Judge sides with UGA, Board of Regents

The Georgia Board of Regents and top University of Georgia administrators have a judge's favor in a lawsuit about professors who allegedly helped students cheat. The judge ruled that the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy can sue two UGA professors, but not the University System of Georgia Board of Regents or top UGA administrators. The lawsuit claims that former professor Flynn Warren Jr. and associate professor Henry Cobb III collected and disseminated questions and answers from the national pharmacist licensing exam. The exam was suspended from August to October 2007 while it was rewritten.

National pharmacy test back on after UGA prof suit

A national licensing exam for pharmacists can be used again, after it was suspended more than a month ago. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy has re-instated the test, after its use was stopped in late August. The Association accused a University of Georgia professor of giving test questions to his students. Starting today, the national one-time exam given to pharmacists leaving graduate school is back in effect. However, the national association says re-instatement of a Georgia pharmacy exam won’t happen until late November or early December. The association filed a lawsuit against UGA professor Flynn Warren Jr. The suit alleges Warren asked students to memorize test questions and share with him so he could create a review packet for students.
