Drop Continued from Front Cover
gram in the past five years a report to the Regents indicated
Also according to the report
West Georgia College has experienced increased difficulty in locating appropriate clinical opportunities for students in this program
An institutional assessment of the situation and consultation with professional associations was followed by a decision that the program in medical technology should be phased out and that future applicants who expressed an interest in the area would be advised to consider the bachelors degree program in biology as an alternate route to their career goal
The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Latin American studies was approved by the Board of Regents in 196768 Only two degrees have been awarded in this program in the past five years the Regents were told in the request for the authorization to discontinue the program
The Master of Science degree program in physics was approved by the Board of Regents in 196970 After reviewing the declining enrollment and considering other factors West Georgia College President Maurice K Townsend requested and was granted permission to deactivate this program for evaluation purposes beginning on July 1 1976 and the program was subsequently recommended for discontinuation the Regents were told
The discontinuation of the programs in medical technology Latin American studies and physics was approved by the West Georgia College Faculty Senate the Regents were told
President Townsend has indicated the Regents were also told that students currently enrolled in these programs will be given opportunity to complete their programs of study no new applications for admission to these programs will be accepted and the programs will not be advertised in future college bulletins
It is the judgment of administrators of West Georgia College that the discontinuation of the programs will not have an adverse effect on the further desegregation of the institution the Regents were further advised
Change of Title of Program
Georgia Southern College was given approval to change
the title of the major in music under the Bachelor of Science in Education degree program to a major in fine arts education effective beginning as early as in the 1978 spring quarter
Georgia Southern College is currently offering two degree programs the Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in music and the Bachelor of Music for the preparation of music teachers These programs are similar in that both emphasize music and performance and they generally attract students who are interested in teaching music but have little or no concern for additional preparation to teach in a related field an agenda item considered by the Regents indicated
The agenda item also indicated
The Bachelor of Music degree will be continued as it is currently being offered
The major in fine arts education under the Bachelor of Science in Education degree program will provide a broader program to persons who desire to provide instruction in music and in a basic fine arts area such as art appreciation or integrated arts
The offering of the major in fine arts education will allow Georgia Southern College to provide certification requirements for teaching music with a required related field of art or speech and drama
According to Georgia Southern College Acting President Nicholas W Quick many elementary and secondary schools in the Georgia Southern service area are in need of teachers who are versatile enough to teach a portion of the day in music and the remaining portion in a related fine arts area
Consolidation of Departments
Valdosta State College was given approval to consolidate the Department of Marketing and the Department of Economics within the School of Business Administration effective beginning as early as in the 1978 spring quarter
The consolidated unit will be named the Department of Marketing and Economics

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia held a regular monthly meeting at the office of the Board in Atlanta on January 11
Among the Boards actions at that meeting in addition to those included elsewhere in The System Summary were these
Authorization was given for the execution of a rental agreement providing for the University of Georgia to use office and conference space in Atlanta
The agreement was authorized to be executed between the Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Georgia and Stanley R Fimberg It provides for the rental of 694 square feet of space in the PiedmontInternational Building located at 148 International Boulevard for a fivemonth period beginning on February 1 1978 at a rental of 375 per month with option to renew for an additional year and seven months

Authorization was given for a change in the portfolio of the Louise M Fitten Memorial Fund for the benefit of the Georgia Institute of Technology
The action authorized the sale of 900 shares of Wisconsin Electric Power stock and the purchase of 1400 shares of Central Illinois Public Service stock
According to an agenda item reviewed by the Regents
This recommendation for the change in the portfolio is made upon the advice of the Trust Company of Georgia Trust Department which indicates We are recommending that the dollars invested in the Wisconsin Electric Power be converted to shares of Central Illinois Public Service Wisconsin Electric has been a rewarding investment but at this point it appears to be essentially discounting what we feel are its longer term prospects Moreover by converting those dollars into shares of Central Illinois Public Service we will be meaningfully increasing the income as Central Illinois is yielding approximately 8V2 percent as compared to 7 percent for the Wisconsin Electric
Proceeds from the sale of the Wisconsin Electric Power stock will amount to approximately 27450 the cost of the purchase of the Central Illinois Public Service stock will amount to 21000
The sale price of 27450 represents profittaking in the amount of 4904
Authorization was given for the execution of an

There were numerous inquiries made to the Board of Regents concerning the rental of this land resulting in the taking of bids on January 20 1978 according to an agenda item reviewed by the Regents The highest bid was Mr Greesons and the other bids were 4783 per year for three years and 3522 per year for three years the agenda item also indicated

Explicitness Added to Policy on MilitaryPersonnel Fees
A revision in the Board of Regents policy statement regarding fees to be charged military personnel at University System institutions was adopted by the Board at the February 8 meeting
The revision deals with military personnel sent to Georgia solely for the purpose of attending a University System institution
The text of the newly revised policy statement is Military personnel and their dependents stationed in Georgia and on active duty except military personnel assigned to University System institutions for educational purposes shall pay at University System institutions the same fees assessed residents of Georgia
The text of the superseded policy statement was Military personnel and their dependents stationed in Georgia and on active duty will not be assessed at University System institutions a nonresident fee but shall pay
the same fees assessed residents of Georgia
The Regents were told through an agenda item
The original statement of policy has proven to be reasonable and clear except that it is silent on the matter of military personnel who are sent to Georgia solely for the purpose of attending college in one of the University System institutions It has been assumed that the Board of Regents did not intend to extend the waiver of nonresident tuition to this type of student This change makes this a part of the policy statement rather than an interpretation
The original policy statement waiving nonresident fees for military personnel and their dependents stationed in Georgia and on active duty was approved by the Board of Regents in January 1977 to become effective at the beginning of the 1977 summer quarter

CHRONOLOGY OF 1977 PLAN ON SYSTEM DESEGREGATION
The Board of Regents on August 26 1977 approved the 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia in compliance with a directive of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW The Board transmitted this Plan dated September 1 to HEW
The HEW directive for the preparation of the 1977 Plan was issued on order of the US District Court of the District of Columbia The District Court ruled on April 1 1977 that the 1974 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents and approved by HEW in June 1974 was found to be not adequate to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and therefore must be revised The District Court also ordered HEW to prepare criteria or guidelines to be used in the preparation of the revised plan for the University System of Georgia as well as for the systems of public higher education in five other states in the South
The edicts for the revised desegregation plans have resulted from a lawsuit filed in the District Court in 1970 Kenneth Adams et al plaintiffs v the Secretary of HEW et al defendants widely known as The Adams Case In this case the District Court has continually reviewed HEWs efforts to desegregate public higher education in several states in the South
Deficiencies in the 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia as evaluated by HEW were outlined in letters of October 19 and January 5 from David S Tatel director of the HEW Office for Civil Rights to Chancellor George L Simpson Jr of the University System Beginning soon after October 19 the Special Regents Drafting Committee provided clarifications and amplifications to bolster the 1977 Plan The responses that were provided prior to March 8 were made through several conferences with HEW officials and staff members and through a letter sent after being reviewed for content by the full Board of Regents on December 15
HEW Secretary Joseph A Califano Jr on February 2 announced that the 1977 Plan did not meet District Courtordered criteria He also announced that as a consequence HEW would begin proceedings under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to diminish the availability of federal funds to the University System
The addendum to the 1977 Plan as approved by the Board of Regents at the March 8 meeting was response primarily to Mr Tatels January 5 letter to Chancellor Simpson The acceptance by HEW of this addendum apparently removed the immediate threat of diminishment by HEW action of federal funds to the University System
The next anticipated major hurdle for the overall 1977 Plan will be the evaluation by HEW of the Board of Regents report on the actions set forth in the March 8approved addendum including the structure of the University System institutions that are scheduled to be taken by July 1

The System Summary
NEW COMMITMENTS OF BOARD
Addendum Adopted March 8 Expands Desegregation Plan Of The University System
An addendum to the 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia was adopted by the Board of Regents at the March 8 meeting The action was taken to comply with a US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW edict
The newly adopted document deals with three matters
A study of the present structures of University System institutions and of options for future structures of these institutions with primary concentration on the three predominantly black senior colleges Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College and 10 other System senior colleges and junior colleges in proximity thereto
Desegregation of student enrollment
Desegregation of faculties administrative staffs and nonacademic personnel and the Board of Regents
The addendum was accepted by HEW through an announcement released in a news conference held by that agency in Washington within a few hours after its adoption by the Board of Regents It was prepared by a Special Regents Drafting Committee of five members This committee Board of Regents Vice Chairman Milton Jones as chairman and Regents Scott Candler Jr Rufus B Coody Erwin A Friedman and Elridge W McMillan as members also drafted the overall 1977 Plan
Representatives from HEW consulted with the Regents drafting committee in the writing of the entire addendum and they concurred in the final wording of the document the drafting committee chairman Regent Jones told the Board Representatives of HEW assured representatives of the Board of Regents prior to the March 8 meeting that the adoption and forwarding to HEW of the addendum would put the Georgia Plan in compliance Regent Jones also told the Board
The study of the structures of the University System institutions will concern plans for further enhancement of the three predominantly black senior colleges of the University System Regent Jones said in a statement proposing adoption of the addendum
The study is scheduled to be completed by July 1 1978 and the conclusions thereof are scheduled to be forwarded to the HEW Office for Civil Rights immediately following the August 1978 meeting of the Board of Regents It will involve input from a number of sources including the public officials and staff members of the Board of RegentsUniversity System and of the System institutions faculty members students and alumni of the System institutions
All aspects of the study will be conducted under the general direction of the Special Regents Drafting Committee
The addendum adopted at the March 8 meeting commits the Board to take a number of other actions along
with completing the study of the structures of the institutions by July 1 1978
The addendum was transmitted in a letter to David S Tatel director of the HEW Office for Civil Rights signed for the Board of Regents by Chancellor George L Simpson Jr and Chairman Charles T Oxford
Full Text of Addendum
The full text of the addendum adopted on March 8 is
This additional clarifying material is provided in support of the September 1 1977 document entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia and together with that document and our letter of December 15 1977 comprises the response of the Board of Regents to your request for a revised desegregation plan This letter is structured in keeping with the format of your letter of January 5 1978 and is believed to address each fundamental point presented in that letter
This response was prepared by the Special Regents Drafting Committee and has been reviewed and endorsed as to content by the full Board of Regents
I Structure of the University System
The Board of Regents will immediately initiate a study to be completed no later than July 1 1978 of the academic program structure of the three historically black institutions Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College and other geographically proximate twoyear and fouryear sister institutions as well as institutions with related special functional program areas such as agriculture home economics and engineering technology
This study will encompass but not necessarily be limited to the following institutional groups
Albany State College Albany Junior College Georgia Southwestern College Columbus College Fort Valley State College Valdosta State College
Fort Valley State College Macon Junior College Gordon Junior College Middle Georgia College Georgia College Columbus College Albany State College
Savannah State College Armstrong State College Georgia Southern College
This study will examine the entire curriculum of each of the institutions involved in the study It will pay particular attention to graduate programs offered at both traditionally black and traditionally white institutions with similar service areas and will include a review of the assumptions underlying the undergraduate degree program structures detailed on pages 1618 of the September I 1977 portion of the Plan System Summary Note See Reference A With respect to consideration of unnecessary program duplication particular attention will be given to programs of Business Administration and Education

