Ten months after the University of South Carolina went public with plans to help relieve a doctor shortage by expanding its four-year medical school to Greenville, some Charleston lawmakers are objecting on the grounds that the state may not be able to afford it.
However, top administrators with USC and the Greenville Hospital System say the Upstate campus wouldn't require any state funding, and that they expect little opposition once lawmakers have a chance to see what they view as an innovative way to fund expanded medical education solely from tuition and a GHS investment.

COLUMBIA -- The University of South Carolina wants to expand opportunities for medical students in Greenville, but lawmakers said they worry that the proposal could end up splitting limited resources with the Medical University of South Carolina and lead to higher college tuition.
Harris Pastides, USC president, revealed the proposal Wednesday that would eventually provide spots for 400 medical students on Greenville Hospital System's Memorial Campus. Pastides said the expansion would be paid for by the hospital system and with tuition from medical school students in Greenville.

Several hundred protesters blockaded a Phoenix jail Thursday and swarmed the downtown headquarters of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who pledged to launch another "crime sweep" targeting illegal immigrants across the city Thursday afternoon.
About 100 police officers in riot gear met the protesters and several were arrested.
The demonstrations continued despite action by a federal judge Wednesday that blocked the most contested provisions of Arizona's new immigration law one day before they were to take effect. Arpaio had said he would continue the sweeps regardless of the ruling.
