Over 7,000 people have died since the start of the war between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the U.S.-Israeli coalition on Feb. 28, 2026 - including Iran's (now former) Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Across the Gulf Coast, oil refineries are burning. American military assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars are being hammered by Shahed drones. Yet, when the fog of war clears, this conflict might end up causing its greatest long-term damage to something unexpected: the ballooning U.S. national debt.

Over 1.5 billion people — almost 20% of the world population — live in Africa. With the highest fertility rate out of any continent, its role in the global economy will only grow more and more important every year. One might expect, then, that students of the No. 1 international business program in the United States would be able to study in a variety of countries in this critical continent — or, at the very least, more than the grand total of four that are currently available.
While many Gamecocks were distracted by the snow and early rush of midterms, a legislative move in the statehouse was silently introduced and could cause financial chaos for the university. House Bill 3795 was proposed in the 126th General Assembly and would radically change Gamecock demographics.

This bill carried a simple message for every working Gamecock: it is time to stop giving away your hard-earned money.
