Did UGA prevent the legislature from granting you university status for a decade and publicly attempt to stop it when it happened insisting that there should only be one university? Try to stop you from offering doctorates? Does UGA have a policy never to play an in-state team in any sport? Did they attack your pioneering distance learning program calling it needless duplication and then later create their own? Did they threaten to not accept other institutions credits if they cooperated with you? Did they turn you over to the NCAA for the sole purpose of scaring off your biggest ever basketball recruit? Did they get state law changed to prevent you, or any other, from doing the things that they did to achieve success?

I'm sure there are host of other factors that go into the relationship stAte has with UAF, but I wonder if the relationship would be more positive if the public higher education system in Arkansas was more like it is in Georgia. That is, there is not a UGA "system" like there is a UA system in Arkansas (or a UT system in Texas). Instead, all the public higher eds are under the Board of Regents which is not affiliated with any certain school. Of course politics are politics and allegiances are allegiances and the non-UGA schools always feel they are getting the short stick compared to UGA, but it does seem like the independence of the Board of Regents mitigates it and that it could be much worse.

We have two systems. The UA System and the ASU system and then a bunch of nonaffiliated.
