RIP Frank Roper, Jr GIT Registrar Emeritus (Link)

[DeepSnap]

Frank was a good guy... one of the few on The Hill who tried to help the GTAA if he could.

If you're wondering why should anyone care, if you graduated anywhere from about 1968-2000, look at the bottom of your diploma.

Frank Roper is a GT legend.

So sorry to hear of his passing.

The last seven days have been an absolute nightmare.

RIP! Had his name on my tuition bills and my diploma.

I never met the man, but recognized the name immediately. I believe he also appeared on the quarterly (yes, there were quarters) "report cards."

RIP!

Didn't his mishandling of some NCAA requirements cost GT some penalties. Think it was to do with required courses or somesuch.

Required courses? Oh, that was before the UNC debacle.
