GRU officials agree to avoid Regent University colors | The Augusta Chronicle

No maroon Jaguars in Augusta.

That unlikely combination is forbidden in an agreement signed last week settling a lawsuit between the Georgia Board of Regents and Regent University in Virginia.

Two of the main stipulations in the agreement say GRU must refrain from using a color similar to the Virginia school’s maroon and must not establish a school of theology in Augusta, said Burns Newsome, the University System of Georgia’s vice chancellor for legal affairs.

That means divinty degrees also are off the table, Newsome said.

Luckliy, GRU officials said they won’t have to scrap current plans to comply with those terms.

“Our colors are blue and silver and we do not have any plans to create a theology school,” said GRU spokeswoman Christen Carter.
