Dear Colleague:
The vision statement adopted by the Board of Regents and reprinted in these pages continues to guide the development of the University System of Georgia. This common vision combined with the commitment of our faculty, staff, and students to excellence help explain our many successes. The thirty-four colleges and universities in our System address the needs of the State of Georgia in bold and creative ways, positioning us among the leaders of public higher education in the nation.
This twelfth edition of the Information Digest provides a wide range of comparative and historical data to answer the most frequently asked questions about the University System. It is one of our means of being accountable to the citizens of Georgia for their investment in higher education. It includes both data that make us proud and data that tell us where we must do better.
As we continue to strengthen higher education in the State of Georgia, we depend on data to inform our decisions and to serve as a benchmark by which we monitor our progress. We welcome any suggestions you may have for future editions of the Information Digest.
Sin~

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Vision Statement
ACCESS TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM
As Georgia emerges as a leader in a global society, the University System of Georgia will lead in access to academic excellence. Among the nation's public universities and colleges, Georgia's will be recognized for first-rate undergraduate education, leading-edge research, and committed public service. Georgians will appreciate the System's prestige and leadership in public higher education, including its graduate and professional programs, as fundamental to the state's economic, social, technological, and cultural advancement. The University System of Georgia and its component colleges and universities will sustain close contact with the people of Georgia, be responsive to the needs of Georgians first and foremost while raising their aspirations, and generate a more highly educated populace throughout the state. It will seek to create for students from various backgrounds every possible avenue to intellectual achievement without compromising academic excellence, and challenge them to their full potential for leadership. Its students, who are its heart and soul, will therefore be its strongest supporters.
To these ends, the University System of Georgia will be characterized by:
A whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, in which each campus has a clearly focused and valued mission, and all contribute their strong, bright threads to a network of programs that covers Georgians' diverse needs for higher education.
Students who master their majors and the basic skills of critical reasoning, independent thinking, computation, co=unication, collaboration, and creativity needed to enter the workplace with confidence, to move beyond entry-level jobs, to pursue lifelong learning, and to exercise leadership as contributing citizens who advance their families, co=unities, state, nation, and world into the new millennium.
A world-class, diverse faculty and staff who have superior co=unication and teaching skills; who use new technologies, roles, and curricular innovations creatively to enhance student learning; and who exhibit the highest standards of intellectual achievement and continuing growth, social responsibility, and concern for students.
Active partnerships with business and industry, cultural and social organizations, and government in order to analyze, project, and respond to changing state and regional needs, to support Georgia's economic and cultural development and to insure that its graduates are prepared for the future.
Campus learning co=unities that engage students with the ideas that mark educated persons, global and multicultural perspectives, and advanced technology to develop both ethical principles and intellectual flexibility for the world of tomorrow; and that celebrate and energize the student spirit, while respecting and supporting the different ways students develop their minds, their persons, and their citizenship.
Leadership in establishing higher state standards for post-secondary education and--with the public schools and technical institutes--in improving and valuing education at all levels, helping students move smoothly within the System and from one educational sector to another, and insuring that all students who enter the University System are prepared to succeed.
A constitutional Board of Regents that establishes clear policies and review procedures to promote the continuing improvement of every unit and of the System as a coordinated whole, that encourages initiative and innovation throughout the System, that requires full accountability from all, and that insures responsible stewardship.
The University System of Georgia will hold itself accountable to the citizens of Georgia for the effective and efficient use of every available material resource, new technology, and human insight and activity to achieve access to academic excellence for all citizens, and to charge its collective intellectual power on behalf of the state.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Brief History
The beginnings of public higher education in the State can be traced to 1784 when the General Assembly set aside 40,000 acres of land for the endowment of "a college or seminary of learning." During the following year, a charter was granted for the establishment of Franklin College, now the University of Georgia. The state later provided appropriations for establishing the following branches: School of Technology in Atlanta, 1885 (now Georgia Tech); Georgia Normal and Industrial College for Girls, Milledgeville, 1889 (now Georgia College & State Univ.); Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths, Savannah, 1890 (now Savannah State University); and the South Georgia Normal School, Valdosta, 1906 (now Valdosta State University). Later, the legislature established an agricultural and mechanical arts (A&M) school in each congressional district.
In 1929, Governor L. G. Hardman established a committee charged with recommending reorganization of higher education. The most significant idea was the creation of a central governing board. On August 28, 1931, the Reorganization Act was signed which created the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Act called for the governor to appoint eleven members, one from each congressional district, and one at large.
In its January 1932 meeting, the Board adopted the following Statement of Plan:
It is the conviction of the Board of Regents that the people of Georgia intended to ordain by the Act creating the Board that the twenty-six institutions comprising the University System should no longer function as separate, independent, and unrelated entities competing with each other for patronage and financial support.
The manifest purpose of the Act creating the Board of Regents is to unify and coordinate the work of these institutions so that the educational program of each shall be integrated with that of every other institution and with the system as a whole. The result aimed at is a correlated, harmonious, and symmetrical structure free from wasteful duplications, but providing the maximum of educational opportunity to the students of the State. In short, the emphasis has been shifted from the interests of particular institutions to the interests of the State.
While the traditions, the welfare and the prestige of the several branches of the system will be an object of care on the part of the Board, all of their problems are to be finally resolved by the answer to the question: What will best serve the educational interests of the State as a whole?
With this as the paramount consideration, the constant aim of this body will be to establish and maintain a system of higher education that will command the sympathy and support of our educational leaders, and at the same time successfully meet our needs by offering the young men and women of Georgia the maximum of education.
To accomplish this result, the Regents will, after careful study, take such steps that to them seem best to coordinate and unify these institutions so that they will be related in purpose and regulated in scope. The only competition in which these schools will hereafter engage will be for preeminence in service and scholarship.
The Reorganization Act of 1931 transferred to the new Board the responsibility for 26 institutions. The Board began immediate reorganization by abolishing the A&M schools and two additional schools and creating two other institutions. The net result was that the System was reduced to 18 institutions. The earliest recorded enrollment was 8,035 in Fall1933. The System was appropriated $1,900,500 by the State for 1932-33 but received only $1,624,928. In 1941, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools withdrew the accreditation of 10 University System institutions because of irregularities and incidences of outside interference into academic activities at the institutions. In 1943, newly-elected Governor Ellis Arnall sponsored a constitutional amendment to remove such interference by making the Board a constitutional body. The amendment was overwhelmingly approved by the voters.
The principles enumerated in the 1932 policy statement have guided the development of a unified system. Today the Board continues to have constitutional authority to govern, control, and manage the University System, as reaffirmed in the approval of the new state constitution in 1982. These powers include the authority for program approval or discontinuance, internal allocation of the budget, facilities construction, and decisions concerning adding new institutions, upgrading or downgrading the level of an institution, or closure or merger of institutions.
The University System is currently composed of 34 institutions (four universities, two regional universities, 13 state universities, and 15 associate degree colleges). In addition, three of the associate colleges and one state university maintain a postsecondary vocational-technical unit in cooperation with the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.

ADVISORY COUNCIL
1997
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM ADVISORY COUNCIL
The University System Advisory Council has the power to make recommendations to the Chancellor and through him to the Board of Regents regarding educational and administrative matters of concern to the University System. Membership is composed of the Chancellor, the Deputy Chancellor, and the Presidents of the 34 institutions. The Council holds at least one regular meeting each quarter with special meetings held upon the call of the Chancellor. The Advisory Council has both academic and administrative committees which formulate recommendations to be presented to the Advisory Council for consideration. Those matters originating with academic committees are first considered by the Administrative Committee on Academic Affairs prior to consideration by the Advisory Council.
Membership on academic committees is limited to one representative per institution offering work in the field with which the committee is concerned. Administrative committees are of two types: those in which representation consists of one representative from each institution and those with selective representation which are appointed by the Chancellor (Institutional Effectiveness, Research, Testing, Transfer of Credit, and Graduate Work).

Membership is composed of one elected officer from each of the institutions. The S.A.C. meets at least once annually and works closely with an advisor from the Chancellor's staff as well as the Chancellor. The Council also meets annually with the Board to present a report of its activities and recommendations.

COLLEGE PREPARATORY CURRICULUM Policy
In 1984, the University System of Georgia adopted the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) policy to be implemented in Fall 1988. In passing the CPC policy, the Board of Regents emphasized that success in college was dependent on strong academic preparation in high school. Board of Regents' policy requires the completion of the college preparatory curriculum for regular admission to any institution of the University System of Georgia. The CPC course requirements have been approved by the Board of Regents and endorsed by the State Board of Education.
REGULAR ADMISSION The following courses are required of students graduating from high school in the spring of 1988 or later who plan to enroll in regular college programs leading to the baccalaureate degree in University System institutions. The courses outlined represent the minimum standards required by the Board of Regents. Each institution may set higher standards than those listed.

PROVISIONAL ADMISSION
Institutions may maintain a provisional admission category for those entering students graduating from high school in or after the spring of 1991 who do not meet the regular admission standards. Institutions may choose not to have a provisional admission category.
In general, if a student did not complete the CPC in either English or math, he or she is required to take the Collegiate Placement Exam (CPE) or the COMPASS exam. Depending on the score on the CPE, the student would either exempt Learning Support or be placed in Learning Support at the appropriate level. A student who did not complete CPC science, social science, andlor foreign language is required to take additional college-level coursework. The student must remove each CPC deficiency by earning at least a "C" in a five quarter-hour course before completing 45 total credit hours. This must be a Core Curriculum Area II or III course respectively for science and social science deficiencies and one additional introductory course for foreign language deficiencies. Any course taken to satisfy a CPC deficiency is in addition to the standard requirements for the program and cannot be counted toward a degree. Institutions may set higher standards for completing the CPC in college or may have additional placement procedures.
After 2001, the provisional admission category will no longer exist. The admissions policy approved by the Board of Regents in June 1996 raises admissions standards for CPC completion. The provisional admissions category will be phased out at some institutions before 2001.

