Pay Raises Continued from Front Cover
nonresident tuition will be rounded to the closest fulldollar amounts by the adjustments
All actions of the Board at the special meeting called expressly to deal with financial matters were recommended by Chancellor George L Simpson Jr who reported that the proposals had received prior endorsement by the Finance and Business Operations Committee of the Board
In reviewing the legislative adjustments in the University Systems state appropriation Chancellor Simpson expressed appreciation to Governor George Busbee and members of the General Assembly for limiting the net reduction to the one approved This amount is less than the Board of Regents once had anticipated
In December the projected approximate amount of reduction from the University Systems appropriation was 9 million called for by Governor Busbee to help solve a state governmentwide financial crisis that has persisted throughout the 197576 fiscal year Soon after the 1976 session of the General Assembly convened in midJanuary the governor recommended a smaller net reduction essentially the one that was approved in the 197576 supplemental appropriation bill
The University System will have some rough sledding for the rest of the 197576 fiscal year ending June 30 Chancellor Simpson said I think however that we will be able to come through this crisis and make progress and come out ahead he added He was referring to the effects of net cuts totaling 24132175 from the Systems 197576 state appropriation 18529995 in July and 5602180 in January all part of the state governmentwide reduction of appropriations to match lessthananticipated state revenue collections
A detailed study of possible ways to restructure budgets of University System institutions and programs to adjust to the financial squeeze including restoration of the pay raises has been under way since December the chancellor reminded While not every institution will be happy with the results we have done as detailed a job as was possible he said The situation rests somewhat heavier on some institutions
RESTORED PAY RAISES
The restored pay raises total 11510000 This amount includes 803000 in state contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System
The raises budgeted for the period of September 1 1975June 30 1976 will average 5 percent on an annual 12month basis Each increase is based on the recipients merit as determined within each institution or program
Payments of the retroactive raise money are to be made as expeditiously as possible but in no event later than February 29 according to letters sent from the office of the Board of Regents to presidents and heads of programs A memorandum setting forth guidelines for all aspects of the retroactive pay raises was sent with the letters
The provisions of the guidelines in part are
Each person whose name appears in the original 197576 fiscal year budget in a budgeted position and who is still in that position is to receive the exact amount budgeted for that position All benefits to which that person is due as a result of the higher pay are to be met Those persons who terminated

after September 1 for whatever reason retirement voluntary separation death etc are due the retroactive wage payment and a reasonable effort must be made to deliver payment of the amount due
Persons promoted from one budgeted position to a higherpaid budgeted position are to receive NO LESS THAN the amount originally budgeted for the individual Employees in positions other than lineitem positions are to receive the amount committed to them and if promoted are to receive NO LESS THAN the amount committed to them New hires are to receive the amount agreed upon as a condition of employment and are due no further increase
Institutional discretion may determine that a promoted employee is to receive the salary increment budgeted for the higher position It is suggested that in these cases documentary evidence be secured indicating that some commitment of the increase was made as a condition of the promotion
Also included in the guidelines are instructions on payroll mechanics and on eligibility of certain employees to receive additional overtime compensation elaborative information on pay raises for retired former employees and beneficiaries of deceased former employees and definition of reasonable effort to locate terminated former employees
The pay raises initially authorized by the Board of Regents in June to become effective on September 1 were rescinded by the Board in July The rescission followed and was attributed to a reduction of the University Systems 197576 state appropriation by 18529995 by a special session of the General Assembly
In a suit for a declaratory judgment filed by the Georgia Conference of the American Association of University Professors et at on behalf of certain faculty members at institutions of the University System seeking adjudication that certain employment contracts entered into by the Board of Regents were valid and binding a Fulton Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the faculty members in October The ruling was affirmed by the Georgia Supreme Court in December
The court ruling deals with only those raises specified in written and signed contracts for academic personnel totaling 3873750 The Board of Regents indicated however shortly after the Supreme Courts affirmation of the Superior Courts ruling that it would pay ail of the originally approved raises
The majority of the funds required to implement the pay raises will have to be obtained by the institutions and programs by reductions made in money previously budgeted for other operations An exception is Fort Valley State College to which the Board of Regents at the meeting on January 27 made a special allocation of 185000 from the state appropriation to be used primarily to make the pay raises This special allocation included in a total net increase of 225100 in state appropriation allocations approved for the institution at the special meeting is necessary because of a Fort Valley State emergency including enrollment markedly lower than anticipated and other extraordinary problems the Regents were told
The only major new funds that are expected to become available to the institutions for the remainder of the 197576
fiscal year are the student fee increases authorized by the Board of Regents in January In restoring the pay raises at the special meeting on January 27 the Board stipulated that each institution will be allowed to keep its own student fee increases to apply toward its own pay raises
The student fee increases are projected to produce 1621879 during the 197576 fiscal year They will become effective at the beginning of the spring quarter the final quarter of the 197576 fiscal year All of these increases will be collected by the teaching institutions at which 8844517 or 826 percent of the total of University System pay raises 10707000 exclusive of state contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System will be made during the fiscal year
The fee increases will finance 183 percent of the pay raises at the teaching institutions
All state contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System for University System personnel are budgeted in Other Programs and are made from a central fund in the office of the Board of Regents
ADJUSTMENTS IN STATE APPROPRIATION
The most recent legislative adjustments in the University Systems 197576 state appropriation made by the 1976 session of the General Assembly and reviewed by the Board of Regents on January 27 reduced the appropriation to 265266157 The net reduction of 5602180 from 270868337 reflected increases totaling 1103603 and decreases totaling 6705783
The increases were made up of 340000 for University System operations all in Other Programs all programs besides Resident Instruction teaching institutions and 763603 in grants for DeKalb Community College a twoyear institution that is not a unit of the University System DeKalb Community College a unit of the DeKalb County Board of Education traditionally receives its legislatively earmarked state appropriation as a part of the University Systems overall state appropriation The increase for the University System is designated for use in the state contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System
The decreases included 19310 from Resident Instruction reserve and 6686473 from Other Programs Most of the decreases consisted of 6460409 from capital outlay and bond funds
Extensive adjustments of the revised state appropriation were made by the Board of Regents at the January 27 meeting Those actions which were limited to offsetting increases and decreases because there was no net addition to the state appropriation included transfers within Resident Instruction and from Resident Instruction to Other Programs Included in these adjustments are increases totaling 707500 and decreases totaling 1920833 in Resident Instruction and increases totaling 1213333 in Other Programs Adjustments were made for all teaching institutions in Resident Instruction and for most of the budget units in Other Programs
The University Systems revised state appropriation of 265266157 for 197576 reduced from the original amount of 289398332 for this year compares with the Systems state appropriation of 261275030 for 197475

Health Benefits Continued from Front Cover
increases will be from 14 per month per employee to 2240 or to the actual cost of the employees health benefits coverage at the highest option available under his present program whichever is the smaller amount he said
Employees and their dependents at 29 of the University Systems 32 institutions have health benefits coverage under the Board of Regents Employee Health Benefits Fund according to Mr Wamsley The three institutions that at their choice arrange other programs of health benefits coverage for employees and their dependents are the Medical College of Georgia the University of Georgia and Augusta College he said
Studies indicate that an increase of approximately 60 percent in the contribution rate to the Board of Regents Employee Health Benefits Fund is necessary to provide for the rapidly increasing cost of providing this benefit the Regents were told at the March meeting For the past several months contributions to this Fund have averaged 295000 per month while claims have averaged 393000 per month It is anticipated that medical costs will continue to rise at the rate of approximately 2 percent per month for the foreseeable future The 60 percent increase in rate recommended is based on these facts and these assumptions A projection reveals that any lesser increase at this time would probably result in the need for a further increase in rate before the end of the 1976 calendar year in order to maintain the financial stability of the Fund
The life insurance program for University System employees and their dependents was not affected by the Marchauthorized adjustments in the cost of health benefits coverage In the life insurance program the University System pays the full cost of basic coverage and employees pay the full cost of all supplemental coverage they elect to have up to prescribed maximums employees pay the full cost of their dependents coverage

FOURYEAR STATUS VOTED FOR COLLEGE AT MARIETTA
AMONG THE ARTICLES INSIDE
Fouryear seniorcollege status for Kennesaw Junior College to become effective in the 1978 fall quarter was authorized by the Board of Regents at the April 14 meeting
Kennesaw Junior College located in the Marietta area in Cobb County has operated as a twoyear nonresidential institution ever since it opened in the 1966 fall quarter The Regents action authorizing fouryear status did not include any provision for altering the nonresidential status y
The Regents stipulated that the action authorizing the con i version is to be reported to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW for review The purpose of such review would be to determine whether the conversion is in compliance with the Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia a document submitted by the Board of Regents and approved by HEW in the summer of 1974 The plan required by H EW commits the Board of Regents and the University System to a wide variety of desegregation actions including analysis of impact on desegregation of major changes within the System
Associate Vice Chancellor John W Hooper told the Board that HEW had been advised by telephone and by letter that the proposal to convert Kennesaw would be on the April 14 meeting agenda but that the agency had not substantively responded to that notice
The motion to grant the fouryear status was made by Regent James D Maddox Rome Initially providing for the conversion to become effective in the 1977 fall quarter it was amended at the will of Regent Maddox after some discussion by Board members to propose that the change of status become effective in the 1978 fall quarter The motion passed approximately two hours after it was introduced with dissenting votes from two of the fourteen Regents present
Defeat of Substitute Motion
A substitute motion by Regent Milton Jones Columbus to delay the vote on the Maddox motion until April 1977 for information on future state appropriations to the University System and for further study of the impact the conversion of Kennesaw would have on the entire System was defeated
A delegation of legislators and other citizens from MariettaCobb County and the Kennesaw Junior College service area attended the meeting Delegations from the area had appeared before the Board on two other occasions during

The state appropriation of 202590392 for Resident Instruction Operations at teaching institutions in the University System of Georgia for the 197677 fiscal year was allocated by the Board of Regents at the April 14 meeting
These allocations total 18189360 or 99 percent more than the total finally revised allocations of 184401032 for Resident Instruction Operations at the teaching institutions in the System for the 197576 fiscal year
The total state appropriation for the University System for the 197677 fiscal year is 287953292 This amount included in the General Appropriations Bill passed by the 1976 General Assembly and signed by Governor George Busbee is 22687135 or 86 percent more than the finally revised state appropriation for the System of 265266157 for the 197576 fiscal year
The money appropriated for Other Programs everything besides Resident Instruction Operations was earmarked by the General Assembly It totals 85362900 for the 197677 fiscal year compared with the finally revised total of 80865125 for the 197576 fiscal year
The appropriation provides money for salaries and wages for academic and nonacademic personnel at the same levels in the 197677 fiscal year as those presently in effect for the 197576 fiscal year Each institution has been authorized by the Board of Regents office however to propose pay raises under restrictive conditions for some employees if funds for such increases can be found See Page 2
While the state appropriation for 197677 is higher than the finally revised appropriation for 197576 it is 1445040 less than the original appropriation for 197576 In two rounds of

