Salary Classification Continued from Page 3
whenever it the Hay Associates work is finished
The salary classification program is the second part of a comprehensive study by Hay Associates of University System job classifications and compensation structures The objective of this study Chancellor George L Simpson Jr explained is the definition of personnel compensation patterns which would ensure equity between University System employees and other state employees and which would provide a competitive and easily comprehensible compensation base for purposes of builtinsalaryincreases administration
A resolution in behalf of a venture of this type and an appropriation of 50000 to be applied thereto came out of the 1976 session of the General Assembly
The first part of the comprehensive study was analysis of pay of University System employees in all categories compared with pay of nonSystem employees in comparable jobs A report on that analysis presented to the Board of Regents in November set forth findings by Hay Associates of unfavorable levels of pay in all categories of employment in the University System
1 he salary classification program to be conducted under the agreement authorized by the Board of Regents in January will cost a maximum of 197460 with the exact cost to be determined by the amount of work required This maximum cost provides for consultation by Hay Associates during the first year of implementation of the program
Military Members Dependents Will Not Pay Nonresident Fee
Military personnel and their dependents stationed in Georgia and on active duty will be entitled to enroll as students in University System colleges and universities without being assessed a nonresident tuition fee the Board of Regents voted at the January 1 112 meeting
Such military personnel and dependents will be required however to pay the same fees that residents of Georgia are required to pay
This policy provision which was proposed by the Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee will become effective at the beginning of the 1977 summer quarter
The newly adopted policy provision does not require a durational residency for any of the affected military personnel or dependents to become eligible for treatment as a resident for the purpose of fee assessment The Boards policy requires that with some stated exceptions like this newest one voted at the January meeting a student must establish 12 months of bona fide residence in the state in order to be treated as a resident for the purpose of fee assessment

Thf System Summary
Boards Actions on Construction Covered Plans Funding
Steps to advance the construction of four previously authorized projects of the University System were taken by the Board of Regents at the January 1112 meeting They included approval of preliminary plans for a project at the University of Georgia and actions pertaining to the funding for two projects at Fort Valley State College and a project at Atlanta Junior College
Preliminary Plans
Preliminary plans for the Academic Building project at the University of Georgia with a project budget of 2736216 were approved The execution of a contract with Morris Hall and Peter Norris Atlanta for the development of final plans and specifications for this facility was also approved
This project which was authorized by the Board of Regents in June 1974 is designed to provide 78067 gross square feet of space in a new sixstory building It will contain 15 generalpurpose classrooms 5 lecturehall rooms and 3 large drafting rooms 15 faculty offices and a number of specialized rooms
The building will be located on the north campus of the University in the area immediately west of the Law School building and north of the College of Business Administration building to adjoin the existing Environmental Design building It will provide additional academic space for the School of Environmental Design and the College of Business Administration while providing at the same time academic facilities which will be adaptable to multiple uses according to an agenda item recommending the Regents approval of the preliminary plans
The scarcity of land in this particular part of the campus where there is the greatest need for additional academic facilities requires the use of a mediumrise building the Regents were also advised
Funding for Projects
A request to the Georgia Education Authority University to insert the Animal Technician Facility project at Fort Valley State College with a project budget of 135000 into a suitable academic bond issue of the authority was approved
Other actions taken by the Board of Regents in January regarding this project included
Rescission of the Boards November 1976 action authorizing the financing of the project from the account entitled Revenue FundProceeds of HEW Grants held in the depositary of the Georgia Education Authority University
Authorization of the conveyance of the site for the project to the Georgia Education Authority University and of the entering into an amendment to the lease agreement with the authority for the project
A request to the Georgia Education Authority University to enter into an agreement for the construction of the project under a reimbursement arrangement under which the authority will reimburse the Board of Regents for the contraction of the building with a provision that reimbursement will be made in increments of 50000
Approval of plans and specifications submitted by the
January 1977
architect for the project and of a directive for the vice chancellor for construction and physical plant to forward a set of these plans and specifications to the Georgia Education Authority University
The Animal Technician Facility project was authorized by the Board of Regents in November 1976 and financing of the project was arranged through the account entitled Revenue FundProceeds of HEW Grants held in the depositary of the Georgia Education Authority University However subsequent information from the Georgia Education Authority University indicates that there are insufficient funds in this account to finance the project an agenda item considered by the Regents at the January meeting indicated
The use of 36000 from the Construction Revolving Fund for the financing of the architectural contract for the Renovation of Old Library project at Fort Valley State College was approved
Also in the same action the Board rescinded its November 1976 action in which the use of funds in the account entitled Revenue FundProceeds of HEW Grants held in the depositary of the Georgia Education Authority University was authorized for the project
Subsequent to the November action the Board of Regents office was informed by the Georgia Education Authority University that the Revenue FundProceeds of HEW Grants account did not contain sufficient money to finance the architectural contract according to a staffprepared agenda item Therefore in order to continue with this design work we recommend that the design cost be placed in the Construction Revolving Fund which is the account maintained in the Georgia Education Authority University for the Board of Regents to finance architectural design the agenda item continued
A request to the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission to insert the Library project at Atlanta Junior College with a project budget of 2071755 into the combined unobligated balances of the Series 1974B and Series 1975B commission bond issues was approved
This action was authorized following a staff report to the Board of Regents on the University System building program during which the Regents were informed that there were unobligated balances in the Series 1974B and 1975B commission bond issues
This project was authorized by the Board of Regents in May 1974 and preliminary plans were approved by the Board in February 1976 It is designed to provide approximately 55500 square feet of space in a threestory structure of concrete and masonry Atlanta Junior College which is the only institution in the System without a library on its own premises has temporary library space located in a converted auditorium of the adjoining Atlanta Area VocationalTechnical School according to the Regents agenda material This temporary library is of course both limited and far under the acceptable standards of the accrediting agencies the agenda material continued
The bidding documents are complete on this project and it can be bid in a short period of time the Regents were also told

University Receives Approval For New Administrative Setup
A plan for a revised administrative structure for the University of Georgia was approved by the Board of Regents at the January 1112 meeting
This plan was submitted to the Board by University of Georgia President Fred C Davison at the Boards December meeting
It provides that
There will be created a position of vice president for academic affairs which will be somewhat but not altogether like a combination of two positions provost and vice president for instruction that will be discontinued The vice president for academic affairs will report directly to the president
The vice president for academic affairs is envisioned as an internal secondincommand administrator the Regents were told in December when the plan for a revised administrative structure was submitted to them
There will be created a position of rotating senior faculty advisor The person holding this new position will report directly to the president
There will be retained the present positions of vice president for business affairs vice president for development vice president for research and vice president for services
The vice president for business affairs and the vice president for development will report directly to the president
The vice president for research and the vice president for services also will report to the president but only after notifying the vice president for academic affairs of such intended action
Under the administrative structure that has been in effect at the University of Georgia for the past several years the provost operated from a highly centralized secondincommand position Four vice presidents for business affairs instruction research and services reported directly to the provost who in turn reported to the president the vice president for development reported directly to the president
Board Required Plan
The Board of Regents at the October meeting voted to require the University to submit within 90 days a plan for a revised administrative structure for the institution
In debate at the September and October meetings on the Universitys existing administrative structure some Regents strongly advocated study expressly to determine whether the office of provost which was created in 1969 should be either eliminated or combined into a single office with the office of vice president for instruction The office of provost had been vacant since July 1 1976 the vice president for instruction had resigned in the summer of 1976 effective as of December 31
The appointment of an acting provost William Abbott Owens Jr was approved by the Board in October Dr Owens headed a task force that developed several alternative administrative structures from which President Davison chose the one that he asked the Board to approve
No successor to the resigned vice president for instruction was appointed
REGENTS MEETING
January
A regular monthly meeting of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia was held at the office of the Board in Atlanta on January 1 112
The purchase of property in Statesboro for use by Georgia Southern College was approved
The property consisting of approximately 27 acres of land containing eight dormitory buildings a swimming pool and a laundry building is located adjacent to the college It will be purchased from Holiday Inn Inc for 350000 provided that the purchase price of 350000 is equal to or less than the average of three independent appraisals the Regents action stipulated
The dormitory buildings contain 900 beds The replacement value of these buildings would be more than ten times greater than the purchase price but some repairs would be needed the Regents were told
In connection with the authorization for the purchase of the property the Regents also
Requested the Georgia Education Authority University to establish a project for the property with a project budget of 630000 to be made up of 350000 for the purchase price 200000 for repairs 50000 for loose equipment and 30000 for contingency
Requested the GEAU to insert this project into the remaining unallocated balances of the GEAU housing bond issues
Authorized the conveyance of the site of the project to the GEAU
Authorized the execution of an amendment to the lease agreement with the GEAU for the project
The property is needed by Georgia Southern College for use as dormitory facilities according to an agenda item recommending the purchase Georgia Southern had 2304 dormitory beds available for use in the 1976 fall quarter and had dormitoryspace applications from 2614 students the agenda item also indicated
The Regents were also told
The excess need over capacity was accommodated by renting private dormitories This same situation existed in the fall of 1975 to a slightly lesser degree

2 The use of System materials supplies equipment machinery or vehicles in political campaigns is forbidden
The policy was adopted by the Board of Regents as proposed in a staffprepared agenda item
Origin of Policy Proposal
The Board agreed at the December meeting to consider at the January meeting the adoption of a policy pertaining to the seeking and the holding of political offices by University System employees That agreement coincided with the Boards denial of a request for a leave of absence for an employee recently elected a member of the General Assembly
The Board denied at the December meeting a request by Mary Jane Galer tenured associate professor and librarian at Columbus College for a twoyear leave of absence from the college without pay Mrs Galer was elected in November to serve a twoyear term in the Georgia House of Representatives beginning in January 1977 and she requested that the Board grant her a leave of absence without pay from the college for that entire term
Chancellor George L Simpson Jr told the Board that the attorney general had ruled that Mrs Galer could not both maintain her position at Columbus College and serve in the General Assembly He also stated that both the head librarian and the president of Columbus College did not think that a twoyear leave of absence in such cases as Mrs Galers would be consistent with the best operation of the library at the college

Amended Travel Regulations Provide Tips Reimbursement
Amendments to the policy of the Board of Regents pertaining to travel regulations to provide for the reimbursement of tips which had not been allowed previously were approved by the Board of Regents at the April 1213 meeting
A new provision Number 6 under ATransportation was added the text of which is When tips are deemed necessary in the course of travel by any of the above modes they may be reimbursed as travel
An existing provision Number 2Meals under BSubsistence was revised The test of this revised provision is Reimbursement will be made for the actual cost of meals including tips within reasonable limitations Charges in excess of a reasonable rate shad carry an explanation of the conditions justifying the charge Requests for reimbursement shall be limited to the cost of meals for the individual employee in a travel status Costs for meals which logically could be taken before departure or after return from travel status will not be allowed Lunch expense will not be allowed when absence from official headquarters does not exceed three hours The only revision in this provision was the addition of the words including tips in the first sentence
Another existing provision Number 3 under CMiscellaneous Expenses was also revised The text ofthis revised provision is Expenditures for entertainment laundry valet service and other similar personal expenses cannot be reimbursed However tips rendered in response to services provided an employee while on travel status may be reimbursed since reasonable tips are a consideration related to service and are not therefore considered to be a gratuity The text of the superseded provision was Expenditures for entertainment laundry gratuities valet service and other similar personal expenses cannot be reimbursed
These amendments were recommended in order to be consistent with an opinion of the attorney general that reasonable tips for services are not gratuities and may be borne by the Department according to information presented to the Regents in an agenda item
Regents Agree to Handle Grants for Proposed Medical School
The Board of Regents will facilitate the awarding of capitation grants to a medical school at Mercer University in Macon in the event such a school is established the Board voted at the April 1213 meeting
The action authorized the execution at the proper time of an agreement between the Board of Regents and the Southern Regional Education Board for awarding capitation grants that may be provided for Georgia residents admitted to the school The vote to enter into such an agreement was taken at the request of Cloyd K Hall Mercer Universitys vice president for medical school development Chancellor George L Simpson Jr reported that Dr Hall had requested in a letter in March that the Board of Regents give favorable consideration to a petition by Mercer for the proposed medical school to
receive through the Board full capitation grants for all Georgia residents admitted to the school
It is anticipated that the capitation grants that would be handled under the newly authorized agreement would be of the same type as those now made from state funds through the Board of Regents to Emory University Medical School in Atlanta the Regents were told The grants to the Emory school are handled through an agreement between the Board of Regents and the Southern Regional Education Board