Notes: 1. This table includes only those freshmen who attempted at least five quarter credit hours by Spring quarter 1996.
2. The composite score is derived by summing the SAT verbal score and the SAT math score. The possible range for SATV and SATM is 200 to 800; the possible composite score range is 400 to 1600.
3. Medical College of Georgia admits only a limited number of freshmen, and their data are not included.
4. The number of freshmen in this table should not be used to determine the size of an institution's entering class for the year. Not included are students with missing data on SAT, students with GED's, those admitted into programs that do not require SAT scores, and those who were admitted based on ACT scores.
5. The Georgia and Nation scores are recentered on individual scores; the University System means for 1987-1995 were recentered. University System data for 1996 were reported on the recentered scale.
* The Georgia total includes all 1996 Georgia high school seniors who took the SAT any time during their high school years through March 1996. If a student took the SAT more than once, the most recent score is used.

HOW TO READ THE TABLE: 1) Locate the column of the Sending Institution at the top of the page and the row of the Receiving Institution on the left side of the page. For example, GIT (Georgia Tech) received 14 transfer students from KSU (Kennesaw State University) and KSU received 46 transfer students from GIT. 2) To determine how many students transferred from a System institution to another System institution, read the bottom line. For example, 333 students transferred from Georgia Tech to another System institution. Data are not available on numbers who transferred to a non-System Georgia institution or an out-of-state institution.

FIRST-YEAR RETENTION RATES
Fall 1995 - Fall 1996
Retention rates represent the percentages of respective pools of Fall quarter first-time, full-time entering students who are reemolled or transferred within the University System in the following Fall quarter. The student pools for which one-year retention rates are calculated are regularly admitted freshmen, black (B) and all other (AO), and Developmental Studies students, black and all other. The institution-specific rates are based on students who are retained in Fall 1996 at the institution at which they matriculated in Fall1995. The System rates include those students who transferred from the Fall1995 institution to another System institution.

ENROLLMENT TARGETS
1998-2002
A cornerstone of continuous improvement is comprehensive planning for the future, and part of the comprehensive planning for the University System of Georgia is strategic enrollment planning. Following are the proposed institutional enrollment targets. Each target represents a range of plus or minus two percent of the target. For an institution to meet its enrollment target, its enrollment for any given year must remain within the corridor created by the that year's target number plus or minus two percent. These targets will be rolling five year targets; each year a new year will be added and the remaining four years reviewed to insure they are still appropriate.

UNIFORM CALENDAR

QUARTER SYSTEM
All institutions in the System operate on a quarter system with the exception of the Law Schools at the University of Georgia and Georgia State University which were granted permission by the Board to operate on a semester system.
LENGTH OF QUARTER
The three regular quarters of the academic year (fall, winter, spring) cannot be less than eleven calendar weeks each, with allowances therein for registration, instruction, examinations, and reporting of grades to the registrars. A quarter normally includes ten full weeks of instruction (a minimum of 47 class days). A minimum of 500 minutes of instruction is required for each quarter credit hour awarded to the student.
The scheduling of summer quarter work may be flexible but with the stipulation that all summer quarter work be equivalent to that done in other quarters, with respect to instructional time.
BEGINNING AND ENDING DATES
The earliest beginning and latest ending dates are approved by the Chancellor and must be followed by all institutions.

SEMESTER CONVERSION

The Board of Regents approved the conversion from a quarter calendar to a semester calendar in December 1995, with actual conversion to be in effect in Fall 1998. All of the System institutions, with the exception of Georgia Institute of Technology, will convert at that time. Because of their extensive involvement with the 1996 Olympic Games, Georgia Tech was granted a one year delay. Their conversion will be in effect Fall1999.

One of the principal benefits of the semester conversion is curriculum review. Each System institution has completed a thorough review of its academic program offerings. New courses have been added, and some existing courses have been deleted. The Core Curriculum at each institution has been redesigned to facilitate transfer among System institutions. Most courses will be three credits and will meet three times per week. The full-time load for an undergraduate will be 12 semester hours. The full-time load for a graduate student will be 9 semester hours.

New academic calendars have also been approved. Each System institution will begin and end classes during the same week each year.

LEARNING SUPPORT PROGRAMS

Developmental Studies programs began in Fall 1974 as a means of bringing the reading, English, and mathematical skills of marginally prepared students up to standard. In 1993, Developmental Studies policy and procedures were revised and Developmental Studies programs were included under a broader Learning Support (LS) structure. LS programs serve students who need preparation in reading, mathematics, English, and/or other areas for success in college. Students who do not meet standards for regular admission are required to take the appropriate part(s) of the Collegiate Placement Exam or Compass exam to determine whether they are to be placed in LS courses. In admissions, placement, and exit requirements, institutions may set higher standards than required by the System. No degree credit may be earned in LS courses, but institutional credit is awarded. LS programs may serve three groups of students:
1) Students required to take LS courses because they are below System minimum requirements for placement (430 SAT-Verbal or 400 SAT-Math or CPC English or CPC Math);
2) Students who are above the System minimum requirements but are required by the institution to take LS courses or other courses;
3) Students who volunteer to take LS courses to prepare for regular college courses.

REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
PURPOSE: The Regents' Testing Program (RTP) was instituted in all System institutions to provide System-wide information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and writing and a uniform means of identifying those students who fail to attain the minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading and writing. Passing the test became a requirement for graduation from undergraduate degree programs (associate and baccalaureate) in 1973. In 1987 the RTP policy was changed to exempt students earning career associate degrees.
DESCRIPTION: The test consists of two parts, reading and essay, and is administered each quarter at all System institutions. The reading part of the test is a 60-item, multiple choice test based on ten reading passages with five to eight questions about each passage. The questions are designed to assess vocabulary, comprehension, and analysis skills. The minimum passing score for the reading section is 61.
For the essay, students have one hour in which to choose and write on one of the two topics that are given. The completed essays are then distributed by the RTP office among six centers in the State, where three independent raters from System institutions score each essay on a four-point scale. The final score is the rating on which at least two of the three raters agree or the middle rating if there is no agreement. Thus, an essay is given a failing grade only if at least two of the three raters assign a failing grade.
REMEDIATION: Students who have earned 75 quarter hours of college-level credit and have not passed both parts of the test must take non-degree credit courses in remedial reading and/or writing until they have passed both parts of the test. If a student fails only one part of the test, he or she is required to repeat only that part. There is no limit on the number of times a student may take remediation or retake the test, although some institutions have policies allowing students to retake the test only when quantifiable progress has been made.
RESULTS: Because institutions vary in their policies concerning the Regents' Test, it is unwise to use the data on the next page to compare institutions.

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROGRAMS
CORE CURRICULUM
The institutions of the University System share a common general mission in providing a Core Curriculum for all entering freshmen. The purpose is to aid and facilitate the educational progress of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System. It is designed to constitute the freshman and sophomore years of study and assure the transfer student that Core Curriculum courses successfully completed at one University System institution, or a fractional part thereof, will be accepted at another University System unit and apply toward a baccalaureate degree. The Core also provides for the preservation of the maximum possible amount of institutional autonomy.
The Core Curriculum is composed of 90 quarter credit hours of study divided among four areas of which 60 hours are in general education and 30 in a major area of study.

The result has been that fewer transfer students lose credit, and institutions, particularly two-year colleges, are no longer placed in the difficult position of attempting to provide excessive curricular offerings to satisfy lower division requirements in various baccalaureate degree programs offered at all four-year institutions. Each institution has developed its Core Curriculum within the broad context of the above plan. The list is maintained in the Core Curriculum Handbook and is updated periodically as changes are recommended.
Sources: Core Curriculum Handbook; Office of Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
COUNCIL FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
The University System is committed to achieving world-class status by empowering its institutions to enable their faculty, students, and staff to participate effectively in a global society. Strategic alliances, partnerships and other collaborative initiatives will link the University System with other parts of the world and bring other parts of the world to Georgia. The synergy thus achieved will provide the international perspective and cross-cultural competence required for Georgians to participate fully and effectively as leaders in a global society.
In March 1995, the Board of Regents approved a policy direction which included the following goals:
To provide international development opportunities for two percent of University System faculty annually by 1997;
To design and implement a comprehensive strategy for internationalizing the University System and its institutions by the end of 1997, with special emphasis on international elements being integrated into the curriculum;
To have two percent of University System students annually participating in study abroad programs by the year 2000;
To implement a global communications network by 1996;
To have at least five new international initiatives with Georgia businesses or industries in design or under way by 1998;
To have established a well-integrated institutional base, statewide scope of responsibility, and System organizational support for the ongoing exercise of these and related functions by the end of 1997.
To accomplish these goals a Council for International Education (CIE) was appointed in the spring of 1995. The CIE includes representatives from the business community and leadership from the institutions and international education. The Council's role is to develop a vision and strategic plan for implementing the goals identified in the International Policy approved by the Board of Regents.

