Bored of Regents

Celebrate the first day of classes at Georgia Tech with the team at Residential Spread! 
In this episode, we explore Georgia's Board of Regents. We ask why a body with so little experience in education (and so many conflicts of interest) is making unilateral decisions about higher education in Georgia. Then, we consider past, present, and potential future efforts to challenge that authority.