Desegregation Continued from Page 7
a statement of basic educational principles for all of the Systems 12 senior colleges was set forth in the 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia dated September 1 1977
Some excerpts from the 1977 Plan are
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
The Degree Programs section of the commitment statement indicates
Basic educational principles upon which program development decisions are made suggest that 12 areas of study should be available in all 12 senior colleges 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 senior colleges 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 Armstrong State College
Additional areas of study beyond the broad generic areas are also available at selected institutions
The text of the addendum adopted on March 8 continues
The conclusions of this study will include the specification of a institutional missions on a basis other than race b the mission of each institution by level range and scope of programs and degrees offered c the projected size of the student body and staff of each institution d the principal geographic area served by each institution and e the identification of programs which should be eliminated realigned unified or specialized for the purpose of achieving further desegregation The options which will be considered will include
D merger of one institution with another
2 the specialization of institutions by having one teach only lower division classes and the other upper division and graduate classes
3 the formation of a lower division branch campus 4 a the installation of unique programs on a predominately black campus and b the closing of certain educationally unnecessary duplicated program areas in predominately white institutions in the case of Fort Valley State College option 4 a and b may be implemented independently of one another andor
5 other such options or combination of options as might be revealed as a consequence of the study
The Board of Regents will select from the above options for each institution The following are set forth as examples of the types of actions which may be adopted as a result of the study
i At Savannah in the event of a merger of the two institutions Armstrong State College Savannah State
College the result will be an institution operating under one administrative and academic structure which may be accomplished in steps
ii At Albany the Regents could utilize options 1 2 andor 3 resulting in one institution or in a system where the first two years will be at Albany Junior College and the last two years and graduate years at Albany State College Albany State College being the senior institution will not be a branch campus if option 3 is chosen
iii Under Option 4 at Savannah State College there could be an elaboration and enrichment of the Engineering Technology program the Dietetics program andor the Business Administration program This development could be related to a special new program in urban community problems especially as these involve innercity minorities and the evolving pattern of new urban relationships Additionally a special program could be developed in the area of marine science in combination with the resources and programs currently in effect at Skidaway Oceanographic Institute and elsewhere in the Savannah area Consideration will also be given to the utility of closing duplicating programs Another possibility would be to maintain teacher training at Armstrong State College while maintaining the Business program at Savannah State Other areas to be considered would include Music Social Work and Allied Health Sciences
These considerations would be made in conjunction with the indicated extension of joint and cooperative programs between the two institutions
iv At Albany State College there could be an immediate enrichment and expansion in Education at the graduate level Also a concentration in Allied Health Sciences would be a major new departure building on the fouryear Nursing program already in place This institution could become a center for southwestern Georgia in both training programs and service work in the field of rural life community development and environmental conservation Consideration would also be given to eliminating duplication with Valdosta State College in Valdosta Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton Georgia Southwestern College in Americus and Albany Junior College In particular teacher training and business education could be used in this situation With respect to the schools in Albany certain areas such as Music and Allied Health Sciences could be concentrated at Albany State College
v At Fort Valley State College there could be a major concentration of teaching research and extension activity on peaches Fort Valley being in the center of the Georgia peachgrowing region This would involve the movement of new personnel into Fort Valley It would enhance both the educational and extension activity in agriculture In addition consideration will be given to expanding the Fort Valley Master of Education degree program to include adding Early Childhood Education Special Education and Secondary Education
With regard to Fort Valley State College the possibilities for eliminating duplication are not clearcut but consideration will be given to the utility of closing programs at nearby predominately white institutions such as Georgia Southwestern College at Americus the Georgia

Whichever options are selected from the study they will result in either a the combination of two institutions or b a significant portion of the student bodies of each institution being in unduplicated programs either by differentiation by degree program or class level or in the case of Fort Valley in addition to a or b c the introduction of programs reasonably expected to result in enrollment of a significant number of otherrace students
It is understood that the selection of actions to be taken as a result of this study are matters entirely within the Board of Regents discretion However we understand that until the Director of OCR Office for Civil Rights approves in writing the actions proposed and the implementing steps the Department of Health Education and Welfare will not accept the results of the study
The study will commence with an appeal for broad public input as well as input from the constituent administrators faculty students and alumni and will focus on means by which further desegregation can be accomplished
In any event whichever options are adopted they will be implemented in a fair and nondiscriminatory fashion Full recognition will be given to circumstances such as faculty tenure and general academic levels of affected students
If any selected option results in the dismissal or demotion of any faculty staff or administrator such dismissal or demotion will be done in accordance with published nondiscriminatory standards Whatever adjustments are required will be accomplished without placing a disproportionate burden upon black students faculty or employees
The study conclusions will be submitted to OCR immediately following the August 1978 meeting of the Board of Regents The study conclusions will he specific with regard to each program or programs identified for elimination realignment unification or specialization and to each institutions restructuring to be undertaken In the case of program modifications the institutions which will offer the program and the estimated enrollment by race of the program will be provided The study conclusions will also contain a schedule for the implementation of actions required and of the projected costs of such actions The schedule will provide for the completion of the actions specified prior to the end of the 198283 academic year
The Board of Regents will continue providing to the traditionally black institutions the facilities quality and range of programs degree offerings faculties student assistance and other resources which are at least comparable to those at traditionally white institutions having similar missions The Board of Regents also agrees to the continued provision of those necessary improvements and expansions required to enable the traditionally black institutions to continue to fulfill their defined missions Further the Board agrees to eliminate educationally unnecessary program duplication
The above study will include an additional detailed assessment of the physical plant and operating resources of the predominately black institutions to the extent that
such information is not currently available in previous plans and reports Previously presented information will also be collated for convenience
The expansion of the Savannah State College and Armstrong State College joint programs to include Fine Arts Art Education and Earth Sciences will be implemented in the Fall Quarter 1978 collateral with the above described comprehensive studies This action recommended by the Savannah State College Armstrong State College Duplication Committee is expected to involve 425 students in the first year of operation with total institutional expenditures of approximately 1000000 It should be reiterated at this point that students graduating from joint programs receive half of their total work on each campus and are awarded a diploma bearing the names of both institutions
The additional cooperative programs planned in the areas of Biology Chemistry and Physics Mathematics and Computer Science and Criminal Justice will also be implemented in the Fall Quarter 1978 The level of student involvement anticipated and the projected total institutional costs are presented below as derived from current fiscal year perstudent cost figures and enrollment projection data previously submitted

The further implementation of graduate studies in teacher education at Albany State College was dealt with in a letter dated December 15 1977 to David S Tatel director of the Office for Civil Rights of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW from Chancellor George L Simpson Jr of the University System of Georgia That letter contained material prepared by the Special Regents Drafting Committee for the 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia and was reviewed for content by the full Board of Regents The material consisted of clarifications and amplifications of the 1977 Plan It was written in response to an October 19 1977 letter from Mr Tatel listing deficiencies in the 1977 Plan dated September 1
The December 15 letter indicates
Another important facet of this Plan involves the further implementation of graduate studies in teacher education at Albany State College through cooperative efforts with Georgia State University This step is facilitated by the recent receipt of National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education

