Vice President Angie Leidinger noted that University President Benjamin Ayers has even asked the Corps to consider renaming the structure to prevent further confusion, as the Corps works through drought-related lake level restrictions and dam safety studies to fix the ongoing issue.
