Dear Friend of the University System:
The University System of Georgia belongs to the people of Georgia. As such, we believe that it is important for us to share information about the System widely.
In this fifteenth edition of the Information Digest, you will find information on the University System of Georgia and its thirty-four institutions throughout the State. We have included the information that is most often requested. In addition, we have included basic information on retention and graduation, both important as we move forward in meeting the Board of Regents' goals for improvement. We believe that such a broad sharing of objective information is the foundation of accountability. The Board of Regents is dedicated to Creating a More Educated Georgia.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have suggestions for future editions of Information Digest.
Sincerely,

Thomas C. Meredith Chancellor

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Vision, Mission, and Goals Statement
The University System of Georgia will create a more educated Georgia, well prepared for a global, technological society, by providing first-rate undergraduate and graduate education, leading-edge research, and committed public service.
Mission Statement
The mission of the University System of Georgia is to contribute to the educational, cultural, economic, and social advancement of Georgia by providing excellent undergraduate general education and first-rate programs leading to associate, baccalaureate, masters, professional, and doctorate degrees; by pursuing leading-edge basic and applied research, scholarly inquiry, and creative endeavors; and by bringing these intellectual resources, and those of the public libraries, to bear on the economic development of the State and the continuing education of its citizens.
Each institution in the University System of Georgia will be characterized by:
! A supportive campus climate, leadership and development opportunities, and necessary services and facilities to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff;
! Cultural, ethnic, racial, and gender diversity in the faculty, staff, and student body, supported by practices and programs that embody the ideals of an open, democratic, and global society;
! Technology to advance educational purposes, including instructional technology, student support services, and distance education; and
! A commitment to sharing physical, human, information, and other resources in collaboration with other System institutions, the public libraries, state agencies, local schools, and technical colleges to expand and enhance programs and services available to the citizens of Georgia.
Goals Statement
The University System of Georgia will ensure access to academic excellence and educational opportunities for all Georgians by:
1. Developing graduates who are intellectually and ethically informed individuals with defined skills and knowledge, capable of leadership, creative endeavors, and contributing citizenship in an interconnected world;
2. Expanding participation by increasing access while maintaining quality, enhancing diversity, focusing on the needs of nontraditional students, increasing distance education opportunities, advancing public library usage, and marketing the advantages of a postsecondary education to all Georgians;
3. Improving continuously the quality of its curricula, research activities, and international opportunities;
4. Increasing academic productivity through improved recruitment, increased retention, accelerated graduation, expanded credit generation, augmented continuing education opportunities, and current technology;
5. Emphasizing the recruitment, hiring, and retention of the best possible faculty, staff, and administration;
6. Accelerating economic development by providing, when feasible, needed graduates, appropriate academic programs, and expanding marketing of the System and its institutions as an economic asset of the state;
7. Seeking the most efficient, effective, and technologically sound business and service best practices and regularly comparing ourselves to national peers;
8. Providing and maintaining superior facilities, funded by innovative mechanisms which increase the speed with which they are usable;
9. Making University System of Georgia education seamless with K-12, DTAE, and independent colleges;
10. Increasing, diversifying, and strategically allocating funding;
11. Maximizing cooperation with other state agencies, boards, the Office of the Governor, and the General Assembly, while maintaining the constitutional authority of the Board of Regents.
In meeting these goals, 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 and charge its collective intellectual power on behalf of the state.

ENROLLMENT TARGETS
1999-2003
Part of comprehensive planning for the University System of Georgia is strategic enrollment planning. Following are the proposed institutional enrollment targets. For an institution to meet its enrollment target, its enrollment for any given year must remain within the corridor created by 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.

FIRST-TIME FRESHMEN WITH THE HOPE SCHOLARSHIP
Fall 1998 - Fall 2002
Students from Georgia high schools who graduated from a Georgia high school in 1993 or later are eligible for the HOPE Scholarship. That base number (N) of first-time freshmen (FTF) who graduated from Georgia high schools is shown below (it should not be used as a count of all first-time freshmen). HOPE scholars must also meet academic requirements, a 3.0 in core high school courses. The FTF column also includes any additional first-time freshmen receiving HOPE according to GSFC records. The percentage includes those who received the HOPE Scholarship; it does not include HOPE Grant recipients.

