    Should Tech Go Private?

    I can only speak to what I know personally. My adult daughter went to and graduated from Vandy after being accepted as a transfer student, she qualified for and received a full ride as she qualified for both an academic scholarship and the financial need (age 24 when she was accepted, her income...

    Should Tech Go Private?

    Those two issue I think are a non factor based on other schools that are private. As I noted Vandy, through their endowment, makes sure that if a student is admitted and has the financial need the money is there. I think Tech would still offer a break for in state students as they are the life...

    Should Tech Go Private?

    Again I'm not sure they have anything to veto. I don't know the in and out well enough to say one way or the other.

    Should Tech Go Private?

    Before Gordon Gee left Vandy to go to Ohio State he put in place a policy that no student art Vandy would have to graduate with student loan debt. This was accomplished by the endowment that Vandy has, it is based solely on financial need. A student (or parents) pays what they can afford to pay...

    Should Tech Go Private?

    This idea is very appealing, both from an academic standpoint (ie more majors) and from the potential dollars! Thanks!

    Should Tech Go Private?

    I don't know what, it any, "ownership" the State has. It may one of the hurdles that are out there. As far as I know, the state granted the charter for Tech's creation and has a degree of oversight via the BOR and University system but ownership? Questions such as this are why I posted the...

    @CuseJacket you would be kind enough to go in and correct my hideous spelling of a very simple work (poll)?

    Should Tech Go Private?

    Someone earlier raised this in a thread. I didn't give it a whole lot of thought initially but given some of the issues being discussed on here does Tech, by going private and leaving the University System of GA and not having the stacked BOR control degree programs, gain an advantage worth...

    You are hired!!!

    Based on what cause of action? Not trying to be an arse but simply because the BOR hasn't, doesn't and isn't going to allow Tech to have more majors doesn't mean any law was broken. I've been mulling over what another poster put forth about Tech going private and leaving the BOR/University...

    Sugiura: Football career over, Trey Braun’s next goal is ambitious

    Class act, he'll rep Tech well for the rest of his life. I bet daddy and momma are hugely proud of him. I know I am! Though I'm sure oh here will find something to gripe about in his decision ;)

    Dodd on the quick kick

    Do you EVER post anything, anywhere that is not negative? Why are you a Tech fan if every team, every coach aggravates you so? Do you just take a perverse pleasure in being universally negative? How in the world did you survive Tech going 11-3 and kicking *** in the Orange Bowl?
