People who are food insecure typically don’t have enough money to eat an adequate amount of food every day.

Nearly half of Georgia’s senior citizen population is forced to choose between food and health care expenses.

That’s according to a pair of studies from the University of Georgia.

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia unanimously approved hiring Jere Morehead as the 22nd president of the University of Georgia today. Morehead has spent most of his career at the university and has served as senior vice president for academic affairs and provost at UGA since 2010.

Delta Air Lines has added an extra flight each way between Atlanta and Columbia, Missouri—but only for next weekend.

That’s when the University of Georgia opens SEC play against Mizzou, a school new to the conference.

Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter says Delta often adds flights to accommodate big sporting events. 

“They’re a lot of fun, actually, to be on," says Banstetter.  "The planes tend to be mostly filled with people who are flying for that specific event.  You’ll see a lot of your fellow fans if you’re on these flights."

University of Georgia president Michael Adams will leave his post next year.

Adams made the official announcement today in Athens.

When he leaves at the end of June, 2013, Michael Adams will have served 16 years as UGA’s 21st president.

 “I believe that there comes a time when it’s appropriate to step aside, to let others continue the work.”

According to UGA, significant strides have been made under Adams.

Student enrollment increased from 29,000 to nearly 35,000.

UGA’s endowment has nearly tripled from the time Adams took office to 2011.
