Join Melissa Carter in today's Athens News podcast episode for a blend of community news, controversy, and tribute. We begin with the aftermath of the Israel-Gaza protest at UGA, discussing the arrest and release of 16 individuals, including ten students, and the ensuing debate over First Amendment rights versus campus safety.
The episode further explores the university's controversial suspension of student protesters, featuring perspectives from protest organizer Zeena Mohamed and Associate Professor Janet Frick.
Shifting tones, we report on the tragic DUI hit-and-run that claimed the life of Michael Kitchen, alongside an ongoing investigation seeking justice.
We honor lost members of the UGA family in an annual candlelight memorial, and lighten the mood with a Star Wars Day treat, "May the Fourth be with your taste buds."
Celebrating athletic achievements, we highlight victories at the Athens Twilight Criterium.
