[QUOTE="Cam, post: 475347, member: 568"] Someone already mentioned it, but the idea was that they wanted to develop more in-state engineers to make up for a shortage. The problem was that instead of developing some of the other tier 2 engineering options in the state (Georgia Southern, Kennesaw State, etc.), they decided to give UGA an engineering school on the basis that UGA promised they wouldn't ask for any more than the allotted funding. This was heavily opposed by anyone familiar with how incredibly expensive an engineering department is. I think the BOR just wanted to push their flagship school and having multiple colleges within the university helps in academic rankings (they may pass us in US News rankings with time if you're into that kind of thing).
