Powerful state lawmaker calls for Georgia Tech president’s ouster

Story here. Excerpt:

'The war between state Rep. Earl Ehrhart and Georgia Tech over how the way the school handles accusations of sexual assault just got kicked up a notch or two.

The Powder Springs Republican, who chairs the House committee in charge of funding Georgia universities, said Tech president Bud Peterson should resign over his school’s sexual complaint process, which he said fails to give accused students due process. Ehrhart also said he tried to send Peterson a message by slashing the school’s request for a $47 million building.

“We grant that to criminals, why not to students?” he asked.'
