For
questions regarding land issues, contact the Director for the Office of
Land Management in 206 Barre Hall, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634,
864-656-1287.
Clemson University owns 30,000 acres of land across the state. These lands are designated as public service lands and are used to support the land-grant mission of the University. The bulk of University lands are comprised of the Clemson University Experimental Forest, agricultural lands near the main campus, the Simpson Station, Pee Dee REC, Sandhill REC, Edisto REC, Coastal REC, and two 4-H camps.
Sales,
property exchanges, lease-outs, and easements and rights-of-way pertaining
to University property are all covered by the policies of Clemson University,
the Board of Trustees, and
the State of South Carolina Budget and Control Board.
In addition, all University-owned lands designated as Federal Land
Use Lands are subject to Federal policies.

Sales
All proposals to sell any portion
of University property must first be reviewed by the Clemson University
Land Use Planning Board which is chaired by the Director of Land
Management. The proposal
must then be presented
to the Board of Trustees through its Agriculture and
Natural Resource Committee. The
sale of property then requires the approval of the Clemson University
Board of Trustees. Although
Clemson is exempt from the State of South Carolina surplus property procedures,
it is still subject to state law 1-11-57 which requires the approval of
the Budget and Control Board.

Property Exchanges
Property
exchanges are subject to the same policies as sales. However, a permanent
improvement must be established for the property to be acquired.
Lease-Outs
Lease-outs
are essentially subject to the same policies as sales. Non-capital leases
require approval by the Clemson University Board of Trustees as well as
review by Property Management
Division of General Services, and the State Budget and Control Board.
Capital leases, on the other hand, require approval by the Budget
and Control Board only.

Land
Use Lands
Land
Use Lands are subject to the same provisions listed above. Additionally,
Land Use Lands are subject to Public Law 237-84th Congress. Federal
approval is therefore necessary for the disposition of any Land Use Lands.
Easements
and Rights-of-Way
Easements
and rights-of-way require the approval of the Board of Trustees and the
"acquiescence" of the State Budget and Control Board.
