President Michael Adams

Just hate the fact that the a-hole has his signature on my niece's sheepskin...

(no message)

He has done some less than savory shite while in Athens. Which is all forgivable if he would just acknowledge that he hasn't always made the right choice. But, instead, he has kept his nose as high in the air as his tip-toes would let him.

He knowingly hired Harrick as men's basketball coach despite a long history of rule-breaking. He then pointed fingers and claimed it wasn't his fault when it undoubtedly was given the evidence that was present.

He has also been found to have have siphoned money away from the University and use University funds for parties and personal transportation to New Orleans, etc. The fact that he does that isn't exactly right, but tolerable. The fact that he has done so and then practiced this healthy bottom line bullshite with the AD is what is outrageous.

The whole thing with Dooley was just the cherry on top of his pompous personality.

He also acts like Georgia's academic improvements are result of anything they've done. That was all HOPE. UGA has done more to slow progress if anything. He lucked into the whole situation. His mismanagement of our athletics is enough for me to dislike him but his use of Georgia money as his own fricking wallet is why he should be beating like the rat-frick he is.

Eat shite and die Adams

HOPE.

Just about every public university in Ga has taken off since the 90's...look at GT, Southern,KSU,GSU,West Ga,Georgia College etc.

All because of the HOPE scholarship and the growth of the state and MA was given the keys to the biggest and best job in the state. His only job was to not screw up.Anybody in his place would've done just as good a job fundraising.

I said why in my original post. His outlook on athletics, his arrogant demeanor, and him running bills up on the UGA card so he and his fellow old farts can enjoy the good life. Adams personifies the GOBN/cronyism problem Georgia suffers in my view. He's done nothing but preside over Heorgia during a fortuitous time and if anything a more competent leader could've possibly taken better advantage. We are still not AAU and Terry's campus is garbage compared to comparable school. We just now started fixing that. After transferring in and going on visits elsewhere I've gotten the feeling that UGA is trying to catch up to what HOPE has done, not supplement it.

Sure, Adams could've been a lot worse. But I won't miss the old frick.

ETA: but then again, who's surprised I'm surly?

I thought they had for Terry and the plans look good. But at the moment what Terry offers us is garbage. I think my biggest issue was being spoiled early on but Smeal isn't supposed to be much better than Terry. You'd never know that based off their campus, though.

And exactly. UGA acts like its advancing itself and gets ruffled when we become the #1 party school because our "focus" is on academics but yet we still aren't AAU. That'd be pretty high on my list, I'd think. Instead of investing further into our poultry science and horticulture programs we should be pouring cash into what you said, med school and our new engineering program. If they want to improve Georgia's image then great, why don't y'all do it then

ETA: and I fully realize I'm 23 and know not the first thing about running a university. I'm just citing examples of a few reasons why I feel UGA hasn't improved on its own but through HOPE yet Adams and co get credit. I see our academics similar to our athletics, a sleeping giant. If our schools infrastructure could catch up to its size and degree offerings and we allocate cash more effectively who knows?

All I know is I STILL have trouble adding classes for one of my majors because UGA's systems STILL have issue understanding double majors. And oh lord, don't even lemme start about the transfer process to Georgia. I know it's usually rough everywhere but UGA should take pride in it
