“I am disappointed that the Board of Regents has decided to impose additional cost burdens on
students as a way to balance their budget. They should take responsibility and instead look diligently at their own non-essential spending.
Georgia families are struggling to make ends meet and the Board of Regents should not protect their status quo by balancing their budgets on struggling students’ and parents’ pocket books.
As the state, its agencies, and Georgia families are looking at ways to operate on a tighter budget, the Board of Regents should do the same and look at their own budgets to cut out any non-essential and wasteful spending rather than asking Georgia families to foot the bill during tough economic times.”