Board Allows Discontinuance Of Two Programs at Clayton
Discontinuance of two degree programs establishment of a new department and changing of the name of a department at three University System institutions were authorized by the Board of Regents at the April 14 meeting
Clayton Junior College received approval to discontinue offering the Associate of Arts degree programs in recreation and medical administration effective beginning on July 1 1976
The program in recreation which was approved by the Board of Regents in February 1972 has attracted few students in its first few years and has been temporarily deactivated since the summer of 1974 according to an agenda item requesting the Regents action Although this program was developed with the assistance and encouragement of a representative advisory committee employment opportunities for graduates of the program did not become available in the metropolitan area of Atlanta the agenda item also indicated
The program in medical administration which was approved by the Board in March 1972 has graduated only one student and has enrolled no students during the current year Although there was an apparent need for this program in 1972 the college has never been able to generate any significant interest on the part of the students the Regents were told
Georgia Southern College received approval to establish a Department of Special Studies effective beginning in the 1976 summer quarter
The creation of this department meets a Board of Regents requirement that each University System institution operate a separate unit for administering of its special studies developmental remedial program Georgia Southern College heretofore has administered its special studies activities informally under the office of the dean of students the Regents were told
Georgia College was given approval to change the name of the Department of Biology to the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences effective beginning on July 1 1976
The newly approved name which was requested because the nature of the academic interests in the Department of Biology has broadened in the last few years to encompass topics and problems in the environmental sciences will be helpful to students advisors and counselors in identifying such courses the Regents were told
An external evaluation team that was requested to study the biological sciences in Georgia College during 1975 recommended that the environmental sciences be identified more readily in the name of the Department of Biology the Regents were also told
May Meeting in Atlanta
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has scheduled its next regular monthly meeting for May 12 The meeting will be held at the Boards office 244 Washington Street SW Atlanta
SOME PAY RAISES MAY BE APPROVED
The state appropriation for the University System for the 197677 fiscal year does not include any money for raising employees pay during the year Each institution has been authorized by the Board of Regents office however to pro pose pay raises for some personnel under restrictive conditions
The main conditions according to John W Hooper associate vice chancellor and Shealy E McCoy vice chancellorfiscal affairs and treasurer are
The average pay at each institution may not be higher for the 197677 fiscal year than it is for the 197576 fiscal year
Higher pay may be allowed only for promotions higher i degrees earned and retention of critical personnel
Full justification must be given in writing for review by the Regents office for each pay raise proposed
Funds for pay raises granted at each institution must be generated by that institution within the total funds available to it from the state appropriation and internal income for budgeting
These conditions were conveyed to the presidents in re 1 cent budget conferences in the Regents office
The authorization for the raises under these conditions is a businessasusual procedure and is in accord with the general operating mode Dr Hooper said This year in which no salary increase funds were provided by the Uegislature a special need is present as a result of the unusual problems produced by the critical financial squeeze in 197576 he added
Pay raises averaging 5 percent University Systemwide for academic and nonacademic personnel for the 197576 fiscal year effective from last September 1 were provided primarily through reductions in funds initially budgeted for purposes other than salaries and wages The University Systems state appropriation for 197576 was reduced by 24132175 in operations and capital outlay in a state 1 governmentwide cut of appropriations in an extended fiscal crisis
The major way in which institutions may be able to generate funds for the raises in 197677 is through rebudgeting of some funds resulting from resignations retirements and other personnel changes Mr McCoy said For example he explained money saved in hiring a replacement employee at a salary lower than that of the employee who vacated the position may be used to apply toward raising the pay of employees in other positions

The System Summary
REGENTS MEETING
April
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia held a regular monthly meeting at the Boards office in Atlanta on April 14
Approval was given to amendments to the statutes of West Georgia College as requested by West Georgia President Maurice K Townsend
The amendments were approved by the West Georgia Faculty Senate on February 6 1976 They were subsequently reviewed and approved by appropriate staff members of the Board of Regents prior to being presented to the Board for action
Authorization was given for the establishment of The Zachry Scholarship Fund at the Georgia Institute of Technology
The fund will be established in accordance with the wishes of Edmund B Zachry deceased who bequeathed onehalf of the residue of his estate to the Board of Regents to establish an endowment fund from which to provide scholarship assistance for students of Georgia Institute of Technology according to information presented to the Regents
The Regents in September 1975 officially accepted the bequest of Mr Zachry under the conditions imposed by his will The April action broadens and explains the earlier action of the Board and in addition provides for the fiscal management of the fund at the Georgia Institute of Technology the information continued
The fund which is currently valued at 201841 will be administered scrupulously in accordance with Mr Zachrys wishes the Regents were advised
Authorization was given for an increase from five to seven in the quota of waivers of nonresident tuition fees for foreign students at Southern Technical Institute fouryear division of the Georgia Institute of Technology
According to GeorgiaTech President Joseph M Pettit the student body at Southern Tech has grown by 50 percent and the number of international students enrolled there has nearly doubled since the present quota of five students was approved the Regents were told in April
According to a policy of the Board of Regents the waiver of nonresident tuition fees for foreign students attending units of the University System under the financial sponsorship of civic or religious groups located in the state is permitted provided the number of such waivers at the unit to be attended does not exceed that units quota determined by the Board A quota remains in effect from year to year unless it is amended
Authorization was given for the establishment of a quota of waivers of nonresident tuition fees for two foreign students sponsored by civic or religious groups located in the state to attend Bainbridge Junior College
This action establishes the initial quota for Bainbridge Junior College
Authorization was given for Radio Station WGST of the Meredith Corporation to remain in its present studio location
on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology rentfree through June 30 1976
The Board of Regents on November 12 1974 sold the station to Meredith for 5 million A provision of the sale agreement permitted Meredith to continue to occupy and use the premises housing the station for a period of 12 months from the date of the sale for the purpose of removing the stations assets therefrom Meredith was granted a sixmonth extension expiring on May 12 1976 with approval of the Board of Regents WGST Committee and has requested an additional sixweek extension of time in which to vacate the studio property according to an agenda item for the Regents April meeting
Georgia Tech President Joseph M Pettit recommended the sixweek extension and stated that continued occupancy by WGST will not interfere with campus space utilization for that short period of time the Regents were advised
Authorization was given for the execution of a lease agreement providing for the use by Georgia State University of space in the Title Building known as 30 Pryor Street SW Atlanta
This agreement is between the Regents on behalf of Georgia State and Marcus K Taylor Justin M Golenbock and Sylvan A Makover Trustees acting by and through their authorized agent ABE Inc It provides for the rental of 33583 square feet of floor space including the eighth and ninth floors and part of the seventh floor for a period of one year beginning on July 1 1976 at a monthly rental of 14637 with option to renew for four years
This agreement will replace at a lower rental rate two present leases expiring on June 30 1976 for approximately the same amount of space in the 10 Pryor Street Building for use by Georgia State University faculty and related staff members The space to be occupied under the new agreement will provide other advantages over the space to be vacated and there will be no diminution of campus proximity according to Georgia State President Noah Langdale the Regents were told The new landlord will pay relocation expense the Regents were also advised

Authorization was given for the execution of condemnation proceedings to be filed for the acquisition of property located at 915 South Macon Street and 919 South Macon Street Fort Valley that is needed for use by Fort Valley State College
Also the Regents voted to rescind their January 14 1976 action authorizing the purchase of this property owned by the estate of Eula Pearl Miller deceased
The executor of the estate of the deceased owner of this property had verbally agreed to sell these two pieces of property to the Board of Regents at the average of three appraisals the Regents were told However one of the heirs of the deceased now refuses to sell at the average of the three appraisals making it necessary to condemn
A provision of the Regents April action authorizes the purchase of these two pieces of property in the event the owner elects to sell to the Board of Regents at the average of three appraisals or less The average appraisal value is 8533 for the property located at 915 South Macon Street and is 717 for the property located at 919 South Macon Street
Approval was given to rules and regulations governing the Sewer Collection System for the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography

FourYear Status Continued from Front Cover
the past three years in October 1973 and in March 1975 to urge the Board to authorize the conversion of the college
Arguments of Proponents
Proponents of the conversion argued that affirmative action of the Board would be justified by several major characteristics of the Kennesaw Junior College area and of the college They said
Cobb County is Georgias third largest county in population and it and other sections of the Kennesaw college area are presently adding population
There is not presently any University System senior college in the Kennesaw area or anywhere else in the Seventh District of northwest Georgia in which Kennesaw is located
There is strong community support for Kennesaw
Some of the funds included in the 197576 and 197677 state appropriations to the University System were provided with legislative intent that they be used for the conversion of Kennesaw to fouryear status
There is a large reservoir of residents of the area who would enroll in a senior college in the area as evidenced in part by the enrollment of more than 3000 students in the freshman and sophomore classes at Kennesaw at the beginning of the 197576 academic year
The quality of faculty and other personnel and of academic programs at the college is high
Supportive SemiFormal Statements
Two members of the delegation at the April 14 meeting made semiformal statements to the Board in support of the conversion
Robert T Garrison Marietta retired business executive and chairman of an area committee formed several years ago to seek fouryear status for Kennesaw was the leadoff spokesman Students and potential students in sufficient number to justify the operation of a senior college presently reside in the Kennesaw college commuting area and the number is increasing he said We ask that you put the colleges where the students are he told the Board
Al Burruss Marietta speaker pro tern of the Georgia House of Representatives said there is a critical need in the Seventh District for a senior college Many of the twoyear graduates who wish to attend senior college are unable for various reasons to go to a college outside their commuting area he said We need this senior college next fall he declared We dont need to wait til 1977 or 1978
Opposition Reservations
Members of the Board of Regents opposing approval of the Maddox motion or otherwise expressing reservations about the proposal advanced several arguments to back their views They contended
There is need for additional study and consideration of the impact the conversion of Kennesaw would have on enrollment financing and other aspects of operations of other individual institutions of the University System and on the Systemwide desegregation plan
Annual allocations of state appropriations for operations are higher for senior colleges than for junior colleges and
18
The System Summary
there is too much of a financial crisis now to get into that The additional cost of operations and of capital outlay for Kennesaw college with fouryear status would be substantially more than the amount of additional funds in sight from state appropriations and student fees and other internal income
For more than a decade the Board has maintained a stance against changing twoyear colleges to fouryear institutions and the conversion of Kennesaw would constitute a departure in planning that might obligate the Board to consider converting other junior colleges to senior colleges
Major Sources of Data
1 n their deliberations Board members referred to data from two major sources a booklet prepared by Kennesaw Junior College and distributed several days in advance of the meeting and a report prepared by the Boards staff and presented at the meeting by Associate Vice Chancellor Hooper The booklet and Dr Hoopers report provided data on student enrollment and transfer patterns faculty population finance existing public and private institutions of higher education and other matters considered to have a major bearing on the conversion of Kennesaw to fouryear status
Chancellor Simpsons Review
Chancellor George L Simpson Jr reviewed the historical relationship between the junior colleges and the senior colleges and universities of the University System Ever since the early 1960s he reminded the Board of Regents has held to the concept of developing and maintaining a substantial number of geographically dispersed junior colleges at which the first two years of college work are provided and from which the senior colleges and universities draw many of their upperdivision students
The chancellor devoted special attention to the relationship between the junior colleges and the other institutions of higher education in the Atlanta metropolitan area in which Kennesaw Junior College is located The University System has developed one junior college in each of three quadrants of
2026 Million Continued from Front Cover
cuts by the General Assembly the 197576 original amount of 289398332 was reduced by 24132175 to 265266157
The cuts were made in a special session in JuneJuly 1975 and in the regular session in JanuaryMarch 1976 They were included in a reduction of originally approved 197576 state appropriations throughout state government in the face of lessthananticipated state revenue collections Governor Busbee requested adjustments of the appropriations to preserve fiscal soundness of the state government
Resident Instruction Operations
The state appropriation allocations for the 197677 fiscal year for Resident Instruction Operations with comparisons with finally revised allocations for the 197576 fiscal year for the same purpose are
Georgia Institute of Technology 20037500 for 197677 up 1758100 from 18279400 for 197576 Southern Technical Institute fouryear division of the Georgia Institute of Technology 2241800 up 226300 from 2015500 Georgia State University 29621800 up
the Atlanta area and DeKalb County has opened a junior college in the other quadrant of the area he summarized The University System twoyear institutions are Kennesaw Junior College north opened in 1966 Clayton Junior College south opened in 1969 and Atlanta Junior College west opened in 1974 The DeKalb County twoyear institution is DeKalb Community College east opened in 1964 the only nonUniversity System public institution of higher education in Georgia
The chancellor stressed the value of this pattern and the serious implications of changing it
Throughout the development of the System the Atlanta area institutions offering comprehensive academic programs beyond the twoyear level have been held to the heart of the area Chancellor Simpson also summarized Georgia State University is located in the center of downtown Atlanta Georgia Institute of Technology is located in the fringe of downtown Atlanta
The chancellor stated that the University System does not fully serve the counties of north Georgia with senior college facilities The only System senior college in that area is North Georgia College he noted North Georgia College located at Dahlonega in the northeast Georgia mountains is a special type of college military college also offering a wide variety of nonmilitary programs and is difficult for commuters from any substantial distance to get to he added

