Girtz said he was “frus
trated with the background
checks,” but there needed
to be some type of gate
keeping function.
“It’s not illogical to
expect employees to be
21,” he said.
After citizen input and
commissioner discussion,
the commission had two
motions on the floor: one
to adopt the Legislative
Review Committee’s rec
ommendation and one to
adopt Girtz’s substitute
proposal.
On the first vote, the
commission voted 5-4 in
favor of Girtz’s proposal,
but six votes are needed
for adoption. The commis
sion then voted down the
recommenda
tion 3-6.
Commissioner Kathy
Hoard, who brought the
motion to adopt the com
mittee’s proposal to the
floor, said the commission
“should have done what
the police asked us to do,”
referring to ACC Police

UGAALERT: Univ. to guard campus

The EPCC is comprised
of faculty, staff, students,
administration and one
parent. The committee
began conducting their
research in May and met
with Athens-Clarke County
residents, the University of
Florida police chief and a
representative from
Georgia Tech’s emergency
preparedness office.
They also developed a
survey for peer institutions
such as Louisiana State
and Pennsylvania State
universities and spoke
with large venues such
as the Georgia Dome
about their emergency pol
icies.
“We adopted an all haz
ards approach,” Pharr
said.
“We weren’t just going
to knee-jerk from the April
16 Virginia Tech situation.
“We took a broad-based
approach knowing that
your best response in some
instances might not be
your best response for
another,” she said.
While some of the rec
ommendations from the
EPCC report may take
more than a year to initi
ate, UGAAlert already
exists.

Hoard agreed to change

proposal was left on the
floor.
On the next vote, Girtz’s
proposal passed 6-3.
Commissioner Alice
Kinman said at the meet
ing she supported the sub
stitute proposal because
she had “serious reserva
tions about background

Some bar owners and
employees said they were
disappointed by the sud

Paul DeGeorge, owner
of The Loft, said he was
“devastated” by the inclu

six weeks ago.”

have registered for
UGAAlert —a program
that has been initiated
campus-wide.
UGAAlert issues voice
mails, text messages and
e-mails in the event of an
emergency such as a tor
nado warning or evacua
tion.
“We will use UGAAlert
only for emergency situa
tions, and I think most
people will take note of
this. Messages are going to
come to you faster than
any existing means (such
as Arch News),” Pharr
said.
The NTI Group/
Connect-ED is the
University’s vendor for
UGAAlert, according to
Steve Harris, the emergen
cy operations manager.
Connect-ED is a system
marketed exclusively to
colleges and universities
and has the capability to
send “time-sensitive notifi
cations to thousands of
people in minutes,” accord
ing to the NTI Group’s Web
site.
Harris said the NTI
Group claims the high vol
ume of e-mails, messages
and calls will not over

problems with cell phones.

said they would file law
suits against the county if
the ordinance passed.
Many underage bar
employees attended the
meeting and told the com
mission they were con
cerned about supporting
themselves financially if
unable to work in bars.
Alyssa Hayes urged the
commission to “keep in
mind the students.”
Several commissioners
said they were concerned
about the ramifications for
student workers and the
labor pool reduction but
ultimately adopted the
proposal after agreeing to
change the implementa
tion date for the new age
requirement to July 1, 2008.

take the calls and messag
es to almost the max and
then throttle back so it
doesn’t overload the sys
tem.”
Georgia Tech and the
Savannah College of Art
and Design also use
the vendor for their own
emergency notification sys
tems.
Students, faculty and
staff can register up to
three phone numbers and
two e-mail addresses for
the system at www.
ugaalert.uga.edu with a
valid MylD login and pass
word. Those who register
have the option to choose
among automated voice
messages, text messages or
both.
UGAAlert will have two
testing dates per school
year —one in the fall and
one in late February during
the statewide tornado drill.
“We hope to never have
to actually utilize
(UGAAlert), but it’s good
that it’s there,” Harris said.
The EPCC report will be
reviewed by the adminis
tration before any further
action can be taken.
“It’s in their court, and
we’ll see what they do,”
Pharr said. “We urge them
to take as many (sugges
tions) as they can.”

courses. It also requested
the identification of each
and every member of the
BOR with knowledge of
the NAPLEX review
course.
The motion also
requested documents be
produced regarding review
courses taught by Warren.
The court papers call
for the names of everyone
employed by the College
of Pharmacy and every
member of the BOR since
1995.
The NABP requested
information about any
extra or course credit
awarded by Warren to stu

of “actual or purported”
NAPLEX questions,
according to the motion
filed a month after the
case was brought forward.
NABP requested,
“whether Warren was com

the BOR, the College of
Pharmacy, the University
or a third party, according
to court documents.

In court documents,
the NABP refers to a
“Settlement” reached with
Warren and the University
in 1995.
The “Settlement” states
both Warren and the
University would “cease
and desist for profit or
otherwise from all past,
present, and future copy
ing, transcribing or other
infringing use of NABP
copyrighted materials,
including but not limited
to patient profiles, sample
questions or other copy
righted information.”
In 2005, Warren submit
ted a request for instruc
tion overload after teach
ing a board review for the
Postgraduate Continuing
Education & Outreach.
The University compen
sated Warren $1,600 for
the review, according to
the request Warren filed.
The Red & Black filed an
open records request last
Thursday for financial
records of Warren’s review
course. University officials
said it would take five days
to produce the docu
ments.
Warren called The Red

said he could not com
