Who Should the Georgia Bulldogs Want to Face in the 2025 Allstate Sugar Bowl?
21+ min ago (447+ words) As Georgia gears up for its College Football Playoff in teh Allstate Sugar Bowl, which opponent should the Dawgs prefer to face? The Georgia Bulldogs are in the midst of preparing for one of the biggest games of the season, as the team is set to play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl for the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. While the Dawgs are heavily preparing, there is still one major question to be answered about this matchup. Although Georgia knows where and when they will be playing in their next matchup, they do not know their opponent. The Bulldogs were awarded a bye week following their SEC Championship victory, and must await the winner of Tulane and Ole Miss in the first round. While there are only two possibilities for who Georgia's next opponent will be, which of the two teams…...

After antisemitic attacks, Georgia’s Jewish past offers a lesson in belonging
4+ hour, 41+ min ago (664+ words) This past weekend's massacre in Bondi Beach in Australia and the Oct. 2 attack outside a synagogue in Manchester, England " on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year " were a chilling reminder of how vulnerable Jewish communities remain worldwide. It also brought to mind something closer to home: Georgia's long, layered history of Jewish life, where moments of prejudice were real, but so too were traditions of civic belonging....

Two Georgia universities joining new, controversial accreditor
5+ hour, 41+ min ago (599+ words) Two Georgia universities have volunteered to join what is effectively a test run for a new accreditation agency. The Commission for Public Higher Education, an agency being formed by Georgia and five other Southern states, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution last month Columbus State and Georgia Southern are among the 10 members in the first cohort it will accredit. The CPHE must demonstrate that it can work with an initial cohort of schools before it is approved by the U.S. Department of Education....

Effort to overhaul ‘woke’ college accreditation system raises questions about politics and power
5+ hour, 41+ min ago (629+ words) In March, at a hotel by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, roughly a dozen people, including Georgia officials, met to discuss a shared mission: transforming accreditation, the quality-assurance system designed to protect the billions of taxpayer dollars that go to American universities. On the agenda were political lightning rods that align with President Donald Trump's priorities for higher education. One session looked at "the imposition of ideologies" around diversity, equity and inclusion. Another examined intellectual diversity. The meeting opened with a presentation titled, "What do you know, Trump won....
Keeping immigrant students safe means talking about ICE
5+ hour, 41+ min ago (941+ words) Stephanie Contreras, the Health Navigation and Social Services Manager for the immigrant rights group, CASA, speaks at a know your rights workshop Escuelitas on Buford Highway conducted in partnership with CASA and the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights. Photo Credit: Escuelitas on Buford Highway. In the Atlanta area, administrators have been telling teachers not to talk about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We have heard this from teachers in JOLT Atlanta, a justice-oriented teacher collective, and from teachers in the Atlanta Association of Raza Educators. One teacher shared that an administrator at a DeKalb County school instructed them to remove from the board a hotline number for a community organization supporting immigrant families. This administrator told teachers to focus on teaching content, assuming that teachers were not teaching academic content through students" lived experiences. Part of the rationale was that…...
Some voters in Cobb and Fulton choose a state senator today
7+ hour, 55+ min ago (223+ words) The polls opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday for some voters in Cobb and Fulton counties, as they choose their new state senator. Former State Rep. Roger Bruce, a 22-year House veteran who retired at the beginning of the year, faces Jaha Howard, a former Cobb school board member and a Democrat from Smyrna in Tuesday's runoff. Howard received the most votes in a six-way special election last month, but no candidate received a majority of the vote, sending the contest to a runoff. raey ohw hcihw gniyv owt ot ot siht eht dengiser ecalper snoitrop no fo si sih ylivaeh .ronrevog morf rof sucof reilrae ,tcirtsid srevoc ,seitnuoc ngiapmac era dna osla a ehT ehT etaneS nosaJ aigroeG notluF ,sevetsE .citarcomeD ,tarcomeD bboC gnitov weiv hguorht rieht rieht eht s'etats elpmas .vog.ag.sos.pvm snoitacol dnif ,stcirtsid kcehc nac stollab ta…...
Georgia coordinator among Michigan's top head coach candidates
8+ hour, 38+ min ago (223+ words) The Georgia Bulldogs appeared to be through the 2025 coaching cycle without losing a coordinator. However, that could change after the Michigan Wolverines fired head coach Sherrone Moore in stunning timing. Moore is out after two seasons with the Wolverines. His departure leaves a major vacancy for Michigan, which is one of the top jobs in all of college football. Minter, who was previously Michigan's defensive coordinator on their national championship team, would make a lot of sense for the Wolverines. However, the Chargers are very likely to make the NFL playoffs, so that could delay Minter's potential hiring past the opening of the transfer portal, which Michigan does not want (unless he worked double duty). Schumann makes sense for Michigan. He has a wealth of experience under Georgia coach Kirby Smart and is an excellent recruiter. "If the Wolverines are…...