Board Votes Revised Policy For Student Classification
A revision in the Board of Regents policy pertaining to the classification of students as residents and nonresidents in the University System of Georgia was approved by the Board at the May 12 meeting
The text of the revised policy provision under Section J 9 of the Policies of the Board of Regents is
C A fulltime employee of the University System and his or her spouse and dependent children may register on the payment of resident fees
The text of the policy provision that will be superseded is
C A fulltime faculty member of the University System and his or her spouse and dependent children may register on the payment of resident fees even though he or she has not been a legal resident of Georgia for the preceding twelve months
The revised policy provision approved to become effective on July 1 1976 was requested because it has become obvious that the present language is discriminatory in that it provides a fringe benefit for one class of employee of the University System while denying it to other classes of employees a report to the Regents indicated
SalaryContingency Provision Under Study by Committee
A recently adopted amendment to the University System of Georgia faculty employment contract containing a salarycontingency provision was placed before the Board of Regents at the May 12 meeting for reconsideration It was then referred for study by a special committee
This amendment adds a provision making the amounts of contract salaries contingent upon the level of state appropriations for personal services
The Boards Committee on Education in its regularly scheduled meeting prior to the main business session of the full Board recommended that the salarycontingency provision of the amendment be deleted effective beginning with the issuance of 197778 faculty employment contracts After that recommendation was presented to the full Board and following a moderate amount of pro and con discussion the matter was referred to a special committee of Regents and Regents
staff members appointed by Board Chairman Charles A Harris
A report by the special committee is scheduled to be made to the Board at the June 9 Board meeting
Adopted by the Board of Regents in February 1976 on the recommendation of the Boards Committee on Finance and Business Operations the amendment containing the salary

CHILDFAMILY DOCTORATE IS AMONG NEW PROGRAMS
Eight new degree and major programs including two programs at the graduate degree level for five University System institutions were approved by the Board of Regents at the May 12 meeting
Establishment of a new department at North Georgia College was also approved at the same meeting
New Degree and Major Programs
The University of Georgia was given approval to offer a program in child and family development within the School of Home Economics under the existing Doctor of Philosophy degree effective beginning as early as September 1976
This new doctoral program is designed to prepare professionals to produce the necessary knowledge essential for enhancing the quality of child and family life according to a lengthy agenda item supporting approval of the proposed offering In addition to being reviewed by several distinguished consultants the proposed program was thoroughly reviewed at several levels of administrative responsibility at the U niversity of Georgia and bears the unreserved endorsement of President Fred C Davison
Among the other representations in the agenda item
A number of recent publications of repute have addressed the need for doctorallevel professionals in child and family development
During the past two years the Department of Child and Family Development at the University of Georgia received from throughout the United States over 80 requests for applicants with the PhD degree to fill vacant or new positions
The program will have no significant effect on the continuing desegregation of the University of Georgia
Valdosta State College received approval to implement a major in early childhood education under the institutions existing Master of Education degree program effective beginning as early as summer quarter 1976
This program is designed to provide graduate preparation for kindergarten and early elementary grade school teachers in the Valdosta State College area according to the agenda material requesting the Regents approval Valdosta State College has an undergraduate program in early childhood education that has prepared over 200 teachers and many of them are now interested in pursuing a masters degree
The supportive material also indicated
The enrollment in the newly approved program is expected to be 60 78 and 100 in the first three years
It is anticipated that black students will account for 20 percent initially and for 25 percent by the 1978 fall quarter of the total enrollment in the newly approved program whereas black students constituted 182 percent of total graduatelevel enrollment at Valdosta State College in the 1975 summer quarter
Fort Valley State College was given approval to offer the Associate in Animal Health degree program effective beginning as early as summer quarter 1976
The program is designed to provide the academic training needed by animal health technicians who will serve as assistants to practicing veterinarians or as animal health assistants
The System Summary
in laboratories for biomedical research It will be offered with the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine as a coparticipant
Development of this program has had the support of the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association the Regents were told in agenda material supporting the request for approval of the new offering
The material supportive of the Fort Valley State program also indicated that
A report of the National Academy of Sciences has estimated that the need for animal health technicians in the nation will be approximately one per veterinarian
The newly approved Associate in Animal Health degree program is part of A Plan for the Further Desegregation of Fort Valley State College a document submitted by the Board of Regents to Judge Wilbur D Owens Jr of the US District Court for the Middle District of Georgia Macon The plan was ordered by Judge Owens as an outgrowth of a suit in his court
Implementation of the program will be beneficial to the continuing desegregation of the college
West Georgia College was given approval to offer majors in accounting finance marketing and office administration under the institutions existing Associate of Science degree program effective beginning on May 13 1976
These new programs will be offered through the School of Business where there already exists strong faculty resources in each of the areas an agenda report to the Regents indicated West Georgia College President Maurice K Townsend places highest priority on these twoyear career programs in business and he believes that their approval will greatly enhance the colleges efforts to better serve the needs of the Carrollton area the report continued
The Regents were also told through the report
The program in accounting which is expected to have 30 students enrolled within three years is designed to prepare
junior accountants for employment in business and industry Firms in the colleges area have indicated a need for and willingness to employ such graduates
The program in finance for which enrollment is projected to reach 25 students within three years is designed for the preparation of students for employment in financial institutions The need for graduates with this type of training has been substantiated by banking officials in the area
The program in marketing is designed to prepare students for jobs in retail sales It is expected to have an enrollment of 25 students within three years Businesses in the area have indicated a need for trained personnel of this type
The program in office administration is designed primarily to prepare students for employment as office secretaries in business and industry It is expected to have an enrollment of 45 students within three years The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates a continuing increase in the need for such personnel and West Georgia College receives continuing requests for trained office personnel

Board V otes Change of Policy For Scholarship Allocations
A revision in the Board of Regents policy pertaining to the allocations of Regents Scholarship funds to University System institutions was approved by the Board at the June 9 meeting
The text of the newly revised policy under Section J6 of the Policies of the Board of Regents effective beginning on June 9 is
I The Board of Regents will allot to each institution of the University System of Georgia special funds for scholarship purposes Allocations to institutions will he based on the previous fall quarter headcount enrollment of Georgia residents In the case of new institutions allocations will be based on the estimated headcount enrollment of Georgia residents
The text of the superseded policy was
The Board of Regents will allot to each institution of the University System of Georgia special funds for scholarship purposes In the case of the Medical College of Georgia students studying for the degree of Doctor of Medicine will be excluded in computing allocations and will not be eligible to receive scholarship funds under this program Allocations to institutions will be based on the fulltime equivalent enrollment of Georgia residents In the case of new institutions allocations will be based on the estimated fulltime equivalent enrollment of Georgia residents
Former Policy Not Followed
Allocations of Regents Scholarship funds to the institutions have not been made according to the stated now superseded policy for the past few years the request for the change in policy indicated Actual allocations have been based upon the headcount of Georgia residents reported in the previous fall quarter Students studying for the degree of Doctor of Medicine have been included in headcount however no awards have been made to students studying for a Doctor of Medicine degree at the Medical College
The request for the revision of the policy also indicated
We Board of Regents office do not collect data which entirely reflects equivalent fulltime enrollment of Georgia residents This figure can be derived by dividing the total quarter credit hours by 16 23 and the resulting factor then multiplied by the percent of Georgia residents In computing equivalent fulltime enrollment in the University System the quarterly full workload is 16 23 credit hours per student
The Regents policy states that a recipient of a scholarship must maintain his status as a fulltime student leading toward a degree exceptions for unusual circumstances are permitted Fulltime has not been interpreted to be fulltime equivalent student but rather fulltime as defined by the institutions This implies that students carrying 12 or more credits at the undergraduate level and 10 or more credits at the graduate level are considered fulltime students
In another action at the June 9 meeting the Regents allocated to the institutions Regents Scholarship funds appropriated by the 1976 session of the General Assembly
REGENTS AWARDS MONEY ALLOCATED FOR 197677
Allocations to University System institutions of the state appropriation of 200000 for Regents Scholarships 1 during the 197677 fiscal year beginning on July 1 1976 were authorized by the Board of Regents at the June 9 meeting

The allocations to all the institutions except Waycross Junior College a new institution that is scheduled to open in the 1976 fall quarter are based on the previous fall quarters enrollment of Georgia residents The allocation for the new college is based on projected enrollment for the opening quarter
The institutions through the financial aid directors receive applications for Regents Scholarships choose recipients and determine the amounts and timing of the awards subject to policies and regulations of the Board of Regents
Only Georgia residents who would find it difficult or impossible to attend college without financial assistance are eligible to receive these scholarships Also each recipient is required to rank in the upper 25 percent of his college class or in the case of an entering freshman must be predicted to attain such standing
Recipients of Regents Scholarships are expected to work in Georgia following their college study on the basis of one year of work for each 1000 received Recipients who do not discharge their obligations with such work are expected to repay the money received with interest
Meeting Week Early in July