ADMISSION STANDARDS AND PROGRAMS
MINIMUM ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS: 1996-97
The following minimum freshman admissions requirements have been approved by the Board of Regents:
Regular admission to programs leading to the baccalaureate degree requires...
Graduation from an accredited secondary school, a high school approved by the institution, or a GED certificate which satisfies the minimum score requirements of the State of Georgia;
Completion of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the American College Testing (ACT) Assessment Program; and Completion of college preparatory curriculum (CPC).
Students must have a minimum of a 1.8 high school grade point average (on a 4.0 scale on all academic courses) or a 330 verbal SAT score or a 310 mathematics SAT score (or comparable ACT scores). Students scoring below 430 on the verbal SAT or 400 mathematics SAT or who did not complete the CPC in English or mathematics must be tested for entry into appropriate learning support courses.
Students who have not attended school within the previous five years and have earned fewer than 20 transferable hours may take the University System of Georgia Collegiate Placement Examination instead of the SAT or ACT. The admissions policy was revised in June 1996, and higher standards will be phased in by 2001.
Admission to career degree programs requires...
Graduation from an accredited secondary school, a high school approved by the institution, or a GED certificate which satisfies the minimum score requirements of the State of Georgia and;
Completion of the University System of Georgia Collegiate Placement Examination.
Satisfaction of these minima does not guarantee admission to any University System institution since institutions may establish both higher and additional admissions requirements.
Source: The Policy Manual
JOINT ENROLLMENT AND EARLY ADMISSION PROGRAMS
The purpose of both programs is to provide academically talented high school students with opportunities for acceleration of their formal academic programs. A joint enrollment student is one who is enrolled in courses for college credit while continuing in high school. An early admissions student is one who enrolls as a full-time college student following completion of the junior year in high school. Minimum admissions requirements are 1) a minimum combined Scholastic Assessment Test score of 970 or equivalent ACT scores, 2) a minimum cumulative high school grade point average of 3.0 in academic subjects, 3) written approval (joint enrollment) or written recommendation (early admission) of the high school principal, 4) written consent of parent or guardian (if student is a minor), and 5) completion of CPC. Early admission also requires exemption of all learning support requirements. Institutions may establish higher admissions standards or additional admissions requirements for either or both programs. In Fall 1996, 1,642 students were enrolled through the joint enrollment program, an increase of 18 percent since 1995. Many of these students were enrolled under the Post-Secondary Options program.

Policy Initiatives, 1996
In a major strategic planning effort started in August 1994, the Board of Regents, along with Chancellor Stephen R. Portch, his staff, and the presidents of various campuses, committed to make the University System of Georgia a world-class university system. The Board stressed the necessity of making good academic use of available technology and equipment and of preparing an adequate human and organizational infrastructure to implement the System's strategic plan. The concluding paragraph of the reiterates that "The University System of Georgia will hold itself accountable to the citizens of Georgia for the effective and efficient use of every available material resource, new technology, and human insight and activity to achieve access to academic excellence for all citizens and to charge its collective intellectual power on behalf of the state. "
To this end, the Board of Regents approved a set of budget technology initiatives: A Vision for One Statewide Library, renamed GALILEO-GeorgiA Library LEarning Online; Connecting Students and Services; and Connecting Teachers and Technology.
A Vision for One Statewide Library-GALILEO provides for universal access to materials and information services by all students and faculty in the University System enhances student learning enhances quality of teaching, research, and service provides for a responsible stewardship of system resources establishes an information infrastructure which will place the University System in the forefront of information technology
Connecting Students and Services improves student transitions from secondary school to college by providing easily accessible registration improves student transfers from one college or university to another within the University System, or from vocationaltechnical institutes to University System units, by increasing transfer articulation agreements and by ensuring easy access-for students and their advisors-to current information on those agreements improves student movement through academic programs and requirements into entry-level jobs with appropriate careeradvancement potential and increases student access to advisors and advisor access to relevant student information improves the System's capability for tracking student transitions from secondary school to college, through college, and from college to work, by ensuring comparable data collection from unit to unit and compatible systems for sharing it
Connecting Teachers and Technology expands the number of academic programs using instructional technologies increases the number of faculty and staff trained and the number of support staff available to deliver programs by distance education using instructional technologies increases the use of distance education to support the delivery of graduate and undergraduate education by System institutions expands the technology infrastructure within the University System enables faculty and staff to exploit technology and distance learning systems to deliver instruction in new ways and to previously unreachable audiences

FACULTY BY TENURE STATUS

December 1996

Tenure resides at the institutional level. Only assistant professors, associate professors, and professors who are normally employed full-time by an institution are eligible for tenure. Tenure is awarded upon recommendation of the president and approval by the Board of Regents. Tenure may be awarded at the end of a five-year period, and the maximum time that may be served at the rank of assistant professor or above without the award of tenure is seven years. Administrators do not hold tenure in their administrative positions but may be awarded rank and tenure within a department. The Board has also established a non-tenure track policy for persons with faculty rank. There is no limit for years of service in this category, but persons cannot be considered for award of tenure or receive probationary credit toward tenure for years of service in this track.
The data that follow include full-time teaching faculty, general administrators, academic administrators, public service faculty, librarians, and counselors who hold Board approved academic rank and are employed on at least an academic year contract. Part-time faculty are not included.

FUNDING FORMULA

The University System operates under a formula funding system developed in 1982 and implemented in the FY1984 budget request. The goal of full funding of the formula was achieved in FY1987.
The formula is a mathematical device that aggregates the funding needs of all institutions to provide a continuous level of support for the Resident Instruction activity of the University System. The formula is used by: 1) the Board of Regents to request Resident Instruction funds from the State of Georgia; 2) the Governor to recommend Resident Instruction funding to the Legislature; and 3) the Legislature to appropriate State funds for Resident Instruction to the Board of Regents. The formula is not used to allocate money to the various institutions.
An array of workload variables is applied to a set of constants to determine Resident Instruction funding needs. Student workload, expressed in terms of quarter credit hours (QCH), directly or indirectly generates about 80 percent of the total budget. Operation and maintemnce costs of the physical plant account for another 15 percent of the budget. Thus, the formula is student driven. The workload variables and constants are described below.

I. INSTRUCTIONAND RESEARCH

A. Instruction. The formula for instruction is based on QCH generated in three instructional levels (lower, upper, and graduate/professional) and three broad program groups (1-3), plus special program groups for learning support (4) and medicine (5).

Group 1. Group 2.
Group 3.
Group 4. Group 5.

Law, Letters, Library Science, Psychology, and Social Sciences Area Studies, Business, Communications, Education, Home Economics, Mathematics, Public Affairs, and Interdisciplinary Studies Agriculture, Architecture, Biological Sciences, Computer Science, Engineering, Fine and Applied Arts, Foreign Languages, Health Professions, Physical Sciences, and Technologies Learning Support Programs Medicine, Dentistry, Veterimry Medicine

Total instruction expenditures = academic salary expenditures + instructional support position expenditures + instructioml
operating expense expenditures.

B. Research. Funding for research is based on an amount equivalent to total graduate instruction expenditures.

C. Community Education. Funding is based on the number of Continuing Education Units produced times a dollar rate.

II. PUBLIC SERVICE. A basic amount is funded for each institution to support a campus coordinator and one support position. Separately organized institutes are specially funded.

TOTAL FUNDING BASE: Sum of I and II (Instruction, Research, Community Education and Public Service Expenditures)
III. ACADEMIC SUPPORT. 17.7 percent X Total Funding Base = Academic Support Expenditures.

STUDENT FEES FY1987 and FY1997

Fees are classified as either mandatory or elective. Mandatory fees include 1) fees mandated by the Board for all University System students, such as matriculation fees and non-resident tuition, and 2) fees mandated by the institution and approved by the Board such as student activity fees, athletic fees, health fees, and transportation fees. Elective fees are established by the institution, approved by the Chancellor, and paid by the students who elect and/or benefit from the specific service such as student housing, food service, and special class fees. The Board must authorize increases in tuition and matriculation fees to bring the student's contribution up to 25 percent of the total General Operations revenue in the Resident Instruction budget. Students who do not qualify for resident status must pay both the matriculation and non-resident fees.

+ The System owned 2,751 buildings valued at $4.6 billion. + Institutions completed $256.6 million in construction during FY1996.

APPROPRIATIONS
Facilities and Capital Outlay
Among the primary responsibilities of the Board of Regents is that of providing adequate facilities at the 34 institutions. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Facilities administers Board policy in this area. Title to all properties is vested in the Board of Regents. The Board may hold, purchase, lease, sell, convey, or otherwise dispose of property if deemed appropriate for efficient administration of the University System.
The Board of Regents use the top-ranked building requests from each of the institutions to develop the priority list of new buildings to be included in the University System budget request submitted to the Governor each September. The institutions' lists of major repair and rehabilitation projects are used by the Office of Facilities in administering the annual appropriation to the Major Repair/Rehabilitation Fund, an element of the Regents' funding formula.
While the larger facilities constructed are financed through the sale of bonds issued by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), cash appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly are also a major source of funding for construction projects. Additional funds for construction come from outside sources (i.e., private donors and grants).