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

The Board of Regents issued a policy directive in 1995 to strengthen the international dimensions of teaching, research, and service across the University System. USG institutions have pursued an array of programs and initiatives to achieve the Board's goals. The System Council for International Education, composed of presidential appointees from each of the 34 institutions, is the primary policy advisory board on international issues. Major areas of international activity include:
Study Abroad: Board of Regents policy calls for increased participation in study abroad and exchange programs. The number of USG students studying abroad has increased from 1,662 in 1996 to 3,732 in 2001-2002.
International Students: Board of Regents policy seeks a diverse student body as an important ingredient in improving the education of all learners. Students from around the world attend all USG colleges and universities. The University System enrolled 15,896 students from 191 different countries in Fall 2002.
Curriculum & Instructional Technology: The System's four-year universities offer more than 50 bachelor's degrees and nearly two dozen graduate degrees in international fields. They also offer nearly 50 certificates and degree minors in international areas. The System is engaged in several major initiatives to expand access to foreign language and area studies curricula through internet-based learning.
Foreign Languages: USG institutions offer courses in nearly two dozen modern and classical languages. Enrollments have increased from 17,389 in Fall 1996 to 24,915 in Fall 2002. The College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) requires two Carnegie units of the same foreign language to qualify for undergraduate admission.
Faculty Development: Each year hundreds of USG faculty participate in overseas seminars, research delegations, and teaching programs that strengthen their international expertise and direct knowledge of other countries.

LEARNING SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS

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 testing (430 SATVerbal or 400 SAT-Math or CPC English or CPC Math) and are placed with the CPE or COMPASS at the System level;
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.

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 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.
The following courses are required of students graduating from high school in the last five years who plan to enroll in 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.

Notes: 1. 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 through 800; the possible composite score range is 400 through 1600.
2. Not included are students with missing data on SAT, such as students admitted into programs that do not require SAT scores and those who were admitted based on ACT scores.
3. The Georgia, Nation and USG scores for 1993-95 are recentered on individual scores. Beginning in 1996, University System data were reported on the recentered scale.

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 semester 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 four 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 45 semester 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 when students take the Regents' Test, it is unwise to use the pass rates to compare institutions. Note that statistics for repeaters include each repeat attempt.

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 60 semester credit hours of study divided among six areas of which 42 hours are in general education and 18 in a major area of study. Each institution has developed its Core Curriculum within the broad context of the above plan.

JOINT ENROLLMENT, EARLY ADMISSION PROGRAMS, AND POST-SECONDARY OPTIONS
The University System of Georgia recognizes the need to provide academically talented high school students with opportunities for acceleration of their formal academic programs. This recognition has led to the development of two organized programs: 1) a joint enrollment program in which the student, while continuing his/her enrollment in high school as a junior or senior, enrolls in courses for college credit; and 2) an early admission program in which the student enrolls as a full-time college student following completion of the junior year in high school. Minimum admissions requirements are 1) a minimum combined SAT score of 970 or equivalent ACT scores, 2) a minimum cumulative high school grade point average of 3.0 or a numerical average of 80 or higher in academic subjects, 3) exemption of all Learning Support requirements for early admission, 4) written recommendation from the high school principal or counselor, and 5) written consent of parent or guardian (if the student is a minor). In Fall 2002 2,759 students were enrolled through the joint enrollment program, an increase of 4 percent since 2001.

ADMISSION STANDARDS
MINIMUM ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS 2002
The revised admission policy approved by the Board of Regents in 1996 was implemented in Summer 2001.
Regular admission to programs leading to the baccalaureate degree requires. . .
C Graduation from a high school accredited by a regional accrediting association (such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) or the Georgia Accrediting Commission or from a public school regulated by a school system and state department of education;
C Completion of the SAT or the American College Testing (ACT) Assessment Program; C Completion of sixteen specified CPC units; C A designated score on the freshman Index (FI), which is based on a combination of a student's SAT I or ACT scores and
high school grade point average (HSGPA). The freshman index is:
FI = 500 x (HSGPA) + SAT I Verbal + SAT I Math or
FI = 500 x HSGPA + (ACT Composite x 42) + 88
C A minimum SAT I Verbal score of 430 and Mathematics score of 400 (or ACT equivalent) for admission to a university (research, regional, or state). Admission to a two-year college requires the minimum SAT I Verbal score of 330 and Mathematics score of 310 (or ACT equivalent).
Satisfaction of these minima does not guarantee admission to any University System institution since institutions may establish both higher and additional admissions requirements.

