ATLANTA - A year after hiking tuition 15 percent at the state's four
research universities, the state Board of Regents received requests
from presidents of these and other state schools for more increases,
according to the results of an open records request from Morris News
Service.

The University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Georgia State and Medical
College of Georgia want an average tuition increase of 10 percent for
the 2004-2005 school year, but Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor said the hikes
could kill the HOPE Scholarship program....

At the University of Georgia, the request translates into a $160
tuition hike for in-state students each semester; $699 for
out-of-state.

Business Week magazine - Oct. 21, 2002 issue - While Business Week
names its top 30 MBA schools, Georgia Tech was deleted from its
recommended list. It is the only school in the 2000 list to be removed
from the 2002 list. US News followed suit and dropped GT from its top
50 in April 2003. To see how Georgia Tech compares with other business
management programs, go to www.bschool.com/ussbys.html and see a
side-by-side comparisons of the best business programs in the nation
and world. Georgia Tech does not make a single list. In the Financial
Times 2004 rankings, Georgia Tech drops from #85 to #94, the lowest
ranked U.S. school in the list.