MAJOR REPAIR AND REHABILITATION ALLOCATIONS
FY1992 - FY1996
In accordance with the recommendations of the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance (1982), the day-to-day operation of the physical plant continues to be funded on the established dollars per square foot funding approach. However, to cover the non-formula component for major repairs and maintenance, the Committee recommended that the appropriation be set at threefourths of one percent of the current replacement value of all System buildings. This recommendation became effective in FY1984 but was fully funded for the first time in the FY1987 budget. Prior to FY1984, the System received a constant $2.5 million annually.
Allocations have been used for such projects as reroofing or roof replacement, repairing/replacing boilers and chillers, upgrading electrical systems, providing handicapped access, bringing buildings up to fire code specifications, and the removal of asbestos materials for buildings in the University System.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Universities
Research activities serve to expand the existing body of knowledge, provide learning opportunities for graduate students, and find solutions for problems. The research mission in the University System is concentrated primarily in the four universities. Fort Valley State University has an agricultural research mission assigned to it as a result of its designation as an 1890 Land Grant Institution and operates an Agricultural Research Station at Fort Valley. Research programs carried out in the universities had a total extramural support in FY1996 of $360 million and are described below. Georgia Southern University and Valdosta State University have research missions focused on applied topics.
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Georgia Tech is a major center for advanced technology in Georgia and the Southeast. The Institute conducts research of national significance, provides services and facilities to faculty, students, industry, and government agencies, and supports the economic and technological growth of the state. Research operations are carried out through a group of schools, centers, and laboratories, each performing research in a particular field of interest. Most of the research is supported by contracts with government organizations and private industry. A significant portion of the total research activity is within the broad fields of electronics, environmental science and technology, manufacturing, biotechnology, materials, microelectronics, transportation, and telecommunications.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Universities (Continued)
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The University of Georgia is both a land-grant and sea-grant college. All thirteen schools/colleges have extensive research programs. The following areas are representative of some of the recognized research strengths. Research in biology and chemistry is conducted in many colleges, departments, and multidisciplinary units, including the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, the Center for Metalloenzyme Studies, the Center for Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology, the Center for Biological Resource Recovery, and the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry. Biotechnology research focuses on plant development and production, crop protection, forest science and applications, animal improvement and health, human health, and fermentation applications. Research in the College of Pharmacy focuses on the development of new drugs and toxicology. Agricultural research is conducted at the three major Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations in Athens, Griffin, and Tifton, and five smaller stations in the state. Research emphasis is on environmentally sound and input-efficient production practices. The Veterinary Medicine Experiment Station and the Poultry Disease Research Center in Athens conduct research on disease problems of agricultural and companion animals. The Veterinary Diagnostic Assistance Laboratories have facilities in Athens and Tifton. Environmental and ecological research is a major emphasis across several colleges, with the recognized activities in the Institute of Ecology and the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory. Marine research is concentrated at the Marine Institute of Sapelo Island, the Marine Extension Center at Brunswick, and the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. Research strengths in other areas are highlighted in the Institute for Behavioral Research, the Center for East-West Trade Policy, the Humanities Center, the Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science, and the Center for Simulational Physics. Ongoing research in math, reading, and science education, as well as learning disorders, is conducted by faculty in the College of Education. Extramural support to The University of Georgia for FY1996 was $127 million.
GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
Georgia Southern University focuses its applied research efforts on assisting south Georgia to meet regional development needs and to respond to emerging research and resource development opportunities. All six colleges--Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Graduate Studies, Health and Professional Studies, and Technology--play a role in these applied research efforts; as do the Institute for Arthropodology and Parasitology (lAP) and several interdisciplinary centers and bureaus. lAP, which houses the U.S. National Tick Collection, is doing research on Lyme Disease (including a collaborative epidemiological study with the Medical College of Georgia) and other arthropod- and parasite-vectored diseases. The Center for Rural Health and Research explores such issues as the maldistribution of health care providers, the AIDS-risk attitudes and behavior of migrant farm workers, and access to health care among minorities and the rural poor. The Bureau of Public Affairs, which operates the Rural Public Administration Network and the Bureau of Business Research and Economic Development, concentrates its applied research and technical assistance on regional planning and economic development issues. Laser-based research on the optical properties of inert gases and alkali vapors is an emerging strength of the Physics Department. The Geology Department in collaboration with the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is conducting several research projects on coastal and marine resources and challenges. Initial findings from this department's analysis of a locally unearthed 40-million-year-old whale fossil suggest that the whale represents a new genus and species. The implications for evolutionary theory have drawn the attention of paleontologists across the globe. Additional strengths are found in ongoing work on rural atmospheric pollutants, coastal ecological challenges, control of insect pests, threats to the survival of loggerhead turtles and other endangered or threatened species, small business development and exporting opportunities, and the needs of the State's tourism industry. Extramural support for FY1996 was $5 million.
VALDOSTA STATE UNIVERSITY
Valdosta State carries out research programs in conjunction with its mission as a regional university through the colleges of the Arts, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, and Nursing. Research on environmental issues, including the environmental impact of industries in South Georgia, is conducted by several departments. The South Georgia Institute conducts research in business and industrial development and conducts economic forecasting and analysis for the region. A significant proportion of the total research conducted in education is in early childhood intervention, speech and language pathologies, and in teacher development. Extramural support for FY1996 was $4 million.

INSTITUTES AND CENTERS

Both centers and institutes provide an organizational base for research and an opportunity for interdisciplinary activity and involvement in continuing education activities, facilitate efforts to obtain extramural funding, and serve as a link between the academic and professional communities in a given academic area. A center is not an autonomous structure within the organizational structure of the college or university, but an institute may be an autonomous unit. An institute, unlike a center, may offer credit courses and degree programs.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
As part of the mission of the University System, public service and continuing education act as an interface between the 34 institutions and the communities which they serve. Such activities are an extension of the traditional on-campus learning process and have been established to improve the welfare of Georgia's citizens and serve business, industry, government, and professional organizations. The public service/continuing education component consists of the following:
Instructional services--offering primarily non-degree credit work designed for the purpose of upgrading skills or personal development
Applied research--finding pragmatic solutions for identified problems
Consultation--providing expertise for solving problems
Technical assistance--providing support for completing a task
Board policy mandates that each institution will offer a variety of conferences, institutes, short courses, workshops, seminars, and training programs. The principal unit awarded for participation in these non-degree credit activities is the Continuing Education Unit (C. E. U.), defined as "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. "
The C.E. U. is accepted nationally as the unit for measuring participation in non-credit continuing education programs. There are two categories of continuing education activity, and only those individuals who take programs that meet the criteria for Category I may be awarded C.E. U. 's. Activities in Category I must meet administrative criteria, including being a part of an institution with a continuing education staff that has a library with reference resources and program criteria that include specifying outcomes of the learning experience and stating requirements for measurement of goals and completion of the program. Programs in Category II do not meet the criteria for inclusion in Category I but may meet the needs of the community or help satisfy the service mission of the institution. Category II activities are planned educational events of an instructional nature, with individually registered participants. "Continuing Education Activities" include both Category I and Category II programs. The rapid growth that has occurred in this area is displayed below.

PUBLIC SERVICE

Public service activities at University System institutions are diverse. To help facilitate these activities, the following special public service organizations have been established:
Georgia Extension Service
The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service/Fort Valley State College Cooperative Extension Program operates in 159 counties, serving the people of the state through a traditional concept: taking the University to the people. A staff of highly trained specialists in agriculture, home economics, community and rural development, and youth development supports county extension personnel. In concert with client advisors, they identify key issues, develop programs, and carry out their mission of teaching in an informal, out-of-classroom setting.
The Extension Service, along with other state extension services and the UGA College of Agriculture, has identified issues to target in its programs. They include: alternative agricultural opportunities; building human capital; competitiveness and profitability in agriculture; conservation and management of natural resources; family and economic well-being; improving nutrition, diet, and health; revitalizing rural America; water quality; and youth at risk.
Within the context of these national initiatives and The University of Georgia Strategic Plan, the Extension Service has targeted five critical issues for intensified educational emphasis: agricultural profitability and sustainability; water quality; food quality and safety; rural economic development; and parenting education.
Rural Development Center. Tifton
This unit of the Cooperative Extension Service is an outreach service center for The University of Georgia's Cooperative Extension Service. The primary focus is on the development of the economic potential of the state's agriculture. Agricultural specialists housed at the Center are the link between the knowledge of University researchers and the county agent and farmer. The Center also serves as a conference center offering educational programs designed to help provide solutions to identified state and national issues which encompass the College of Agriculture priorities with emphasis on those issues critical to rural revitalization.
Georgia Center for Continuing Education
Georgia Center for Continuing Education plans and implements educational programs in response to the diverse needs of adults throughout Georgia, the nation, and many foreign lands. These needs are expressed individually or through a range of governmental agencies, business and professional organizations, and civic, cultural, and education groups. The center's staff works with University faculty, other experts, and clientele groups to extend the relevant resources of the University to adult learners.
The center delivers a complex, comprehensive educational program through residential conferences and short courses; on-campus and off-campus programs for credit, non-credit, and certification; credit and non-credit audioconferences and teleconferences; independent study; mass media; and National Public Radio. The Georgia Center's electronic classroom provides distance education opportunities to students nationwide. The classroom is equipped to deliver two-way audio and video via digital compression and is connected to the statewide distance learning system, Georgia State Academic and Medical System (GSAMS), which has over 200 receive sites around Georgia. The classroom is also interconnected to the teleproduction facilities of the center and provides access to Georgia Public Television and the Georgia Center satellite uplink. Other services include cooperative programming with other institutions of higher education; television and film production; print design and production; media library operations; and consultation and supportive services to organizations and agencies.
Economic Development Laboratory
The Georgia Tech Research Institute's Economic Development Laboratory, through its campus-based programs and industrial extension regional offices, is Georgia Tech's primary vehicle for interaction with industry in Georgia. The laboratory holds conferences, courses, and symposia throughout the year. The lab is involved with assisting business with technology, engineering safe workplaces and environments, advancing manufacturing technology, conducting economic and marketing services, and providing education and training.
The Industrial Education Group helps Georgia companies improve their productivity and product quality through in-plant training of managers and supervisors. The many programs include supervisory skills, statistical process control and customized technical training. Classes feature actual case studies and emphasize implementation of what is learned.
Urban Life Center
This center at Georgia State University seeks solutions to urban problems through instruction, research, and service.

