Onlookers were silent and cameras flashed
when University President Michael Adams
and Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus
signed the document ending an era for the United
States Navy Supply Corps School.
With Tuesday's signing, the Navy School
grounds on Prince Avenue were given to the
College of Public Health and the Medical College
of Oeorgia, which is becoming a part of the
University. The Navy School will leave Athens for
Newport, R. 1., by the start of its next semester.
In addition to Adams and Mabus, speakers
included Gov. Sonny Perdue, Athens’ Mayor Heidi
Davison and Ricardo Azziz, president of the
Medical College.
The overall mood of the speakers was bitter
sweet.
Perdue called the signing a “historic moment.”
He expressed sadness over the Navy School leav
ing, but looked forward to the medical college
coming.
"We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful
service for this wonderful campus," Perdue said.
Davison said the Navy School has been an

DEAN OF STUDENTS
Forums

student
worries

When the University named Bill
McDonald as the new Dean of
Students, one student realized
she had already met him.
Ashton May, senior and execu
tive director of Lambda Alliance,
said she met McJDonald prior to
her freshman year of college. She
attended an information session
at Presbyterian College where
McDonald serves as vice president
for student life and dean of stu
dents.
“I remember he spoke to us
during the day, and he was actu
ally one of the reasons I didn’t
want to go to that school because
I don’t know if my views necessar
ily matched up with his,” May
said.
McDonald comes from a private
college affiliated with the
Presbyterian Church, and some
students expressed concern about
how he would work with LGBT
and minority popu
lations. According
to documents
obtained by The
Red & Black, after
a forum, one stu
dent commented,
“He was particular
ly thrown-off by a
question regarding
his relationships
with LGBT stu
dents, admitting to
the fact that he
does not consis
tently deal with
many LGBTQ stu-
dents at his private, Christian [sic]
college. Asa gay student, this led
me to question how he would inter
act with not only those students at
UGA who identify as LGBTQ, but
also other minority students on
the UGA campus, as well.”
When asked about his experi
ence in working with LGBT and
other minority students,
McDonald later said it was “exten
sive.”
“Asa student affairs practitio
ner, I am involved in planning,
participating and supporting a
wide variety of student programs
and activities, including LGBT
and other underrepresented stu
dent groups,” McDonald said. “As
a campus administrator, I befriend
and mentor students from across
the student populace I serve. And
Anally, as a life-long learner, I con
tinue to seek new training to
improve my understanding and
ability to advocate for all students
and the institution I serve.”
Jennifer Miracle, director of the
LGBT resource center, attended
McDonald’s staff forum last
spring, and she said he was the
only candidate of the five to men
tion the LGBT community before
ever specifically being asked a
question pertaining to LGBT stu
dents.
“I was impressed by the level of
awareness he seemed to have of
the LGBT community and con
cerns that might be unique or
specific to our community,”
Miracle said. “Additionally, the
comments that he made gave me
the impression that he had some
understanding of and compassion
for the issues LGBT students may
face on a college campus.”
However, his religious affilia
tion is not the only concern.

qualifications include experience
in judicial affairs, crisis manage
ment, Greek life, student leader
ship, student activities and
