Participation sought for NRC study
This year UGA is participating in the National Research Council Study of Research Doctorate Programs, which examines then summarizes and ranks 200 institutions across the nation.

The study will cover 52 doctoral programs at UGA and rely on faculty members and doctoral candidates to complete voluntary questionnaires about program characteristics. The results will be published on the NRC Web site once the study is completed.

Anyone contacted by NRC about the study is encouraged to participate so that a complete accounting of the program will be done. Participation is not required and will not affect anyone’s standing within the university.

More information is available online (grad.uga.edu/nrc/).

Weapons policy updated
The university’s policy on weapons has been revised to reflect changes in the state law. New to the policy is a ban on nontraditional firearms, including BB guns, paint ball guns and potato cannons. It also prohibits bacteriological weapons like poison gas, explosives and hoax devices intended to resemble harmful devices like package bombs or toxic chemicals.

The policy applies to employees, students and visitors in residence halls, on university property and at UGA-sponsored events. Violation can result in termination, dismissal and criminal prosecution.

More information about the policy is available online, (police.uga.edu/weapons.html).