Dear Colleague:
The vision statement adopted by the Board of Regents and reprinted in these pages continues to guide the development of the University System of Georgia. This common vision combined with the commitment of our faculty, staff, and students to excellence help explain our many successes. The thirty-four colleges and universities in our System address the needs of the State of Georgia in bold and creative ways, positioning us among the leaders of public higher education in the nation.
This twelfth edition of the Information Digest provides a wide range of comparative and historical data to answer the most frequently asked questions about the University System. It is one of our means of being accountable to the citizens of Georgia for their investment in higher education. It includes both data that make us proud and data that tell us where we must do better.
As we continue to strengthen higher education in the State of Georgia, we depend on data to inform our decisions and to serve as a benchmark by which we monitor our progress. We welcome any suggestions you may have for future editions of the Information Digest.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Vision Statement
ACCESS TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM
As Georgia emerges as a leader in a global society, the University System of Georgia will lead in access to academic excellence. Among the nation's public universities and colleges, Georgia's will be recognized for first-rate undergraduate education, leading-edge research, and committed public service. Georgians will appreciate the System's prestige and leadership in public higher education, including its graduate and professional programs, as fundamental to the state's economic, social, technological, and cultural advancement. The University System of Georgia and its component colleges and universities will sustain close contact with the people of Georgia, be responsive to the needs of Georgians first and foremost while raising their aspirations, and generate a more highly educated populace throughout the state. It will seek to create for students from various backgrounds every possible avenue to intellectual achievement without compromising academic excellence, and challenge them to their full potential for leadership. Its students, who are its heart and soul, will therefore be its strongest supporters.
To these ends, the University System of Georgia will be characterized by:
A whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, in which each campus has a clearly focused and valued mission, and all contribute their strong, bright threads to a network of programs that covers Georgians' diverse needs for higher education.
Students who master their majors and the basic skills of critical reasoning, independent thinking, computation, co=unication, collaboration, and creativity needed to enter the workplace with confidence, to move beyond entry-level jobs, to pursue lifelong learning, and to exercise leadership as contributing citizens who advance their families, co=unities, state, nation, and world into the new millennium.
A world-class, diverse faculty and staff who have superior co=unication and teaching skills; who use new technologies, roles, and curricular innovations creatively to enhance student learning; and who exhibit the highest standards of intellectual achievement and continuing growth, social responsibility, and concern for students.
Active partnerships with business and industry, cultural and social organizations, and government in order to analyze, project, and respond to changing state and regional needs, to support Georgia's economic and cultural development and to insure that its graduates are prepared for the future.
Campus learning co=unities that engage students with the ideas that mark educated persons, global and multicultural perspectives, and advanced technology to develop both ethical principles and intellectual flexibility for the world of tomorrow; and that celebrate and energize the student spirit, while respecting and supporting the different ways students develop their minds, their persons, and their citizenship.
Leadership in establishing higher state standards for post-secondary education and--with the public schools and technical institutes--in improving and valuing education at all levels, helping students move smoothly within the System and from one educational sector to another, and insuring that all students who enter the University System are prepared to succeed.
A constitutional Board of Regents that establishes clear policies and review procedures to promote the continuing improvement of every unit and of the System as a coordinated whole, that encourages initiative and innovation throughout the System, that requires full accountability from all, and that insures responsible stewardship.
The University System of Georgia will hold itself accountable to the citizens of Georgia for the effective and efficient use of every available material resource, new technology, and human insight and activity to achieve access to academic excellence for all citizens, and to charge its collective intellectual power on behalf of the state.

Infonnation Digest 1995-97

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Guiding Principles for Strategic Action
The University System of Georgia--which includes the Board of Regents, its Chancellor's Office, and all the institutions governed by the Board--
1. Shall stimulate Georgians' aspirations for higher education, have high academic standards for its students and programs, challenge and assist students to meet or exceed those standards, provide sound academic and career advice, help students prepare for employment and lifelong education in a changing world, and increase the number of well educated Georgians.
2. Shall place the welfare of its students, within the context of academic quality, as its first priority in decision-making at all levels.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Brief History
The beginnings of public higher education in the State can be traced to 1784 when the General Assembly set aside 40,000 acres of land for the endowment of "a college or seminary of learning." During the following year, a charter was granted for the establishment of Franklin College, now the University of Georgia. The state later provided appropriations for establishing the following branches: School of Technology in Atlanta, 1885 (now Georgia Tech); Georgia Normal and Industrial College for Girls, Milledgeville, 1889 (now Georgia College & State Univ.); Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths, Savannah, 1890 (now Savannah State University); and the South Georgia Normal School, Valdosta, 1906 (now Valdosta State University). Later, the legislature established an agricultural and mechanical arts (A&M) school in each congressional district.
In 1929, Governor L. G. Hardman established a committee charged with recommending reorganization of higher education. The most significant idea was the creation of a central governing board. On August 28, 1931, the Reorganization Act was signed which created the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Act called for the governor to appoint eleven members, one from each congressional district, and one at large.
In its January 1932 meeting, the Board adopted the following Statement of Plan:
It is the conviction of the Board of Regents that the people of Georgia intended to ordain by the Act creating the Board that the twenty-six institutions comprising the University System should no longer function as separate, independent, and unrelated entities competing with each other for patronage and financial support.
The manifest purpose of the Act creating the Board of Regents is to unify and coordinate the work of these institutions so that the educational program of each shall be integrated with that of every other institution and with the system as a whole. The result aimed at is a correlated, harmonious, and symmetrical structure free from wasteful duplications, but providing the maximum of educational opportunity to the students of the State. In short, the emphasis has been shifted from the interests of particular institutions to the interests of the State.
While the traditions, the welfare and the prestige of the several branches of the system will be an object of care on the part of the Board, all of their problems are to be finally resolved by the answer to the question: What will best serve the educational interests of the State as a whole?
With this as the paramount consideration, the constant aim of this body will be to establish and maintain a system of higher education that will command the sympathy and support of our educational leaders, and at the same time successfully meet our needs by offering the young men and women of Georgia the maximum of education.
To accomplish this result, the Regents will, after careful study, take such steps that to them seem best to coordinate and unify these institutions so that they will be related in purpose and regulated in scope. The only competition in which these schools will hereafter engage will be for preeminence in service and scholarship.
The Reorganization Act of 1931 transferred to the new Board the responsibility for 26 institutions. The Board began immediate reorganization by abolishing the A&M schools and two additional schools and creating two other institutions. The net result was that the System was reduced to 18 institutions. The earliest recorded enrollment was 8,035 in Fall1933. The System was appropriated $1,900,500 by the State for 1932-33 but received only $1,624,928. In 1941, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools withdrew the accreditation of 10 University System institutions because of irregularities and incidences of outside interference into academic activities at the institutions. In 1943, newly-elected Governor Ellis Arnall sponsored a constitutional amendment to remove such interference by making the Board a constitutional body. The amendment was overwhelmingly approved by the voters.
The principles enumerated in the 1932 policy statement have guided the development of a unified system. Today the Board continues to have constitutional authority to govern, control, and manage the University System, as reaffirmed in the approval of the new state constitution in 1982. These powers include the authority for program approval or discontinuance, internal allocation of the budget, facilities construction, and decisions concerning adding new institutions, upgrading or downgrading the level of an institution, or closure or merger of institutions.
The University System is currently composed of 34 institutions (four universities, two regional universities, 13 state universities, and 15 associate degree colleges). In addition, three of the associate colleges and one state university maintain a postsecondary vocational-technical unit in cooperation with the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA Board of Regents

The Board of Regents is composed of 16 members: five from the state-at-large and one from each of the eleven congressional
districts. Members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate to serve seven-year terms of office. The Board meets monthly at the Regents' office in Atlanta and occasionally at System institutions or special retreats. All officers of the Board are elected for one-year terms beginning on July 1, except for the Chancellor who serves at the pleasure of the Board. The Chair of the Board has
the authority to appoint committee chairs and members. Each committee is charged with studying the problems in the field assigned to it and making recommendations to the Board concerning policies and activities. Special committees may also be authorized by the Board as needed.

ADVISORY COUNCIL
1997
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM ADVISORY COUNCIL
The University System Advisory Council has the power to make recommendations to the Chancellor and through him to the Board of Regents regarding educational and administrative matters of concern to the University System. Membership is composed of the Chancellor, the Deputy Chancellor, and the Presidents of the 34 institutions. The Council holds at least one regular meeting each quarter with special meetings held upon the call of the Chancellor. The Advisory Council has both academic and administrative committees which formulate recommendations to be presented to the Advisory Council for consideration. Those matters originating with academic committees are first considered by the Administrative Committee on Academic Affairs prior to consideration by the Advisory Council.
Membership on academic committees is limited to one representative per institution offering work in the field with which the committee is concerned. Administrative committees are of two types: those in which representation consists of one representative from each institution and those with selective representation which are appointed by the Chancellor (Institutional Effectiveness, Research, Testing, Transfer of Credit, and Graduate Work).

ADVISORY COUNCIL 1996(Continued)

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
The purpose of the Student Advisory Council (S.A.C.) is to provide a forum for communication and recommendation among students enrolled in University System institutions and the Chancellor, the Board of Regents, state government, and the public, concerning problems and issues in student-related areas. Membership is composed of one elected officer from each of the institutions. The S.A.C. meets at least once annually and works closely with an advisor from the Chancellor's staff as well as the Chancellor. The Council also meets annually with the Board to present a report of its activities and recommendations.

COLLEGE PREPARATORY CURRICULUM Policy
In 1984, the University System of Georgia adopted the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) policy to be implemented in Fall 1988. In passing the CPC policy, the Board of Regents emphasized that success in college was dependent on strong academic preparation in high school. Board of Regents' policy requires the completion of the college preparatory curriculum for regular admission to any institution of the University System of Georgia. The CPC course requirements have been approved by the Board of Regents and endorsed by the State Board of Education.
REGULAR ADMISSION The following courses are required of students graduating from high school in the spring of 1988 or later who plan to enroll in regular college programs leading to the baccalaureate degree in University System institutions. The courses outlined represent the minimum standards required by the Board of Regents. Each institution may set higher standards than those listed.

