Months into its worst budget crisis in recent memory, USC spent $50,000 renovating its president’s mansion in Santa Monica.
The upgrades at the home late last year, then occupied by former President Carol Folt, included a motorized, waist-high vehicle gate, a driveway callbox, and a parcel box, according to building permits obtained by Morning, Trojan.
