late and students couldn't marry. If

from University student handbooks of
the past.

occurred: and a fine of SI.OO for

Online syllabi may lead to harassment
By POLINA MARINOVA
The Red & Black
A group of English profes
sors are lobbying against online
syllabi, saying they are of little
value to students and— in
some cases can lead to pro
fessors being harassed.
At the University Curriculum
Committee meeting on April 2,
Roxanne Eberle, English asso
ciate professor and committee
member, spoke on behalf of the
English department faculty to
voice concerns about the
requirement to post syllabi
online.
“There is just some confu

their syllabi are being used, and
there’s more desire for clarity,”
Eberle said. “I suppose the con
cern is how our syllabus appears
in all of these multiple places,
without much of our own over
sight of where it appears and in
what forms it appears.”
Eberle also said some profes
sors have expressed concern of
being harassed as a result of
their syllabi being available
online.
Douglas Anderson, head of
the English department, said a
public syllabus site may invite
attacks on professors by some
people who see the University
as a "propaganda machine of
political and religious ideas.”

By RAISA HABERSHAM
The Red and Black
University System of
Oeorgia budget cuts and
increased student input
with the Board of Regents
are on the agenda for one
Oeorgia gubernatorial can
didate.
Republican candidate
Karen Handel discussed
these ideas at a lecture
Monday sponsored by the
Dawgs for Israel, College
Republicans and Law
School Republicans.
“When it comes to the
universities, I’ve not
enjoyed the way things
have played," she said. “We
need to be thinking and
prioritizing.”
Handel called the pro
posed cuts a “budget
Armageddon game,” in
which large cuts are sug
gested just for shock value.
She said the opinion piece
written by Katie Barlow,
president of the Student
Government Association,
in the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution in March con
sisted of feasible ideas.

“We have nAWDfcL
to realize
that educating our young
people is a priority,” Handel
said.
Handel also addressed
teacher furloughing, saying
it is not the best way to
deal with the budget crisis.
She said she wants to
look at teacher to adminis
trator ratios to make sure
universities are less bureau
cratic. She said she would
examine the income for
those making $200,000 or
more in order to offset pos
sible tuition increases.
“I'd rather see us take
cuts from this side, than
what we’re deciding on
with tuition,” she said.
One student posed a
question about having a
student representative on
the Board of Regents.
Handel said she believed
students should have more
of a voice in the Regents’
decision making process.
“There is no question
that we have to have a
committee with the Board
of Regents and the student
population,” she said.