NCATE accreditation of the undergraduate program at Albany State College
The Board of Regents at its meeting of July 12 1972 approved a Plan of Agreement between Georgia State University and Albany State College whereby Georgia State University would offer graduate studies in the area of Elementary Education on the College campus This agreement has continued and through expansion now encompasses Secondary Education majors in Business Education English Education Health and Physical Education Mathematics Education Music Education and Science Education Each Albany State College program counterpart at the undergraduate level now has national recognition through September 1981 from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
The ContinuationTransition Agreement approved by the Board of Regents provided that the work would be phased into Albany State Colleges Program in two phases namely
Phase One Georgia State University courses would be offered
Phase Two Courses would be crosslisted between the University and the College
Phase Three Course offerings would be Albany State College courses
The Board of Regents under this Plan commits itself to the further enhancement of Albany State through the implementation of Phase Two as described above Under this arrangement twofold authorization would be provided namely
1 Permission for Albany State College to begin graduate course work no later than the fall quarter 1979 in the same Approved Planned Program Areas offering the same courses as are currently given in the present Georgia State UniversityAlbany State College arrangement
2 Permission for Georgia Stare University and Albany State College to continue the joint arrangement but crosslisting the Georgia State University graduate courses with the Albany State College graduate courses
All stipulations indicated and accepted in previous signed agreements will remain effective in this Second Phase of operation
The principle of this approach has full encouragement support and endorsement of the concerned officials of the School of Education and the School of Arts and Sciences at Georgia State University
Students currently in the program and those who are admitted during the two quarters immediately preceding implementation of Phase Two will have the option of receiving either the Georgia State University or Albany State College degree and diploma Persons accepted after Phase Two implementation will receive the Albany State College degree and diploma Georgia State University applications will continue to be used during Phase Two Duplicates will be retained for Albany State College files Transcripts will be kept at both institutions Other operative details will be worked out by mutual agreement
A table on enrollments of the Albany State CollegeGeorgia State University cooperative program attached to the December 15 letter indicates
Enrollment was 46 students in the 1972 fall quarter and was 111 students in the 1977 fall quarter The summer quarter enrollments which have generally substantially exceeded enrollments in other quarters have been 123 in 1973 192 in 1974 239 in 1975 and 249 in 1976 The numbers of students enrolled in successive quarters beginning in the fall of 1975 and continuing through the fall of 1977 have been 186 195 180 249 175 176 164 214 111
The text of the addendum adopted on March 8 continues
The Board agrees to give priority consideration to applications by the traditionally black institutions for the establishment of any new undergraduate graduate or professional degree program courses of study etc consistent with their missions the requirements of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the maintenance of academic standards The Board will also in considering any appli
cation from a traditionally white institution for any such program take into account its goals for further desegregation under the Plan However it is recognized that the Board of Regents has an obligation to the entire state in the provision of educational services
Sections IE and IF of the portion of the Plan dated September 1 1977 address your request for an explicit commitment by the Board of Regents to withhold approval of substantive changes which may thwart desegregation goals Specifically quoting from page 158 of the portion of the Plan dated September 1 1977
The Board of Regents commits itself to advise the Office for Civil Rights in advance of action on major changes in the character of any institution in the University System if in the Boards judgment such changes would appreciably affect the further desegregation objectives of the System Such prior notification would be limited to major changes
In all instances decisionmaking authority would vest with the Board of Regents which acknowledges responsibility for proper subsequent determinations of compliance or noncompliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act As described on page 156 of the portion of the Plan dated September 1 1977 the Board of Regents will continue its efforts directed toward the identification of the desegregation impact of any proposal related to the initiation or elimination of academic programs the development of facilities on existing campuses and the development of new institutions System Summary Note See Reference C The Board agrees to withhold any actions which would thwart the achievement of its desegregation goals

Source 1977 Plan Dated September 1
A section of the 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia dated September 1 contained a commitment by the Board of Regents to continue the Boards efforts toward the identification of specific proposals with potential impact on desegregation and the development of appropriate impact statements on such proposals
A synopsis of this commitment is
General operations of the University System require numerous decisions related to initiation or elimination of a academic programs b facilities development on existing campuses c the development of new institutions and d the modification of institutional admissions standards Each of these decisions is primarily based upon consideration of Systemwide educational research or service objectives It is also true that a limited number of such decisions require an evaluation of the potential impact of the decision on the specific desegregation efforts of one or more System institutions
The Board of Regents commits itself under this Plan to the continued identification of those specific proposals which have potential impact on desegregation efforts and to the development of appropriate impact statements directed toward a measure of the net projected effect expected from the implementation of such proposals
The procedure for implementation of the commitment as set forth in the 1977 Plan 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

The System Summary
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

II Desegregation of Student Enrollment
Your expressed concerns with regard to enrollment figures appear to evolve from our use of the term projection rather than the term goal We are pleased to clarify this matter by offering the following definitions as derived from our series of negotiations
Based on your assurance to us that the term goal is unequivocally interpreted not to be a rigid requirement which the University System is absolutely required to achieve the term projection as used in this Plan is synonymous with the term goal presented in the Guidelines Specifically from the preamble to the Guidelines of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare submitted to the Board of Regents for use in preparation of the 1977 Plan These goals are not quotas The Department is opposed to arbitrary quotas Failure to achieve a goal is not sufficient evidence standing alone to establish a violation of Title VI
Specifically it is further understood that no finding of noncompliance will be made if a goal is not met as long as all good faith efforts which are educationally sound were made to achieve it
In this context it is further noted from page 9 of the Guidelines that Most importantly under these criteria and the goals they set all applicants must be able to compete successfully States efforts under these criteria need not and should not lead to lowering academic standards Pages 183184 of the portion of the Plan dated September 1 1977 reveal that at the present time at least equal proportions of black and white state resident graduates from undergraduate institutions enter and graduate from state graduate schools System Summary Note See Reference D The Board of Regents adopts as a goal the continued parity of black and white state residents who graduate from undergraduate institutions and enter graduate or professional schools in the University System

The table on the following page Projections University System of Georgia Graduate and Professional Enrollment shows graduate enrollment projections from 1976 through 1982
Graduate and professional enrollments have reached a level which is expected to remain essentially constant in the University System as a whole This accounts for the assumption reflected in the table of All Other enrollments remaining at a constant level
The Table on page 183 of the September 1 1977 portion of the Plan indicates that while total black enrollment in University System graduate programs exceeds the proportionate graduation rates by blacks at the bachelor s level there are certain areas where blacks have not traditionally pursued graduate work in substantial numbers System Summary Note See Reference D The table on the following page Projections University System of Georgia Graduate and Professional Enrollment pays particular attention to this factor and in each instance reflects an increase in black graduate student enrollment to a level commensurate with black undergraduate graduation rates

Source Letter Dated December 15 1977
Board of Regents support for providing new scholarships for economically disadvantaged graduate students was set forth in a letter dated December 15 1977 to David S Tatel director of the Office for Civil Rights of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW from Chancellor George L Simpson Jr of the University System of Georgia
That letter indicates
While the Board of Regents cannot commit itself to graduation rates for bachelor level students or admission rates to graduate programs it does make the commitment to seek enabling legislation in the general form of the attached Draft Bill and annual funding in the amount of 500000 for 100 scholarships of 5000 each in support of economically disadvantaged student participation in selected academic disciplines The disciplines selected will be those where minority representation has been traditionally low
An attachment to the letter included a copy of a draft of a bill proposed for enactment by the General Assembly at its 1978 session to authorize awarding scholarships grants or cancellable loans to economically disadvantaged students who are Georgia residents enrolled in a graduate or professional degree program in the University System of Georgia
The proposed bill was passed authorizing the awarding of the scholarships as set forth in the December 15 letter

The 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia dated September 1 set forth some details of four special programs for educationally disadvantaged students at the Medical College of Georgia
The special offerings as described in the 1977 Plan include a summer program for rising junior college students a summer program for rising senior college students a summer program for preregistered medical students and a tutorial program for medical students during their first two years of the medical curriculum
The 1977 Plan indicated
These programs are for college students from underrepresented and disadvantaged groups of citizens who are innately talented and highly motivated toward becoming a physician or entering one of the other medical professions but who have suffered educationally from poorquality schooling usually at the elementary or secondary level
The state appropriation for the 197879 fiscal year includes 250000 to support the special programs in medicine and allied health fields

The System Summary
reasonable academic counseling and other steps to increase retention of students Based on past experience it is reasonably expected that these steps will continue to reduce the disparity between the proportion of black and white graduates
For example as mentioned on pages 4554 of Part II of the September 1 1977 portion of the Plan the Special Studies program will continue to be implemented to aid in the retention of students System Summary Note See Reference G Institutions will also be directed to study the availability of services to aid student retention such as academic personal and vocational counseling on their campuses Where writing reading and mathematics laboratories are found inadequate efforts will be made to improve such facilities and services Institutions not currently providing tutorial services will be assisted in establishing tutoring services The Georgia State University See Appendix I University of Georgia and Georgia Tech programs could provide examples of counseling and tutoring components that other institutions could consider
Institutions will be encouraged to explore the use of state and federal funds as well as the use of student and adult volunteers in providing services designed to aid in retention of students
The Board will submit by July 1 1978 a description of the continuing and new actions to be taken to provide services to aid in the retention of students

The 1977 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia dated September 1 sets forth the details of the development and continued operation of the University System of Georgias Special Studies Program of noncredit remedial courses in English reading and mathematics for college applicants who cannot perform in regular college courses in these subjects
The Plan indicates
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
The Special Studies Program which has been in operation on a University Systemwide basis since 1974 was a major element of the 1974 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia It was designed and is operated for students of all races
The 1977 Plan indicates
Evidence to date clearly indicates that programs of compensatory studies of the type Special Studies provided by the University System create an avenue to collegelevel activity for many previously poorly prepared students of all races
The text of the addendum adopted on March 8 continues
With regard to undergraduate enrollees the Board of Regents agrees to the continued absolute mobility of students between and among University System institutions through the established mechanism of the Core Curriculum and other similar methods Data previously submitted confirm that the Core Curriculum provides both lateral and vertical mobility for students as determined only by their academic performance at their institution of origin
III Desegregation of Faculty
Administrative Staffs
Nonacademic Personnel and the Board of Regents
The Board of Regents agrees to continue efforts to increase the level of black faculty and administrators at each institution in positions not requiring the doctoral degree and will set forth in institutional affirmative action plans and a plan for the staff of the Board of Regents by June 1 1978 the steps timetables and goals techniques and methodology by which the commitments set forth below will be accomplished Further the Board agrees to continue efforts to increase the proportion of black faculty and administrators at each institution in positions requiring the doctoral degree to a level at least equal to the proportion of black individuals with the credentials required for such positions in the relevant labor market area The Board agrees to the commitment with regard to personnel serving in nonacademic positions The timetable for listing this will also be June 1 1978
Specifically within the definition of goal as distinguished from quota set forth earlier in this letter the Board of Regents adopts the following generalized employment goals
1 The proportion of black faculty and administrators at each institution and on the staff of the governing board in positions not requiring the doctoral degree shall at least equal the proportion of black students graduating with appropriate masters degrees from institutions within the state system or the proportion of black individuals with the required credentials for such positions in the relevant labor market area whichever is greater
2 The proportion of black faculty and administrators at each institution and on the staff of the governing board in positions requiring the doctoral degree shall at least equal the proportion of black individuals with credentials required for such positions in the relevant labor market area
3 The proportion of black nonacademic personnel by job category at each institution and on the staff of the governing board or any other state higher education entity shall at least equal the proportion of black persons with the credentials required in the relevant labor market area
4 Hereafter and until the foregoing goals are met the additional goal is adopted that for the University System as a whole the proportion of other race persons hired to fill faculty and administrative vacancies shall not be less than the proportion of other race individuals with the credentials required for such positions in the relevant labor market area
Although every effort will be made by the institutions to meet the objectives set forth in the Georgia Desegregation Plan several points must be mentioned in order to clarify the myriad problems faced by the individual institutions not the least of which is overlapping federal regulations The universitylevel institutions are required to meet minority hiring goals that include but are not limited to blacks All institutions in the University System