PROVISIONAL ADMISSION
Institutions may maintain a provisional admission category for those entering students graduating from high school in or after the spring of 1991 who do not meet the regular admission standards. Institutions may choose not to have a provisional admission category.
In general, if a student did not complete the CPC in either English or math, he or she is required to take the Collegiate Placement Exam (CPE) or the COMPASS exam. Depending on the score on the CPE, the student would either exempt Learning Support or be placed in Learning Support at the appropriate level. A student who did not complete CPC science, social science, andlor foreign language is required to take additional college-level coursework. The student must remove each CPC deficiency by earning at least a "C" in a five quarter-hour course before completing 45 total credit hours. This must be a Core Curriculum Area II or III course respectively for science and social science deficiencies and one additional introductory course for foreign language deficiencies. Any course taken to satisfy a CPC deficiency is in addition to the standard requirements for the program and cannot be counted toward a degree. Institutions may set higher standards for completing the CPC in college or may have additional placement procedures.
After 2001, the provisional admission category will no longer exist. The admissions policy approved by the Board of Regents in June 1996 raises admissions standards for CPC completion. The provisional admissions category will be phased out at some institutions before 2001.

Notes: 1. This table includes only those freshmen who attempted at least five quarter credit hours by Spring quarter 1996.
2. The composite score is derived by summing the SAT verbal score and the SAT math score. The possible range for SATV and SATM is 200 to 800; the possible composite score range is 400 to 1600.
3. Medical College of Georgia admits only a limited number of freshmen, and their data are not included.
4. The number of freshmen in this table should not be used to determine the size of an institution's entering class for the year. Not included are students with missing data on SAT, students with GED's, those admitted into programs that do not require SAT scores, and those who were admitted based on ACT scores.
5. The Georgia and Nation scores are recentered on individual scores; the University System means for 1987-1995 were recentered. University System data for 1996 were reported on the recentered scale.
* The Georgia total includes all 1996 Georgia high school seniors who took the SAT any time during their high school years through March 1996. If a student took the SAT more than once, the most recent score is used.

HOW TO READ THE TABLE: 1) Locate the column of the Sending Institution at the top of the page and the row of the Receiving Institution on the left side of the page. For example, GIT (Georgia Tech) received 14 transfer students from KSU (Kennesaw State University) and KSU received 46 transfer students from GIT. 2) To determine how many students transferred from a System institution to another System institution, read the bottom line. For example, 333 students transferred from Georgia Tech to another System institution. Data are not available on numbers who transferred to a non-System Georgia institution or an out-of-state institution.

FIRST-YEAR RETENTION RATES
Fall 1995 - Fall 1996
Retention rates represent the percentages of respective pools of Fall quarter first-time, full-time entering students who are reemolled or transferred within the University System in the following Fall quarter. The student pools for which one-year retention rates are calculated are regularly admitted freshmen, black (B) and all other (AO), and Developmental Studies students, black and all other. The institution-specific rates are based on students who are retained in Fall 1996 at the institution at which they matriculated in Fall1995. The System rates include those students who transferred from the Fall1995 institution to another System institution.

BACCALAUREATE GRADUATION RATES

Class of 1989

Institution-specific graduation rates are calculated by dividing the number of graduates at the institution by the number of firsttime/full-time (FT/FT) freshmen in 1989. The System specific rate includes those students who graduated from any institution in the System in the numerator. Graduates are counted through spring quarter of the indicated year.

ENROLLMENT TARGETS
1998-2002
A cornerstone of continuous improvement is comprehensive planning for the future, and part of the comprehensive planning for the University System of Georgia is strategic enrollment planning. Following are the proposed institutional enrollment targets. Each target represents a range of plus or minus two percent of the target. For an institution to meet its enrollment target, its enrollment for any given year must remain within the corridor created by the that year's target number plus or minus two percent. These targets will be rolling five year targets; each year a new year will be added and the remaining four years reviewed to insure they are still appropriate.

UNIFORM CALENDAR

QUARTER SYSTEM
All institutions in the System operate on a quarter system with the exception of the Law Schools at the University of Georgia and Georgia State University which were granted permission by the Board to operate on a semester system.
LENGTH OF QUARTER
The three regular quarters of the academic year (fall, winter, spring) cannot be less than eleven calendar weeks each, with allowances therein for registration, instruction, examinations, and reporting of grades to the registrars. A quarter normally includes ten full weeks of instruction (a minimum of 47 class days). A minimum of 500 minutes of instruction is required for each quarter credit hour awarded to the student.
The scheduling of summer quarter work may be flexible but with the stipulation that all summer quarter work be equivalent to that done in other quarters, with respect to instructional time.
BEGINNING AND ENDING DATES
The earliest beginning and latest ending dates are approved by the Chancellor and must be followed by all institutions.

SEMESTER CONVERSION

The Board of Regents approved the conversion from a quarter calendar to a semester calendar in December 1995, with actual conversion to be in effect in Fall 1998. All of the System institutions, with the exception of Georgia Institute of Technology, will convert at that time. Because of their extensive involvement with the 1996 Olympic Games, Georgia Tech was granted a one year delay. Their conversion will be in effect Fall1999.

One of the principal benefits of the semester conversion is curriculum review. Each System institution has completed a thorough review of its academic program offerings. New courses have been added, and some existing courses have been deleted. The Core Curriculum at each institution has been redesigned to facilitate transfer among System institutions. Most courses will be three credits and will meet three times per week. The full-time load for an undergraduate will be 12 semester hours. The full-time load for a graduate student will be 9 semester hours.

New academic calendars have also been approved. Each System institution will begin and end classes during the same week each year.

LEARNING SUPPORT PROGRAMS

Developmental Studies programs began in Fall 1974 as a means of bringing the reading, English, and mathematical skills of marginally prepared students up to standard. In 1993, Developmental Studies policy and procedures were revised and Developmental Studies programs were included under a broader Learning Support (LS) structure. LS programs serve students who need preparation in reading, mathematics, English, and/or other areas for success in college. Students who do not meet standards for regular admission are required to take the appropriate part(s) of the Collegiate Placement Exam or Compass exam to determine whether they are to be placed in LS courses. In admissions, placement, and exit requirements, institutions may set higher standards than required by the System. No degree credit may be earned in LS courses, but institutional credit is awarded. LS programs may serve three groups of students:
1) Students required to take LS courses because they are below System minimum requirements for placement (430 SAT-Verbal or 400 SAT-Math or CPC English or CPC Math);
2) Students who are above the System minimum requirements but are required by the institution to take LS courses or other courses;
3) Students who volunteer to take LS courses to prepare for regular college courses.

REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
PURPOSE: The Regents' Testing Program (RTP) was instituted in all System institutions to provide System-wide information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and writing and a uniform means of identifying those students who fail to attain the minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading and writing. Passing the test became a requirement for graduation from undergraduate degree programs (associate and baccalaureate) in 1973. In 1987 the RTP policy was changed to exempt students earning career associate degrees.
DESCRIPTION: The test consists of two parts, reading and essay, and is administered each quarter at all System institutions. The reading part of the test is a 60-item, multiple choice test based on ten reading passages with five to eight questions about each passage. The questions are designed to assess vocabulary, comprehension, and analysis skills. The minimum passing score for the reading section is 61.
For the essay, students have one hour in which to choose and write on one of the two topics that are given. The completed essays are then distributed by the RTP office among six centers in the State, where three independent raters from System institutions score each essay on a four-point scale. The final score is the rating on which at least two of the three raters agree or the middle rating if there is no agreement. Thus, an essay is given a failing grade only if at least two of the three raters assign a failing grade.
REMEDIATION: Students who have earned 75 quarter hours of college-level credit and have not passed both parts of the test must take non-degree credit courses in remedial reading and/or writing until they have passed both parts of the test. If a student fails only one part of the test, he or she is required to repeat only that part. There is no limit on the number of times a student may take remediation or retake the test, although some institutions have policies allowing students to retake the test only when quantifiable progress has been made.
RESULTS: Because institutions vary in their policies concerning the Regents' Test, it is unwise to use the data on the next page to compare institutions.

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROGRAMS
CORE CURRICULUM
The institutions of the University System share a common general mission in providing a Core Curriculum for all entering freshmen. The purpose is to aid and facilitate the educational progress of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System. It is designed to constitute the freshman and sophomore years of study and assure the transfer student that Core Curriculum courses successfully completed at one University System institution, or a fractional part thereof, will be accepted at another University System unit and apply toward a baccalaureate degree. The Core also provides for the preservation of the maximum possible amount of institutional autonomy.
The Core Curriculum is composed of 90 quarter credit hours of study divided among four areas of which 60 hours are in general education and 30 in a major area of study.

The result has been that fewer transfer students lose credit, and institutions, particularly two-year colleges, are no longer placed in the difficult position of attempting to provide excessive curricular offerings to satisfy lower division requirements in various baccalaureate degree programs offered at all four-year institutions. Each institution has developed its Core Curriculum within the broad context of the above plan. The list is maintained in the Core Curriculum Handbook and is updated periodically as changes are recommended.

