TUITION:
Regents
working
on rates
>- From Page 1
Some majors require
students to take more than
four years of classes, but the
regents will allow such
students to continue using
the fixed rate until they grad
uate.
What if a student can’t get
the classes he or she needs to
graduate? Will the tuition
freeze still hold?
The University System of
Colorado, which also uses
the fixed tuition and fee rate,
answered this question by
providing courses free of
charge for students who can
not complete their degree
programs.
Other state university
systems using the fixed
tuition plan include Indiana,
Oklahoma and Missouri.
The regents have not
announced their plans for
students unable to graduate
due to class size. They have
said, however, that students
who decide to take a sabbati
cal for the semester will be
subject to increased tuition
after their four-year contract
rate runs out. While the exact
amount of the new rate is
unknown, it will be equivalent
to the guaranteed rate
charged to that year’s enter
ing freshmen.
Also, the regents have not
specified what tuition rate
rising sophomores and
juniors will have to pay in the
coming years.
Many of these factors
should be determined in the
regents’ August meeting,
Jackson said.
Incoming first-year
students will pay $3,892 for
the year, which is low
compared to other SEC
schools. For example, Auburn
University’s annual tuition is
$5,230, the University of
Alabama’s is $5,664 and the
University of South
Carolina’s is $6,914.
CORRECTION
Due to an editing error,
the article ‘Tate II firm
seeks input’ incorrectly
stated that the architects
and designers for Tate II
will have their second
visit in early August.
Their second visit will be
in mid-July.

A Patricia Short, a 2005 applied mathematics grad
uate from Athens, brings her dog Linus to the
Intramural trails at least three or four times a week.
Whether it’s hiking, biking, jogging or rafting, there
are many places to enjoy the outdoors in and around
Athens. Students could take a trip down the Broad
River, smell the flowers at the Botanical Gardens, or
just stroll down the shady trails at the University’s
Intramural Fields.

RESEARCH: ‘Potential to draw

paramount. Just to enter
the hall of the BSL-2 labs,
investigators must go
through a finger scanner or
keypad.
Safety measures reach
their pinnacle in the BSL-3
containment areas. Leaving
the “clean corridor,” investi
gators must walk through a
shower as well as a viewing
room prior to entering
the area itself. All the while,
a camera mounted unobtru
sively in a corner monitors
investigators’ actions.
Inside the containment
area, special attention is paid
to air circulation since agents
are airborne. Air is allowed to
enter only from the clean cor
ridor into the dirty contain
ment area, not vice versa.
Furthermore, air is cleaned by
double filters.
“Everything moves from
clean toward dirty, including
air, water, personnel and
animals,” said Michael
Mispagel, AHRC’s quality
assurance manager.
There also are many
“redundancies” built into
AHRC’s systems ensuring
safety, though any single
element may malfunction,
Mispagel added.
In addition to the facility
itself, the investigators must
be carefully trained in “how
(they) enter, how (they) leave
and how (they) check to
make sure that things work
properly,” Dickerson said.
“Initially, only the six investi
gators will have access to the
BSL-3 containment centers,”
he said.
With such high-tech
amenities, the research in
the new building could lead
not only to treatments for
public diseases such as
influenza, but also to
increased funding for the
University.
The new facility “has
the potential to draw millions
of research dollars, as well as
partnerships with the CDC
and USDA,” Allen said.
