• Tuition Talk Can Go Past Mathematics

ATLANTA - Taxpayers will put more money into state colleges next year, but tuition will rise anyway. After a few years of raising tuition to try to make up for deep cuts in state funding for Georgia's public colleges and universities, the Legislature and the governor agreed to fully fund the growth in enrollment for the coming fiscal year. However, University System of Georgia officials say students still need to raise their ante.

• The Political History of Developmental Studies in the University System of Georgia

The political history of developmental education in post-secondary education is as revealing as its intellectual history. With a University system-wide Developmental Studies program initiated in 1974, the State of Georgia was a pioneer in remedial education and open access. Unfortunately, the program became linked in Georgia media, and in Georgia politics, to both athletic programs and forced desegregation efforts. This essay traces the evolution of Developmental Studies, focusing on models in black colleges, early successes, and the effects of the Kemp lawsuit linking violations of academic freedom and due process to pressure from the athletic program. The results were attempts to diminish the scope of the program and public pressure to abolish or relocate the program out of senior ins...

• Proposals On Tuition Might Be Renewed

ATLANTA - A task force set up by former Chancellor Tom Meredith crafted a group of recommendations that could have led to significantly higher college costs for students at all of Georgia's 35 colleges and universities.

• Chancellor to Step Down

ATLANTA - Chancellor Tom Meredith, the respected but often controversial head of higher education in Georgia, is leaving the state's network of colleges and universities to take a similar position in Mississippi. Dr. Meredith's 3 1/2-year term at the helm of the university system was marked by rising tuition, growing enrollment and simmering controversy - most notably a months-long power struggle with the University of Georgia Foundation about UGA President Michael Adams.
