Other than that I haven't felt the urge to give money to a system that has doubled tuition in 8 years but has not changed the student workers pay at all.

I'd give more, but I can't stand the current university president Michael Adams. I completely disagree with the way he spends money. The University doens't need another sidewalk or sign! He's increasing enrollment, yet he won't take the obvious necessary steps and hire more professors to teach more sections of the core classes or increase professor salaries to make the university competitive to attract good professors (oh wait--he won't hire more anyway...) And don't get me started on how he's treated Vince Dooley...