are required by law or federal regulations not to discriminate on the basis of race color religion national origin sex handicap or age Executive Order 11246 as amended by Executive Order 11375 Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 Title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Older American Act of 1975 Also most institutions in the University System are required by federal regulations covering the Vietnam Era veteran to give special attention to the disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam Era Such overlapping federal regulations complicate the employment process
Other problems faced by institutions in the University System include stable or declining enrollment unusual faculty stability infrequent turnover in other employment categories and a possible future openended retirement age required by either state or federal law or both These problems will cause projected vacancies and new positions to be low
Another problem confronted by each institution is the availability data Availability data at best is unreliable regardless of the number of different sources referenced because the organizations compiling the data cannot take into consideration such variables as death current employment status employment desired or not desired and selfemployment
Timetables and goals established in each affirmative action plan are based on projected employment turnover anticipated new positions and projected market availability In view of the above certain measures are being taken to achieve these goals such as the University System Applicant Clearinghouse the minority applicant exchange program with the State of Florida the black faculty development programs the special minority search committee and an annual update and progress report of affirmative action efforts
The University System Applicant Clearinghouse is currently being expanded to include an administration and faculty vacancy listing which would include EEO6 categories I II and III except those positions in categories I and III that are filled with applicants from counties contiguous to the institution The vacancy listing will be sent to each institution in the University System and to the historically black institutions in the states contiguous to the State of Georgia
In connection with this expansion the University System Applicant Clearinghouse has an agreement with the Office of Personnel and Faculty Relations in Florida to exchange minority applicants on a quarterly basis This exchange will increase the number of minority applicants and create a more effective clearinghouse for the University System institutions
The Board of Regents also agrees to a continuation of existing efforts directed toward the recruitment retention and development of black faculty Examples of such current and projected activities include but are not limited to the following
a Since the early 1960s the University System has been engaged in a faculty development program which
permits black faculty to attain a terminal degree while receiving financial assistance from the supporting institution
b A special minority Search and Find Committee was established by the Chancellor and held its first meeting on January 9 1978 The purpose of this Committee is as its name suggests to identify and find blacks who are qualified for administrative and faculty positions in the University System of Georgia and to refer for consideration their names and vitae to institutions with the appropriate vacancies These names will also be added to the Applicant Clearinghouse in those instances where permission is granted by the persons concerned The Committee is composed of two representatives selected from the historically black colleges and representatives from the universities the other senior colleges and the junior level institutions
c Graduates receiving advanced degrees will be invited to submit their names for inclusion in the Applicant Clearinghouse Such inclusion would insure that their interest would be brought to the attention of all University System institutions

The section listed minimum steps required for employment of minorities and women in academic positions in administrative and managerial positions and in other EEO6 job categories It also listed sources prepared to refer minorities and women applicants with specific skills
The text of the addendum adopted on March 8 continues
An annual update and progress report of affirmative action efforts will be required of each institution These reports will be crossreferenced to the goals established in the institutions affirmative action plan
The composition of the Board of Regents is a matter over which the Board has no control as Board members are appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate of the State General Assembly At the present time the Board has two black members on a fifteenmember Board It is reasonable to assume that the percentage of minority Board members will increase as new appointments are made by the Governor and his successors in office
Again let me express our appreciation for the continued assistance which you have provided in the mutual efforts of the Board of Regents and the Department of Health Education and Welfare to address the exceedingly complex and fundamental matters presented in any realistic solution of the problem at hand

Specifications on Staff Jobs Will Go Into Effect in July
The University System of Georgia Classification Plan for Staff Positions was approved by the Board of Regents at the April 12 meeting
The Plan which had been under development for more than a year was approved for implementation on July 1 1978 It covers approximately 12000 employees at all units of the University System This group is made up of the employees who are not exempt from provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act
The Plan includes job descriptions of more than 300 jobs currently defined into 19 groups These descriptions were determined in a study that involved gathering sorting and evaluating data on job content of all staff positions in the University System Most of this work was done on the campuses of University System institutions through the cooperative efforts of the staff employees whose positions were being classified and other personnel of the institutions The study was coordinated through the Board of Regents Office Consultation services were provided by Hay Associates
Job titles for all the positions covered by the Plan will become effective on July 1 The Plan is intended to provide throughout the University System a substantial degree of consistency of job content for each job title
The Classification Plan for Staff Positions is the first phase of a twophase Salary and Wage Administration
Program that the Board of Regents authorized and contracted with Hay Associates to assist with in 1976 The second phase encompassing approximately 12000 professional and administrative employees all the University Systems employees except teaching faculty members and the staff employees included in the first phase is in progress
The twophase program was initiated with the announced objective of providing job descriptions and pay scales for all affected employees to provide a basis for a plan for builtin pay increases
The Classification Plan for Staff Positions adopted by the Board in April did not include a pay plan for any of the staff positions
May 910 Meeting at Tifton
The next regular meeting of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has been scheduled for May 910 at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton

Honorary Degree Bar is Off For President Jimmy Carter
The Board of Regents has cleared the way for awarding President Jimmy Carter an honorary doctoral degree most likely to be conferred by the Georgia Institute of Technology
The action taken by the Board at the May 910 meeting was a departure from a longstanding formal policy that prohibits the awarding of honorary degrees by institutions of the University System however it did not regularly alter that policy It specified a condition for breaching the formal policy that makes frequent awarding of an honorary degree highly unlikely
The policy of the Board pertaining to honorary degrees which has been in effect since December 1950 provides Honorary degrees shall not be conferred by institutions of the University System
The action taken by the Board at the May 910 meeting n a proposal by Regent Charles A Harris provides Any
person attending a University System institution and who attains the office of President of the United States may at the discretion of the Board and in conjunction with the faculty of the institution involved be granted an appropriate doctoral degree
President Carter attended two University System institutions Georgia Southwestern College and Georgia Institute of Technology He graduated from the US Naval Academy
The Board in April 1977 voted to bestow on President Carter some appropriate type of formal recognition Regent Harris who proposed that action indicated that President Carters office had advised that any ceremony for such recognition should be scheduled in 1978 The Board at that time did not indicate the type of recognition to be given though an honorary degree was discussed as a possibility
The Boards discussions pertaining to the awarding of such a degree both at the April 1977 meeting and at the May 1978 meeting were focused on the Georgia Institute of Technology as the institution from which the award might be made
May 1978

Holiday for Voting Dropped Excused Absences Continued
A revised policy dealing with excused absences to permit voting by students attending University System institutions was adopted by the Board of Regents at the May 910 meeting
The text of the revised policy listed under Section J3 of the policies of the Board is
STUDENT VOTING PRIVILEGES
Students are encouraged to vote in all federal state and local elections A student whose class schedule would otherwise prevent him or her from voting will be permitted an excused absence for the interval reasonably required for voting
The text of the former policy superseded by the May 910 action was
HOLIDAYS FOR VOTING
Institutions shall afford students opportunities to register and when reasonably necessary should excuse students for one day in order to return home for the purpose of voting
On the occasion of statewide elections a holiday shall be declared to enable students to return to their homes and cast their ballots in accordance with their rights and duties as citizens of the state
Through an agenda item setting forth the proposal for the revision of the policy the Regents were told
Since many of our colleges today are located in communities where students make their homes and since students can now easily and quickly travel to their homes if located elsewhere it is no longer deemed necessary for schools to declare a holiday to allow students to vote The proposed revision would allow excused absences for students who do need time to return home to vote
Budgets of 14 Units Voted Others Up for June Action

Board Votes for GSU to Drop One of Doctorates in Business
Discontinuance of the Doctor of Business Administration degree program at Georgia State University was approved by the Board of Regents at the July 12 meeting
The closeout of the program insofar as new enrollment is involved will become effective in the 1978 fall quarter
According to Georgia State President Noah Langdale Jr this program has been found to be redundant as the objectives of the DBA can now be accomplished within the PhD in business administration program the Regents were told in an agenda item
The Regents were also told
The DBA degree program was authorized by the Board of Regents in June 1961 to become effective in September 1962
Since demand for the DBA program has been small President Langdale feels that dropping the program will conserve resources and free faculty time that can be used to improve the quality of the PhD program
No new students will be accepted into the DBA program Students currently enrolled in the DBA program will be given two options to switch to the PhD in business administration program or to complete the program and receive the DBA degree Since there are no courses specifically identified for the DBA program the latter option would require that the program structure and administrative requirement be kept in effect until the students graduate

According to the policy of the Board of Regents if the construction contract amount exceeds the previously established construction budget by 20 percent it is customary to require the architect to redesign the project with the expectation of securing the project at a more favorable price At a meeting of the Buildings and Grounds Committee on August 23 1978 the chairman of the Board and the Buildings and Grounds Committee authorized the rejection of these bids and we have already instructed the architect to proceed with the redesign of the project
There was no way that we could finance the project out of the 197778 fiscal year supplemental state appropriation funds and bond funds

