8th Sep 2005, 17:45 GMT
The state Board of Regents tapped a retired U.S. Army general Wednesday to head a new state college in Gwinnett County. Retired Brig. Gen. Daniel Kaufman, 58, former dean of the academic board and chief academic officer for the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., will start work Sept. 19 as head of the as-yet-unnamed school at Lawrenceville. The college will be Georgia's 35th public institution and the first new one established in decades. "It's obviously an honor to be selected," Kaufman said during a telephone interview from his father's home in Brunswick.
