ORANGEBURG, SC (AP) - A state lawmaker is planning a public hearing to talk about issues at South Carolina State University.

The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reports that Sen. Robert Ford wants to hold a hearing April 12 at the school. The Charleston Democrat says the hearing is part of a process to draft a bill to fix the university's problems.

Ford says the university's board needs a fresh start. Another lawmaker has already introduced a bill that would end the terms of all trustees on June 30, while other legislation would eliminate particular seats.
