How did talmadge cause georgia to suffer great embarrassment? he caused georgia’s white colleges to lose their accreditation. he refused to pardon kkk members who committed crimes. he used political pressure to carry out his campaign promises. he ran for re-election to his fourth term and lost his campaign.

The answer is Talmadge caused Georgia's white colleges to lose their accreditation. In 1941, Governor Eugene Talmadge launched the most damaging attack on higher education in Georgia. In a meeting of the Board of Regents, Talmadge declared that Walter Cocking, Dean of the College of Education of the University of Georgia wanted to integrate a demonstration school in Athens. He stated that he would remove any person who supported "communism or racial equality". He did not want the University to rehire Cocking. To make sure that he got what he wanted, Talmadge removed 3 of the members of the Board of Regents and replaced them with his supporters. This ensured the non-rehiring of Cocking. Within a year, ten more teachers were dismissed, the Board of Regents lost their power and the public lost their confidence in the state's colleges. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools found "gross political interference" by Talmadge and took away the accreditation from all of Georgia's state-supported colleges for whites.