FACULTY BY TENURE STATUS

Corps of Instruction: December 2002

Tenure resides at the institutional level. Only assistant professors, associate professors, and professors who are normally employed fulltime 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. In exceptional circumstances tenure may also be awarded upon appointment. Administrators do not hold tenure in their administrative positions but may be awarded rank and tenure. 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 following data include full-time teaching faculty, research faculty, general administrators, academic administrators, public service faculty, librarians, and counselors who hold Board-approved academic rank; are tenured, on tenure track, or in positions that are not tenure track; and are employed on at least an academic year contract. Instructional faculty are a subset of this group. This table does not include retired faculty receiving benefits, inactive faculty, or part-time faculty.

FULL-TIME FACULTY, PART-TIME INSTRUCTORS, AND OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL PERSONNEL TEACHING FALL 2002

This report categorizes those teaching courses in USG institutions in Fall 2002 into three groups: 1) full-time faculty (FT), i. e, the Corps of Instruction; 2) part-time instructors (PT), including graduate teaching assistants; and 3) other instructional personnel (Other), full-time employees who are not in the Corps of Instruction, but who taught in Fall 2002, and a small number of instructors who are not employed by USG institutions (for example, those employed at a private institution, but teaching in Fall 2002 at a USG institution). The Corps of Instruction was further restricted to those who were teaching at the same institution at which they were employed; thus some faculty teaching via distance education were counted as "other" at the institution where they taught in Fall.

FUNDING FORMULA

The University System operates under a formula funding system developed in 1982 and implemented in the FY1984 budget request. The first full funding of the formula was 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 credit hours, directly or indirectly generates about 87 percent of the total budget. Operation and maintenance costs of the physical plant account for another 11 percent of the budget, and 2 percent is generated through other organized activities. Thus, the formula is student-driven. The workload variables and constants are described below.

I. INSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH

A. Instruction. The formula for instruction is based on credit hours 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, Veterinary Medicine

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

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

TOTAL FUNDING BASE: Sum of A and B (Instruction, Research)
II. ACADEMIC SUPPORT. 17.7 percent X Total Funding Base = Academic Support Expenditures.
III. STUDENT SERVICES AND INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT. 23.1 percent X Total Funding Base = Student Services and Institutional Support Expenditures.
IV. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLANT
Regular Operations. Number of square feet of building space X cost per square foot = Expenditures for Operation and Maintenance of Physical Plant (in FY2002 budget: 36,137,535 square feet at $4.3002 per square foot).
Major Repair/Rehabilitation Fund. 1.00% X Current Replacement Value (FY02 replacement value of $5,425,786,110) = Expenditures for MRR.
Utilities. Number of square feet (as listed above) X cost of utilities per square foot ($1.4517 in FY02)= Expenditures for utilities.

FUNDING FORMULA (Continued)
V. FRINGE BENEFITS. Projected actual needs for benefits such as FICA, health and life insurance, workers' compensation, etc.
Teachers' Retirement. VI. PUBLIC SERVICE AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION. A basic amount is funded for each institution to support a campus coordinator
and one support position. Separately organized institutes are specially funded. Public Service Institutes. Community Education. Funding is based on the number of Continuing Education Units produced times a dollar rate. Campus Coordinators. One professional and one support position per institution. Minority Education Program. VII. TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
TOTAL FORMULA REQUIREMENT: Total of all above expenditures (sum of I through VII) LESS REVENUE Student Tuition and Fees. Generally set at 25% of the total requirement, excluding Public Service and Community Education, Research, MRR, and Desegregation Programs. Graduate Assistant Fee Reduction. Other Revenue.
STATE APPROPRIATION REQUEST = Total Formula Requirement Minus Revenue

STUDENT TUITION FY2003

Tuition is payment required for credit-based instruction and related services and is charged to all students. Tuition for both undergraduate and graduate students is charged at the full rate for students enrolled for 12 credit hours or more and at a per credit hour rate for students enrolled for fewer than 12 credit hours. Distance education courses may be charged on a per credit hour basis. In-state tuition is paid by Georgia residents at about 25 percent of the total General Operations revenue in the Resident Instruction Budget; outof-state residents pay at a rate that is at least four times the tuition rate charged to Georgia residents. The tuition rate for all University System graduate programs is at least 20 percent higher than the base tuition rate for undergraduate programs. Tuition rates for all University System of Georgia institutions and programs must be approved annually by the Board of Regents. The Board has approved differential tuition rates for nationally competitive graduate and professional programs.