Distribution of Pay Raises
A resolution authorizing the plan to be used in distributing pay increases to University System academic and nonacademic employees for the 197778 fiscal year was adopted by the Board of Regents at the April 1213 meeting
The raises averaging 9Vi percent on a University Systemwide basis will be provided with 24716000 included for that purpose in the state appropriation to the University System for the 197778 fiscal year
The text of the Boardadopted resolution setting forth how the payraise money is to be distributed is
The Board of Regents recognizes the desirability of preserving the basic concept of true merit or performancebased salary increases as an important aspect of continued quality improvement within the University System At the same time the Board recognizes the unusual aspects of the current sustained inflationary period and appreciates the impact which this has had on each employee These considerations together with the specific Appropriations Bill language that each nonacademic employee should receive no less than a 500 position increase leads the Board to the following policy for the distribution of the 9Vi percent salary increase funds available for the 197778 fiscal year
Subject to the specific implementation considerations presented below all employees are to receive acrosstheboard salary or wage increments as follows
Position index increase of 25 percent and Costofliving increase of 35 percent
Set by Resolution of Board
As a further consideration the remaining 35 percent is to be distributed on the basis of merit
The acrosstheboard component of these salary increase funds may be applied or withheld at the presidents discretion in those instances in which
A The initial employment date for any individual occurred during the twelvemonth interval prior to July I 1977
B The employee received a salary increase during the twelvemonth interval prior to July 1 1977
C The employee is providing service precedent to planned termination during the 197778 fiscal year
D The employee is considered already fully compensated for his or her position responsibilities and value to the System provided however that item D shall only apply to the 35 percent acrosstheboard portion of the increase
None of the preceding exceptions are to be construed in a manner which would prevent a regular fulltime nonacademic employee from receiving a minimum increase of 500
The resolution was recommended to the Board by the Boards Committee on Finance and Business Operations The Board defeated a motion to delete the authorization for the president to withold the percent acrosstheboard costofliving portion of the increase for an employee considered already fully compensated for his or her position responsibilities and value to the System

Children Interpretation
A STATEMENT REGARDING INTERPRETATION of a phrase in the insuring agreement of the University System of Georgia Employee Health Benefit Plan pertaining to unmarried children was adopted by the Board of Regents at the May 1011 meeting
The text of the statement is
The phrase in the insuring agreement which reads your unmarried children shall include those children placed in the employees home by a licensed adoption agency who are living in the home in a normal parentchild relationship and who are wholly dependent upon the employee for support and for whom the employee is contractually obligated to provide medical care and treatment
In a report supporting the request for approval of the statement the Regents were told
In the past the phrase your unmarried children has been more literally interpreted It has been normal practice for there to be no coverage for an adopted child until the legal procedure has been completed Similarly any child living in the home of an employee was not covered unless legal custody for the child had been established by the employee Currently there are three employees at Georgia Tech who have children in their homes who are not legally adopted but for whom the employee has assumed the responsibility for medical care through a contractual arrangement with a licensed adoption agency The action recommended here is the result of that situation and represents reaction to a specific situation

In a staffprepared request for the action the Regents were told
This action will exclude elective cosmetic surgery from coverage under the group health and hospital insurance plan We do not know to what extent these instances have affected claims experience We do know that some purely cosmetic surgery costs have been paid since no such exclusion now exists eg hair transplants face uplifts silicone injections etc

The Board of Regents had been advised prior to the May meeting that the Horace Mann Insurance Company had given notice that it did not intend to renew the present policy In a report to the Board at the March meeting Henry G Neal executive secretary stated that the action taken by Horace Mann was based on decisions concerning corporate goals and was not affected by adverse loss experience under the policy Mr Neal also told the Board in the March report that the company felt that it was no longer in position to market the current program of liability insurance to institutions of higher education
Mr Neal and Shealy E McCoy vice chancellor for fiscal affairstreasurer said in reports to the Board at the May meeting that their efforts to obtain an acceptable comparable policy with another company had been unsuccessful
The Board authorized the development in conjunction with the State Department of Administrative Services of a shortrange professional liability insurance program for University System personnel to become effective on July 1 1977 This program would be developed on a selfinsurance basis with suitable excess coverage provided by a commercial carrier to be administered by the Department of Administrative Services the Board indicated
The Board also authorized negotiations with Towers Perrin Forster and Crosby Philadelphiabased insurance consulting firm in the development of an agreement under which the firm will design a longrange professional liability insurance program for University System personnel Such a program would be designed on a selfinsurance basis the Board indicated
The Board further authorized the deposit with the Department of Administrative Services of approximately 500000 of the University Systems 197677 fiscal year funds to provide initial funding for selfinsurance
Selfinsurance as an alternative means of professional liability insurance coverage for University System personnel had been under discussion by the Board of Regents and the Board s staff prior to the May meeting It was reviewed extensively at the May meeting
Selfinsurance legislation passed by the 1977 session of the General Assembly authorizes state agencies including the Board of Regents to formulate sound programs of selfinsurance indemnifying officers officials or employees to the extent they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith

The donor of this fund Mr Felix Hargrett has now proposed two new agreements with the Regents as trustee One agreement establishes the Hargrett Georgia Library The second agreement would supersede and replace the 1971 trust agreement as amended The name of the trust would be changed to the Hargrett Library Fund and the agreement would provide that all income would be added to the corpus until it reaches 100000 at which point twothirds of the income would be made available each fiscal year for additions to the newly established Hargrett Georgia Library The corpus of the fund is now 6991317

Only Georgia residents who would find it difficult or impossible to attend college without financial assistance are eligible to receive Regents 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
Most Regents Scholarships are awarded for a period of one academic year but some are awarded for shorter periods of time Students may apply for renewal of their scholarships
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
All Regents Scholarships are awarded by the institutions subject to approval of the Board of Regents All applications are made to the institutions

MODIFICATION OF DESEGREGATION PLAN STARTED
The Board of Regents in July initiated steps to prepare by the first week in September a revised plan for desegregation of the University System of Georgia in accordance with a federal directive
Staff members of the Board and members of a committee of the Board will draft the revised plan
The Board will hold at least one special meeting before September 1 the date or dates of which had not been determined as of the last week of July to review the draft of the revised plan and to take whatever action the Regents consider appropriate for the document
This course grew out of the Regents discussions of the directive for the revised plan on two occasions the first day of the regular meeting on July 1213 and a special meeting on July 27
Chancellor George L Simpson Jr and Vice Chancellor John W Hooper at both the meetings reviewed the various aspects of the University Systems desegregation commitments and activities
The revised plan was called for by the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW in a July 2 1977 letter received in the Board of Regents office on July 5 The letter which was addressed to Governor George Busbee stipulated that the revised plan must be submitted to HEW within 60 days Responsibility for responding to the letter was accepted by the
Board of Regents as the governing body for all stateoperated higher education in Georgia
The HEW letter was signed by David S Tatel director of the Office for Civil Rights The desegregation plans accepted by HEW in 1974 for the public higher education systems in Georgia and five other states in the South Arkansas Florida North Carolina Oklahoma and Virginia were found by the US District Court for the District of Columbia in an order entered on April 1 1977 to be not adequate to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Mr Tatel said
The court order also required HEW to issue criteria specifying the ingredients of an acceptable higher education desegregation plan Mr Tatel explained
The court order was entered in connection with the lawsuit Kenneth Adams et al plaintiffs v the Secretary of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare et al defendants This suit frequently referred to as the Adams Case was filed in
1970

Scholarships for 73 Georgians
Regents Scholarships totaling 35584 awarded to 73 residents of Georgia for study at 12 units of the University System were approved by the Board of Regents at the July 1213 meeting
The institutions awarding the scholarships and the number and the amount of the scholarships at each institution are
Georgia Institute of Technology 9 6600 Southern Technical Institute fouryear division of the Georgia Institute of Technology 3 2000 Georgia State University 3 750 University of Georgia 25 15000 Albany State College 12 2800 Augusta College 1 165 Columbus College 4 2370 Georgia Southwestern College 4 900 North Georgia College 2 434 Clayton Junior College 4 1490 Dalton Junior College 1 225 and South Georgia College 5 2750
The scholarships were awarded for use in the 1977 summer quarter and in the 197778 academic year
Recipients of the scholarships include 19 freshmen 21 sophomores 22 juniors and 11 seniors
Activity Athletic Fees
A new structure of student activity and athletic fees at Georgia Southern College in effect increasing the charges for these purposes by 2 per quarter was approved by the Board of Regents at the July 1213 meeting
The new structure which will become effective at the beginning of the 1977 fall quarter provides for fees totaling 22 per quarter an activity fee of 14 and an athletic fee of 8 These two fees will replace the present single activity fee of 20 per quarter
The Georgia Southern College request for the new structure in the same form in which it was approved at the July meeting was presented for the first time to the Board of Regents at the June meeting The request was deferred from the June meeting for additional background information
Retirementat67 Reaffirmed Policy is Still Under Study
Retention in the Board of Regents policy of the comp1 lsory retirement age of 67 for University System employee was affirmed by the Board at the July 1213 meeting The ction followed study by a Board committee over a onemonth pe od of the compulsoryretirementage provision
Continued study during the next year by the Boards st if of this provision was also stipulated in the action
Both the retention of the age67 provision of the policy and the continued study of the provision were recommended b the Boards Committee on Organization and Law of which Regent James D Maddox Rome is chairman The Board at the June 1977 meeting requested the committee to review the provision The Board at that meeting also received and deferred action on a request from I E Saporta professor of architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology to take action that would waive for him the age67 provision The request was for a review of a notification by Georgia Institute of Technology President Joseph M Pettit that the provision would not be waived for Mr Saporta
The Board at the July 1213 meeting after adopting the committee recommendation to retain the age67 provision voted to deny Mr Saportas request for action that would have waived for him the provision
The compulsory retirement age of 67 in the Board of Regents policy has been challenged by several University System employees The compulsory retirement age of 70 years included in the Teachers Retirement System law is one of the principal factors in the University System employees challenges
The compulsoryretirementage provision of the Board of Regents policy stipulates All employees of the University System subject to provisions of the Teachers Retirement Law shall retire at the end of the fiscal year during which they reach the age of 67
Contract Food Service
The securing of contract food service for Fort Valley State College was authorized by the Board of Regents at the July 1213 meeting
The action gave Fort Valley State President Cleveland W Pettigrew authority to solicit proposals for such service It also gave President Pettigrew the power to execute an agreement with the contractor submitting the best proposal as judged by himself and the treasurer of the Board of Regents
The contract as it was authorized by the Board to be solicited and executed would provide food service in the dining hall and the snack bar and a fullline vending service at the opening of the 1977 fall quarter
President Pettigrew advises that he believes the time is right to convert the Fort Valley State College food service operation from a collegeoperated service to a contractoperated service the Regents were told This move will serve to insulate the college from any financial loss in connection with its food service snack bar and vending operations
Contract food service similar to that authorized for Fort Valley State College already is in operation at some other University System institutions

