Closer Look with Rose Scott

Chancellor Perdue talks budget cuts to Georgia colleges and universities; Local law firm exposes BIPOC high school students to legal careers

May 23, 2023

University System of Georgia Chancellor Sonny Perdue talks with Rose about a $66 million cut in funding and how the cut will hurt Georgia colleges and universities. Perdue also responds to a recent letter that he received from Lt. Gov. Burt Jones questioning DEI funding at Georgia institutions.

Dan Huynh, the chief diversity partner at Morris, Manning and Martin, talks with Rose about how the local law firm is continuing its efforts to increase the number of people of color who go into the field of law, by exposing students at the high school level—amid efforts to stop DEI initiatives in schools and businesses.