The System Summarv
SalaryContingency Continued from Front Cover
197778 fiscal year was recommended to the full Board by the Boards Committee on Education at the May meeting That recommendation was referred by the full Board for study by a special committee The special committee made up of Board members and Board staff members was scheduled to report the results of its study to the June meeting however no formal report was submitted
Board Chairman Charles A Harris stated at the June meeting that the matter had been discussed extensively by Board members and that he thought a solution had been agreed upon The proposed solution he said without supplying specifics consisted of some deletion some rewording and the issuance of a special statement He said however that one element of the final solution was to be input from the attorney generals office which could not be obtained for the June meeting
The motion to defer further action to the July 7 meeting was made by Regent John R Richardson Conyers It was amended to include a request that the attorney general or his representative be invited to be present at that meeting to be consulted by the Regents as they might desire
Regent Erwin A Friedman Savannah led opposition to further deferral of the vote on the Committee on Educations May recommendation to delete the salarycontingency provision The attorney generals office has already provided sufficient input as to the legal aspect of the provision he told the Board There are considerations besides the legal aspect that must be dealt with he contended and these involve policy for which the Board of Regents is wholly responsible
The salarycontingency provision was adopted as a new section of the faculty employment contract by the Board of Regents in February 1976 on the recommendation of the Boards Committee on Finance and Business Operations Its adoption the Regents were told at that time and in subsequent discussions was also the result in part of a recommendation from the attorney generals office
The move aimed at deleting this provision was launched at the April meeting by Regent Friedman At that meeting at the behest of Mr Friedman through the Boards Committee on Education the Board agreed to place the matter on the May meeting agenda The Committee on Education at its regular meeting immediately prior to the May business session of the Board voted to recommend that the provision be deleted beginning with issuance of faculty employment contracts for the 197778 fiscal year

SalaryContingency Provision in Faculty Pacts Left Intact Comprehensive Review of Employment Contracts Initiated
An emploi ment contract provision making faculty salaries contingent upon the level of state funds appropriated for personal services which some members of the Board of Regents had sought to have rescinded in recent months was left intact by a vote of the Regents at their July 7 meeting
A motion for rescission which had been tabled for two months was defeated 8 to 5
However the salarycontingency provision will receive further attention of the Board as a result of an action taken at the same meeting Immediately after voting to defeat the rescission motion and thereby to retain the salarycontingency provision the Board authorized a comprehensive review by an ad hoc committee of Regents of the language that should be included in the faculty employment contracts That authorization did not stipulate that any aspect of the contracts would be excluded from the review
The text of the salarycontingency provision retained by the defeat of the rescission motion is
The payment of compensation provided for herein is contingent upon the continued availability of funds for personal services under the General Appropriations Act of year as amended and may be increased or reduced according to the availability of said funds under such amendments
This provision was added by the Board of Regents on the recommendation of the attorney general in February I976 and is included in faculty contracts effective in 197677 It was adopted following the affirmation by the Georgia Supreme Court of a Fulton Superior Court order resulting from a 1975 suit filed by the Georgia Conference of the American Association of University Professors et al that required the Board of Regents to pay the full amount of salaries promised in written and signed faculty employment contracts for 197576 I he Board of Regents responding to a reduction of University System state appropriations for 197576 in a state governmentwide fiscal crisis revoked all pay raises authorized for faculty members and other University System personnel Following issuance of the court order requiring restoration of raises totaling 3873750 for faculty members in the written and signed contracts the Board restored all pay raises totaling 11510000 initially authorized for faculty members and other personnel

New degree and major programs including two programs at the graduate degree level for six institutions of the University System were approved by the Board of Regents at the July 7 meeting
Georgia State University
Georgia State University received approval to offer a program in sociology leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree effective beginning as early as the 1976 fall quarter
This new doctoral program is designed to provide an advanced program of study for individuals who have or want professional roles in urbanoriented education social research or community and governmental agencies the Regents were informed in an agenda item Four special areas of study to be pursued are deviance and penology the family and family intervention urban community and social gerontology
Among other points covered in the agenda item
The establishment of the program will enable Georgia State to enhance its capacity as a service and research training resource of the metropolitan Atlanta community and the state of Georgia
Eightyseven federal state and local agencies in the Atlanta area that employ professionals and apply their skills to solving societal problems have been surveyed by the Georgia State U niversity Department of Sociology and have indicated a substantial demand for graduates of the program
The enrollment in the newly approved program is expected to be 2535 and 45 students in the first three years of operation It is anticipated that parttime students will account for a large percentage of enrollment in the program therefore the time required to complete requirements for the newly approved doctoral degree is expected to range from 3 years to 5 years The number of graduates each year is expected to be eventually 9 to 15
The program will have significant positive effects on continuing desegregation in the University System both through enrollment of minority primarily black doctoral students and by providing minority graduates as candidates for a variety of professional positions with community and institutional agencies and for possible teaching positions in the System
On the basis of present enrollment patterns in the Department of Sociology and in the Graduate Division of the School of Arts and Sciences a reasonable prediction is that minority primarily black students will make up 1520 percent of the enrollment and of the graduates in the newly approved program each year

It is anticipated that 510 percent of the students who will enroll in the major in criminal justice will be black and such enrollment would contribute further to the desegregation of the University Four percent of the students presently enrolled in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences in which the newly approved program will be offered are black

The System Summary
SalaryContingency Continued from Front Cover
would have eliminated the salarycontingency provision beginning in 197778
Alfred L Evans Jr assistant attorney general responding to an invitation authorized by the Board of Regents at the June meeting attended the July meeting to review legal aspects of the salarycontingency provision He told the Board that from a legal standpoint retention of the provision would be desirable He emphasized however that his recommendation to retain the provision for its desirability from a legal standpoint was not intended to evaluate whether such retention would be desirable from an extralegal policy standpoint
Mr Evans represented the Board of Regents in the 1975 salary suit He said in response to a Regents question at the July meeting that the salarycontingency provision of the faculty employment contracts would be substantially helpful if the Board were to have to reduce contract salaries in the future and as a result have to face a court suit similar to the one unsuccessfully defended in 1975
The Boards reconsideration of the salarycontingency provision was launched in April when the Board agreed to place the matter on the May meeting agenda The April action was taken at the request of Regent Erwin A Friedman Savannah through the Boards Committee on Education
In May the Boards Committee on Education in its regularly scheduled meeting prior to the Boards regular business session recommended rescission of the salarycontingency provision The Board after a moderate amount of discussion tabled the rescission motion growing out of the committee recommendation and referred the matter to a special committee for study The committee included all members of the Boards Committee on Finance and Business Operations and Committee on Education and several members of the Boards staff
The Committee on Finance and Business Operations and the Committee on Education together include all but four of the members of the Board of Regents The designation of
these two committees was considered to be of special significance because while the Committee on Education recommended rescission of the salarycontingency provision in May the Committee on Finance and Business Operations had recommended the Boards action of adopting the provision three months earlier
At the Boards June meeting the tabled rescission motion came up for some discussion but the disposition of the matter was again deferred by a vote of 74to the July meeting At the June meeting Regents Chairman Charles A Harris reported that the special committee appointed in May to study the salarycontingency provision had discussed the matter Mr Harris whose term as chairman expired at the end of June said he thought the committee had reached agreement that would involve some deletion some rewording and the issuance of a special statement
The special committee didnt make a formal report at the June meeting or at the July meeting
At the Boards July meeting Regent Friedman made a motion that a vote be taken on the tabled rescission motion and that a committee of the Board be appointed by the chairman to conduct a comprehensive review of the language to be used in faculty employment contracts Regent John R Richardson Conyers said that the motion should be divided into two motions one on the rescission the other on the comprehensive review Regent Friedman then restated his motion to call for a vote on the tabled rescission motion
After the defeat of the rescission motion Chancellor George L Simpson Jr told the Board that he concurred in the proposal by Regent Friedman for the appointment of an ad hoc committee of the Board to study and review the language to be included in faculty employment contracts Thereupon a motion by Regent Richardson that the chairman appoint such an ad hoc committee was approved and Board Chairman John A Bell Jr named five Regents to serve on the committee
The committee of which David H Tisingeris chairman will report its findings and recommendations to the Board

378 PERCENT INCREASE IN STATE FUNDS ASKED
A state appropriation of 393092640 for the University System of Georgia for the 197778 fiscal year has been requested in a document filed on September 1 by the Board of Regents office
This amount is 107742458 378 percent more than the state appropriation of 285350182 before adjustments provided for the System for the 197677 fiscal year
The requested increase includes 43296000 for pay raises for System employees
The funds requested for pay raises would provide salary and wage increases averaging 15 percent for academic and nonacademic personnel The need for the payraise money overrides all other needs University System Chancellor George L Simpson Jr said in a statement released simultaneously with the announcement of the filing of the 197778 appropriation request with the state governments Office of Planning and Budget
Breakdown of Request for Pay Raises
The funds requested for pay increases would provide a 2V2 percent builtin raise totaling 7216000 for promotions upgrading and step increases comparable to the step and ingrade increases of the school teachers and other state employees according to Chancellor Simpson a 64 percent acrosstheboard costofliving raise totaling 18040000 and a 614 percent performance merit raise totaling 18040000
The request for funds expressly for promotions upgrading and step increases is a new feature of requests for University System state appropriations for pay raises The requests usually have sought funds for performance merit raises only and the appropriations received have been used on that basis
An exception was the request for increased funds for pay raises for the 197677 fiscal year These funds were sought to provide raises averaging 10Vi percent for academic and nonacademic personnel IV2 percent on a performance merit basis and 3 percent on an acrosstheboard costofliving basis However the University Systems state appropriation for 197677 did not provide any funds for pay increases The office of the Board of Regents authorized presidents of University System institutions to grant some pay raises for 197677 under restrictive conditions provided funds could

Statement on the Quest For 197778 Pay Raises
By Chancellor George L Simpson Jr
We have come to the point in the University System at which one need overrides all others
This is the need for a substantial increase in wages and salaries for all who work in the System teachers nonacademic people of all sorts researchers and administrative persons
There are a number of other serious needs in the University System But the matter of pay increase at this time has a direct effect on the quality of all institutions all programs and all services provided by the System to the people of the state Unless this need is attended to improvement in other areas will be but poor economy and poorer education
There are three main reasons why this is true
1 We are beginning to lose faculty members and others at an alarming rate From the point of view of the progress of the state and of the education of its young people this is a serious matter The quality of education rests on the quality of the faculties
A new recruiting season is just beginning Without the prospect of some relief our losses will be serious
Many people are under the impression that because of the recession other states are not in a position to attract our people This is not true There have been substantial raises in most of the southern states in recent years as well as else

