Property disputes between Athens and the University of Georgia heighten as students get evicted from their homes off-campus homes.
Multiple students were evicted from their homes based on the ordinance that states that it is illegal for two or more people from different families living in the same house.
Interestingly the evicted students claim they did not have loud parties at their houses or disrupt the area. The issue came when locals from the town complained to the city and asked for the students to be evicted.
One of the students, Koon, stated: "I don't think the law is just," he said. "It's very discriminatory, towards college students especially."
This brings up another issue: is this truly discrimination against the school. What are the grounds for this ordinance? And why is there such a division between the citizens of Athens-Clarke County and the students of the university?
