Georgia Educator Wells Faces Pension and Title Revocation
Georgia educator Guy H. Wells, long a proponent of integration in the 1950s, confronts actions by the Georgia Board of Regents to revoke his honorary president emeritus title at Georgia State College for Women and by the State Board of Education to review his $518.90 monthly pension. Wells, former head of Georgia Teachers College and longtime leader in interracial cooperation, defends his stance and seeks a hearing as the Teacher Retirement Board weighs possible pension separation.