Vice President for Armstrong State
Armstrong State College has been authorized to have a vice president effective beginning September 9
The move was made when the Board of Regents at its September 8 meeting acceded to a request to change the title of H Dean Propst dean of the college to that of vice president and dean of the faculty
The title change is a step toward a reorganized academic administrative structure for the college recommended by President Henry Ashmore that would include the establishment of a dean of Arts and Sciences a dean of Professional Studies and a Graduate dean the Regents were told One new budgeted position that of dean of Arts and Sciences would be required to effect the changes the Regents were also told
Nursing Technical Services Programs Approved by Board
A new baccalaureate degree program in nursing and an expansion of offerings of an existing associate degree program in applied science were approved by the Board of Regents at the September 8 meeting
Also a cooperative agreement pertaining to some existing academic programs a new department and a name change for an existing department were authorized by the Board at the same meeting
Newly Approved Programs
Georgia College was given approval to implement a Bachelor of Science degree program in nursing effective beginning as early as in September 1977
Georgia College has operated since 1968 an associate degree program in nursing which has a current enrollment of approximately 140 fulltime students and 80 parttime students This program and two other University System associate degree programs in nursing within a 50mile radius of Georgia College at Middle Georgia College and Macon Junior College serve the central Georgia area
The central Georgia area including Metropolitan Macon has several large hospitals and numerous other health care facilities and agencies but it does not have a baccalaureate degree program in nursing the Regents were told through an agenda item
The agenda statement also indicated
The newly approved program will enable associate degree and hospital school graduates in nursing to complete requirements for the baccalaureate degree in nursing with preparation for functioning in urban andor rural practice settings
Enrollment in the program including fulltime and parttime students is expected to be 60 115 and 135 students including a large number of practicing nurses in the first second and third years of operation
It is predicted that minority students will account for more than 20 percent of enrollment in the program whereas this category of students made up 154 percent of Georgia Colleges enrollment in the 1976 spring quarter
Waycross Junior College received authorization to offer technical specialties under a previously approved Associate in Applied Science degree program effective beginning as early as in the 1976 fall quarter
This program which will be offered cooperatively with the WaycrossWare County Area VocationalTechnical School will consist of six technical specialties child development computer programming drafting forest technology marketing and management and secretarial science
An estimate indicates that minority students will make up approximately 30 percent of enrollment in these newly approved technical specialties the Regents were also told This compares with an estimate that minority students will account for approximately 20 percent of total enrollment at Waycross Junior College when this new institution begins operation in the 1976 fall quarter
Cooperative Agreement
Authorization was given for the execution of a cooperative agreement between two University System institutions the University of Georgia and Gainesville Junior College and
the Lanier Area VocationalTechnical School
The agreement provides for the coordination of existing data processing and secretarial science degree programs at the associate and baccalaureate levels effective beginning as early as in the 1977 winter quarter Career ladder options will be offered to Gainesville Junior College associate degree graduates in the fields of data processing and secretarial science These options will lead to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree at the University of Georgia
Under the authorized agreement Gainesville Junior College is to coordinate and maintain the data processing and secretarial science programs jointly with the Lanier Area VocationalTechnical School The University of Georgia will accept in transfer the associate degree outlined from Gainesville Junior College and upon a students completion of an additional two years of prescribed academic work will award the Bachelor of Science in Education degree with a major in business education the Regents were told
Similar agreements creating career ladder cooperation of a vocationaltechnical school and University System institutions were previously approved by the Regents
New Department
Valdosta State College received approval to establish a Department of Political Science
For six years this political science faculty originally part of the Department of History has functioned as a provisional department having its own budget submitting its own schedules and being administered by a provisional head the Regents were told in agenda material
The quantity and quality of academic activities of this faculty now warrant its approval as a fullfledged department
Change in Name of Department
The University of Georgia was given approval to change the name of the Department of Real Estate to the Department of Real Estate and Urban Development
The proposed new designation does not indicate any change in direction for the department but rather is a more accurate description of its program since inception according to information presented to the Regents This proposed new name also agrees with departmental designations of other schools that offer similar programs

SOURCE Telephone surveys of the states
2 We have not only lost ground to other states in higher education At home in Georgia the employees of the University System both academic and nonacademic have lost ground to other state employees in recent years The statement at this point referred to an appended chart showing pay increases during the period from the 196970 fiscal year through the 197677 fiscal year for University System and Merit System nonacademic employees at the selected pay level of 6000 in the 196869 fiscal year and for University System and Merit System academic employees and State Board of Education academic employees eligible for step and ingrade increases at the selected pay level of 8000 in the 196869 fiscal year
In the nonacademic area an employee of the University System who was making 6000 in 1969 is now making 8256 whereas an employee under the Merit System who was eligible for ingrade increases would now be making 10650 or onefourth more than the University System employee
In the academic area a faculty member making 8000 in 1969 is now making 10623 while a school teacher eligible for step increases is making 14254 or about onethird more than the faculty members
Not all school teachers and other state employees receive the builtin step and ingrade increases every year However the overall average increase for school teachers is at least 15 percent Had even this been available to the University System during the recent years of inflation we would be far better off
Some detailed comparisons have been made of some 30 Posi ions at the Medical College of Georgia with similar jobs und the Merit System These are nonacademic positions ranging from nurse to secretary to laundry helper These data show clearly that the employees of the University
System have fared poorly in comparison to other state employees Overall the difference in favor of Merit System employees on July 1 1976 was 165 percent Detailed data on the Medical College of Georgia and Merit System employeepay comparisons for the period from July 1 1975 through projected January 1 1978 were attached as an appendix to the statement
3 Pay raises for the University System have been substantially below the rise in cost of living Consumer Price Index in recent years Employees of the University System have lost at least 15 percent in real purchasing power during the last three years The statement at this point referred to an appended chart showing the cumulative increases in the Consumer Price Index and in the pay of academic and nonacademic employees of the University System for the period from 1969 through projected 1977
Job security in a time of unemployment has been a mitigating factor But the loss in real dollars has been too great and has gone on far too long
We are asking for a 15 percent increase in salaries and wages for the employees of the University System for FY 1978
This figure will go far toward regaining the ground lost in recent years to the costofliving increase and toward restoring our competitive position to that of a few years ago
Of this 15 percent we are asking that 25 percent be given as an annual builtin increase comparable to the step and ingrade increases of the school teachers and other state employees A continuing increase appears necessary to cope with inflation
It is requested that the remaining 125 percent be split in half One half 625 percent would be given across the board in recognition of the cost of living The other half 625 percent would be given on a performance basis
In accordance with the desires of the General Assembly a thorough study of the pay structure of the University System for both academic and nonacademic areas is being conducted An outside consulting firm has been employed During the fall meetings will be held on this matter with members of the Legislature and of the Governors office
In recent years remarkable progress has been made in the University System not only in numbers and in services but especially in quality of work This progress rested on large increases of funds provided during the 1960s
To fall back is to lose what every state needs for its general wellbeing
The last dozen years have been difficult turbulent years in higher education in Georgia and elsewhere It is easy not to see and keep in mind what has happened under this rough surface During this time the people of Georgia have developed a good system of higher education available to all people of the state who want to attend college
Today and for all foreseeable tomorrows such a resource is absolutely essential in the life of the state
The hard fact remains The average Georgia high school graduate needs and will continue to need some form of education after high school to make his way in the world Half or more of these graduates will want even demand access to good college education This access is now available But it must remain of good quality In education quality lies in people

hree October Appointments lad Been Tabled Last Month
Three of the administrative appointments approved by the Board of Regents at the October 1213 meeting were initially submitted to the Board at the September meeting and were tabled at that time The tabled appointments all of University of Georgia administrators were William Abbott Owens Jr acting provost James Ralph Beaird dean of the School of Law and Scott M Cutlip dean of the School of Journalism
At the October meeting
The appointment of the acting provost was approved near the end of approximately one and a half hours of debate on a substitute motion made by Erwin A Friedman Regent from vannah The approved motion was made after the introducn of a number of proposals for reaching a settlement of the ue It stipulates that a revised table of administrative struce of the University of Georgia is to be submitted by the uiversity within 90 days for action by the Board of Regents
and that if this condition is not complied with the appointment of the acting provost will cease to be in effect at the end of the 90day period
The appointments of the dean of the School of Law and the dean of the School of Journalism were approved after only brief essentially routine discussion just as they were proposed when they were presented and tabled in September
Debate on Appointment of Acting Provost
The basic argument made against approval of the appointment of the acting provost was that a review of the role and functions of the office of provost to determine the future of the office should be completed first That stand reflected a contention of some Regents that recurring public controversy centered on the office in recent years some of it dissatisfaction expressed by faculty members has given reason to indicate that change in the office may be needed
Among the change options that some Regents said they wanted considered were reduction of the role and functions of the office of provost elimination of that office consolidation of that office with the office of vice president for instruction
There was also an expressed view that the budget of the office of provost which according to a figure offered during the debate is more than 240000 per year is excessive
The move in support of approval of the appointment of the acting provost was based primarily on an argument that the office of provost which was established in 1969 and which has been vacant since July 1976 should be filled without further delay for the sake of administrative efficacy
Another supportive argument was that one of the responsibilities of the acting provost as stipulated by the president of the University in submitting the appointment would be to conduct a review of the office of provost to identify change deemed needed
The urgency to fill the position was increased according to some proponents of the appointment of the acting provost by the impending departure in December of the vice president for instruction who has resigned to accept a position in another state
There was also an expressed view that the recurring controversy centered on the office of provost in recent years has been overstated
Tabling Action at Previous Meeting
The appointments of the acting provost the dean of the School of Law and the dean of the School of Journalism were tabled as a group at the September meeting and a subsequent motion to vote on them individually was ruled out of order In the discussion preceding the tabling action the main point of disagreement among the Regents was on the appointment of the acting provost with opponents of the appointment asking that action be withheld pending determination of the future of the office of provost There was also a request for clarification of agenda information relating to the term of employment whether nine months as designated or 12 months of the dean of the School of Journalism and there was some expressed dissatisfaction that agenda material on all three of the appointees had been late in reaching the Regents

Board Adds One New Program Defers Action on Another
A new Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program with a major in art at Augusta College to be implemented as early as in the 1977 spring quarter was authorized by the Board of Regents at the October 1213 meeting
Action on a proposal to authorize a new Master of Music degree program at West Georgia College was deferred by the Board at the same meeting
Approved Bachelors Degree Program