The System Summarv
Desegregation Continued from Front Cover
submit a revised plan under the most recent directive are in various stages of disposition
Georgia like the other states for which the revised plan is now required has not ever been named a defendant in the suit All the several desegregation plans developed for the University System of Georgia in the I970s by the Board of Regents in connection with the suit have been submitted in response to directives from HEW
The July 2 1977 letter from HEW set forth criteria for the preparation of revised desegregation plans by the six states The same criteria for the preparation of the revised plans were sent to each of the six states Vice Chancellor Hooper reported to the Regents at the July 1213 meeting
Neither the court order on which the HEW directive for the revised plans were based nor the HEW directive itself set forth specific deficiency of Georgias 1974 desegregation plan Dr Hooper also reported
The Board of Regents approved and submitted to HEW in June 1974 a document entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia That plan was accepted by HEW on July 19 1974 and detailed semiannual reports setting forth desegregation performance of the University System have been made to HEW since January 1975
Prior to developing the plan that was accepted in 1974 the Board of Regents submitted to HEW on that agencys directives a number of comprehensive interim plans for desegregation of the University System The interim plans were not rejected by HEW but they were returned by that agency with requests for adjustments
Until recent months it had been felt that the Systems performance under the 1974 desegregation plan was satisfactory to HEW Dr Hooper told the Regents In April the Office for Civil Rights gave written notice that an order for a revised desegregation plan for the System based on the finding of the federal court would be forthcoming he explained
During the period since the University System of Georgias 1974 plan was accepted HEW has responded to the Systems performance only once Dr Hooper told the Regents In that response HEW asked for amplification on a number of objectives and the System promptly supplied the information requested he said
Tenure for 2 Faculty Members
Granting of tenure to two faculty members at the Georgia Institute of Technology was authorized by the Board of Regents at the July 1213 meeting
The new status effective beginning in the 197778 fiscal year has been granted to Robert Berton Evans assistant professor of mechanical engineering and Huey Neal Nunnally assistant professor of electrical engineering
T1 e recommendations for tenure for these faculty members ha been reviewed and meet the criteria for tenure as set forth in the policies of the Board of Regents the Regents were
advied
Tenure for 339 faculty members at 26 institutions of the Uni rsity System was approved by the Board of Regents in May 197 to become effective in the 197778 fiscal year

I The president of each institution may authorize the use of institution facilities for political speeches However such use shall be limited to meetings sponsored by recognized organizations of the institution and shall be held only at places designated by the president
2 The use of System materials supplies equipment machinery or vehicles in political campaigns is forbidden
Text of Former Policy
The full text of the former policy superseded by the July 1213 action was
A Employees
As responsible and interested citizens in a democratic society employees of the University System are encouraged to fulfill their civic obligations and otherwise engage in the normal political processes of society Nevertheless it is inappropriate for System personnel to manage or enter political campaigns while on duty to perform services for the System or to hold state or federal office while employed by the System Therefore the following policies governing political activities are hereby adopted
I Employees may not manage or take an active part in a political campaign while on duty to perform services for which he or she receives compensation from the System
2 Employees may not hold public or political office at the state or federal level
3 Employees seeking political office at the state or federal level must first request a leave of absence without pay beginning prior to announcement of candidacy or campaigning and ending after the general or final election If elected to state or federal office such person must resign prior to assuming office
4 Employees may seek and hold elective or appointive office at other than the state or federal level when authorized to do so by the president of an institution and when candidacy for or holding of the office does not conflict or interfere with the employees duties and responsibilities to the institution or the System
B Use of Property in Political Campaigns
I The president of each institution may authorize the use of institution facilities for political speeches However such use shall be limited to meetings sponsored by recognized organizations of the institution and shall be held only at places designated by the president
2 The use of System materials supplies equipment machinery or vehicles in political campaigns is forbidden
The basic new wording of the revised policy was worked out by the Boards Committee on Organization and Law with Regent James D Maddox Rome as chairman during the several weeks immediately preceding the July 1213 meeting Some of the new wording however was agreed upon at the July meeting
Almost ever since the adoption of the nowsuperseded policy in January some members of the Board of Regents have indicated that they thought the measure should be reconsidered to determine whether it should be revised Also that policy drew some challenge from within the ranks of University System employees

BOARD RESPONDS TO HEW ON DESEGREGATION PLAN
A revised plan for further desegregation of the University System of Georgia made up of a combination of old and new measures was adopted by the Board of Regents at a special meeting in Atlanta on August 26
The action was the Boards interim response to guidelines or criteria contained in a US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW directive It was recommended by a special committee of five Board members with Milton Jones Columbus as chairman
The revised plan as summarized in an introductory statement includes both current processes proven to be effective and specific additional steps which will be taken by the University System of Georgia in its efforts toward the achievement of full desegregation of the University System
The revised plan contains a response to every guideline It details progress already made in recent years toward achieving some major objectives called for in the guidelines and projects additional desegregation impact in the guideline areas It does not however contain a commitment to reach a precise mark in enrollment graduations student body or faculty composition employment composition or any other matter dealt with in the guidelines It indicates The Board of Regents acknowledges that aspect of the guidelines

The budgets for the 32 teaching institutions all the universities senior colleges and junior colleges and other units and programs of the University System of Georgia for the 197778 fiscal year total 514567712 This amount for the 12month period that began on July 1 1977 is 54877333 I 19 percent more than 459690379 budgeted for the University System in the 197677 fiscal year
The 197778 budgets were approved by the Board of Regents at the May and June meetings The budget figures for both fiscal years include authorized expenditures of actual state appropriations and of anticipated internal income from student fees and all other sources except auxiliary enterprises at the beginning of each of these years
The consolidated budget figures were prepared in the office of the vice chancellor for fiscal affairs and treasurer
State Appropriation
The state appropriation authorized by the 1977 General Assembly and allocated by the Board of Regents accounts for 323653220 of the total amount budgeted for 197778 This amount is 38495541 135 percent more than the state appropriation of 285157679 authorized for 197677
The state appropriation accounts for 628 percent of the total amount budgeted for 197778 compared with 620 percent of the total amount budgeted for 197677
The state appropriation amounts for 197677 and 197778 reflect only the amounts of general appropriations provided by the General Assembly to become effective at the beginning of these fiscal years The 197677 amount was changed after the budgets were approved to include a supplemental appropriation by the 1977 General Assembly
The supplemental appropriation for the 197677 fiscal year totaled 470000
Internal Income
Anticipated internal income accounts for 190914492 of the 197778 budgets This amount is 16381792 94 percent more than 174532700 anticipated for the 197677 budgets

Board Responds Continued from Front Cover which emphasizes that projections are not quotas
This Responsibility Cannot be Abdicated
The revised plan set forth in a 1 inchthick document entitled A Plan tor the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia also indicates
The Board of Regents regards the projections contained in this document as reasonable objectives based upon all factors available for consideration
This plan cannot completely address in the highly structured framework ot the guidelines some of the very broad general problems associated with the provision of increased educational opportunity for students of all races
The fundamental educational decisions implicit in the furtherance of all of Georgias public higher education are necessarily the responsibility ot the Board of Regents This responsibility cannot be abdicated in the pursuit of externally defined statistical objectives
The revised plan document was to be transmitted by Chancellor George l Simpson Jr to David S Tatel director of the HEW Office for Civil Rights by September I It was described therein as
an interim document subject to further analysis and refinement The Board of Regents w ill be permitted to file supplemental materials until October 1 The Office for Civil Rights is scheduled to approve or reject the plan by January 1
Commitment Exceeds Revised Plan Mandate
The document contains a commitment for the Board of Regents to pursue the matter of desegregation within the University System beyond the provisions adopted at the August 26 meeting It pledges the appointment ot a Special Regents Committee on Desegregation to handle a wide range of tasks in giving that additional attention
The document indicates
The Board of Regents recognizes that it has more than a legal responsibility in its efforts to contribute to the achievement of true desegregation of the University System ot Georgia Continuing Board contributions to the resolution of subtle often illdefined problems of discrimination both w ithin and external to the System will be made on a comprehensive basis This commitment is made in specific recognition of the fact that while substantial results have been achieved in desegregation efforts of the past full realization ot the potential of the University System has not yet been achieved Processes and structures in place which have proven successful must be strengthened while additional approaches are developed to meet newly defined educationally oriented needs
The commitment ot the Board of Regents to complete elimination ot all vestiges ot a formerly dual system of public higher education in Georgia far exceeds the direct or implied mandate of specific legislation or guidelines addressed in this plan
Committees Responsibility Described
The Special Regents Committee on Desegregation will be charged with the responsibility for an ongoing review of not only progress made under the plan but also the identification of possible problem areas and the discussion of broad academic matters to the extent that such matters potentially affect the desegregation process the document also indicates The committee will further be charged with the responsibility for the assessment of representative public views related to the implemen
More on Revised Plan in September
A summary of some of the major provisions of the document A Pian for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents on August 26 will he included in the September issue of The System Summary
tation of the plan and the wider aspects of the desegregation process it further indicates
The revised plan was requested by HEW on July 2 in response to a federal court order to be submitted w ithin 60 days The HEW request set forth guidelines of desegregation objectives to be reached w ithin the next five years The revised plan is supposed to replace a plan also entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia which has been in effect ever since mid1974 when it was adopted by the Board of Regents and approved by HEW
Much of 1974Approved Plan in Revised Plan
The threeyearold plan currently effective and all semiannual reports thereon submitted to HEW by the Board of Regents should be considered as supplemental materials in support of the revised plan the revised plan document indicates Only a portion of the previously submitted materials the currently effective plan and the reports thereon was restated in the revised pan however the reused materials updated and otherwise modified as appropriate to respond to guidelines furnished by HEW on July 2 make up a substantial majority of the revised plan New materials were added as needed to respond to the guidelines
Background on Revised Plan
The HEW request for the revised plan for further desegregation of the University System of Georgia was required by an order of the US District Court of the District of Columbia The desegregation plans accepted by HEW in 1974 for systems of higher education in Georgia and five other states in the South Arkansas Florida North Carolina Oklahoma and Virginia were found by the District Court in an order entered on April I 1977 to be not adequate to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the HEW reported in requesting the revised plans
The District Court order also required HEW to issue criteria or guidelines specifying the ingredients of an acceptable higher education desegregation plan the HEW request also indicated
The criteria or guidelines which accompanied the July 2 letter from HEW were the same for all six of the states

