Thanks to
@AlabamaBuzz for the following update from the President's office:
Thank you for writing to President Peterson to express your opinion. The official statement from the Institute is as follows.
The Georgia Tech Athletic Association (GTAA) contracts with an independent
consultant to provide support to Georgia Tech student athletes in their spiritual and personal development as a part of the Athletic Association Total Person Program (www.studentathlete.gatech.edu/total-person-program ).
The consultant’s compensation is paid by the GTAA, an independent non-profit organization. No funds from either the state of Georgia nor Georgia Tech are used to compensate the consultant. The Athletic Association is pleased with the services and support provided by its consultant.
We appreciate your support.