Health Physics Continued from Front Cover
Master of Applied Nuclear Science degree since 1972
At an early stage it became clear that the masters program would benefit from the existence of an undergraduate program It also became apparent that there was a large demand in the nuclear industry government agencies and at medical facilities for graduates with a BS degree with specialization in health physics For several years attempts have been made to operate such a program through the School of Physics leading to a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics Experience has shown this is not a workable arrangement None of the physics faculty are directly involved in the area of specialization which had led to a lack of interest in promoting the area and insufficient visibility to attract potential students Consequently it is proposed to place the program newly authorized Bachelor of Science in Health Physics in the School of Nuclear Engineering where the faculty the graduate health physics program and relevant laboratory and other facilities are already located
Changes in Names of Administrative Units
The University of Georgia received approval to change the name of the School of Home Economics to the College of Home Economics effective beginning on September 14 1978
The name change which was requested by University of Georgia President Fred C Davison has the full approval of the Academic Affairs Advisory Committee according to an agenda item presented to the Regents
The agenda item also indicated
The name change will not require any administrative or budgetary change
An analysis of academic units within the university reveals that each unit bears the name of College with the exception of the professional schools and the School of Home Economics Since the School of Home Economics is not a professional school the name is out of concert with similar units
The School of Home Economics now offers the PhD degree in child and family development The term School does not convey either identification with the PhD degree or a colleagueship image with other units of the university
It is felt that the prestige stemming from this redesignation would assist in attracting students from within the state of Georgia the region and other parts of the country
Georgia Southern College was given approval to change the name of the Division of Student Personnel Services to the Division of Student Affairs effective beginning on September 14 1978
The name change which was requested by Georgia Southern College President Dale W Lick has been discussed within the division dealing with student services at the college and it has the concurrence of all faculty and staff involved the Regents were advised in a staffprepared agenda item
Also according to the agenda item
The new name according to President Lick will be consistent with other student affairs division titles throughout the University System It will also alleviate confusion among Georgia Southern College students as the college has a personnel office which is listed as personnel services

Breakdown of Request
197879 Supplemental State Appropriation
The funds requested from a supplemental state appropriation would provide 47110000 for capital outlay and 2506926 for supplement for auxiliary enterprises at institutions
The capital outlay funds would include 5810000 for property acquisitions for University System institutions and 41300000 for continuing the general construction program at System institutions
The supplement for auxiliary enterprises would be used to eliminate accumulated auxiliary enterprises deficits at selected institutions according to a summary statement of the request approved by the Board The deficits for which the money would be used are at seven institutions and the individual institutional deficits range from 58475 to 737628 the summary statement indicated
The summary statement also indicated
Management of auxiliary enterprises in the University System is accomplished at the institutional level In this way each institution is encouraged to exercise its initiative and management to adjust to local needs Balance sheets and operating statements are prepared for each institution then combined into a University System balance sheet and op
erating statement The presentation of the System balance sheet tends to indicate System management of these enterprises when actually this is not the case
Factors have combined to produce a serious situation in the auxiliary enterprises operations for certain institutions This situation does not reveal itself in the combined statement of operation for the University System or in the balance sheet for the entire System The portions of the financial report dealing with auxiliary enterprises operations for the entire System are consolidations of the statements of all institutions of the System Collectively they appear quite healthy but viewed independently some are in quite serious condition
In the University System it is universally true that the student housing operation of the institutions auxiliary enterprises is the most critical If other operations are not supporting themselves it is possible to identify the problems and work toward correction with a planned program This is not possible in the student housing operation since such a major percentage of its costs are fixed costs represented by the lease rental payments which continue regardless of the rate of occupancy of the student housing units
In essence some subsidy to student housing operations must be made This method supplemental state appropriation for supplement for auxiliary enterprises seems to be the most straightforward approach and is one recommended by the Board of Regents
The request for the supplement for auxiliary enterprises seeks to obtain 925500 in new funds and in effect to retain through reappropriation for this special new purpose 1581426 in Authority lease rentals provided in the general state appropriation for the 197879 fiscal year that otherwise would lapse at the end of the year next June 30
The Authority lease rental amount involved is the difference between 19641988 included in the general state appropriation for the 197879 fiscal year for Authority lease rentals and 18060562 scheduled to be paid out for such rentals during the year Several Authority bond issues have been paid off recently reducing the amount of annual Authority lease payments required for amortization of bonds
Acquisition of Existing Housing for Two Units Approved
Moves to obtain existing facilities for use as student housing at two institutions of the University System were authorized by the Board of Regents at the September 13 meeting
These moves are the purchase of the Oglethorpe House a privately owned facility in Athens for use in housing students of the University of Georgia and the execution of a rental agreementpurchase option on property in Statesboro containing six apartment buildings and a clubhouse to be used as additional housing facilities for Georgia Southern College
Facilities for the University of Georgia
The Oglethorpe House a 13yearold ninestory building located on property contiguous to the University of Georgia campus is to be purchased at a net cost not to exceed 52300000 the Regents action stipulated
Through agenda material the Regents were told
The Oglethorpe House is completely airconditioned and includes 506 beds a food service area 186 parking spaces and a swimming pool
The purchase price of 2300000 is well below the average of the three appraisals 3536833 The appraisals were 2400000 4068000 and 4142500
The purchase is to be financed with an initial payment of 1000000 from auxiliary enterprises funds at the University of Georgia and 1300000 to be advanced from trust funds at the university with repayment of the trust funds to be accomplished through annual payments from auxiliary enterprises operations for a period of approximately five years Interest at the current rate on the unpaid balance due the trust funds is to be paid to the trust funds by auxiliary enter

Housing Continuedfrom Page 15 prises on an annual basis
Student housing operated by the university is in great demand in the Athens area and the demand appears to be growing Purchase of this facility will not drastically affect availability of student housing in the Athens area It would appear wise however to purchase this facility at this reasonable price thereby bringing another 500plus student housing spaces under the direction of the trained student housing staff at the University of Georgia
Facilities for Georgia Southern College
The authorization for the execution of a rental agreementpurchase option on the property at Statesboro for the benefit of Georgia Southern College was ratification of administrative approval The administrative approval was given by the chairman of the Board of Regents and the Boards Buildings and Grounds Committee at a meeting on August 23
The rental agreementpurchase option is between the Board of Regents and GMR Properties Jacksonville Florida It encompasses nine acres of improved property containing seven buildings with a total of 137542 square feet of space six apartment buildings with 133423 square feet and a clubhouse office storage space and meeting room with 4119 square feet It covers the period of September 1 1978June 30 1979 at a rental of 217975 with option to renew for seven consecutive years at an annual rental of 255000
Funds for the payments for the rental of this property will
be provided from auxiliary enterprises income at Georgia Southern College
This property which is located adjacent to the Georgia Southern College campus will provide additional dormitory space for Georgia Southern students Georgia Southern College is experiencing a severe housing shortage for the coming fall quarter having approximately 500 more applications than bed assignments available the Regents were told through an agenda item
The agenda item also indicated
The rental agreementpurchase option provides that the Board of Regents will be allowed a credit to the purchase price of the property if the Board decides to exercise the purchase option Credit to be allowed would increase annually from 66000 at the rental period ending on June 30 1979 to 519000 at the rental period ending on June 30 1985 The agenda item did not designate a credit to be allowed at the rental period ending on June 30 1986 the seventh renewal period
One appraisal was made of this property in January 1978 which shows an appraised value of 2330000 If money becomes available to exercise the purchase option before we staff seek Board of Regents approval we will have three appraisals made and it is understood by the present landlordowner that the purchase price will be 1950000 but in no event greater than the average of three appraisals with the credit to purchase price listed in the agenda item subtracted from the purchase price

New Desegregation Actions Approved for Fivce mtp
Merger Plan Rejected
New desegregation commitments focused on bringing about changes at five of the institutions of the University System were adopted by the Board of Regents at a special meeting in Atlanta on October 19
Implementation of these commitments would alter materially some of the educational programs and requirements and the physical facilities of three predominantly black senior colleges Albany State College Albany Fort Valley State College Fort Valley and Savannah State College Savannah Such implementation would also alter in smaller degrees some of the educational programs and requirements of a predominantly white senior college Armstrong State College Savannah and of a predominantly white junior college Albany Junior College Albany
A recommendation to establish a target of whitestudent enrollment of 2530 percent of total enrollment at Albany State College within four years and to merge Albany State with Albany Junior College in the event that white enrollment
should fall short of this target was rejected by the Board at the special meeting
Board of Regents Chairman Milton Jones told the Board that he did not believe the actions taken without the whiteenrollment target and contingencymerger provisions would be accepted by the U S Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW He said HEW for the past five months had insisted that the Board adopt both of these provisions
The adopted commitments and the rejected recommendation for the whiteenrollment target and the contingency merger all were set forth in a document entitled Fourth Segment of a Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia The Fourth Segment document had been drafted and presented to the Board of Regents by the Boards Desegregation Plan Drafting Committee It was prepared to meet the most recent of a series of requirements directed to the Board of Regents by HEW in the eightyearold lawsuit Kenneth Adams et al plaintiffs v the Secretary of HEW et al defendants widely known as the Adams Case in the US District Court for the District of Columbia In this lawsuit