The System Summary
fivemember committee recommended document
The revised document A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents at a special meeting on August 26 was recommended to the Board by a committee of five Regents
Members of the committee who were appointed by Board Chairman Charles T Oxford Albany are Milton Jones Columbus chairman Scott Candler Jr Decatur Rufus B Coody Vienna Erwin A Friedman Savannah and Elridge W McMillan Atlanta
The plan was adopted by the Board without debate or modification and without dissent from the 13 Board members on hand at the August 26 meeting Board members O Torbitt Ivey Jr and David H Tisinger were absent from the meeting Copies of the preliminary and final drafts of the plan had been sent to all Board members by August 22
Regent Jones told the Board that the committee held three oneday meetings on August 10 17 and 19 for public and committee discussion and committee preparation of revised drafts He also said that the committee met with Governor George Busbee and US Department of Health Education and Welfare officials
Public Discussion at all Committee Meetings
The working format and the sequence of proceedings for each of tbe three meetings he said consisted of the presentation of a preliminary draft and explanatory remarks by Vice Chancellor John W Hooper discussion between the committee and the public and committee discussion revision and adoption of the drafts on the agenda All the committee meetings including those drafting sessions at which discussion was limited to that of committee and staff members were open to the public
Vice Chancellor Hooper assisted by other members of the staff of Chancellor George L Simpson Jr prepared the preliminary drafts and the revised drafts reflecting changes made by the committee
We members of the committee said a lot of things that I m sure that some of the public did not agree with Regent Jones said in reporting to the Board on the publichearing aspect of the committees deliberations A lot of the things that some of the public said we didnt necessarily agree with But thats good thats healthy in a
free society and I just hope we had a meaningful dialogue
Neither Year One Nor the Millennium
The committee chairman said that a statement made by Vice Chancellor Hooper during the committee proceedings This is neither Year One nor the Millennium aptly described the desegregation situation of the University System
We have come a long way and thats good he continued but no one is going to say that weve come far enough There s still much to do In certain areas and in certain statistics we look good but there are other areas where rather forceful and immediate attention needs to be brought to bear
Regent Jones also told the Board
In short we have a draft which uses the 1974 plan previously submitted to HEW by this Board as a base or a starting point and 1 make no apology for that because significant progress has been achieved under that plan
Dots Plan Meet HEW Guidelines
I realize that the obvious question of the Regents and the public might be Does this plan meet the HEW guidelines I suggest that thats a question that in the final analysis will have to be answered by HEW I will say that it should meet their criteria for it was prepared in good faith but it was also prepared with an eye on sound educational principles The committee feels that further desegregation in the University System of Georgia can be accomplished with no violence to educational quality and that there is no inherent inconsistency between these two desirable goals To the extent that this is true this plan does meet adequately the guidelines
We do not on this committee view this revised plan as something that we are doing just because we were made to do it We should do it because it is right and because it needs to be done
The revised plan was recommended by the committee for adoption by the Board as an interim document subject to modification if the Board approves after it is submitted to HEW the committee chairman emphasized
The committee though appointed expressly to come up with a recommended revised plan for further desegregation has not been dismissed Board Chairman Oxford said near the close of the August 26 meeting Several Board members who did not serve on the committee made laudatory statements about the committees performance
Excerpts from the Revised Plan for Further Desegregation
Some excerpts from the Introduction to the revised document A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents on August 26 are
i his document together with all supportive materials is provided in response to the letter and attendant guidelines of Mr David S Tatel director Office for Civil Rights US Department of Health Education and Welfare dated July 2 1977 It represents a plan detailing both current processes proven to be effective and specific additional steps which will be taken by the University System of Georgia in its efforts toward the achievement of full desegregation of the University System The predecessor plan dated June 1 1974 and semiannual progress reports numbers through VI filed under that plan should be considered as
supplemental materials in support of this document
This document prepared under the direction of the Regents of the University System of Georgia represents a single comprehensive statewide plan involving all aspects of University System institution operations All policies and procedures described are applicable on a Systemwide basis However specific reference is made to unique opportunities and problems of individual institutions where such reference is felt to be informative
It should be especially noted that this plan represents only one step in the evolutionary efforts by the Board of Regents directed toward the necessarily nebulous objective of elimination of all vestiges of a formerly dual system This plan was prepared during a

very short time interval as mandated by the guidelines It represents the best review possible under these severe time contraints of the present status of University System desegregation the effectiveness of processes in force and the definition of projected future actions It should therefore be considered as an interim document subject to further analysis and refinement
Through presentation of this plan the Board of Regents commits itself to a continue the momentum of further desegregation of the University System that has characterized the operation of the present plan b take all additional steps productive of further desegregation consistent with sound principles and practices of higher education
The Board of Regents interprets its responsibility under its constitutional duty under court orders in force and under governmental administrative directives in force to be to provide all the University Systems programs and services without discrimination for or against any person on the basis of race sex color age religion or national origin These programs and services include but are not limited to admission to and continuance in courses of instruction and all aspects of employment
All materials submitted in this document are prefaced by the specific observation that the University System is neither now nor has been in recent years operated in a manner discriminatory toward any minority group All institutions operate with entrance requirements designed to meet the specific academic needs of the institution and apply those requirements without regard to race color age religion sex or national origin of the applicant Students disadvantaged in either a material or educational sense are provided with financial aid and remedial studies programs designed to compensate to the greatest extent possible for their previous conditions Faculty professional staff and support personnel are all recruited hired and advanced under the basic precepts of positive affirmative action University System building programs have been accomplished with the specific objective of meeting the needs of all the citizens of the State of Georgia and a thorough study of construction patterns will show that they are nondiscriminatory in nature In summary good faith has been and is being practiced in all aspects of the operations of the University System of Georgia
The Board of Regents recognizes that it has more than a legal responsibility in its efforts to contribute to the achievement of true desegregation of the University System of Georgia Continuing Board contributions to the resolution of subtle often illdefined problems of descrimination both within and external to the System will be made on a comprehensive basis This commitment is made in specific recognition of the fact that while substantial results have been achieved in desegregation efforts of the past full realization of the potential of the University System has not yet been achieved Processes and structures in place which have proven successful must be strengthened w hile additional approaches are developed to meet newly defined educationally oriented needs

Signups Initial Classes Out On Major Religious Holidays
A policy pertaining to scheduling of quarterly registrations and firstday classes in University System colleges and universities was adopted by the Board of Regents at the special meeting on August 26 It will become effective for the beginning of the 1978 w inter quarter
The text of this policy listed under Section C3 of the policies of the Board is
Institutions in the System shall not schedule quarterly registration or the first day of classes on dates which conflict with major religious holidays
Through an agenda item proposing adoption of the policy the Regents were told
In the past some conflicts have arisen between quarterly registration and the opening day of classes and the observance of religious holidays by students and faculty This policy is designed to insure that institutions will make every effort to avoid such conflicts in the future To this end institutions will be urged to be mindful of this policy in the preparation of their catalogues for the coming years
Next Meeting on September 15
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has scheduled its next regular monthly meeting for September 15 The meeting which will begin at 10 a m will be held at the office of the Board 244 Washington Street SW Atlanta

The CEU used by all University System institutions as a standard for identifying and reporting nondegree continuing education activities of individuals and institutions is defined as 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education activity under responsible sponsorship capable direction and qualified instruction
Some of the reported programs were not offered for CEU credit also some of the programs that were offered for CEU credit were conducted jointly by two or more institutions and the awarding of CEUs was shared by the participating institutions
The number of participants for each program reported represents the total number of registrations and it does not necessarily reflect the number of persons participating For example one person registered in two different programs during a report period would be counted as two participants

Further Desegregation of the University System 1977
A SUMMARY OF THE REVISED PLAN
The Background
A revised Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia was adopted by the Board of Regents on August 26 1977
That action responded toaUS Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW directive received by the Board of Regents on July 2 The directive contained guidelines for the preparation of the revised Plan and set time limits of 60 days for the Board to prepare and transmit the plan to HEW and an additional 120day period for HEW to approve or reject the plan
The revised Plan was recommended to the Board of Regents by a special committee of five Board members headed by Milton Jones Columbus which held three allday meetings each of which included a drafting period and a publicdiscussion period The adopted document was signed by Board of Regents Chairman Charles T Oxford and Governor George Busbee as required by the HEW directive It was transmitted to HEW on September 2
In transmitting the revised Plan to HEW University System Chancellor George L Simpson Jr wrote
This Plan in spite of the short time available has been worked at with great seriousness and intensity by the Board of Regents in conjunction with all elements of the University System Several lengthy public meetings were held for the expression of a wide variety of opinion In the words of the Plan The Board of Regents recognizes that it has more than a legal responsibility in its efforts to contribute to the achievement of true desegregation of the University System of Georgia
In overall numbers the projections contained in our Plan are generally on the order of those numbers suggested as goals by the guidelines I hey grew out ot our recent experience and our view of the dynamics of the future Quoting the Plan again The Board of Regents regards the projections contained in this document as reasonable objectives based upon all factors available for consideration However also quoting the Plan again The fundamental educational decisions implicit in the furtherance of all of Georgias public higher education are necessarily the responsibility of the Board of Regents This responsibility cannot be abdicated in the pursuit ot externally defined statistical objectives
The same HEW directive tor the revised desegregation plans with the same guidelines was issued to Arkansas Florida Georgia North Carolina Oklahoma and Virginia in conformity with an order from the US District Court for the District of Columbia This district court ruled on April 1 that the plans of these six states accepted by HEW in 1974 were found to be not adequate to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 The court also ordered HEW to obtain new plans and to issue guidelines for such plans
This district court in a lawsuit filed in 1970 Kenneth Adams et al plaintiffs v the Secretary of HEW et al defendants widely known as The Adams Case has continually reviewed HEWs efforts to desegregate public higher education in several Southern states
The Contents
The revised Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents in August 1977 is summarized in a special report beginning on this page and ending on Page 26
The revised Plan is a combination of some new measures and some continuing measures that are reaffirmed and updated elements of a previously implemented plan The earlier plan was approved by the Board of Regents and accepted by the US Department of Health Education and Welfare in mid1974
The summary of the recently adopted revised Plan including US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW guidelines and Board of Regents responses thereto is
I
Disestablishment of the Structure of the Dual System
HEW DIRECTIVE
An acceptable plan shall commit the state to the goal of organizing and operating the system and institutions of higher education in a manner that promises realistically to overcome the effects of past discrimination and to disestablish the dual system and which assures that students will be attracted to each institution on the basis of educational programs and opportunities uninhibited by past practices of segregation
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
This document represents a plan for the continued desegregation of the University System ot Georgia As such it describes policies and procedures which will be adhered to by each operational element of the System The Board of Regents commits itself to each of the processes described
The validity ot any plan is measured best in terms of its productivity following implementation All institutional and University System projections presented in this plan are provided therefore as benchmarks for future evaluative purposes
The contribution which each step in the Plan makes to the racial composition within Georgias higher education system is affected by the contributions made by other steps Each step interacts with other steps to bring about a desired effect
The Board ot Regents regards the projections contained in this document as reasonable objectives based upon all factors available for consideration
The Board of Regents acknowledges that aspect of the guidelines which emphasizes that projections are not quotas It is understood that as in previous successful desegregation plan implementation noneffective processes will be abandoned or modified as implementation experiences may warrant

SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Board of Regents endorses and commits itself to continued adherence to the guideline proviso that the mission within each institution within the University System be defined on a basis other than race
The Board of Regents commits itself to take specific actions pertaining to the University Systems three predominantly black senior colleges Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College This commitment provides that
A Joint Study Committee composed of faculty and staff members of Albany State College and Albany Junior College will be established
The overall purpose of this committee will be to develop a plan for coordinated bachelors degreeassociate degree programs which may be pursued by students of the two colleges and to develop academic advisement and recruitment programs for enhancement of mobility of students between the two institutions These programs would be in addition to the presently coordinated bachelors degreeassociate degree programs in nursing of the two institutions
Albany Junior College a predominantly white twoyear institution is located approximately seven miles from Albany State College
The detailed implementation of the plan entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of Fort Valley State College as ordered by the US District Court Middle District of Georgia will be continued
A copy of the plan for Fort Valley State College adopted by the Board of Regents and approved by the US District Court of the Middle District of Georgia Macon in August 1975 is included as an exhibit in the Revised Plan The plan includes steps in several areas designed to modify the racial composition of the institution Some of these major steps deal with expansion and diversification of academic programs student faculty and administrative exchanges student financial aid enhancement of campus physical environment and remedial education
Basic recommendations of the Joint Armstrong State CollegeSavannah State College Academic Program Review Committee will be implemented
The joint committee made up of faculty members and administrators of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College was created to cooperate in developing and implementing a plan for the offering of academic degree programs at the two institutions A central feature of the recommendations of the committee is the delineation of the specific role of each of the two institutions intended to avoid inappropriate duplication of programs and at the same time provide for the joint offering of some programs A major objective of this effort is increased enrollment of white students at Savannah State College and of black students at predominantly white Armstrong State College
Armstrong State College Savannah is located approximately seven miles from Savannah State College it like Savannah State College is a senior college
The cooperative efforts of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College the only two University System institutions of the same type located within the same service area are set forth in more detail in the synopsis of response to Guideline IC of the revised Plan
Geographic Dispersion of Institutions
I he dispersion of the 32 institutions of the University System
16 junior colleges 12 senior colleges and 4 universities throughout the state has had a beneficial effect on the desegregation process through the provision of educational opportunity in an accessible and relatively economical manner This geographic dispersion mandated by Board of Regents policy is based on longrange goals to provide opportunity for comprehensive education beyond the high school for all Georgia citizens with an ultimate objective being the provision of at least two years of college within reasonable commuting distance for all who want to go to college
The actual and projected distributions of students by categories of institutions as percentages of the total for the System for selected fall quarters

HEW GUIDELINE IB
Specify steps to be taken to strengthen the role of the traditionally black institutions in the state system
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Board of Regents commits itself to the continued development of Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College in keeping with their respective roles as senior college units within the overall University System structure This commitment encompasses the continued provision of fiscal resources physical resources authorized program structures and other resources on a basis comparable with those provided to the nine other senior college units which have similar missions
The nature and extent of this Board commitment to the continued development of the three historically black System institutions is best assessed through a comparative review of the current status of senior college resource availability in the key areas of available degree programs resident instruction funding levels and physical plant development
Degree Programs
Basic educational principles upon which program development decisions are made suggest that 12 areas of study should be available in all 12 seniorcolleges biology business and economics Education English fine arts health and physical education history and political science mathematics and computer science modern languages physical science psychology and sociology
All the 12 seniorcolleges have programs in all the 12 designated areas with three exceptions Augusta College does not have a program in health and physical education Georgia Southwestern College does not have a program in sociology Savannah State College does not have a program in psychology but its students have access to this program through an arrangement with proximate

Further Desegregation Continued from Page 15 Armstrong State College
Additional areas of study beyond the broad generic areas are also available at selected institutions
Masters level graduate education in the senior colleges has been concentrated in the field of teacher education with more limited offerings available in business liberal arts and science
Between January 1974 and December 1976 the 12 senior colleges submitted 70 academic program proposals to the Board of Regents office and 42 of these proposals were approved by the Board Ten or 24 percent of the approved proposals were for the three predominantly black senior colleges The remaining 28 proposals of which 8 were submitted by Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College are currently under review
Examples of types of programs currently under active consideration for the predominantly black senior colleges include bachelors degree programs in political science and social science education at Albany State College a bachelors degree program in computer science at Fort Valley State College and masters degree programs in chemistry and science education at Savannah State College The masters degree programs under consideration for Savannah State College would be offered jointly with proximate predominantly white Armstrong State College
Resident Instruction Funding
State appropriations to all institutions of the University System for resident instruction including personal services and operating expenses and other purposes are requested through the Board of Regents from funds authorized by the General Assembly and all such appropriations are obtained from allocations made by the Board
Presidents of all University System institutions are given each year a number of opportunities to make comprehensive representations of needs of their institutions and to challenge tentative allocations they consider inadequate before final allocations of funds are made by the Board of Regents
Specific fiscal problems related to further desegregation of the System are addressed for the most part through the general institutional allocation Fiscal problems peculiar to the historically predominantly black institutions are thus reflected in the relative allocation and expenditure levels of these institutions when such levels are stated on an equivalent fulltime student basis
During the first part of the period the 196970 fiscal year through the 197778 fiscal year the average was about the same for predominantly black and predominantly white schools As predominantly black college enrollments began to decline in the 197172 fiscal year the rate of state appropriation per equivalent fulltime student increased dramatically Enrollment at the predominantly black institutions has decreased during a time period in which institutional resources appropriated for personnel facilities operation and salary increases have been increased This increased resource availability coupled with decreased enrollment has resulted in a rapid increase in the funding level expressed in terms of dollars per equivalent fulltime student This effect is even more pronounced in an expenditures comparison since the historically predominantly black colleges receive relatively greater grant support particularly from the federal level for their academic activities

The Board of Regents acknowledges the responsibility for the provision of an adequate physical plant and associated campus environment for each of the University System institutions The Board commits itself to the application of available capital resources in a manner which promises to result in maximum plant quality attainable subject to the limited resources available
Projected total capital outlay expenditures by the Board of Regents are expected to be comparable with those of recent years eg in the broad range of 1 1 million to 22 million peryear These expenditures will continue to be made on a Systemwide priority basis No funds will be utilized in a manner which knowingly will impede the continued desegregation of the University System
Development of the total spectrum of facilities on the historically black campuses will be continued commensurate with enrollment projections Quality improvement particularly in the areas of campus appearance and preventive maintenance will be emphasized by the staff of the University System vice chancellor for

HEW GUIDELINE IC
Commit the state to take specific steps to eliminate educationally unnecessary program duplication among traditionally black and traditionally white institutions in the same service area
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Board of Regents commits itself to a continuation of the implementation of its plan to eliminate educationally unnecessary program duplication among traditionally black and traditionally white institutions in the same service area
The only case in point in this connection is that of Savannah State College a predominantly black senior college and Armstrong State College a predominantly white senior college both of which are located in Savannah
Steps to accomplish the objective of this guideline were begun in 1971 and were continued in the Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents and approved by HEW in 1974
Savannah State College and Armstrong State College working through a committee made up of representatives of both institutions are implementing a fivepoint program
1 Discrete Degree Programs at each college identified on the basis of existing strengths within each institution which cannot be duplicated at the other college These programs include at Savannah State College engineering technology home economics political science sociology and industrial arts and trade and industrial education at Armstrong State College health professions psychology public administration anthropology Romance Languages and speech correction
2 Cooperative Degree Programs offered by both colleges designed so that for each program each college will offer some required courses not offered by the other college thus making it necessary for students in each of these programs to attend both institutions for one or more of his or her courses These programs include biology chemistry mathematics and computer science health physical education and recreation history criminal justice and music
3 Joint Undergraduate Degree Programs handled on a joint basis the same as that of the graduate programs of the two colleges These joint undergraduate programs include fine arts earth sciences art and social work
4 Duplicative Programs which because of their nature and supportive functions will be unilaterally offered by each college These programs include English teacher education and business administration
5 Graduate Programs to be continued in operation under the auspices and control of the Joint Graduate Council of the two
colleges
Graduate degrees will still be awarded jointly by the two institutions in programs in which undergraduate degrees are offered by both institutions however there will be a few graduate degrees which will be unilaterally offered by one institution inasmuch as the other institution would have no undergraduate expertise in such programs
Between June 1972 and August 1976 Savannah State College and Armstrong State College awarded 500 joint graduate degrees 305 to blacks 195 to whites
HEW GUIDELINE ID
Commit the state to give priority consideration to placing any
new undergraduate graduate or professional degree programs courses of study etc which may be proposed at traditionally black institutions consistent with their missions
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Board of Regents commits itself to the continued placement of undergraduate and graduate degree programs at the three historically predominantly black institutions consistent with their missions as senior units of the University System A diligent effort will be made within this context of mission definition to identify programs of sufficient student demand and academic quality to attract students without regard to race
Examples of new programs to be investigated for consideration for approval are forensic science for Albany State College and marine biology for Savannah State College also possible new program definition for Fort Valley State College as described in a twoyearold federal courtordered University System plan for the further desegregation of this institution
Savannah State College and Fort Valley State College each have been awarded a multiyear federal grant of 15 million in support of their participation in the Advanced Institutional Development Program Proposals for the utilization of these grants are being developed in cooperation with a special group of Board of Regents staff members experienced in the application of such funds
HEW GUIDELINE IE
Commit the state to withhold approval of any changes in the operation of the state system or of any institutions that may have the effect of thwarting the achievement of its desegregation goals
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Board of Regents commits itself to continue identifying proposals with potential impact on desegregation within the University System and to continue developing impact statements on such proposals
The procedure essentially the same one that has been in force since the 1974 fall quarter is
Identification of a proposal with potential impact on desegregation is initially the responsibility of the president of the institution requesting Board of Regents approval of the action that would be involved
The data base required for proper assessment of the new potential impact of the proposal is developed by the institution and the appropriate staff member of the Board of Regents
The data base is evaluated by the Vice Chancellor of the Board of Regents who then incorporates an appropriate impact statement into the agenda item submitted to the Board in requesting approval of the proposal
All proposals are screened by the Vice Chancellor prior to their introduction into the agenda to ensure that an impact statement accompanies each proposal for which such is appropriate
HEW GUIDELINE IF
Commit the state to advise the HEW Office for Civil Rights of proposed major changes in the mission or the character of any institution within the state system which may directly or indirectly affect the achievement of its desegregation goals prior to their formal adoption

Desegregation of Student Enrollment
HEW DIRECTIVE
An acceptable plan shall commit the state to the goal of assuring that the system as a whole and each institution within the system provide an equal educational opportunity are open and accessible to all students and operate without regard to race and on a desegregated basis
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
This plan represents a specific response to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare guidelines dated July 2 1977 It is necessarily an interim document subject to further analysis and refinement It cannot completely address in the highly structured framework of the guidelines some of the very broad general problems associated with the provision of increased educational opportunity for students of all races
The fundamental educational decisions implicit in the furtherance of all of Georgias public higher education are necessarily the responsibility ot the Board of Regents This responsibility can not
be abdicated in the pursuit of externally defined statistical objectives
The above caveat in no sense minimizes the importance of specific measures of progress The material of this section is therefore directed toward a comparison of the projected progress to he achieved in minority enrollments with the individual student enrollment guidelines These comparisons are best understood in the context of the current status of minority enrollments The comparisons also rest upon an understanding of the general features of student recruitment and retention
Institutions of the University System are open and accessible to all students with admissions predicated totally on academic criteria The institutions operate without regard to race

