The Georgia Court of Appeals grilled the parties in a dispute between a University of Georgia student and the state Board of Regents on Tuesday, as the latter argued that the courts can’t override decisions made by the state public university governing body.
The underlying legal action concerned the aftermath of a bar fight between University of Georgia student and appellee Elijah Drake and three female students that unfolded in the men’s bathroom of a downtown Athens bar when Drake was a freshman.
