There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"Universities do not like to dwell on their value," writes Rich DeMillo (Computer Science), author of Abelard to Apple: The Fate of American Colleges and Universities. "There are many who try to cast any such discussion as the opening volley of a holy war between true academicians and infidels who would sacrifice noble pursuits for economic gain."