Computer Technology Program Authorized by Board
A new major in minicomputer technology under an existing Associate of Science degree program at Dalton Junior College was approved by the Board of Regents at the October 1213 meeting
This program approved to become effective beginning in the 1979 winter quarter will be offered under a cooperative agreement between the University System of Georgia and the Georgia Department of Education and will be taught by the VocationalTechnical Division of Dalton Junior College
A needs assessment conducted for the Southeast confirmed that excellent employment opportunities for graduates from a minicomputer technician training program exist according to an agenda item presented to the Regents
Also according to the agenda item
Estimates indicated that 15 students will enroll in the Program in its first year of operation
No program in minicomputer technology now exists in
any public or private institution in Georgia
An Appalachian Regional Commission grant and a corporate educational contribution by Digital Equipment Corporation will support all direct costs to operate this program for the first two years It is estimated that the third year of operation of the program will require a budget of 30000
Under the cooperative agreement the Georgia Department of Education will fund 50 percent of the cost of the program for the third year
The program will be a logical complement to the existing business computer programming and industrial electricity programs at Dalton Junior College
Minority students account for approximately 5 percent of the total student body at Dalton Junior College and there is anticipation that such students will account for approximately the same percentage of enrollment in the minicomputer techa1 nology program the Regents were told

Commitment to fill the position of president of the college now filled by an acting president within the first 12 months following the adoption of the Fourth Segment document
Review of key administrative positions which may require strengthening through further personnel training or personnel replacement
Commitment to seek 5 million in special capital outlay funds 1 million per year for five consecutive yearsfor general improvement in the campus environment in addition to regular capital outlay funds that would be provided
Rejected Recommendation of Fourth Segment
The Desegregation Plan Drafting Committees Fourth Segment document recommendation that was rejected by the Board of Regents stipulated that unless white students would account for 2530 percent of enrollment at Albany State College by the end of the 198182 academic year merger of Albany State College and Albany Junior College under the name Albany State College would begin
Under the rejected recommendation merger would have been accomplished in two phases In the first phase to have begun on July 1 1982 the two institutions would have been operated with their individual institutional identities but with one president who would have been black and two vice presidents who would have been white and the Special Studies remedial programs of the institutions would have been consolidated under one director In the second phase a
full merger would have been implemented with completion of new construction on the Albany Junior College campus of academic facilities similar to those presently on the Albany State College campus The cost of consolidation of academic facilities to accommodate the merged institutions on the single campus was estimated in the Fourth Segment document recommendation at 20800000 to 24300000 inclusive of 6800000 bonded indebtedness on the facilities on the Albany State College campus
The Fourth Segment document as originally presented and as adopted after deletion of the whiteenrollment target and the contingencymerger provisions projects the addition of several new degree programs and the initiation or development of several major capital outlay improvements on the Albany State College campus between the 197879 current fiscal year and the end of the 198182 fiscal year
Most of the views expressed by Regents were in opposition to approval of the whiteenrollment targetcontingency merger recommendation
Some of the observations and arguments on the recommendation were
It is not thought that a merger is favored by Albany State College constituents or Albany Junior College constituents or the Albany community
Albany State College and Albany Junior College being a fouryear institution and a twoyear unit respectively do not have conflicting programs This view held that there should be instead of a merger of the Albany colleges a merger of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College both senior colleges in Savannah
The target of having white students account for 2530 percent of the total enrollment at Albany State College by the end of the 198182 fiscal year as the alternative to merger would have been a quota instead of a projection or a goal In previous segments of the current University System desegregation plan the Board of Regents has established the position that enrollment projections and other similar anticipations developed by System institutions and the Boards office

DESEGREGATION PLANS
The Fourth Segment of a Plan for the Further Desegregation oj the University System of Georgia was adopted by the Board of Regents at the conclusion of a twoday series of meetings These meetings provided wide public exposure oj and response to the document
A news conference began at 10 am on October 18 and a public hearing began that day at 2 pm and continued all afternoon
The Board of Regents official meeting began at 9 am on October 19 and continued all morning
All the meetings were held in the General Assembly Appropriations Committees Room the former State Supreme Court Chamber at the State Capitol
These meetings were preceded by six months of study public hearings and committee deliberations required to produce the document that was presented for consideration at the meetings
The Fourth Segment document was presented in summary
PRESENT PAST FUTURE
form at the beginning of both the news conference and the public hearing Copies of the entire document had been distributed to members of the Board of Regents several days in advance The document set forth recommendations pertaining to special desegregation aspects of only five of the 32 institutions of the University System The institutions dealt with are predominantly black Albany State College a senior college and predominantly white Albany Junior College both at Albany Fort Valley State College a predominantly black senior college at Fort Valley and predominantly black Savannah State College and predominantly white Armstrong State College both senior colleges at Savannah
The Fourth Segment document as its title suggests is only a portion of the current Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia It like each of the preceding three segments was developed in response to and in accordance

with a directive of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW
Comprehensive InForce Plan
Board of Regents Chairman Milton Jones emphasized in introducing the limitedscope Fourth Segment document at the sessions on October 18 and 19 that the three preceding segments of the current Plan deal comprehensively with major aspects of desegregation throughout the University System
The first segment of the current Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgiaa voluminous comprehensive document setting forth desegregation situations and projections or goals for the University System and all System institutions was adopted by the Board of Regents in August 1977 and was transmitted to HEW a few days thereafter That segment has been in force throughout the University System ever since it was adopted
Each of the second third and fourth segments of the current Plan was developed by the Board in response to an HEW directive for clarification andor expansion of a previously developed segment The second and third segments were transmitted to HEW in December 1977 and March 1978 respectively
The Fourth Segment wav developed under the leadership of the Board of Regents Desegregation Plan Drafting Committee the same committee that had handled study public input and document drafting of the first second and third segments of the current Plan
Pairing of Colleges for Study
Six institutions a predominantly black college and a predominantly white college in each of three caseswere paired in the initial phase of the study for purposes of obtaining community and faculty input These were Albany State College with Albany Junior College Fort Valley State College with Macon Junior College and Savannah State College with Armstrong State College
In each of the three pairings there were both a Community Liaison Committee and a Joint Faculty Work Group The Community Liaison Committees each cochaired by two members of the Board of Regents Desegregation Plan Drafting Committee were made up of community leaders in all the communities involved and alumni studentgovernment representatives faculty members and alumni of all the institutions involved
The Joint Faculty Work Groups each cochaired by two staff members of the Board of Regents office were composed of faculty members of all the institutions involved
The Community Liaison Committees held several public meetings in Albany Fort Valley Macon and Savannah during a sevenweek period in June and July
Following the completion of the work of the Community Liaison Committees and the Joint Faculty Work Groups the Desegregation Plan Drafting Committee held several daylong sessions in August September and October The Drafting Committee was assisted in its work by Vice Chancellor John W Hooper and other Board of Regents staff members It also held several consultations with HEW representatives
The Fourth Segment document did not include recommendations on Macon Junior College which was paired with Fort
Valley State College in the study involving the Community Liaison Committee and the Joint Faculty Work Group The Fort Valley State CollegeMacon Junior College pairing unlike the two other pairings in the study did not involve the existence of a predominantly black college and a predominantly white college of the University System in the same community
The four segments of the current Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia do not represent the first Plan of this type The Board of Regents in June 1974 adopted a voluminous comprehensive Plan dealing with desegregation of the entire University System That Plan also entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia had been requested by and in July 1974 was accepted by HEW It was in force throughout the University System for more than three years before it was superseded by the current Plan
Prior to developing the Plan that was submitted to and approved by HEW in 1974 the Board of Regents submitted to HEW in response to that agencys directives a number of comprehensive interim Plans for the desegregation of the University System The interim Plans were not rejected by HEW but they were returned by that agency with requests for adjustments
Court Ruling on 1974 Plan
The request to the Board of Regents for initiation of the current Plan was made by HEW in July 1977 in compliance with an order of the US District Court of the District of Columbia The District Court ruled that the 1974 Boardadopted and HEWapproved Plan for the University System of Georgia and similar desegregation plans for higher education in five other states in the South were inadequate
The adoption of the Fourth Segment of the current Plan is not seen by the Board of Regents as the last desegregation document that will be required
While the Board adopted most of the Fourth Segment document as it was presented by the Desegregation Plan Drafting Committee it rejected one key section that had been included at the initiative of HEW representatives The rejected section would have set a target of having white students account for 2530 percent of the total enrollment of predominantly black Albany State College within four years and would have required merger of Albany State and predominantly white Albany Junior College in the event of failure to hit that target
Board Chairman Jones told the Board that he did not believe the Fourth Segment document without the whiteenrollment target and contingencymerger provisions would be accepted by HEW He said these rejected provisions were included in the document at the insistence of HEW
The Board voted that along with transmitting the adopted portions of the Fourth Segment document to HEW it would continue positive negotiations with HEW to develop additional mutually satisfactory details of the desegregation plan as it relates to Albany State College and Albany Junior College
Board Chairman Jones who was chairman of the Desegregation Plan Drafting Committee from July 1977 until he became Board chairman in July 1978 said he felt that that committee had fulfilled its purposes and that a new drafting committee should be constituted to continue discussions with HEW He appointed five Board members to membership on the new committee including two members who had served on the superseded committee m

