SECURITY: Over time, system refined with techhpjpgy
► From Pig* 3
In one particular
instance several years ago,
a statue of Steadman
Sanford’s bust which
sits on the path of stair
one in between gates one
and two was stolen.
Later, a man called the
Athletic Association say
ing he had acquired
Sanford’s bust, winning it
in a poker game from a
rival fan. After the bust
was returned to the stadi
um, “we put enough con
crete in it so that nobody
could take it off again,”
Whittemore said.
With more than 92,000
people congregating in
Sanford Stadium more
than attend most profes
sional football games
the issue of security is con
stantly on the minds of
University Athletic
Association officials.
And those fans usually
fill the stadium to its
capacity.
Georgia’s average home
attendance has been
ranked top 10 in the nation
for 23 consecutive seasons,
according to the
University’s sports web
site. It has ranked in the
top seven for 21 of the past
24 years.
Keeping all of those fans
at bay raises security con
cerns on game days, and
the long list of prohibited
items at the stadium is evi
dence of this fact.
Unwelcome items
include bottles, horns,
cans, ice bags, ice chests,
backpacks, umbrellas,
large bags and video cam
eras.
Although many would
argue that the increased
focus on security has been
a recent and post-Sept. 11
concern, it is certainly not

At the time, a visit from

somebody could put a

“Even in 1977, those

Regents lay off
Athens workers
By DALLAS DUNCAN
The Red & Black
Fifteen Board of Regents employees are now out
of jobs as part of a restructuring of the Regents’
Information Technology Systems department.
“The decisions were not based on performance,
but on the needs of the department to go forward,”
said John Millsaps, spokesman for the Regents.
“Some long-standing positions in the department
had a key function in the past, but as ITS evolves, so
did the need for new skills and functions.”
The employees l3 from the Athens location
and two from the office in Atlanta will be kept on
payroll until the end of the calendar year, Millsaps
said.
In an e-mail obtained by The Red & Black, Curtis
Carver, the vice chancellor and chief information
officer for the Regents, informed employees of the
layoffs and referred to them as part of a “reduction
in force.”
“Affected employees have been placed on paid
administrative leave until December 31st as we
work with them to help them find Jobs,” Carver
wrote in the e-mail. “Due to the nature of a RIF, we
will not be hiring new employees into the vacated
positions. However, some of the affected employees
may be qualified for new positions that are opening
in ITS.”
Carver wrote the new positions were already
offered to employees affected by the RIF, and added
the Regents would continue to give these employees
first priority for future jobs that may arise until Jan.
31, 2011.
He wrote the e-mail served as notification that
the RIF is complete unless there are drastic changes
in the budget.
The e-mail said additional efforts to reorganize
the department in addition to the RIF included
working on salary inequity, performance issues, job
description changes and restructuring the leader
ship of administrative units.
Carver wrote he planned to host a “town hall
meeting” with employees on Sept. 30 to answer any
questions and address concerns regarding the lay
offs
“I felt it was important to complete the RIF
action separately so that ITS can focus on its mis
sion without the pallor of a pending reduction in
force,” Carver wrote. “These are good people who
have performed well and made lasting contributions
to ITS.”

is an internal surveillance
camera system based on a
grant the University Police
Department received from

Along with the surveil
lance camera system, daily
patrols, alarm systems and
motion detectors, the
Sanford Stadium security
systems and procedures

“Those things are there