Recruiting and Retention of Students
Successful recruiting and retention of students requires a coordinated approach to potential applicants the structuring of financial aid packages sufficient to meet individual needs and the provision ot programs directed toward the academic and social adjustment
18
The System Summary
required for longrange academic success
Clearly defined problems encountered in recruiting are in large measure race independent being primarily related to the educational and economic background of the potential student Sociological factors so important in efforts to increase the involvement of minorities in all aspects of higher education are less welldefined and frequently require approaches and techniques adapted to a particular institution and its surrounding community
Recruiting of Students
The objectives of the University System recruiting program are toll inform the populace of educational opportunities available 2 stimulate interest in higher education and 3 provide information and materials that will help students parents and counselors with the process of educational planning
The University System recruiting policies are common to all institutions example All recruiting activities are pursued without regard to race color sex age religion or national origin Recruiting procedures vary within the System however reflecting the differences of the institutions
Retention of Students
The University Systems noncredit remedial program Special Studies is a major means within the System of providing retention and success in as well as the primary means of providing access to college for large numbers of college applicants not academically prepared properly to begin collegecredit work
While Special Studies does not pretend to resolve all problems related to the poor academic achievement of college students or to desegregation of colleges the question of special compensatory activities speaks directly to the heart of the problem of increasing minority student enrollment Many minority students come from cultural and educational backgrounds which were not conducive to strong academic development It is essential that appropriate programs be provided for such students if they are to have reasonable expectations of success in collegelevel work
While the Special Studies program is included as a component of the University Systems plan for further desegregation it was designed and is in operation for all races Evidence to date clearly indicates that programs of compensatory studies of the type Special Studies provided by the University System create an avenue to college level activity for many previously poorly prepared students of all races
The Special Studies program has been in force on a University Systemwide basis since the 1974 fall quarter It consists of noncredit remedial instruction in three subject areas English reading and mathematics and also diagnostic testing tutorial assistance and counseling
A person with a high school diploma or the equivalent thereof who cannot meet academic requirements for admission as a freshman for a full load of collegecredit work may be admitted to one two or all three of the Special Studies subject areas and he or she may exit each subject area individually on the basis of demonstrated proficiency in that area and thereby be admitted to collegecredit work in the same area
The Special Studies program also allows a person to be enrolled simultaneously therein and in collegecredit work in an area or areas in which he or she is not required to do remedial work
Financial Aid
The Board of Regents considers student financial aid to be a significant and indispensable factor within the spectrum of needs in higher education The objective of the financial aid program in
the University System is to provide financial assistance to students who without such aid would be unable to begin or continue in an institution of higher education
The financial aid program of each institution consisting of grants loans scholarships and employment opportunities singly or in various package combinations is administered through one centralized office Procedures for administering this program are common to all institutions
In selecting students to receive financial aid the institutions place primary emphasis upon demonstrated financial need and a uniform system of need analysis is used tor all applicants The institutions may however give consideration to academic achievement character special talent and future promise
Financial aid totaling 48716673 in grants loans scholarships and employment opportunities was reported by the 31 University System institutions in the 197576 fiscal year The breakdown of the total

achievement of the objective of proportionate firstyear enrollment of minority and majority high school graduates In postsecondary institutions in Georgia The Board of Regents also recognizes and endorses the more restrictive objective of proportionate firstyear enrollments in public institutions of higher education This position is especially significant in Georgia which has substantial minority enrollments in the predominantly black privatecollege complex of the Atlanta University Center and in the vocationaltechnical schools operated under the auspices of the State Board of Education
The objective stated in the guidelines of equal proportions of black and white high school graduates enrolling in twoyear and fouryear undergraduate public higher education institutions

The System Summary
not explicitly reflect the substantial outofstate component of the private school enrollment or enrollment in proprietary schools
The current best estimate is that in 1976 there were 61059 Georgia high school graduates 42559 or 70 percent of total white 18500 or 30 percent of total black
Enrollment in the University System for the four quarters of 197576 included 24140 nonduplicated firstyear students 18925 or 784 percent of the total white 5215 or 216 percent of the total black
These figures indicate that on the average based on the assumption that delayed or protracted enrollment characteristics are stable with time approximately 44 percent of Georgias white high school graduates and approximately 28 percent of the states black high
school graduates enroll in University System institutions
Numerically a ratio of 70 percent white30 percent black in the firstyear enrollment in University System institutions in 197576 would have been achieved by the decrease of 6809 white students or the increase of 2960 black students or by any of various decreaseincrease combinations
Black firstyear enrollment is projected to increase by 2646 students by the 198283 academic year if it is assumed that onefourth of the projected increase in total black enrollment by the 1982 fall quarter is at the firstyear level There is not any comparable assumption on the increase of white firstyear enrollment

from the 1977 fall quarter through the 1982 fall quarter are based on the conviction that black enrollment growth will be substantially greater than white enrollment growth for that period
The projection of firstyear black enrollment In the 198287 academic year would be enhanced if increased levels of minority enrollment would be achieved in selected institutions The Board of Regents therefore commits itself to a detailed review under the direction of the chancellor of the recruitment practices and policies of each institution w ith special emphasis to be placed on practices affecting minority enrollments This review w ill take cognizance of spec ial institutional conditions such as the racial composition of the recruiting area and will substantiate these conditions to the greatest extent possible with attainable data The development of enhanced recruitment plans w ill place emphasis upon the identification of the academically betterprepared minority student

HEW GUIDELINE IIB1
Adopt the goal that there shall be an annual increase to be specified by each state system in the enrollment of black students in the traditionally white fouryear undergraduate public higher education institutions in the state system taken as a whole and in each such institution
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
Projected enrollments for the fall quarters from 1977 through 1982 indicate an increase of black students each year in each of the predominantly white senior colleges and universities with one exception an unchanged enrollment of black students at one of the senior colleges in the 1982 fall quarter
HEW GUIDELINE IIB2
Adopt the objective of reducing the disparity between the proportion of black high school graduates and the proportion of white high school graduates entering traditionally white fouryear undergraduate public higher education institutions in the state system and adopt the goal of reducing the current disparity by at least 51 percent by the academic year 198283 However this shall not require any state to increase by that date black student admissions by more than 150 percent above the admissions for the academic year of 197677
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Board of Regents commits itself to the continued reduction of disparity in other race firstyear enrollment in the 12 senior colleges and 4 universities of the University System While the guidelines specifically separate the historically black and historically white institutions in this process the extant court order related to Fort Valley State College appears to preclude any unevenness in timing of actions However cognizance is taken of the special problems confronting both the historically black schools and other special situations
Enrollment of firstyear students at the 12 senior colleges and 4 universities in 197576 totaled 13512 The total included 10387 white students 3125 black students for a 7723 ratio
The breakdown of enrollments for the four quarters of 197576 of firstyear students by races at these institutions and the percentages of estimated Georgia high school graduates by races repre
sented by these enrollments was
Predominantly White Institutions 9 Senior Colleges 4 Universities Black Students White Students
Number of Students Percent of High School 1579 10364
Graduates by Race Predominantly Black Institutions 3 Senior Colleges 83 244
Number of Students Percent of High School 1586 23
Graduates by Race 86 01
The percentages of Georgias high school graduates enrolled in these senior colleges and universities is based on 61059 graduates 42559 white 18500 black per year the same as the current best estimate for 1976
It is estimated that enrollment of black firstyear students at the predominantly white senior colleges and universities wall be increased by 1579 by the 198283 academic year and that enrollment of white firstyear students at the predominantly black senior colleges will be increased by 82 over the same period
HEW GUIDELINE IIC
Adopt the goal that the proportion of black state residents who graduate from undergraduate institutions in the state system and enter graduate study or professional schools in the state system shall be at least equal to the proportion of white state residents who graduate from undergraduate institutions in the state system and enter such schools
SUBSECTION OF HEW GUIDELINE IIC
This goal and interim benchmarks or goals shall be separately stated for each major area of graduate and professional study To assure that this goal can be met in the immediate future special recruitment efforts should be considered at the traditionally black institutions Particular attention should be given to increasing black student enrollment and graduation from those traditionally white fouryear undergraduate institutions which serve as the feeder institutions for the graduate and professional schools Achievement of this goal is of particular importance in light of the specific concern expressed by the Court of Appeals in Adams In assessing progress toward this goal the Office for Civil Rights will give consideration to the number of blacks who enroll in graduate and professional schools outside the state system
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
Review of the data of an accompanying table reveals that the overall guideline objective that at least equal proportions of black and white state resident graduates from undergraduate institutions enter and graduate from state system graduate schools has already been met Twelve percent of the 7248 masters degrees and 11 percent of all the 8223 graduate and professional degrees awarded by University System institutions in the period of July 1975June 1976 were received by blacks while 10 percent of the 13126 bachelors degrees were received by blacks
However a detailed review of accompanying tables reveals that a real and pervasive desegregation problem is concealed by these overall statistics These tables reveal that the preponderance of bachelors degrees received by blacks are in the fields of business education and social science A similar but somewhat less pronounced distribution of degrees awarded to blacks is noted at the masters level
The conclusion can be drawn from an accompanying table that
22
The System Summary
in nine discipline areas the percentage of degrees awarded to blacks at the masters level was greater than the percentage awarded at the bachelors level and that in 10 discipline areas the corresponding percentage decreased
The causes of the relative decline in the 10 areas are believed varied eg few black engineering students have been enrolled at Georgia Tech for a sufficient time to have received an advanced deeree Also many undergraduate engineering students seek immediate employment in response to the strong demand for black engineers Public affairs and service is an example of an area where immediate employment provides an attractive alternative to graduate school

The essential commitment which the Board of Regents must make is to the continued provision of an undergraduate education for all University System students of a quality such that they may successfully compete in advanced areas of formal study or professional practice
While time will resolve the basic problem the Board of Regents recognizes that additional interim actions are required if significant minority representation is to be achieved at the doctoral and profes
sional level It therefore commits itself to the development of processes which will provide early identification of promising students who may normally be considered economically or educationally disadvantaged Such students will be provided with the opportunity to bring their skills to a level sufficient to permit them to compete at the advanced graduate or professional level Details for such activities in broad areas will be developed during the first twelve months of implementation of this Plan
Four special programs that the School of Medicine of the Medical College of Georgia proposes to sponsor for educationally disadvantaged students are examples of those to which the Board of Regents commits itself under this guideline
HEW GUIDELINE II I
Adopt the goal of increasing the total number of white students attending traditionally black institutions
SUBSECTION OF HEW GUIDELINE II I
Increased participation by white students at traditionally black institutions must be a part of the process of desegregation of the statewide system of higher education However pursuant to the admonition of the courts in Adams the desegregation process should take into account the unequal status of the black colleges and the real danger that desegregation will diminish higher education opportunities for blacks The following steps are designed to guard against the diminution of higher educational opportunities for black students to take into account the unique importance of black colleges and to comply with the mandate of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Establishment of numerical goals for the enrollment of white students at black institutions must be preceded by an increasing enrollment of black students in the higher education system and at the traditionally white institutions us is required by Section II of these criteria guidelines It must also be preceded by the accomplishment of specific steps to strengthen the role of traditionally black institutions eliminate program duplication locate new programs at black institutions and by such other measures as are set forth in Section I
The Office for Civil Rights shall annually review the progress made by each state in increasing participation by black students in higher education and in the disestablishment of the dual school system Commencing on September I 1979 and consistent with such progress each state system shall specify annual numerical goals for increasing the participation of white students attending the traditionally black institutions
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
Enrollment projections by races indicate that each of the predominantly black colleges three senior colleges one junior college expects an increase each year from 197778 through 198283 in the enrollment of white students The total projected increase for the period is from 743 in 197677 to 1310
The steps that must be taken prior to the mandatory increase in enrollment of white students at the predominantly black institutions as set forth in the subsection of HEW Guideline IID are dealt with in other sections of the revised Plan
HEW GUIDELINE IIE

to be specified by the state system for achieving annual progress
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
This goal involves several fundamental principles Perhaps the most important has to do with the basic determination of graduation requirements
The current situation appears to be one in which the attrition for black students at the fouryear college level is approximately onethird greater than for white students This observation is based on the following University System enrollment 15 percent black 85 percent white bachelors graduates 10 percent black 90 percent white
Attrition rates are influenced to an unknown extent by the time lag effect related to the rapid recent increase in minority enrollment however it can be concluded that the actual disparity is less than that indicated by the foregoing data on enrollment and bachelors graduates
The increased productivity in terms of both black and white graduates depends heavily upon the capability of individual institutions to develop undergraduates who are fully competitive academically This in turn depends upon the general preparation of students entering the University System The accompanying table of composite Scholastic Aptitude Test scores suggests the magnitude of the problem
The percentages of 30412 entering freshmen at University System institutions in 197576 whose composite Scholastic Aptitude Test scores were below those indicated were 900 composite score
699 percent 850 composite score 621 percent 800 composite score 531 percent 750composite score 444 percent 700 composite score 351 percent 650 composite score 264 percent 600 composite score 185 percent 550 composite score

