Correction to the title of this article

This article is currently titled "Georgia Board of Regents." The correct name of the organization is the "Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia" as defined in the constitution of the state of Georgia and as used consistently on the organization's website. I recommend correcting the title and including a redirect from the old/current title. Please let me know if you don't think I should make this change for some reason.

Tuition

Where to place blame for rising tuition doesn't belong in the article. This is going to be non-objective POV. I'll leave this comment before editing. Rlquall 03:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Split/Expand Student Advisory Council

The Student Advisory Council section outlines a board that should be on a separate article. There are articles on this subject for other states such as Massachusetts State Student Advisory Council. (Sirkevinalot (talk) 20:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC))

Controversies NPOV and Plagiarism

I added the NPOV Section tag to the Controversies section because it seems to be just a bunch of uncited critiques. Could someone fill in some references to all these? The paragraph on HBCUs was just copied and pasted from another website (the site is currently blocked as spam by wikipedia - just search the internet for the text below) so I removed the plagiarized section and pasted it below. It's one thing to cite a sentence or two and quite another to just copy a whole paragraph and not even cite. Nhoj (talk) 00:38, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

"To prevent the demise of Georgia’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (State HBCUs), the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia must be forced by court mandate to elevate the State HBCUs to status equal to other universities by ceasing its discriminatory mismanagement practices of inequitable funding, disregarding the State HBCUs’ capital improvement needs, limiting and impeding the State HBCUs’ missions, needlessly duplicating programs to the detriment of the State HBCUs, failing to duplicate programs when needed by State HBCUs, and failing to establish professional, specialized and doctoral degree programs within the State HBCUs….”

I went ahead and merged the controversies section into the history section, as that's where those typically belong when it's not blatantly POV. Disavian (talk) 00:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
I have removed the biased material from the article. I'm surprised I didn't notice before. I will do a little research and spruce up this article