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 uses 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 renovation (MRR) projects are used by the Office of Facilities in administering the annual appropriation to the Major Repair and Renovation Fund (MRRF), an element of the Regents' funding formula.
While the larger facilities constructed are typically 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).

Notes: The classification code indicates how the various rooms within a building were used (e.g., faculty office space) as opposed to the major function of the building (e.g., residence hall facility, instructional classroom facility). Academic -- instruction (classrooms, laboratories, faculty offices), research, public service, cooperative extension, libraries, computing support, ancillary support. Administrative -- executive management, administrative services, fiscal operations, physical plant operations, community relations. Faculty and Student Support -- faculty and staff services (faculty clubs, lounges, cafeterias) and student support (health services, student centers, cafeterias). Campus Housing -- faculty and student housing. Other -- unassigned space (capable and incapable of use); building service (closets, stairwells); independent operations (rental property for commercial uses and outside agencies); and parking garages.

MAJOR REPAIR AND REHABILITATION ALLOCATIONS

1997 - 2002

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 renovation, the Committee recommended that the appropriation be set at three-fourths 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. In recent years, the Board of Regents has requested the State to increase the percentage of the replacement value funded to more closely reflect national recommendations.

Allocations have been used for such projects as reroofing or roof replacement, repairing/replacing boilers and chillers, upgrading electrical and other infrastructure systems, providing access for the disabled, bringing buildings up to life safety code, and the removal of hazardous materials in buildings of the University System.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Research 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 research universities. In addition, 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 it operates an Agricultural Research Station at Fort Valley. Research programs carried out in the universities had a total extramural support in FY2002 of $771 million, of which $476 million was for research and $241 million for instruction and public service grants. 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. Signal processing, tribology, acoustics, fusion, combustion, rotary wing aircraft, and work on energy conservation and applications are also important areas, as are domestic and international economic development, computer technology and applications, mechanics, and the fields of biological, physical, chemical, material, earth, atmospheric, and social sciences. To assist with the State's economic development, Georgia Tech maintains field offices in Albany, Augusta, Brunswick, Carrollton, Columbus, Douglas, Dublin, Gainesville, Macon, Madison, Rome, Savannah and Warner Robins. Research is also being conducted at various locations throughout the nation and the world. Extramural support for FY2002 was $279 million, of which $255 million was for research.
GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY
Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, Georgia State University (GSU) is a leading research university with a wide range of extramural research programs in each of its six colleges. In addition to a broad agenda of programs that have national prominence, a number of the research programs play a significant role in supporting the growth of both the economy and technology of Georgia. Some of the research projects include the development of biotechnology and drug design, brain sciences and health, digital arts, computer design, both biological and policy research of the environment, high angular resolution astronomy, media education, brain-computer interface, and neural communication and computation. Policy research includes water planning and policy, applied research for addressing national and local policy issues, Georgia health policy, evaluation of state and local fiscal and economic policy, and international studies in which GSU faculty work in over 30 foreign countries. Various research programs in the areas of learning and development, teacher education, educational policy, adult learning and community outreach provide a strong link between GSU and the K-12 system in Georgia. Research in the field of business-to-business marketing, development of models related to national, regional and local economies, and international business training and skills development benefit from the longterm relationships that GSU has developed with national and international business communities. Innovative cross-college teacher preparation programs, including the Biobus, serve as national models for education reform. Applied research to reduce health risks includes the study of victim empowerment issues, current substance abuse treatment strategies, the Georgia Fatherhood Program, and the influence of nursing care on patient outcomes in U.S. Army hospitals. Georgia State University extramural support for FY2002 was $57 million, of which $32 million was for research.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Research Universities (Continued)
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA
Extramurally funded research programs are disease oriented and are carried out in both basic and clinical disciplines in the five schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Allied Health Sciences, and Graduate Studies. Institutes which focus on specific research disciplines are the Georgia Institute for Prevention of Human Disease and Accidents, the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Genetics, and the Vascular Biology Center. A special initiative involves the research and development of telecommunications in health care delivery known as Telemedicine. There is an Alzheimer's program to develop and test new drugs and agents for improving memory. A specialized Heart Development Group carries out research on the origin and molecular biology of congenital heart defects. Significant priorities in research are: cancer, neurological disease, (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, stem cell research), cardiovascular diseases (stroke, Sickle cell disease, hypertension, heart development), and infection/inflammation research. Much of this research is translation (i.e., bench to bedside). There is considerable focus on research relating to children's diseases and health services research that includes minority and women's health. Applied and basic research places emphasis on the development of new intellectual properties, biotechnology and technology transfer. The latter is focused on the economic growth of the State and involves consortia with other universities including the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA). Sponsored awards for FY2002 was $177 million, of which $50 million was for research.
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 inputefficient 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 FY2002 was $205 million, of which $139 million was for research.