are to be construed as projections or goals and not as quotas and HEW has concurred in this position
The construction of necessary additional academic facilities on the Albany Junior College campus to accommodate the move of Albany State College to that campus would not be a justifiable expense
There was expressed doubt that the new degree programs and the capital outlay improvements projected for Albany State College for the period of the 197879 fiscal year through the 198182 fiscal year will be in place soon enough to aid student recruitment sufficiently for hitting the whiteenrollment target of 2530 percent of total enrollment by the end of this period White students account for 41 percent of total enrollment of 1751 students at Albany State College in the 1978 fall quarter
Possible U S Court Hearing in Macon
Board Chairman Jones told the Board that it is possible that the submission of the Fourth Segment document to HEW will result in a hearing in the US District Court for the Middle District of Georgia at Macon
At the Board meeting on October 19 he said
On August 11 1975 Judge Wilbur D Owens Jr of the US District Court for the Middle District of Georgia Macon Division entered a final judgment approving a Plan for the Further Desegregation of Fort Valley State College
The Court expressly retained jurisdiction to supervise the implementation of the Plan and to make any subsequent modifications which might become necessary in the light of the results of such Plan and it was required that semiannual progress reports be filed
In view of these provisions of this final judgment we will promptly furnish to Judge Owens and to counsel for the plaintiff in that case copies of whatever submission is approved today so that it may be studied by them
It is possible that there will be a hearing before Judge Owens concerning the question of whether there is any inconsistency between this submission and the 1975 Order entered by him
I wanted the members of the Board of Regents to be aware of what is contemplated in this regard The proposed submission to HEW appears to be in complete accord with the objectives contemplated by Judge Owenss Order
SOME OF THE DETAILS OF THE ADOPTED PROVISIONS
Some of the details of the adopted Fourth Segment provisions pertaining to the five colleges are
ALBANY STATE COLLEGE And
ALBANY JUNIOR COLLEGE
Joint Albany State CollegeAlbany Junior College Extension and Public Service Program
The Fourth Segment document indicates
A Joint Albany State CollegeAlbany Junior College Extension and Public Service Program will be developed to become
effective July 1 1979 This program will operate with a unified budget and a single jointstaffed director who shall be responsible to the two presidents
A study directed toward a determination of the most feasible permanent location for this program will be concluded prior to July 1 1979
As general explanation it should be noted that extension and public service as known today in the University System of Georgia covers a wide range of concerns and educational needs of individuals including but not limited to such fields as urban and rural problems family life and nutrition training of governmental officials allied health professional inservice training economic development the utilization and conservation of natural resources and environmental control All activities are conducted within the context of the Continuing Education Unit CEU as nationally and regionally defined The CEU which is awarded on the basis of one CEU per ten participanthours in an extension public service program is not applicable toward the earning of an academic degree at any University System institution
The teaching in this program will be handled on a desegregated basis by faculty members of Albany State College and Albany Junior College and representatives from specialist fields within the Albany area
This unified approach to the delivery of the Albany area extension and public service program should act to enhance the overall reception of Albany State College by all elements of the community An increased awareness of the combined strengths of the two colleges is expected to result in their increased attractiveness to regular college students beyond that group directly served by the extension and public service program
Coordination of Selected Degree Programs
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Additional program strength will be provided through the coordination of selected associate degree programs offered by Albany Junior College and related bachelors level programs offered by Albany State College Those programs to be so coordinated are in the areas of health sciences criminal justice secretarial science data processing and nursing
This coordination will be accomplished through the establishment of a Joint Curriculum Coordination Committee composed of equal numbers of Albany State College and Albany Junior College faculty members The committee will be cochaired by the chief academic officers of the two colleges The committee will be charged with the development of mechanisms to provide mobility between associate and baccalaureate programs and with the identification and recruitment of students who might reasonably benefit from such mobility
Productivity and Management Review of Current Academic Programs
The Fourth Segment document indicates
A detailed productivity and management review of each Albany State College and Albany Junior College current academic program will be conducted by the colleges and the Board of Regents office staff prior to July 1 1979
Resource allocations designed to strengthen promising programs will be based on the findings of this review
Studies of this type with principal focus upon cost effectiveness considerations have been previously conducted at each University System senior college Quantitative comparisons resulting from the studies provide a management tool which when tempered by qualitative program factors can result in improved internal management of resources This form of fiscal review is particularly important in an institution such as Albany State College which has substantial funds provided from federal sources since management practices must be consistent with longterm fiscal stability Academic program costs at Albany State College as a group are currently funded at higher levels than the average of those of other senior colleges within the University System
Faculty members displaced through program modification and phaseout are accommodated through retirements ordinary attrition resulting from job mobility reassignments where professional

ALBANY STATE COLLEGE
Elimination of Disparities in Admission Progression and Graduation Standards
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Existing disparities in admission progression and graduation standards at Albany State College with relation to other University System senior colleges and with Albany Junior College will be eliminated through the academic and administrative strengthening of the college
Minimum academic entrance and progression standards will be reconciled with those of sister institutions
The academic needs of students affected by the enhancement of any standard will be addressed through the provision of remedial experiences Albany State College will designate resources to remedial programs on a perstudent basis in an amount equivalent to those provided by the upper quartile of University System institutions This will require an increase in direct classroom support from approximately 459 per equivalent fulltime student to 1200 per equivalent fulltime student at Albany State College Based on 197879 projected enrollments this would require reallocated or additional resources of approximately 112000 for the year
The document sets forth placement and exit criteria for the remedial Special Studies programs at Albany State College See Special Studies article in this issue
Special Requirements and Procedures for Academic Enhancement of Present Programs in Teacher Education and Nursing
The Fourth Segment document section pertaining to teacher education indicates
The necessity for academic enhancement of the Albany State College undergraduate program in teacher education poses particular difficulties Effective in 1979 the State Department of Education will require specific scores on a Departmentadministered Criterion Referenced Test CRT prior to the award of certification Scores realized through experimental administrations of the CRT suggest a strong correlation with the National Teacher Examination NTE Common Area test scores The Albany State College NTE Common score average was 146 points below the University System average in 197576
An approach will be developed and implemented designed to bring the Albany State College NTE Common score to near the University System average prior to the expiration of this plan at the end of the 198283 fiscal year In the event that success sufficient to permit State Department of Education certification of a substantial portion of Albany State College graduates is not realized the Board of Regents will take all steps necessary to achieve the required objectives
Specific measures of the following types will be considered by the dean of the faculty and the faculty in their efforts to ensure increased selectivity in the Albany State College teacher education program
Increase to 25 the college cumulative grade point average required for admission to teacher education and for graduation
Require completion of the Regents Test requirement prior to admission to teacher education
Conduct a review of academic policies governing class attendance student advisement standards for academic progress class overloads and graduation requirements
Work with the Education Testing Service ETS toward the provision of one or more preNTE tests for diagnostic use by the students
Provide noncredit compulsory workshops for students who perform unacceptably on preNTE tests
Funds available to the Albany State College teacher education program will not be reduced over the duration of this plan through the 198283 fiscal year because of enrollment fluctua
tions which may arise as a consequence of these increased academic requirements
The Fourth Segment document section pertaining to nursing indicates
The Albany State College nursing program also poses a particular enhancement problem in that only 38 percent of the program graduates successfully completed the State Nursing Board Examination during 1977
The State Board of Nurse Examiners recently established the policy that effective in 1980 at least 75 percent of the examinees from specific nurse education programs must be successful on the State Boards if further graduates of the program are to be permitted to present themselves for examination It is problematical whether or not Albany State College can satisfy this criterion in the time available However an intensive effort has been initiated in an attempt to meet the State Board deadline This current effort is incorporated as a part of this plan Specifically the dean of the faculty and the faculty are considering the following measures
Require completion of all remedial requirements prior to applying for admission to nursing
Require a 25 cumulative grade point average for retention and graduation
Increase Core Curriculum requirements for nursing majors
Establish minimum scores for the National League of Nursing Achievement Exams for retention
Conduct a review of policies governing such academic matters as class attendance student advisement academic progress standards class overloads and graduation requirements
Projection of Two New Masters Degree Programs and Three New Bachelors Degree Programs
The Fourth Segment document indicates
The Board of Regents concludes that current institutional strengths of Albany State College will be best enhanced through the implementation of the following programs on the indicated time schedule
The degree programs and the implementation times designated are
Master of Business Administrationbusiness administration September 1980
Master of Educationteacher education September 1980
Bachelor of Artspolitical science September 1979
Bachelor of Sciencecomputer science September 1980
Bachelor of Artssocial welfare September 1981
These new programs will be financed by Board of Regents allocations student fees and funds released through institutional internalreassignment of funds Total budget funds required are 2096000 per year based on a minimum average enrollment of 100 students per program
Albany State Colleges undergraduate academic program structure is the same as that of the other senior colleges With the addition under this plan of masters level work in business administration and teacher education Albany State College will be in a position to offer a total spectrum of nonduplicated senior college programs of study No associate degree programs are offered by Albany State College hence there is no direct competition provided by the sister institution Albany Junior College
Cooperative masters degree programs in two of the areas for which the new degree programs are projected business administration and teacher educationcurrently involve Albany State College and in the 197778 fiscal year were funded at a total of 250000 The cooperative masters degree program in business administration in 197778 was funded at 25000 15000 from Albany State College and 10000 from Valdosta State College The cooperative masters degree program in teacher education in 197778 was funded at 225000217000 from Albany State College and 8000 from Georgia State University