The System Summary
Medical College Pay Raises Voted After Extended Debate
Pay raises for all classified personnel of the Medical College of Georgia to become effective on January 1 1977 were authorized by the Board of Regents at the November 910 meeting
The increases described in the request for the Board action as emergency wage adjustment must be derived totally from internal income the Board stipulated
The action provides that all classified personnel will receive an acrosstheboard increase of 4 percent and that some not more than half of these employees will receive additional merit increases averaging 2 percent All the authorized increases will go to classified personnel employed prior to April 1 1976
The merit increases will not be limited to 2 percent but some may be considerably more provided the average is kept within 2 percent
The Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee recommended that the Board authorize the increases The implementation of the boosts will require 485000 for the remainder of the 197677 fiscal year through next June 30 The initial request submitted by the Medical College proposed that the sources of the funds would be 346000 from increased hospital patient fee income 93000 from capitation federal funds and 46000 from reductions in other areas of the institutions budget The Finance and Business Operations Committee recommended and the Board approved the increases with a stipulation prohibiting the reduction in other areas of the budget This stipulation in effect forbids the use of any Board of Regentsallocated state appropriation in the 485000 anticipated expenditures
Wage Differential Cited
In an agenda item the Regents were told
The wage differential existing between employees involved in patient care at the Medical Colleges Eugene Talmadge Memorial Flospital and the surrounding hospitals in the Augusta area has created a situation which requires the recommended emergency action the payraise authorization of the Board Ample statistics to justify the emergency increase in the patient care area are available Employee relations in the remainder of the work force demands that the increase be made to all classified employees
The pay raises were authorized after a 40minute debate on the matter There was not a dissenting vote cast however not all the Regents present voted
Major Arguments Advanced
There was general agreement among the Regents who paricipated in the debate that there was ample need for the aises Some of these Regents maintained however that the ustification for increasing pay of classified personnel was not ny greater at the Medical College than at other institutions of the University System
Among major arguments advanced by proponents of auhorization for the increases were these
Pay boosts for patient care employees at the Talmadge
Hospital primary teaching facility of the Medical College are required to ensure the staffing necessary to the continued proper operation of the hospital Such staffing is imperative in maintaining proper quality and scope not only of patient care but also of education
Failure to provide adequate staffing of the Talmadge Hospital would be likely to create a downward spiral of the patient census and consequently of income An inadequate patient care program would jeopardize continued growth of enrollment and possibly even cause a reduction of present enrollment of medical students and it would be a threat to accreditation
Patient care employees such as those required for staffing of the Talmadge Hospital are of a rather exclusive type among University System employees
The Talmadge Hospital operations are in a way of thinking a business and the use of patient care funds generated by the hospital to ensure continued adequate operation of the facility is a good business practice
Among the major arguments advanced by Regents who expressed reservations about authorization of the pay raises were these
In approving the raises the Board would be creating a special class and would be piecemeal selecting the Medical College to discriminate against other units within the University System
The urgency of the Medical Colleges need for pay raises is not unique within the University System but is common to all System institutions The Board of Regents request for the 197778 state appropriation to include pay raises averaging 15 percent for all employees in the System is evidence that an urgent emergency situation regarding pay is Systemwide
The Medical Colleges reported unfavorable position in competing for essential employees is not unique All System institutions are having to compete with everyone in the job market wherever they are
Approval of the raises would raise a basic question of whether an institution that is able to generate income such as that represented by patient care fees at the Medical College should receive special consideration over institutions that cannot generate such income
Hospital Committee Sent Letter
A letter to the Board of Regents from the Executive Committee of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital was introduced by the Finance and Business Operations Committee in support of its recommendation to authorize the pay increases
In the letter signed by W A Scoggin chief of staff of the Talmadge Hospital the Executive Committee told the Board
Talmadge Memorial Hospital faces a problem of potentially critical proportions in the immediate future Nurses technicians secretaries and other supporting personnel are leaving the environment in very significant numbers Recruitment in recent weeks has not kept pace and is not

currently keeping pace with requirements For example there are 44 unfilled Registered Nurse positions as of this date The shortages undoubtedly will increase in the near future as pay scales in competitive hospitals in the area are increased Current reports indicate that employees in Augusta hospitals excluding Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital will receive 4 to 10 percent salary increases to begin January 1 1977
The problem is further compounded by the fact that patients referred to Talmadge have complicated patterns of illness Nursing care and other clinical services at Talmadge Hospital are of necessity more intense and esoteric than patient care requirements in nonreferral centers
This is a paradox and its potential consequences are obvious Quality patient care should be the hallmark of a university medical center but personnel available are unable to render quality care Further it should be recognized that these shortages are occurring at a time when the faculty has successfully accepted the challenge of increasing its productivity and has generated income through increased emphasis on patient care In addition new and expanding programs which have been approved cannot be properly supported An equally critical situation may arise with respect to medical education If the abovementioned needs are not promptly and properly met accreditation of the medical school and its graduate training programs will be placed in serious jeopardy Without increased numbers of patients it is very unlikely that we will be approved for an entering class of 200 medical students and it may well be that our present level of 180 will be reduced
This committee feels strongly that Talmadge Memorial Hospital with its patient population and its ability to deliver high quality patient care represents the keystone upon which all other campus educational activities are built Deterioration of patient care will adversely affect all Medical College of Georgia educational programs

Establishment of a new Latin American Studies Program in Mexico as a part of the University System Studies Abroad Program was approved by the Board of Regents at the November 910 meeting
The new program which was proposed by Glenn G Thomas director of the Studies Abroad Program is designed to provide students the opportunity to study Latin American history geography economics sociology art political science language and literature on location with the advantages of resources of local institution and personnel according to an agenda item
Other objectives of the new program as set forth in the agenda item included To provide students the opportunity to experience the Latin American culture at firsthand to provide Spanish students with primary interest in Latin American literature and culture opportunity to live in the language where they can develop language skills much more quickly and effectively to provide an option for students without language background to add international study to their higher education experience thereby reaching a larger number of students and to provide opportunity to students to develop international awareness and commitment to international understanding especially as it relates to an area of increasing importance to southeastern Americans
The program authorized to become effective in the 1977 summer quarter will be conducted at IberoAmerican University Mexico City It will consist of eight weeks of concentrated study at the university 7 days to 10 days of directed travel to places of historical and cultural interest related to fields of study and frequent short excursions to nearby sites of interest the proposal for the new program indicated After satisfactory completion of the program participants will receive 15 quarter hours of credit according to the proposal
Georgia Tech Savannah State Together in 32 Offering
A dualdegree program to be offered by the Georgia Institute of Technology and Savannah State College was approved by the Board of Regents at the November 910 meeting
This program authorized to become effective beginning in the 1977 winter quarter is similar to programs between the Georgia Institute of Technology and several other University System institutions Such programs which are popularly known as 32 programs are also offered between the Georgia Institute of Technology and several institutions outside the University System
Under the newly approved program normally a student must complete threefourths of the work required for a bachelors degree at Savannah State College and the work required of juniors and seniors at the Georgia Institute of Technology according to agenda material considered by the Regents After completion of the requirements of both
institutions a student will receive a bachelors degree from Savannah State College and one of several designated bachelors degrees in engineering or applied science from Georgia Institute of Technology the agenda material also indicated
The Regents were also told
Under a special provision of the program highly qualified undergraduates may enter the Georgia Institute of Technology at the end of three or more years of undergraduate study at Savannah State College with the intent of seeking a degree at the masters level instead of a second bachelors degree In these cases a student will be required to complete at least 50 quarter hours of graduate work at Georgia Tech in addition to the quarter hours required for the bachelors degree at Savannah State College
The program should increase the number of minority students at the Georgia Institute of Technology

The System Summary
Hay Report Confirms Uncompetitiveness of Pay in System
A CLAIM OF WIDESPREAD UNCOMPETITIVENESS of pay in the University System of Georgia has been confirmed in a report by a management consulting firm to the Board of Regents at the November 910 meeting
The report submitted by Hay Associates Philadelphia described findings of unfavorable salary levels in all categories of employment in the University System It focused more on classified nonfaculty employees than on faculty and administrative and professional employees
Salary conditions for some classified employees in the System are probably at a crisis stage the report indicated
The report set forth the Hay findings in the firms analysis of the validity and relevance of comparative salary information used by the Board of Regents office in support of its request for statefunded increases averaging 15 percent for all University Systememployeesforthe 197778fiscal year Hay was employed by the Board of Regents to make the analysis
The comparative salary information assembled by Board of Regents officers and staff members was included in the request for the overall University System appropriation for the 197778 fiscal year It indicated widespread uncompetitiveness of pay of University System employees compared with pay of counterparts outside the System
Classified NonFaculty Employees
The Hay report signed by Bernard Ingster director of Special GovernmentalEducational Services indicated ln specific cases within certain functional groups and institutions of the University System the salary conditions are probably at a crisis stage I refer here particularly to a number of positions that would be classified positions in the Merit System terms
Dramatic pay differentials for completely comparable work in the Merit System and the University System may result from differences in methods of state funding for pay increases according to the report Cited was the case of a University System employee in a clericalsecretarial or a custodial or maintenance job compared with a Merit System employee with a directly comparable job and the same employment conditions with both employees having been employed in 1969 at the same salary The University System employee if not promoted or reclassified by 1975 would have fallen nearly 25 percent behind the Merit System employee in salary
Classified employees under the Merit System are paid within a salary structure encompassing nine steps between the minimum salary level and the maximum level the report explains with each step averaging 4887 percent more than the previous step
The report elaborates
When the Merit System pay plan is funded by the Legislature in a year when a general increase is provided the costs for both salary adjustment within the salary range as well as a salary range adjustment are covered This is necessary because an employee in a Merit System classified position may get without a promotion or reclassification two increases
in a given fiscal year The first increase would be the value of any step rate adjustment because of an increase in the salary ranges to accommodate cost of living and competitive salary market situations The second increase for any employee not already at Step 9 would come with salary movement from one step to the next step at the annual anniversary date of continuous service Technically movements within the range are merit increments because they would not be granted except in the case of satisfactory performance Practically no step increments are withheld however this is a common condition in such compensation plans for state and local governments
The University System however is funded only to pay for merit salary increases because the System does not use step schedules in any of its pay plans Thus the University System does not accumulate the same obligation for an employees salary growth as does the Merit System
Once a Merit System employee is hired in a particular salary grade the employee with satisfactory performance is guaranteed salary growth over time to the grade maximum together with the increased earnings resulting from step value range changes authorized by the legislature
The report noted that the University System is appropriately seeking funds for both acrosstheboard and performancebased or merit increases of salaries from state appropriations for 197778 It contended however that the total of 875 percent requested for acrosstheboard increases would not fully overcome the erosion of equity that has occurred between salary levels for Merit System and University System employees
The 15 percent average raise in pay in the University System if granted in the state appropriations for 197778 would provide a 2 12 percent acrosstheboard builtin step increase the first of its kind for University System employees similar to the step increases long provided for Merit System employees a 6 14 percent acrosstheboard cost of living increase and a 6 14 percent average performancebased or merit increase
Faculty Members
There is a widespread plummeting of the competitive status of average faculty salaries in the University System the report indicated giving an example
For positions with full rank of professor average salaries within the University System are consistently between 2000 and 3000 lower than average salaries for full professors in directly comparable institutions Such differences hover at a conservative estimate of 101 1 percent off of a desirable competitive market position What is particularly disturbing however is the accelerating rate of decline in recent years
To some extent this increasing rate of erosion of a competitive salary position is reflective of the general level of salary increases granted by the University System for the 197576 and 197677 fiscal years For both years the System provided a total of 5 percent for salary growth clearly among

the very lowest for public educational systems in the southern states
Despite the fact that large numbers of vacancies in faculty positions do not exist in the nation if the University System salaries continue to slide the faculties of its institutions will increasingly be vulnerable to raiding for the limited opportunities that do exist
Administrative and Professional Employees
The Hay studies of administrative and professional positions in systems of public higher education show that the relative rankings year by year since 1972 indicate slippage in the competitive status of salaries for these positions within the University System of Georgia according to the report The rate of erosion of competitive rank is not quite as rapid as that of the faculty positions and the classified type functions discussed in this report but it is not a healthy condition in terms of retaining and recruiting administrative and professional employees in the tight academic markets today
OneYear Comprehensive Study
The analysis of comparative salary data was the first phase of a oneyear comprehensive study by Hay Associates of University System job classifications and compensation structures The next phase which is expected to be completed by July 1 1977 will be a job classification and salary administration plan for all classified nonfaculty employees
University System Chancellor George L Simpson Jr says the objective of the comprehensive study is the definition of personnel compensation patterns which would ensure equity between employees of the University System and those of other state agencies and which would provide a competitive and easily comprehensible compensation base for purposes of builtinsalaryincreases administration
An appropriation of 50000 to be applied on the cost of conducting the comprehensive study was provided by the 1976 session of the General Assembly from which came a resolution in behalf of such a venture

