SGA recently put online a horrible version of The Key:
The 2006-2007 Key is now online!
To access grade distribution information click on the resources for students icon. This year, courses have been categorized alphabetically by the first letter of the course.
SGA’s venerable webmaster (Wonder if this took him the 6 hours he claimed?) put online 8 [...]
Two weeks ago, Josh Weiss lashed out at the SGA for failing to update The Key, the grade record previously kept up-to-date by the University. Here’s the backstory:
However, for all intensive purposes, The Key is dead.
After Associate Provost for Institutional Effectiveness Bob Boehmer crippled the online database of grade distributions in spring 2006 by [...]
Paul Ruddle, student and editor of The Ruddle Report, has announced that he will stop updating the Ruddle Report (except in the case of breaking news).
It is truly sad to see Paul go, but he accomplished a lot while he posted at RR. Good luck with your new job, Paul.
In the mean time, check [...]
Last year the University of Georgia administration took down The Key, a grade reporting website. The Student Government Association was charged with putting The Key online, and they have failed.
As such, the editor of the Ruddle Report, Paul Ruddle, has made available an Excel file with the 1999 through 2006 Key data.

The newest version of the SGA Report was just sent out to all UGA students and is available here.
I find it funny that the report was sent to students today, yet it lists events and deadlines from last week and earlier:

To compare, of the 17 other members on the Committee (all professors), only one was absent without a [...]
So I’m not the only one that thinks OASIS should be open 24/7.
Sophomore Chris Chiego wrote an excellent editorial for today’s Red and Black.
He offers three main suggestions for the new SGA administration:
Save the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA)
Protect free expression on campus.
Make sure that UGA fully funds need-based financial aid.
In regards to Chiego’s second point, he talks about UGA’s “yellow light” rating by the [...]
I am pleased to report that someone in SGA decided to enforce their own Constitution. This message was just emailed out to several parties, regarding the ratification of the new SGA Constitution:
After further review and a hearing on the complaint filed by Paul Ruddle, the Elections Committee of the Student Government Association in a [...]
The Red and Black finally picked up on this story (here).
The question here is that the SGA Constitution requires 10% of the students to vote in a “special election” for the SGA Constitution, before the Constitution can be approved.
So, how many students voted in the election? Well, it depends what the definition of “special [...]
