Should the Georgia Institute of Technology be made into a state-related institution?? - DawgNBama - 12-16-2019 05:43 PM

This is not to start any flame wars with Georgia Tech fans, but rather this is something that I really want to have a very serious discussion about. To me, the Georgia Institute of Technology is a very elite institution, and truly does deserve to have MIT, Cal Tech, etc. as peer institutions. That is a huge compliment to GT, and definitely not a criticism. The University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology are not peers at all!! They just are located in the same state and they have very different missions!! I have viewed Auburn as UGa's peer for years because of the universities' similar missions. The University of Pittsburgh, Temple University, and even Penn State University are state-related and not state(public) schools. Pittsburgh and/or Temple fans feel free to correct me, but doesn't state-related mean that you are a combo of a public & private institution?? If that's the case, I think that's something that the administration at the Georgia Institute of Technology should look at, and make as a goal, IMO. GT would be free to do things the way they want, with little interference from the state of Georgia.

lock thread over here please. it appears no one wants to discuss over here. I'm taking this conversation to the ACC board.