The lease covering storage space for Georgia State at 187189 Edgewood Avenue SW Atlanta was authorized by the Board of Regents in November 1974 at a rental of 1395 per month for the period of December 1 1974November 30 1975 with option to renew for four consecutive years
There is disagreement between Georgia State and the landlords over the length of the period during which the lease was in effect The 9675 that Georgia State seeks to recover represents payments the institution made after it contends the lease ended and the premises were vacated
The attorney generals office informally reviewed the matter and recommended that suit be filed to recover the 9765 in lease payments made by Georgia State University for a period after November 30 1975 according to the Regents agenda material Georgia State University President Noah Langdale Jr requested that the matter be referred to
the attorney general for appropriate legal action the agenda material also indicated
Authorization was given for rejecting a proposal by Four Eleven Associates to renegotiate a note the Board of Regent holds on a parcel of property containing approximately 306 acres in Bartow County Georgia The action was undergirded by a personal opinion from the attorney generals office which was response to an inquiry

Four Eleven Associates requested Board of Regents approval to renegotiate the note by reducing the annual interest rate from 8 percent currently to 4 percent for seven years retroactive to August 1 1976 then returning it to 8 percent for seven years
Alfred L Evans Jr assistant attorney general said in a letter presented to the Regents at the November meeting that the principal legal obstacle to renegotiation of the note is a constitutional provision prohibiting the grant of a gift or gratuity to private individuals It would be my personal opinion that a forebearance of a sum owed to the State as is proposed here would clearly be a gift and gratuity Mr Evans wrote in the letter which was directed to Shealy E McCoy vice chancellor for fiscal affairs and treasurer The correspondence was in response to an inquiry from Mr McCoy
The note conveyed to the Board of Regents was in the principal amount of 1199357 with an interest rate of 8 percent Annual interestonly payments were to be made through 1977 after which annual principalreduction payments were to begin The 1974 and 1975 interest payments were made as scheduled but the 1976 interest payment of 95949 which was due on August 1 is unpaid according to information furnished to the Regents at the November meeting

The System Summary
Contract Continued from Front Cover operating expenses is
The Board of Regents receives an annual appropriation from the General Assembly for all phases of its operations This appropriation may be increased or decreased by the Legislature or the Governor during the period of any fiscal year Expenditures for operation of the University System are therefore necessarily contingent upon legislative appropriations In the event that the General Assembly or the Governor at any time reduces the amount of funds appropriated to the Board the compensation of all employees and other operating expenses may as a consequence be correspondingly reduced It shall however be the intent of the Board to maintain insofar as possible current salary commitments to every employee and the Board will exert its composite influence and best efforts to that end
This policy superseded the first paragraph of Section 126 Policies of the Board of Regents the text of which was
Changes shall not be made during a fiscal year in the salaries set up for positions listed in budgets of institutions of the University System Presidents of institutions shall incorporate their recommendations for salary increases for positions in their annual budgets provided such increases are within previously established regulations of the Board and the institutions concerned Salary increases shall be based only upon merit and shall not be automatic
The faculty employment contract provision tieing salaries to the level of state appropriation for personal services was adopted by the Board of Regents at the February 1976 meeting on the recommendation of the Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee
A move by some members of the Board to rescind the faculty salarylevel of personal services provision was initiated in the Boards Education Committee at the April meeting and at that time the Regents agreed that reconsideration
of the provision would be placed on the agenda of the May meeting
At the May meeting the Boards Education Committee recommended that the Board vote to rescind the provision effective beginning with the 197778 faculty employment contracts After a moderate amount of discussion of the committee recommendation at the May meeting the matter was deferred for further study
At the June meeting the recommendation for the rescission of the provision was deferred again
At the July meeting the recommendation was defeated by a vote of 85 leaving the faculty salarylevel of personal services appropriation tie intact
Both the rescission of the muchdebated faculty contract provision and the adoption of the revised policy on pay and other operating expenses were voted by the Board in November as recommended by the Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee The rescission of the contract provision and the adoption of a revised policy on pay and other operating expenses were recommended to the Finance and Business Operations Committee by an ad hoc committee of Regents named four months ago to conduct a comprehensive review of University System faculty employment contracts The review committees recommendation on a revised policy on pay and other operating expenses was modified by the Finance and Business Operations Committee The primary change was the substitution by the Finance and Business Operations Committee of intent in the place of policy to set forth the nature of the commitment of the Board in behalf of maintaining current salary commitments to all employees
The review committee was appointed by Board Chairman John A Bell Jr at the July meeting immediately following the defeat of the original move to rescind the salaryappropriation contract provision The committee was made up of Regents David H Tisinger chairman Rufus B Coody Erwin A Friedman Elridge W McMillan and Carey Williams

status effective beginning in the 1978 fall quarter was authorized by the Board of Regents in April 1976 At that time the Board stipulated that the plan for the conversion would be reported to HEW for review as required by the Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System which was approved by HEW in the summer of 1974
Conclusions of Report
The summary conclusions of the report were
1 The conversion of Kennesaw Junior College to fouryear status is justifiable in terms of the needs of the population in the service area of the college which cannot be realistically served by senior colleges in other locations
2 The institutions in the geographic area surveyed reported projections of little or no increases or decreases in ethnic enrollment because of this conversion
3 The city of Marietta which is proximate to Kennesaw Junior College has the largest black minority population in Cobb County The number of nonwhite students in the Marietta City Schools in 197475 was 1235 or 2785 percent of the total enrollment of 4434 a table included in the report indicated Attendance at a fouryear college in Kennesaw would be more economical for this group than attendance outside of Cobb County The Board of Regents is committed to the provisions of its Plan For the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia and will make use of every valid recruitment technique in order to give access to this available pool of minority students which is at the present not being served
4 After an assessment of all of the data which are available it is concluded that the population of the Kennesaw Junior College area which includes the Seventh Congressional District of Georgia suggests the need for a senior college in the area and that there will be no negative effects upon the development of a nondualistic system Further enrollment projections indicate that this conversion will result in an increase of students at Kennesaw from its present student population of 3253 students to 5450 students by the academic year 1982
The report was presented to the Board by Howard Jordan Jr vice chancellor for services who coordinated the study through the office of Vice Chancellor John W Hooper over the past six months
The study was conducted without the use of a precise model Dr Jordan said No one at this time has clearly defined what is involved in an impact study he added in the report
Experience gained by the Board of Regents in implementingthe Planforthe Further Desegregation of the University System was among the major resources employed in the study the report indicated Adapted materials from a paper entitled Impact Study and State Planning in Higher Education prepared by the Southern Regional Education Board was also one of the major resources the document further indicated

Role of Seventh District Counties
The role of Cobb County and other counties of the Seventh Congressional District in the future development of Kennesaw was highlighted in the impact study report
Among the references
In population Cobb County in 1966 was Georgias seventh largest county and in 1970 it had grown to be the states third largest county population of this county increased from 196793 in 1970 to 260000 estimated in 1976 and it is projected to be approximately 300000 by 1982 Bartow Cherokee and Paulding Counties are also experiencing rapid population growth
Cobb County is considerably larger than either Richmond County Muscogee County or Chatham County which are the locations for the only other three nonresident senior colleges in the University System Augusta College Columbus College Armstrong State College respectively The growth in the population of Cobb County greatly exceeds the projected growth for any one of the other three counties
The number of high school graduates in Cobb County has increased from 1984 in 1970 to 3300 in June 1976 and is expected to increase to 4934 by 1980

Optometry Continued from Front Cover
a proposal for expansion of optometric education in the South and a consultant panel recommended that one new school be established in Georgia North Carolina or South Carolina Since that time representatives of the boards of higher education of these threestates and optometric association representatives have met several times for deliberation on the proposal They have developed and approved a document Policy Statement and Formulation of an Approach for Cooperative Expansion of Optometric Education which was furnished to the Regents
The document envisions that
The proposed new school must meet all accrediting requirements and it must be located in an academic health science center
The school would guarantee specified numbers of places for students from each of the three participating states a maximum total of 90 enteringclass students after a few years including 35 from Georgia 35 from North Carolina and 20 from South Carolina
The three participating states would share costs of construction and equipment and of operations
Projected construction costs would be 15000000 anticipated to be derived 12000000 from a federal grant 1200000 from Georgia 1200000 from North Carolina and 600000 from South Carolina if federal funding not available in whole or part of that projected the states share would be increased proportionally
Projected operating costs would be 3000000 annually
with maximum enrollment of 90 enteringclass students to be derived 420000 from Georgia 420000 from North Carolina and 240000 from South Carolina on a proportionalshare basis plus 1920000 from the host state in addition to its proportional share
The projected proportionalshare operating costs are based on a Southern Regional Education Board contract rate of 3000 per student per year It is anticipated that with a total of 90 enteringclass students there would be 360 students in all classes 140 from Georgia 140from North Carolina and 80 from South Carolina
The advisory board for the school would include four members from each participating state to be designated by the governing or coordinating board of higher education two members designated by the Southern Regional Education Board one of whom is to be the chairman and the chief executive officer of the host institution ex officio
The advisory board would furnish advice on such matters as quotas for student spaces fees and all matters of mutual interest