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 requires that each institution 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 consistent growth that has occurred in this area is displayed below.

PUBLIC SERVICE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The University System of Georgia's public service programs have a rich history of contributing to Georgia's economic development. First, the University System's agricultural extension services lifted Georgia's agrarian economy out of the Great Depression. Later, Georgia Tech's Economic Development Institute brought Industrial Age technology to Georgia's manufacturers. Today, University System outreach programs are developing a knowledge workforce that creates and uses intellectual technology for the knowledge economy of tomorrow.
The University System of Georgia's Public Service efforts include:
Economic Development Institute
EDI offers an array of services with a common objective: to grow Georgia through technology-driven solutions. Whether the goal is attracting new companies to Georgia, expanding existing enterprises, providing technical expertise to help Georgia's businesses become more competitive, or helping communities plan for growth, EDI helps keep the state's economy moving forward. For nearly 40 years, EDI has assisted companies improve productivity and quality, reduce costs, plan expansions, start new operations, and implement proven manufacturing technologies. Each year EDI provides technology assistance to 1,300 companies through 17 regional offices across Georgia.
As part of Georgia's economic development team for prospective or expanding businesses, Georgia Tech helped attract more than $14.5 million in new capital investment and helped create or save 557 jobs statewide during 2002.
Advanced Technology Development Center
The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) helps Georgia entrepreneurs launch and build successful technology companies. Since 1983, ATDC's assistance has helped establish more than 100 new high-technology companies. These companies generated $684 million in revenues and provided more than 4,900 jobs during 2002. In that same year, ATDC member companies attracted $94 million in investment from venture capital, mergers & acquisitions, and angel investors.
ATDC has five business center locations, with another location scheduled to open soon: ATDC at 10th Street (Atlanta) ATDC at Warner Robins ATDC at GCATT (Atlanta) ATDC at Savannah Environmental Science & Technology (Atlanta) ATDC at 5th Street (Atlanta) - opening August 2003, will replace ATDC at 10th Street
Small Business Development Center
Through the University of Georgia's Small Business Development Center (SBDC) program, businesses can receive free one-on-one counseling from experienced business professionals. SBDC also offers seminars, workshops, export assistance, on-site training, and publications.
During 2002, the SBDC consulted with 5,210 business owners and prospective entrepreneurs in 19 centers around the state. The SBDC also helped 319 Georgia companies acquire more than $54 million in expansion capital. In addition, 12,820 people attended 955 SBDCsponsored programs on starting and expanding small businesses.
ICAPP
As the economic development program of the University System of Georgia, ICAPP was created in 1995 by the Board of Regents to use the resources of Georgia's 34 public colleges and universities to improve Georgia's economy. Georgia businesses can contact ICAPP to tap into one of the nation's largest university systems for:
college-educated employees access to the latest research access to commercialization opportunities business and operations advice
For example, GeorgiaHire.com is a free recruiting tool that matches employers with the college-educated employees that they need. ICAPP Advantage provides customized, expedited education for highly skilled employees in high demand but short supply. Businesses can search more than 200 entries in the Web-based ICAPP Catalog of University System of Georgia Centers, Institutes and Special Programs to find expertise in a wide range of subjects.

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 Fall 1933. 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, two state colleges, and 13 two-year colleges). In addition, one state college, two two-year colleges, and one state university maintain a postsecondary vocational-technical unit in cooperation with the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.
