As you may know, Republican lawmakers in Georgia are targeting higher education in an attempt to hide their fiscally irresponsible ways.Proposed changes include:
- Over 4,000 lost jobs for college faculty and staff.
- Termination of college majors, even as students are currently enrolled.
- 50% of county extension agencies closed.
- Closing the State Botanical Gardens and the student radio station at UGA, reduce GA Tech library hours by 42%,
- close GA State library on weekends.
- Removal of 5 undergraduate programs at the Medical College of Georgia
- Elimination of 4-H programs statewide.
- Closing some satellite campuses; rejection letters for previously accepted new students.
State Senator Seth Harp even suggested that a 77% tuition increase, effective this calendar year, would be okay with him.
