On these pages, you will find UGA College of Education faculty commentary on education issues as cited in the national press.
While many online periodicals keep their stories freely available indefinitely, stories on other sites (e.g., the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times) expire after a specified period of time, after which they can be retrieved by locating the story through the Web site's archives, and sometimes paying a fee to do so. Where that is the periodical's policy, we have provided a link to the periodical's main page and the citation for the article so that interested readers may find the original article.