The Board of Regents commits itself to the maintenance of regular and remedial programs of a type sufficient to meet these academic needs
HEW GUIDELINE IIF
Commit the state to expand mobility between twoyear and fouryear institutions as a means of meeting the goals set forth in these criteria
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
Mobility between twoyear and fouryear institutions with no restriction other than academic performance at the original institution is provided by the University Systems Core Curriculum
There is included in the revised Plan an explanation of the function of the Core Curriculum which has been operative throughout the University System since the mid1960s to facilitate transfer of up to two full years of freshman and sophomore credits from any System institution to any other System institution

The System Summary
HEW GUIDELINE IIIF
Commit the state system to taking specific measures to achieve these objectives
SYNOPSIS OF RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Board of Regents will make a concerted effort to achieve a greater degree of desegregation of administration faculty and staff throughout the University System of Georgia by taking several
steps
The Board of Regents reaffirms its Affirmative Action Commitment for the entire University System adopted by the Board in October 1975 and presented in its entirety in the revised Plan
The initial section of the Affirmative Action Commitment provides
It shall be the policy of the Board of Regents of the University System to initiate comprehensive Affirmative Action programs to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment The University System will not engage in discriminatory practices against any person employed or seeking employment because of race color religion national origin or sex
Positive efforts to effect further Affirmative Action programs throughout the University System shall be pursued constantly and intensely The Affirmative Action programs in the University System shall be consistent with the Regents standards of quality and excellence they shall be specific in identifying areas of underutilization and in prescribing corrective measures The intent of the Affirmative Action Commitment of the University System is that it shall reflect fully the spirit of the law
Affirmative Action Programs
Under the Affirmative Action Commitment each institution in the University System is required to prepare and to implement maintain update monitor and make performance reports on a written Affirmative Action program plan in accord with federal law and regulations
The plan for each Affirmative Action program sets forth specific actions designed to ensure equal employment opportunities
In management of an Affirmative Action program
Each institution makes for each of its major job categories and job classifications as delineated by federal regulations an analysis reflecting minority persons in the relevant labor market area including those in the work force and those otherwise available for employment
Each institution establishes goals and timetables for actions correcting any underutilization characterized by having fewer minority persons or women in a particular department or job at the institution than would be expected by their availability in the relevant labor market area
Affirmative Action program plans as well as regular performance reports on these programs are transmitted to the Board of Regents office for review The Affirmative Action plans are forwarded to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare for evaluation and approval or return to the institutions for revision
One Affirmative Action program plan has been approved by the US Department of Health Education and Welfare Four additional program plans have been submitted to HEW for review Four other program plans are in an advanced stage of preparation
A other program plans are in preparation and will be ready for submission to HEW by July 1 1978
1 e Affirmative Action Commitment applies not only to new
hirings but to other major aspects of jobs as well including promotions salaries and wages leaves fringe benefits job classifications training and grievances
Applicant Clearinghouse
The University System of Georgias Applicant Clearinghouse implemented in 1975 is being expanded and modified to give additional support to Affirmative Action programs
Applications of unhired applicants for employment in administrative and faculty positions at all University System institutions are channeled with the applicants consent in each case into this Clearinghouse which is located on the campus of the University of Georgia From this pool of applicants any System institution may obtain applicants to the extent needed and available for consideration in filling vacancies
All the institutions are required to use the Applicant Clearinghouse as a source of applications of minority persons and women as necessary to effect properly their Affirmative Action programs however the use of the Clearinghouse by the institutions is not limited to this purpose
In recent months the University System of Georgias Applicant Clearinghouse and the State University System of Floridas Central Applicant Pool and Position Vacancy Listing Service have begun the exchange of applications of black persons
As a part of the implementation of the revised Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia the Applicant Clearinghouse will be extended to handle applications for all administrative faculty and staff positions exempt from the Wage and Hour Law This extension will be implemented prior to January 1 1979
HEW GUIDELINE IIIG
Adopt the goal of increasing the numbers of black persons appointed to systemwide and institutional governing boards and agencies so that these boards may be more representative of the racial population of the state or of the area served
RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The Constitution of Georgia provides that the membership of the Board of Regents shall consist of one member from each of the 10 Congressional Districts in the state and five additional members from the StateatLarge appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate The term of appointment of each Regent is seven years Terms of the members of the Board of Regents are staggered or overlapping so that the terms of only two members expire each year except that the terms of three members expire at the end of any sevenyear period
Recent appointments to the Board of Regents have been of a nature to make the Board more representative of the racial population of the state This procedure will be continued over the period of implementation of this Plan

the acceptance or rejection of the plan This timetable required the submission of the plan to HEW by September 2
Each state must commit itself to make substantial progress toward each goal in the plan during the first two years of the plan
Each plan must be certified as having been officially adopted and it must be signed by the Governor and the proper higher education official
It is recommended that each state establish a biracial citizens advisorymonitoring committee to assist in the implementation of the plan
Each state must make a narrative report to the OCR by August 15 of each year beginning in 1978 of desegregation efforts of the state during the most recent academic year
The Office for Civil Rights will review the narrative reports and may impose more stringent requirements including mandating advance approval by the OCR of desegregation methods and initiation by the OCR of enforcement proceedings under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Each state must provide additional reports assessments and other information of types and at times required by the OCR
RESPONSE IN REVISED PLAN
The commitment of the Board of Regents to complete elimination of all vestiges of a formerly dual system ot public higher education in Georgia far exceeds the direct or implied mandate of specific legislation or guidelines addressed in this Plan
The Board of Regents through submission of this Plan commits itself to the diligent pursuit of the explicit objectives described in its several parts and to the full implementation of these actions and processes identified herein All appropriate steps required to validate this commitment have been taken by the Board of Regents in keeping with its responsibilities as detailed in the Constitution of the state of Georgia The Governor of Georgia joins in this endorsement to the extent permitted by his constitutionally defined role as chief executive officer of the state of Georgia
Timely reports of both a narrative and a statistical nature will be provided to aid the Department of Health Education and Welfare in its review of progress achieved under this Plan Appropriate report formats will be developed through consultation with representatives of the Office for Civil Rights
This Plan has been developed under the direction of a special subcommittee of the Board of Regents through an open process in which public involvement has played an important part The spirit of the preparation process will be preserved and strengthened during the implementation phase through the appointment of a Special Regents Committee on Desegregation This committee will be charged with the responsibility for an ongoing review of not only progress made under the Plan but also the identification of possible problem areas and the discussion of broad academic matters to the extent that such matters potentially affect the desegregation process The committee will further be charged with the responsibility for the assessment of representative public views related to the implementation of the Plan and the wider aspects of the desegregation process
As stated in the Introduction This Plan was prepared during a very short time interval as mandated by the guidelines It represents the best review possible under these severe time constraints of the present status of University System desegregation the effectiveness of processes in force and the definition of projected future actions It should therefore be considered as an interim document subject to further analysis and refinement

CHANCELLORS STATEMENT
In his statement at the September 15 meeting on the request for pay increases Chancellor Simpson said
A substantial pay increase for employees of the University System is the prime financial need of the University System for the 197879 fiscal year
Last year the Legislature on recommendation of the Governor provided a fine increase of 95 percent This increase halted the downward trend in real income for employees of the System It made possible the retaining of many excellent people who otherwise would have left the System A great deal of faith was restored in the states resolution to support a good and improving system of higher education in a competitive manner
However for several years prior to last year we had been losing ground both to our surrounding states in the South and to the cost of living Without a substantial increase next year we will be on the downgrade again
The facts support this conclusion
First the other states are not standing still Listed below are the percentage increases provided for the past three years by the Southern States

the past three years It is clear that we have not made up all of the ground lost in recent years and that any falling off will further damage our competitive position
Inflation Great Enemy of Higher Education
Quite apart from what others do the people of the University System are confronted with the matter of real spendable income Inflation eats away every day at the groceries the clothing the housing the education of the children of the employees of the University System Indeed inflation is the great enemy of higher education In the long run those institutions that best come to terms with inflation will be those that progress and survive in good fashion
This chart indicates the loss to inflation in recent years
The chart indicates these cumulative increases for the period beginning with the 196869 fiscal year and ending with the 197778 fiscal year Consumer Price Index 756 percent nonacademic salaries 620 percent academic salaries 444 percent
As a partial solution to the question of inflation the Board of Regents proposed last year that an annual increment of 25 percent be built in the personal services parts of the University Systems budget On the Governors recommendation 25 percent was added by the Legislature to the 7 percent merit increase that was included in his original budget
The Board of Regents asks that this 25 percent increment be considered as part of the continuation budget and carried forward
The Board also requests a 10 percent merit raise I the employees of the University System
The budget for the 197879 fiscal year is of a particularly critical nature in the ongoing of the University System
The importance of a pay raise in the immediate financial context of recent years has just been described
But it is of even more importance in a broader sense Durir the past decade and a half the people of Georgia have made a tremendous investment in the University System This investment must be preserved and enhanced
Through its academic service and research programs provided on a geographically dispersed basis the University System has become an integral part of the life of the state Now after a period of expansion and growth is the time to strengthen the University System to improve the quality to allow even further enrichment of the life of the state
Nations Education in Difficult Period
Education throughout the nation is in a difficult period The changes the upsets the questions of the last decade and a half have provided a turbulent situation The wellknown decline in Scholastic Aptitude Test scores is a good indication of the pervasive nature of the problem It must be dealt with
The strengthening of all elements of the System the improvement in quality the heavy effort of dealing with the growing problems in education all these rest upon a good diligent faculty fairly rewarded and working in close interaction with the people of the state