COUNCIL FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
The University System is committed to achieving world-class status by empowering its institutions to enable their faculty, students, and staff to participate effectively in a global society. Strategic alliances, partnerships and other collaborative initiatives will link the University System with other parts of the world and bring other parts of the world to Georgia. The synergy thus achieved will provide the international perspective and cross-cultural competence required for Georgians to participate fully and effectively as leaders in a global society.
In March 1995, the Board of Regents approved a policy direction which included the following goals:
To provide international development opportunities for two percent of University System faculty annually by 1997;
To design and implement a comprehensive strategy for internationalizing the University System and its institutions by the end of 1997, with special emphasis on international elements being integrated into the curriculum;
To have two percent of University System students annually participating in study abroad programs by the year 2000;
To implement a global communications network by 1996;
To have at least five new international initiatives with Georgia businesses or industries in design or under way by 1998;
To have established a well-integrated institutional base, statewide scope of responsibility, and System organizational support for the ongoing exercise of these and related functions by the end of 1997.
To accomplish these goals a Council for International Education (CIE) was appointed in the spring of 1995. The CIE includes representatives from the business community and leadership from the institutions and international education. The Council's role is to develop a vision and strategic plan for implementing the goals identified in the International Policy approved by the Board of Regents.

ADMISSION STANDARDS AND PROGRAMS
MINIMUM ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS: 1996-97
The following minimum freshman admissions requirements have been approved by the Board of Regents:
Regular admission to programs leading to the baccalaureate degree requires...
Graduation from an accredited secondary school, a high school approved by the institution, or a GED certificate which satisfies the minimum score requirements of the State of Georgia;
Completion of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the American College Testing (ACT) Assessment Program; and Completion of college preparatory curriculum (CPC).
Students must have a minimum of a 1.8 high school grade point average (on a 4.0 scale on all academic courses) or a 330 verbal SAT score or a 310 mathematics SAT score (or comparable ACT scores). Students scoring below 430 on the verbal SAT or 400 mathematics SAT or who did not complete the CPC in English or mathematics must be tested for entry into appropriate learning support courses.
Students who have not attended school within the previous five years and have earned fewer than 20 transferable hours may take the University System of Georgia Collegiate Placement Examination instead of the SAT or ACT. The admissions policy was revised in June 1996, and higher standards will be phased in by 2001.
Admission to career degree programs requires...
Graduation from an accredited secondary school, a high school approved by the institution, or a GED certificate which satisfies the minimum score requirements of the State of Georgia and;
Completion of the University System of Georgia Collegiate Placement Examination.
Satisfaction of these minima does not guarantee admission to any University System institution since institutions may establish both higher and additional admissions requirements.
Source: The Policy Manual
JOINT ENROLLMENT AND EARLY ADMISSION PROGRAMS
The purpose of both programs is to provide academically talented high school students with opportunities for acceleration of their formal academic programs. A joint enrollment student is one who is enrolled in courses for college credit while continuing in high school. An early admissions student is one who enrolls as a full-time college student following completion of the junior year in high school. Minimum admissions requirements are 1) a minimum combined Scholastic Assessment Test score of 970 or equivalent ACT scores, 2) a minimum cumulative high school grade point average of 3.0 in academic subjects, 3) written approval (joint enrollment) or written recommendation (early admission) of the high school principal, 4) written consent of parent or guardian (if student is a minor), and 5) completion of CPC. Early admission also requires exemption of all learning support requirements. Institutions may establish higher admissions standards or additional admissions requirements for either or both programs. In Fall 1996, 1,642 students were enrolled through the joint enrollment program, an increase of 18 percent since 1995. Many of these students were enrolled under the Post-Secondary Options program.
Sources: Academic Affairs Handbook; Student Information Reporting System
SENIOR CITIZEN ADMISSIONS
Pursuant to a Georgia constitutional amendment passed in 1976, Georgia residents, 62 years of age or older, may enroll as a regular or auditing student in degree credit work on a "space available" basis without payment of fees, except for supplies, laboratory or shop fees. Students must meet all System and institution undergraduate or graduate school admission requirements and follow the same program as other degree-seeking students. The program does not apply to Dental, Medical, Veterinary, or Law Schools. In Fall 1996, 332 persons were enrolled through the program.

INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Policy Initiatives, 1996
In a major strategic planning effort started in August 1994, the Board of Regents, along with Chancellor Stephen R. Portch, his staff, and the presidents of various campuses, committed to make the University System of Georgia a world-class university system. The Board stressed the necessity of making good academic use of available technology and equipment and of preparing an adequate human and organizational infrastructure to implement the System's strategic plan. The concluding paragraph of the reiterates that "The University System of Georgia will hold itself accountable to the citizens of Georgia for the effective and efficient use of every available material resource, new technology, and human insight and activity to achieve access to academic excellence for all citizens and to charge its collective intellectual power on behalf of the state. "
To this end, the Board of Regents approved a set of budget technology initiatives: A Vision for One Statewide Library, renamed GALILEO-GeorgiA Library LEarning Online; Connecting Students and Services; and Connecting Teachers and Technology.
A Vision for One Statewide Library-GALILEO provides for universal access to materials and information services by all students and faculty in the University System enhances student learning enhances quality of teaching, research, and service provides for a responsible stewardship of system resources establishes an information infrastructure which will place the University System in the forefront of information technology
Connecting Students and Services improves student transitions from secondary school to college by providing easily accessible registration improves student transfers from one college or university to another within the University System, or from vocationaltechnical institutes to University System units, by increasing transfer articulation agreements and by ensuring easy access-for students and their advisors-to current information on those agreements improves student movement through academic programs and requirements into entry-level jobs with appropriate careeradvancement potential and increases student access to advisors and advisor access to relevant student information improves the System's capability for tracking student transitions from secondary school to college, through college, and from college to work, by ensuring comparable data collection from unit to unit and compatible systems for sharing it
Connecting Teachers and Technology expands the number of academic programs using instructional technologies increases the number of faculty and staff trained and the number of support staff available to deliver programs by distance education using instructional technologies increases the use of distance education to support the delivery of graduate and undergraduate education by System institutions expands the technology infrastructure within the University System enables faculty and staff to exploit technology and distance learning systems to deliver instruction in new ways and to previously unreachable audiences

FACULTY BY TENURE STATUS

December 1996

Tenure resides at the institutional level. Only assistant professors, associate professors, and professors who are normally employed full-time by an institution are eligible for tenure. Tenure is awarded upon recommendation of the president and approval by the Board of Regents. Tenure may be awarded at the end of a five-year period, and the maximum time that may be served at the rank of assistant professor or above without the award of tenure is seven years. Administrators do not hold tenure in their administrative positions but may be awarded rank and tenure within a department. The Board has also established a non-tenure track policy for persons with faculty rank. There is no limit for years of service in this category, but persons cannot be considered for award of tenure or receive probationary credit toward tenure for years of service in this track.
The data that follow include full-time teaching faculty, general administrators, academic administrators, public service faculty, librarians, and counselors who hold Board approved academic rank and are employed on at least an academic year contract. Part-time faculty are not included.

FUNDING FORMULA

The University System operates under a formula funding system developed in 1982 and implemented in the FY1984 budget request. The goal of full funding of the formula was achieved in FY1987.
The formula is a mathematical device that aggregates the funding needs of all institutions to provide a continuous level of support for the Resident Instruction activity of the University System. The formula is used by: 1) the Board of Regents to request Resident Instruction funds from the State of Georgia; 2) the Governor to recommend Resident Instruction funding to the Legislature; and 3) the Legislature to appropriate State funds for Resident Instruction to the Board of Regents. The formula is not used to allocate money to the various institutions.
An array of workload variables is applied to a set of constants to determine Resident Instruction funding needs. Student workload, expressed in terms of quarter credit hours (QCH), directly or indirectly generates about 80 percent of the total budget. Operation and maintemnce costs of the physical plant account for another 15 percent of the budget. Thus, the formula is student driven. The workload variables and constants are described below.

I. INSTRUCTIONAND RESEARCH

A. Instruction. The formula for instruction is based on QCH generated in three instructional levels (lower, upper, and graduate/professional) and three broad program groups (1-3), plus special program groups for learning support (4) and medicine (5).

Group 1. Group 2.
Group 3.
Group 4. Group 5.

Law, Letters, Library Science, Psychology, and Social Sciences Area Studies, Business, Communications, Education, Home Economics, Mathematics, Public Affairs, and Interdisciplinary Studies Agriculture, Architecture, Biological Sciences, Computer Science, Engineering, Fine and Applied Arts, Foreign Languages, Health Professions, Physical Sciences, and Technologies Learning Support Programs Medicine, Dentistry, Veterimry Medicine

Total instruction expenditures = academic salary expenditures + instructional support position expenditures + instructioml
operating expense expenditures.

B. Research. Funding for research is based on an amount equivalent to total graduate instruction expenditures.

C. Community Education. Funding is based on the number of Continuing Education Units produced times a dollar rate.

II. PUBLIC SERVICE. A basic amount is funded for each institution to support a campus coordinator and one support position. Separately organized institutes are specially funded.

TOTAL FUNDING BASE: Sum of I and II (Instruction, Research, Community Education and Public Service Expenditures)
III. ACADEMIC SUPPORT. 17.7 percent X Total Funding Base = Academic Support Expenditures.

76

Infonnation Digest 1995-97

FUNDING FORMULA (Continued)
IV. STUDENT SERVICES AND INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT General Support. 23.1 percent X Total Funding Base = Student Services and Institutional Support Expenditures. Fringe Benefits. Projected actual needs for benefits such as FICA, health and life insurance, workers' compensation, etc. Teachers' Retirement.
D
V. OPERATIONAND MAINTENANCE OF PHYSICAL PLANT Regular Operations. Number of square feet of building space X cost per square foot = Expenditures for Operation and Maintenance of Physical Plant (in FY1995 budget: 29,796,684 square feet at $3,6991 per square foot). Major Repair/Rehabilitation Fund.. 75% X Current Replacement Value (FY94 replacement value of $4,065,351,333) = Expenditures for MRR. Utilities. Number of square feet (above) X cost of utilities per square foot ($1.6042 in FY94)= Expenditures for utilities.

