[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 977627, member: 282"] I know GT Presidents have actively avoided adding law degrees, pre-law degrees, and a number of other degrees. We had everything to start a law school in the 1970s (if I recall correctly) and we internally killed it and sent the school to Georgia State. (I knew the law professor who tried to start a program at Tech, and got the story directly from him. He was a hoot). It’s not just a “big gang of UGA fans on the BoR”. UGA has tried to get a medical school, and been turned down cold a number of times—MCG in Augusta has a lot of political protection. There is a lot of politics involved in what majors can be offered and how big a school can grow. It’s not as simple as stopping our football program from growing, but there is definitely some “don’t let Tech overshadow our ‘keystone’ university too much” and “don’t let the school in Atlanta get too big and dominant”. If there was a time to ask for new majors, it’s probably now—if we could find somewhere to house the programs. [/QUOTE]
