What is the Comprehensive Administrative Review (CAR)?
In April 2017, Chancellor Steve Wrigley of the University System of Georgia (USG) announced a Comprehensive Administrative Review (CAR) of the system office and all 26 USG institutions.
This system-wide initiative is focused on improving administration through creating efficiencies, streamlining processes and finding ways to be more effective with USG resources. The end goal of the CAR is to address the challenge of how to provide quality education in the most cost‑effective manner.