The action approved in principle a proposed agreement under which Hay Associates Philadelphiabased management consulting firm will design document and recommend a program that will set forth job descriptions and salary scales for all the affected employees which would provide a basis for a plan for builtin pay increases
This will be a study and a proposal Shealy E McCoy vice chancellor for fiscal affairs and treasurer told the Regents in a summary of some of the major terms of the proposed agreement You can adopt any part the Board likes or reject any part the Board doesnt like whenever it is finished
The Board in addition to giving approval in principle to the proposed agreement set forth one specific stipulation The detailed classification effort will be limited to the approximately 24000 nonteachingfaculty employees and will not involve the approximately 6000 teaching faculty members however Hay Associates will observe and comment on in its final reports the current University System practices relating to the salary program for the teachingfaculty group
Committee Handling Details of Agreement
Responsibility for working out the other details of the proposed agreement including making necessary adjust
ments and authorizing the execution of a contract was left by the Board to its Finance and Business Operations Committee
Regent David H Tisinger Carrollton chairman of the Finance and Business Operations Committee said the committee would hold a meeting which all other Board members are invited to attend soon after the December meeting to put the finishing touches on the proposed agreement
The 21page proposal was received from Hay Associates by special courier shortly before the Boards December meeting began It was discussed by the Finance and Business Operations Committee in a lengthy session on the first day of the Board meeting but there was insufficient time to consider adequately all the details at that time Regent Tisingertold the Board
In stipulating who would who would not be included in the detailed salary classification program the Board gave specific approval to a section ofthe proposed agreement with some modification providing
This study is concerned with the salary practices associated with the job responsibilities and functions performed by approximately 24000 employees within the University System
An additional group of approximately 6000 persons spend their time predominantly carrying out the instructional programs and they hold academic rank through an initial appointment in a specific academic discipline in a department

Pay Classification Continued from Front Cover
of a school or college in the System Salary growth and employment status for this latter group in matters such as promotions and tenure decisions are governed by processes that involve substantial peer participation Growth in personal excellence through the mastery and communication of an academic subject matter is a principal determinant in salary increases and academic rank status for these approximately 6000 persons Hay Associates will observe and comment in its final reports upon the current System practices relating to the salary program for this faculty group
Another section of the proposed agreement which was not discussed by the Board but which was closely related to and immediately followed the section given specific approval provides
The title offaculty also is appliedtopersonsinfulltime twelvemonth positions in which the incumbents are paid on the basis of salary and promotion decisions made in a manner different from that used with the 6000 positions described above This study will include the design of appropriate salary programs for these additional groups of faculty positions Complete definition of these groups will be provided by the University System to Hay Associates
The proposed agreement indicates that the conduct of the salary classification program for the approximately 24000 nonteachingfaculty employees would require approximately 18 months to complete and would cost a maximum of 177460 also that Hay Associates would provide consultation during the first year of implementation of the program at a maximum cost of 20000
Hay Conducting Comprehensive Study
The salary classification program is expected to be completed for staff members in the classified personnel category by July 1 1977 and for the remaining nonteachingfaculty employees by mid1978 This endeavor is part of a comprehensive study by Hay Associates of University System job classifications and compensation structures
The first phase of the comprehensive study was an analysis of pay of University System employees in all categories compared with pay of nonSystem employees in comparable jobs The report of that phase which was presented to the Board of Regents at the November meeting described findings by Hay Associates of unfavorable levels of pay in all categories of employment in the University System The report focused more on classified or nonfaculty employees than on other categories of employees and it indicated that salary conditions are probably at a crisis stage for some classified personnel
The objective of the comprehensive study according to Chancellor George L Simpson Jr is the definition of personnel compensation patterns which would ensure equity between employees of the University System and those of other state agencies and which would provide a competitive and easily comprehensible compensation base for purposes of builtinsalaryincreases administration
A resolution in behalf of a venture such as the comprehensive study and also an appropriation of 50000 to be applied on the cost of conducting such a study came from the 1976 session of the General Assembly
Provost Issue Continued from Front Cover
conduit directly between the faculty and the president
The plan was officially submitted by University President Fred C Davison at the end of a threehour presentation Among the speakers joining the president in making the special presentation which in general was designed to reflect high marks for the University both on leadership and on programs were several faculty members and administrators an alumni society official and a student leader
Several Regents referring to the special presentation or to other oncampus experiences or to a combination of these made laudatory statements about various aspects of the University including personnel and programs
Not all the twoday meeting was brightness however A Regent Elridge W McMillan Atlanta among Board members saying some good things about the University declared that he was almost moved to tears that only such a miniscule percentage of this states citizens of color are able to share the Universitys greatness either as recipients or as providers or as designers A student Carl MabbsZeno identifying himself as spokesman for Idea Production Group a studentfaculty group of unspecified number criticized several aspects of President Davisons administration
The Board adopted a motion officially receiving the plan for the revised administrative structure The motion also
Referred the plan for Board committee and staff review and recommendation and for inclusion on the Boards January 1 112 meeting agenda for action
Expressed complete confidence in President Davison
Authorized President Davison to continue operating the University under the institutions present administrative structure pending disposition of the newly submitted plan for a revised structure
Removed a 90day contingency aspect of the appointment of the acting provost which the Board imposed at the same time it voted to require the University to submit a plan for a revised administrative structure for the institution This action made the appointment effective still on an acting basis for an indefinite period although the position of acting provost was placed in probable limbo by the submission of the plan for the revised administrative structure that would eliminate the position of provost
Commended the Universitys Special Task Force members headed by Acting Provost William Abbott Owens Jr and other personnel who worked on the development of alternative administrative structures for the thoroughness of their approach in arriving at their recommendations
Immediately preceding President Davisons submission of the plan for a revised administrative structure Acting Provost Owens summarized for the Board of Regents the various aspects of the development of alternative structures
Five alternative administrative structures including the one submitted by President Davison to the Board were shown in a slide presentation by Dr Owens
Provisions of Plan Submitted
Under the plan submitted to the Board
There would be created a new position of vice president for academic affairs which would be somewhat but not
10
The System Summary
altogether like a combination of the present offices of provost and vice president for instruction
There would be created a new position of rotating senior faculty advisor to the president whose primary duties would be to convey the views sentiments and opinions of the faculty directly to the president
There would be retained the present positions of vice president for business affairs vice president for development vice president for research and vice president for services
This structure would bring some decentralization of toplevel administration and would establish priority among vice presidents Acting Provost Owens explained It envisions the vice president for academic affairs as an internal secondincommand administrator he said
A chart of the proposed revised administrative structure shown to the Board by Dr Owens indicated
The vice president for academic affairs would report directly to the president
The vice president for business affairs and the vice president for development would report directly to the president
The vice president for research and the vice president for services would report to the president after giving the vice president for academic affairs notice of such intended action
The rotating senior faculty advisor would report directly to the president
Under the present administrative structure the provost operates from a highly centralized secondincommand position Four vice presidents for business affairs instruction research and services report directly to the provost who in turn reports to the president the vice president for development reports directly to the president
Dr Owens said he had been working since September 15 at the request of President Davison on the development of alternative administrative structures for the University The president from the beginning asked that consideration be given to the possibility of combining the offices of provost and vice president for instruction in the interest of streamlining our administrative structure since both of these offices were to be simultaneously vacant he added S William Pelletier vacated the office of provost on July 1 1976 and
Veterinary Associate Dean Named
John M Bowen has been appointed associate dean for research and graduate affairs and director of the Veterinary Medical Experiment Station in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia His appointment effective beginning on November 15 1976 was approved by the Board of Regents at the November meeting He will continue to hold the rank of professor of physiology and pharmacology
Dr Bowen who was born on March 23 1933 in Qunicy Massachusetts received the DVM degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Georgia and the PhD degree in physiologypharmacology from Cornell University He joined the faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia as an associate professor of physiology and pharmacology in 1963 He has served as a professor of physiology and pharmacology since 1969
William L Hays resigned as vice president for instruction during the summer effective beginning on December 31 1976
Dr Owens said that in the development of the alternative structures he solicited a very broad spectrum of the views and opinions of the University community Among the groups consulted he said were administrators including deans and vice presidents faculty members student leaders and experts on organizational structure and function
The objective was primarily to develop alternative structures from which the president would select one to recommend to the Board of Regents and only secondarily to seek faculty preferences among the structures developed Dr Owens explained
The structure submitted by President Davison to the Board was also the overwhelming choice of reviewers of various alternative structures Dr Owens said Among the reviewers favoring this structure were 11 members of a special 17member search committee which was made up of at least one member from each of the Universitys colleges and schools he added
In submitting the plan for a revised administrative structure President Davison fulfilled a month ahead of a deadline the requirement set down by the Board of Regents The Board at its October meeting approved after a twohour debate the appointment of Dr Owens as acting provost on thecondition that the University would be required to submit within 90 days apian acceptable to the Board for revision of the institutions administrative structure That action also stipulated that if the University did not submit such a plan within the specified period no later than the appropriate date in January the appointment ofthe acting provost would cease to be in effect at the end of that period
The Regents after a moderate amount of debate on the recommended appointment of an acting provost at their September meeting had deferred the matterto the October meeting The twomeeting debate on the appointment was focused not on the recommended appointee but instead on the future of the office of provost
Some Regents at the September and October meetings expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of clarity as to the intended future functions of the office of provost which had remained vacant since July 1 There was among them a contention that recurring public controversy centered on that office in recent years some of it discontent expressed by members of the Universitys faculty was sufficient reason to indicate that there should be a study to determine the future of the office That contention held that the study should be conducted before the designation of anyone to head the office of provost on any basis that the appointment of an acting provost would tend to perpetuate the office in its existing status
The Regents favoring going ahead with the appointment of the acting provost argued that such action was needed in the interest of administrative efficacy of the University They also pointed out that President Davison had indicated in asking for approval of the appointment of Dr Owens as acting provost that a major responsibility of the appointee would be to study the possible revision of the administrative structure including the office of provost of the University

Denying Leave for LegislatorElect Board Plans Policy
A Columbus College faculty members request for a twoyear leave of absence without pay to permit her to serve as a member of the General Assembly while continuing her college affiliation was denied by the Board of Regents at the December 78 meeting
The Board also agreed to consider at the January 1112 meeting the adoption of a policy pertaining to the seeking and the holding of public offices by employees of the University System Such a policy would apply to all employees of the System
The request for the twoyear leave of absence was made by Mary Jane Galer Columbus College associate professor and librarian Mrs Galer was elected to serve a twoyear term beginning in January 1977 as a member of the House of Representatives from the 97th District
Through agenda material for the December meeting Chancellor George L Simpson Jr told the Regents
Both Head Librarian Joel H Holmes and President Thomas Y Whitley of Columbus College do not think a twoyear leave of absence in such cases as this Mrs Galers is consistent with the best operation of the library at the college
The attorney general has ruled that Mrs Galer cannot both maintain her position at Columbus College and serve in the General Assembly
My view is that on balance the granting of a twoyear leave of absence in such cases as this would be inconsistent
with the attorney generals ruling
The attorney generals opinion on this matter was set forth in a letter to Chancellor Simpson on November 9 and copies were furnished to all the Regents The attorney generals letter was in response to a letter to him from the chancellor on October 19 citing the circumstances in the case of Mrs Galer
Mrs Galer a tenured faculty member declared on October 7 her intention to seek leave of absence for the 1977 and 1978 periods during which the General Assembly would be in session She requested on November 23 a leave of absence for the entire two years January 1 1977December 31 1978 for which she was elected to serve as a legislator
Mrs Galer won the Democratic Primary on August 10 and did not have opposition in the General Election on November 2 She was on leave of absence without pay from Columbus College while she campaigned in the Democratic Primary
Regent Milton Jones Columbus abstained in the Boards voting on Mrs Galers request for the leave of absence
