This week, Rick Hart and Alex Ames, student activists with the Students Against Sonny group, explain why the Georgia Board of Regents' reported plan to make Sonny Perdue the next chancellor is so dangerous. Shortly after we recorded this episode, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the board has paused the chancellor search. Listen as we discuss the historical origins of the notion of a politically independent chancellor in Georgia and Rick and Alex explain what they want from the chancellor search.