A PUBLICATION OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA VOL 13 NO 10 OCTOBER 1977
BOARD SEEKS ACQUISITION OF GOLF COURSE PROPERTY
An application for the acquisition by the Board of Regents of approximately 230 acres of federal government surplus property in Augusta known as the Fort GordonAugusta Golf Course was approved by the Board at the October l M2 meeting
This property is being sought for use by Augusta College Located within the Augusta city limits approximately one mile from Augusta College it consists of an 18hole golf course some acreage not embraced by the golf course layout a swimming pool and eight buildings
Augusta College requested the Board of Regents to seek to acquire the property for the college to use both as a public golf course and in the colleges educational and recreational programs
The Boards application submitted to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare virtually rules out the operation by Augusta College of a public golf course It places primary emphasis on need for the property for use in the colleges educational and recreational programs
The application however leaves open the option for the Board to authorize operation of the golf course by a governmental or nonprofit entity through a lease or a service contract The provision retaining the option does not indicate the basis on which the golf
course might be available for use under one of the specified arrangements
On the future of the golf course the application provides While the primary goal of this applicant is to acquire this facility for educational purposes it is realistic to assume that the facility could not be exclusively so used in the immediate future It is not deemed in the best interest of the University System that Augusta College would operate this facility as a public golf course as such though the portion of the facility upon which this golf course is located would quite probably not be required in the immediate future Accordingly it is anticipated that the golf course could remain in operation through its lease to a governmental or nonprofit entity or its operation under a service contract with a governmental or nonprofit entity at no cost to either Augusta College or the Board of Regents until such time as Augusta College or the Board of Regents determines otherwise
Invaluable Educational and Public Asset
The Golf Course property would provide Augusta college the community and the state with an invaluable educational and public asset the Board indicated in the application The nature size and location of the property would make it possible for the college to expand and enrich its academic program in many significant areas the Board also indicated
Some of the other representations made in the application are

This selfinsurance is basically like the professional liability insurance provided for University System employees until July 1 1977 under a policy with the Horace Mann Insurance Company One of the differences The amount of coverage provided by the selfinsurance is smaller than that that was provided under the Horace Mann policy

Property Continued from Front Cover
The Augusta College campus is extremely limited in its growth potential being bounded by residential areas and highcost property Physical education ROTC and intramural and intercollegiate sports programs for both men and women are limited in scope by inadequate outdoor facilities
As the Central Savannah River Area population grows it is axiomatic that Augusta Colleges enrollment will increase The enrollment for the fall quarter 1977 is at an alltime high 3883 students This places an even greater burden on the already overtaxed areas for ROTC physical education intramural athletics and recreation
The Golf Course property would solve the immediate and future needs of the physical education program of Augusta College and the recreational needs of the students and faculty and staff members of the college It would make possible the development of facilities needed for the development of a curriculum for an academic major in recreation and physical education for the college which is now being studied
This property would provide a training area for the Augusta College ROTC unit which is now forced to conduct fieldtype programs on inadequate and extremely limited campus areas
The swimming pool located on the property would ease tremendously the scheduling problems now faced in the use of the swimming pool on the Augusta College campus The pool on the campus a modem indoor swimming facility is being used by physical education classes the intercollegiate swimming team students and faculty and staff members for recreational swimming the Augusta Swimming League and the Red Cross lifesaving and swimming programs
The Golf Course property has potential for use in several areas of study among which are biology aquatic biology vertebrate zoology ornithology animal behavior and botany The abundance of plant life would provide a most excellent outdoor laboratory and might well make possible an extension of the colleges academic offerings in the field of botany
It is anticipated that the use of this property for recreational purposes would be extended to students and employees of the Medical College of Georgia
Portions of the property are suitable and in condition to permit the college to begin partial utilization of the facility upon acquisition
Development Financing and Operation
On the matters of development financing and operation of the Golf Course property the application indicates
Future development might include the addition of a physical education building playing fields and other related areas
Construction of a physical education building was approved by the Board of Regents at an estimated cost of 750000 but funds have not been appropriated for this building at this time Funds for this facility would come from the resources of the Board of Regents when authorized by the Board
Proposed new facilities and timetables therefor listed in plats attached to the application are intended to be suggestive only and should not be construed as representing any commitment to construct such improvement by the Board
No costs are anticipated to place the property in condition for utilization in the immediate future Several departments of Augusta College including Physical Education ROTC and Biology could use this facility as it is for beginning their programs for the
area without any expenditure of funds Paving of parking lot and roads would be developed with the aid of county and state tr or tation departments as it is normally done for all college proj
It is anticipated that the operating budget of Augusta College would provide adequate financing for operations and any new developments that may be provided
Terms and Conditions
The Board of Regents is seeking to acquire the Golf Course property without cost
The property which would be conveyed by quitclaim deed would have to be utilized for 30 years in accordance with the plan set forth in the Boards application for acquisition During the 30year period it could be repossessed by the federal government in the event of the Boards failure to adhere to the utilization plan
Background on Boards Action
The request for the Board of Regents to seek to acquire the Golf Course property was initiated in November 1976 in a letter to Chancellor George L Simpson Jr from Augusta College President George A Christenberry
The request was submitted to the Board in April An agenda item for the April meeting indicated that Augusta College wished to use this property both for the operation of a public golf course and for the colleges educational and recreational programs
When the Board began considering the request for the acquisition of the property there was no certainty that the property would be declared surplus The property had been declared surplus to the needs of the Armys Fort Gordon and was undergoing evaluation as to whether it would be declared surplus to the needs of other entities of the federal government It was declared surplus to the needs of the federal government and became subject to assignment for educational purposes in September
The property declared surplus consists of 24056 acres It is anticipated that a smallacreage portion of the property which is not included in the Board of Regents application for the acquisition of approximately 230 acres will be sought by the City of Augusta for use in the development of a tennis facility the Board was told
The proposal for the Board of Regents to acquire the Golf Course property has been before the Board for discussion several times since April Several members of the Board have visited the property and have reported to the Board on their visits
The Board was told from the beginning of consideration of the proposal that there was especially high interest from a segment of the Augustaarea public in seeing the Board acquire the property for use as a public golf course The Board was also told during a number of the discussions between April and the final vote at the October meeting that a group of Augustaarea supporters of the operation of a public golf course would underwrite operating losses up to 200000 sustained in the operation of the golf course for the first three years The Board never formally considered acceptance of the offer to underwrite operating losses

THE ADVISORY COUNCIL
The membership of the Advisory Council of the Univer sity System of Georgia is made up of the chancellor who is ex officio the presiding officer the vice chancellor and the presidents of all the universities senior colleges and junior colleges
The Advisory Council has the power to make recommendations to the chancellor concerning all educational and administrative matters of concern to the Uni versity System It also has the power to create standing and special committees deemed to be needed and to define the duties and functions of each of these committees
All administrative officers faculty members and professional employees of institutions of the University System are eligible to serve on committees of the Advisory Council
Regular meetings of the Advisory Council are held no less often than once each quarter and special meetings are held upon calls by the chancellor
The Advisory Council was created by the Board of Regents in 1950 Previously a group of representatives from throughout the University System performed functions similar to those of the present Advisory Council
The present statutes and bylaws of the Advisory Council were revised by a special committee and adopted by the Board of Regents in 1969
Committees Have Advisory Role
The role of members of Academic and Administrative committees of the Advisory Council of the University System of Georgia is defined in the statutes of the Advisory Council as follows
The duty of each member of an Academic or Administrative Committee is to represent the position of his institution He is expected therefore to confer with colleagues and appropriate officials at his home institution concerning issues to be brought before the committee
It should be recognized however that the vote of the institutional representative does not commit the institution since all reports actions or recommendations of committees are advisory in nature only and must ultimately be considered by the Advisory Council where the president of each institution alone is empowered to vote officially on the position of his institution
Should more than one member from an institution attend meetings of standing Academic or Administrative Committees only one member shall represent the institution on any matter requiring a vote

Approval was given for the treatment of water for mechanical systems at University System institutions to be designated as a professional service insofar as the purchasing regulations of the State of Georgia are concerned
In a staffprepared agenda item recommending the action the Regents were told
The addition of chemicals to water used in heating and cooling systems is a critical item in good maintenance of the component parts of these systems
Ideally an institution could contract with an engineering firm to provide the technical advice necessary to identify the proper chemicals in the proper quantities to be added to the water to safeguard the equipment Unfortunately this service is simply not available The only alternative is to purchase the chemicals from firms which premix the chemicals and sell them to the institution with the professional advice provided as part of the cost of the chemicals The result is the appearance of the purchase ot a commodity rather than a professional service
Purchase of commodities in the State of Georgia is handled entirely by the Division of Purchasing and Supplies of the Department of Administrative Services All such purchases are made through a competitive bidding process with the award going to the lowest responsible bidder The result will be a constantly

The System Summary
changing series of contractors The nature of the damage to equipment resulting from faulty treatment is such that the damage may not be evident for months or even years after the period of faulty treatment
The staffprepared agenda item continued
It is our opinion that an institution should be permitted to contract with a firm on a yeartoyear basis with full expectation of both parties that the contract will continue over a period of several years The contractor would learn the local problems of water treatment and the institution would learn the procedures personnel and capabilities of the firm with which it works

Not Here to Congratulate
Were not here to congratulate ourselves or each other on the good things that we do Mr Friedman told the Committee We really are here to talk about problems concerns areas of mutual cooperation areas where we feel that either something isnt being done or not enough is being done
Mr Friedman said that in the formal sense in which our two boards operate some of the factors that have a significant impact on education cannot be controlled by the boards He added Butas Board members we can influence our specific areas of responsibility and I think that is why we are here and I think that it is time that we get on with the job
I think we should be ambitious in this Committee without being unrealistic
I think that we should try to establish what specific areas are of mutual interest and concern educate ourselves as members of this Committee about these areas and finally be prepared to make specific recommendations for specific action to our respective boards and perhaps to other agencies that may be involved
I believe our job is first to identify and secondly to initiate courses of action which 1 have good promise of impacting on the problem areas and 2 are capable of accomplishment within the framework of our respective missions and resources

College Athletic Association would be permitted to execute an agreement with another party for the use operation and maintenance of the golf course were not stipulated in the Board action at the December 1314 meeting the Regents were given a preview of future actions they may be asked to take
Augusta College President George A Christenberry in a letter to Chancellor George L Simpson Jr attached to the December 1314 meeting agenda proposed that the Board of Regents lease the golf course to the Augusta College Athletic Association and that in turn to provide for the daytoday operations of the golf course the Augusta College Athletic Association would lease the golf course to the Augusta Golf Association for management
With President Christenberrys letter was a letter to the Board of Regents from Finley H Merry president of the Augusta Golf Association Mr Merry wrote that the Augusta Golf Associations board of directors had agreed to take on the responsibility of operating the golf course under certain terms and conditions that could mutually be agreed upon He provided a threepage proposal of terms and conditions of such an operation which the Board received as information
Our interest in becoming involved in the operation of the golf course is to aid Augusta College in fielding a fine golf team and to honor our commitment to the City of Augusta that the golf course will be maintained as a public facility Mr Merry also wrote
The Boards action at the December 1314 meeting was consider
ably more specific about major uses intended for the golf course than was the application submitted in October The December 1314 action was submitted as an amendment in effect to the October application
The Board of Regents received response to the October application through a letter dated October 31 from James G Warner Atlanta regional director of the US Department of Health Education and Welfares Division of Federal Property Assistance We have become somewhat concerned about the utilization of the 18 hole golf course Mr Warner said in summarizing results of HEWs review of the application Your application suggests several possible future uses for the support buildings and perimeter areas however use of these areas is secondary to the primary function of the site as a golf course Transfer of the property is contingent on development of a comprehensive plan of educational utilization in which the golf course will be used in the instruction of students
Mr Warners letter reviewed requirements that outdoor educational programs must meet for conveyance of the property On the matter of public use along with educational use he wrote Facilities should be open to the general public but only on a schedule which provides first priority of use for the educational program for which the property was conveyed While total fulltime use of the property is encouraged it is imperative that nonprogram uses do not interfere in any way with the educational use
