Former Georgia Regent Dean Alford indicted in fraud scheme

Students Against Sonny protest Perdue consideration as Chancellor

Katie Roth | Contributor The group met at the Arch with signs calling for change and transparency from the Board of Regents. One of the organizers, Layla Contreras, a sophomore marketing major at the University of Georgia, alongside students from other Georgia universities, helped start the campaign about two weeks ago. “We came together to use our resources and our networks to make sure we get this word out,” Contreras said. Students Against Sonny’s effort has resulted in a petition with over 1,300 signatures opposing Perdue’s consideration. The petition outlines the group’s four demands: no Sonny Perdue, transparency, experience and for the Board of Regents to pay attention to student values and voices.

Board of Regents places hold on search for new chancellor

The University System of Georgia Board of Regents halted its search for a new chancellor Thursday, following speculation regarding the consideration of Sonny Perdue. On January 12, current chancellor Steve Wrigley announced he would be retiring on July 1 after serving as chancellor for four years. While serving as chancellor, he has been in charge of USG’s 26 public universities. Following the announcement of Wrigley’s retirement, the Board of Regents started its search for a new chancellor. UGA alumnus Sonny Perdue became a possible candidate for the position. Perdue served as governor of Georgia from 2003-2011, then served as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture under former President Donald Trump.