STUDENT FEES FY1987 and FY1997

Fees are classified as either mandatory or elective. Mandatory fees include 1) fees mandated by the Board for all University System students, such as matriculation fees and non-resident tuition, and 2) fees mandated by the institution and approved by the Board such as student activity fees, athletic fees, health fees, and transportation fees. Elective fees are established by the institution, approved by the Chancellor, and paid by the students who elect and/or benefit from the specific service such as student housing, food service, and special class fees. The Board must authorize increases in tuition and matriculation fees to bring the student's contribution up to 25 percent of the total General Operations revenue in the Resident Instruction budget. Students who do not qualify for resident status must pay both the matriculation and non-resident fees.

Infonnation Digest 1995-97

+ The System owned 2,751 buildings valued at $4.6 billion. + Institutions completed $256.6 million in construction during FY1996.

APPROPRIATIONS
Facilities and Capital Outlay
Among the primary responsibilities of the Board of Regents is that of providing adequate facilities at the 34 institutions. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Facilities administers Board policy in this area. Title to all properties is vested in the Board of Regents. The Board may hold, purchase, lease, sell, convey, or otherwise dispose of property if deemed appropriate for efficient administration of the University System.
The Board of Regents use the top-ranked building requests from each of the institutions to develop the priority list of new buildings to be included in the University System budget request submitted to the Governor each September. The institutions' lists of major repair and rehabilitation projects are used by the Office of Facilities in administering the annual appropriation to the Major Repair/Rehabilitation Fund, an element of the Regents' funding formula.
While the larger facilities constructed are financed through the sale of bonds issued by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), cash appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly are also a major source of funding for construction projects. Additional funds for construction come from outside sources (i.e., private donors and grants).

MAJOR REPAIR AND REHABILITATION ALLOCATIONS
FY1992 - FY1996
In accordance with the recommendations of the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance (1982), the day-to-day operation of the physical plant continues to be funded on the established dollars per square foot funding approach. However, to cover the non-formula component for major repairs and maintenance, the Committee recommended that the appropriation be set at threefourths of one percent of the current replacement value of all System buildings. This recommendation became effective in FY1984 but was fully funded for the first time in the FY1987 budget. Prior to FY1984, the System received a constant $2.5 million annually.
Allocations have been used for such projects as reroofing or roof replacement, repairing/replacing boilers and chillers, upgrading electrical systems, providing handicapped access, bringing buildings up to fire code specifications, and the removal of asbestos materials for buildings in the University System.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Universities (Continued)
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
The University of Georgia is both a land-grant and sea-grant college. All thirteen schools/colleges have extensive research programs. The following areas are representative of some of the recognized research strengths. Research in biology and chemistry is conducted in many colleges, departments, and multidisciplinary units, including the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, the Center for Metalloenzyme Studies, the Center for Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology, the Center for Biological Resource Recovery, and the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry. Biotechnology research focuses on plant development and production, crop protection, forest science and applications, animal improvement and health, human health, and fermentation applications. Research in the College of Pharmacy focuses on the development of new drugs and toxicology. Agricultural research is conducted at the three major Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations in Athens, Griffin, and Tifton, and five smaller stations in the state. Research emphasis is on environmentally sound and input-efficient production practices. The Veterinary Medicine Experiment Station and the Poultry Disease Research Center in Athens conduct research on disease problems of agricultural and companion animals. The Veterinary Diagnostic Assistance Laboratories have facilities in Athens and Tifton. Environmental and ecological research is a major emphasis across several colleges, with the recognized activities in the Institute of Ecology and the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory. Marine research is concentrated at the Marine Institute of Sapelo Island, the Marine Extension Center at Brunswick, and the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. Research strengths in other areas are highlighted in the Institute for Behavioral Research, the Center for East-West Trade Policy, the Humanities Center, the Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science, and the Center for Simulational Physics. Ongoing research in math, reading, and science education, as well as learning disorders, is conducted by faculty in the College of Education. Extramural support to The University of Georgia for FY1996 was $127 million.
GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
Georgia Southern University focuses its applied research efforts on assisting south Georgia to meet regional development needs and to respond to emerging research and resource development opportunities. All six colleges--Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Graduate Studies, Health and Professional Studies, and Technology--play a role in these applied research efforts; as do the Institute for Arthropodology and Parasitology (lAP) and several interdisciplinary centers and bureaus. lAP, which houses the U.S. National Tick Collection, is doing research on Lyme Disease (including a collaborative epidemiological study with the Medical College of Georgia) and other arthropod- and parasite-vectored diseases. The Center for Rural Health and Research explores such issues as the maldistribution of health care providers, the AIDS-risk attitudes and behavior of migrant farm workers, and access to health care among minorities and the rural poor. The Bureau of Public Affairs, which operates the Rural Public Administration Network and the Bureau of Business Research and Economic Development, concentrates its applied research and technical assistance on regional planning and economic development issues. Laser-based research on the optical properties of inert gases and alkali vapors is an emerging strength of the Physics Department. The Geology Department in collaboration with the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is conducting several research projects on coastal and marine resources and challenges. Initial findings from this department's analysis of a locally unearthed 40-million-year-old whale fossil suggest that the whale represents a new genus and species. The implications for evolutionary theory have drawn the attention of paleontologists across the globe. Additional strengths are found in ongoing work on rural atmospheric pollutants, coastal ecological challenges, control of insect pests, threats to the survival of loggerhead turtles and other endangered or threatened species, small business development and exporting opportunities, and the needs of the State's tourism industry.

INSTITUTES AND CENTERS

Both centers and institutes provide an organizational base for research and an opportunity for interdisciplinary activity and involvement in continuing education activities, facilitate efforts to obtain extramural funding, and serve as a link between the academic and professional communities in a given academic area. A center is not an autonomous structure within the organizational structure of the college or university, but an institute may be an autonomous unit. An institute, unlike a center, may offer credit courses and degree programs.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
As part of the mission of the University System, public service and continuing education act as an interface between the 34 institutions and the communities which they serve. Such activities are an extension of the traditional on-campus learning process and have been established to improve the welfare of Georgia's citizens and serve business, industry, government, and professional organizations. The public service/continuing education component consists of the following:
Instructional services--offering primarily non-degree credit work designed for the purpose of upgrading skills or personal development
Applied research--finding pragmatic solutions for identified problems
Consultation--providing expertise for solving problems
Technical assistance--providing support for completing a task
Board policy mandates that each institution will offer a variety of conferences, institutes, short courses, workshops, seminars, and training programs. The principal unit awarded for participation in these non-degree credit activities is the Continuing Education Unit (C. E. U.), defined as "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. "
The C.E. U. is accepted nationally as the unit for measuring participation in non-credit continuing education programs. There are two categories of continuing education activity, and only those individuals who take programs that meet the criteria for Category I may be awarded C.E. U. 's. Activities in Category I must meet administrative criteria, including being a part of an institution with a continuing education staff that has a library with reference resources and program criteria that include specifying outcomes of the learning experience and stating requirements for measurement of goals and completion of the program. Programs in Category II do not meet the criteria for inclusion in Category I but may meet the needs of the community or help satisfy the service mission of the institution. Category II activities are planned educational events of an instructional nature, with individually registered participants. "Continuing Education Activities" include both Category I and Category II programs. The rapid growth that has occurred in this area is displayed below.

PUBLIC SERVICE

Public service activities at University System institutions are diverse. To help facilitate these activities, the following special public service organizations have been established:
Georgia Extension Service
The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service/Fort Valley State College Cooperative Extension Program operates in 159 counties, serving the people of the state through a traditional concept: taking the University to the people. A staff of highly trained specialists in agriculture, home economics, community and rural development, and youth development supports county extension personnel. In concert with client advisors, they identify key issues, develop programs, and carry out their mission of teaching in an informal, out-of-classroom setting.
The Extension Service, along with other state extension services and the UGA College of Agriculture, has identified issues to target in its programs. They include: alternative agricultural opportunities; building human capital; competitiveness and profitability in agriculture; conservation and management of natural resources; family and economic well-being; improving nutrition, diet, and health; revitalizing rural America; water quality; and youth at risk.
Within the context of these national initiatives and The University of Georgia Strategic Plan, the Extension Service has targeted five critical issues for intensified educational emphasis: agricultural profitability and sustainability; water quality; food quality and safety; rural economic development; and parenting education.
Rural Development Center. Tifton
This unit of the Cooperative Extension Service is an outreach service center for The University of Georgia's Cooperative Extension Service. The primary focus is on the development of the economic potential of the state's agriculture. Agricultural specialists housed at the Center are the link between the knowledge of University researchers and the county agent and farmer. The Center also serves as a conference center offering educational programs designed to help provide solutions to identified state and national issues which encompass the College of Agriculture priorities with emphasis on those issues critical to rural revitalization.
Georgia Center for Continuing Education
Georgia Center for Continuing Education plans and implements educational programs in response to the diverse needs of adults throughout Georgia, the nation, and many foreign lands. These needs are expressed individually or through a range of governmental agencies, business and professional organizations, and civic, cultural, and education groups. The center's staff works with University faculty, other experts, and clientele groups to extend the relevant resources of the University to adult learners.
The center delivers a complex, comprehensive educational program through residential conferences and short courses; on-campus and off-campus programs for credit, non-credit, and certification; credit and non-credit audioconferences and teleconferences; independent study; mass media; and National Public Radio. The Georgia Center's electronic classroom provides distance education opportunities to students nationwide. The classroom is equipped to deliver two-way audio and video via digital compression and is connected to the statewide distance learning system, Georgia State Academic and Medical System (GSAMS), which has over 200 receive sites around Georgia.