Review of Key Administrative Positions
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Those key administrative positions which may require strengthening through further personnel training or personnel replacement will be addressed during the initial 24 months of this period following the adoption of the Fourth Segment document
The activity areas to be so reviewed include but are not limited to the business office the registrars office the office of student affairs and the office of the dean of the faculty
Each area review will be conducted by the president of Albany State College in cooperation with the appropriate staff member of the Board of Regents The staff of the Board of Regents will design and coordinate the implementation of the appropriate training programs to meet any personnel training needs identified through the review process
Special Capital Outlay Funds for General Improvement in Campus Environment of Albany State College
The Fourth Segment document indicates
The Board of Regents will request and seek to obtain a special capital outlaycash state appropriation in the amount of 1 million for each of five consecutive years such funds to be used for the general improvement in the campus environment of Albany State College
Improvements to be realized through the application of these special capital outlaycash appropriation funds would be in addition to regular facilities improvements in the forms of new construction and renovations as provided through regular capital outlay funds which may become available to offset total University System needs
The new funds consisting of 1 million per year for five years will be utilized primarily to acquire adjoining land to permit expansion of this landlocked institution and to provide improved building sites Portions of this yearly fund will be used to improve streets parking lots and sidewalks and to add to the landscaping program currently under way
FORT VALLEY STATE COLLEGE
Establishment of a Community Life Improvement Center
The Fourth Segment document indicates
A Community Life Improvement Center for expansion and upgrading of agricultural resident instruction research and extension will be developed
The Center for which a major new building is projected is expected to provide facilities for conferences seminars workshops and other similar activities Its programs also will provide such as onsite teaching tours and a strong delivery system at the grassroots level neighborhood community county or area which will provide for a onetoone andor small specialinterest group contact to be utilized
The success of the Community Life Improvement Center concept would do much to establish the acceptability of Fort Valley State College in the middle Georgia area The effective delivery of educational and research services by the Center could serve to validate Fort Valley State College as a fully functioning unit of the University System
The Center will deal primarily with socioeconomic and technological problems of limited resourcessmall farmer agriculture and with raising the level of living and quality of life of these clientele with some resources allocated to urban agriculture
The development and operation of the Center will involve close cooperation between the agricultural resident instruction research and extension programs of Fort Valley State College and the corresponding programs of the University of Georgia
The implementation of such a Center was proposed in a July 1978 report of the resident instruction research and extension
subcommittees of the Fort Valley State CollegeUniversity of Georgia Joint Agricultural Committee The subcommittees were appointed prior to the development of the Fourth Segment to develop a range of option definitions for the further desegregation of all agricultural programs at Fort Valley State
Operating budgets totaling 1962269 from all sources will be provided for operation of the Center during the 197879 fiscal year An operating budget increase of approximately 450000 is projected for each of the 197980 and 198081 fiscal years The operating budget is expected to be stabilized at approximately 2862269 in each of the 198182 and 198283 fiscal years
The construction of a Community Life Improvement Center building at a cost of 2500000 is projected in capital outlay needs for the 197980 fiscal year
Elimination of Disparities in Minimal Admission Progression and Graduation Standards
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Any existing disparities in minimal admission progression and graduation standards at Fort Valley State College with relation to other University System senior colleges will be eliminated through the academic and administrative strengthening of the college Minimum academic entrance and progression standards will be reconciled with those of sister institutions
The academic needs of students affected by the enhancement of any standard will be addressed through the provision of remedial experiences Fort Valley State College will continue to designate resources to remedial programs on a perstudent basis in an amount equivalent to those provided by the upper quartile of University System institutions This direct classroom support level is currently approximately 1356 per equivalent fulltime student compared with an upper quartile average of approximately 1200 per equivalent fulltime student
Placement and exit criteria for the remedial Special Studies programs of Fort Valley State College are set forth See Special Studies article in this issue
Special Requirements for Academic Enhancement of Present Programs in Teacher Education

the provision of one or more preNTE tests for diagnostic use by the students
Provide noncredit compulsory workshops for students who perform unacceptably on the preNTE tests
Funds available to the Fort Valley State College teacher education program will not be reduced over the duration of this plan through the 198283 fiscal year because of enrollment fluctuations which may arise as a consequence of these increased academic requirements
Productivity and Management Review of Current Academic Programs
The Fourth Segment document indicates
A detailed productivity and management review of each Fort Valley State College current academic program will be conducted by the college and the Board of Regents office staff prior to July 1 1979 Resource allocations designed to strengthen promising programs will be based on the findings of this review
Studies of this type with principal focus upon cost effectiveness considerations have been previously conducted at each University System senior college Quantitative comparisons resulting from the studies provide a management tool which when tempered by qualitative program factors can result in improved internal management of resources This form of fiscal review is particularly important in an institution such as Fort Valley State College which has substantial funds provided from federal sources since management practices must be consistent with longterm fiscal stability
Academic program costs at Fort Valley State College as a group are currently funded at higher levels than those of other senior colleges within the University System This preferential differential level of funding relative to the predominantly white senior colleges will be maintained for Fort Valley State College for the period encompassed by this plan through the 198283 fiscal year A successive reduction in the differential will be sought through application of the program reviews and improved management practices
Faculty members displaced through program modification and phaseout are accommodated through retirements ordinary attrition resulting from job mobility reassignments where professional qualifications permit and terminations in limited instances
Projection of Five New Bachelors Degree Programs and Two New Associate Degree Programs
The Fourth Segment document indicates
The Board of Regents concludes that current institutional strengths of Fort Valley State College will be best enhanced through the implementation of five new bachelors degree programs and two new associate degree programs on the indicated time schedule
The degrees and the time schedule for implementation are
Bachelor of Scienceornamental horticulture September 1979
Bachelor of Scienceagrieconomics and farm management and Associate of Scienceagrieconomics and farm management September 1979
Bachelor of Scienceagricultural mechanization technology and Associate of Scienceagricultural mechanization technology September 1980
Bachelor of Sciencecomputer science September 1980
Bachelor of Sciencehistorical administration September 1981
These new programs will be financed primarily with released funds in accordance with the commitment to maintain preferential differential funding for Fort Valley State College during the life of this plan through the 198283 fiscal year Released funds and increased revenues totaling approximately SI million per year will be required to fund all these new programs based on a minimum average enrollment of 100 students per program It is estimated that 250 of the 500 new students will be white
This proportion approximates the racial composition of the Fort Valley area
Development and Implementation of Refined Procedures and Standards for Faculty Evaluation and Advancement
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Refined procedures and standards for faculty evaluation and advancement will be developed and implemented by Fort Valley State College in cooperation with the University System vice chancellor for academic development prior to March t 1979
Review of Key Administrative Positions
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Those key administrative positions which may require strengthening through further personnel training or personnel replacement will be addressed during the initial 24 months of this period following the adoption of the Fourth Segment
The activity areas to be so reviewed include but are not limited to the business office the registrars office the office of student affairs the graduate office and the office of the dean of the faculty
Each area review will be conducted by the president of Fort Valley State College in cooperation with the appropriate staff member of the Board of Regents The staff of the Board of Regents will design and coordinate the implementation of the appropriate training programs to meet any personnel training needs identified through the review process
Establishment of the Position of Director of Business Operations and Finance
The Fourth Segment document indicates
The administrative position director of business operations and finance will be established effective November 1 1978 The holder of this position will report to the president and will be responsible for all fiscal facilities management aspects of Fort Valley State College
Commitment to Seek Special Capital Outlay Funds for General Improvement in Campus Environment
The Fourth Segment document indicates
The Board of Regents will request and seek to obtain a special capital outlaycash state appropriation in the amount of 1 million for each of five consecutive years such funds to be used for the general improvement in the campus environment of Fort Valley State College Particular emphasis will be placed on the improvement of roads curbs and gutters parking areas landscaping and acquisition and development of selected contiguous properties
Improvements to be realized through the application of these special capital outlaycash appropriation funds would be in addition to regular facilities improvements in the forms of new construction and renovations as provided through regular capital outlay funds which may become available to offset total University System needs
The new funds in the amount of 1 million per year for five years will be used primarily to acquire additional property along Pear Street and along State College Drive to improve the appearance and condition of the campus Plans have been prepared for the elimination of old roads in the internal part of the campus converting these roads into malls and isolating automobile traffic around the perimeter of the campus These specific funds will also provide for the further improvement of roads parking lots and sidewalks
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE And
ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE
Elimination of Duplication in Business Administration Major Programs and Teacher Education Major Programs
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Existing program duplication between Savannah State College and Armstrong State College will be addressed on a basis
12
The System Summary
which fosters the preservation of institutional identity while at the same time promising substantial change in institutional racial characteristics
These programs identified as components of a differentiated program structure have been selected as a consequence of their a current and projected sizes b relative current academic strengths c changing patterns of attractiveness to students and d enhancement objectives for Savannah State College mandated under the US Department of Health Education and Welfare Guidelines
The following specific program differentiation actions will be taken
All Savannah area undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration will be offered by Savannah State College effective September 1 1979 with all business administration majors enrolled at Savannah State College
All Savannah area undergraduate and graduate programs in teacher education will be offered by Armstrong State College effective September 1 1979 with all teacher education majors enrolled at Armstrong State College
This move to knock out some of the current offerings at each of these institutions has been referred to as a snaggletooth plan both Savannah State College and Armstrong State College currently offer undergraduate and graduate programs in both business administration and teacher education
The implementation of this plan will require the reassignment of 1015 faculty members for each program and will result in minimal change in the net faculty at each institution
It is estimated on the basis of 1978 fall quarter enrollment data that approximately 250350 Savannah State College students and 250325 Armstrong State College students will be directly affected by implementation of the program differentiation actions
Total funds provided in support of the combined business administration and teacher education programs at Savannah State College and Armstrong State College respectively will not be reduced during the first two years of implementation because of enrollment fluctuations which may arise as a consequence of these actions This means that combined program operating budget at least as great as the sum of the individual program budgets will be available during the initial transition period
The implementation steps of the differentiated program actions will be accomplished through appropriate committee actions by the joint departmental faculties affected
It is probable that some personnel adjustments will be required as a result of these program differentiation steps Due process review will be afforded at all steps in such necessary realignment
Faculty tenure and employment rights will be observed in accord with the general principles recommended in the June 12 1978 report of the Regents Ad Hoc Tenure Committee as presented below
Supplementary Tenure Policy Relevant to the Coordinated Reorganization of University System Units
Application of policy supplementary to the University System Tenure Policy itself is necessary during the period of a coordinated reorganization of two or more units of the University System However two principles of the existing tenure policy should be preserved during any such reorganization Firstly tenure should be a meaningful concept the award of tenure should be a significant decision on the part of a unit of the University System and the possession of tenure by an individual should have real import Secondly the autonomies of individual units of the University System should be preserved each unit should have the autonomy necessary to tailor its faculties to its particular educational responsibilities
In the formulation of supplementary policy tenure or the credit earned toward tenure of those faculty members employed at the time of the reorganization shall be respected and the autonomies of those units directly involved in the reorganization should be relaxed temporarily to a minimal extent In the merger of units the separate autonomies of the merged parts terminate Any effort to retain vestiges of the separate autonomies of the merged parts must be rejected as in contradiction to the spirit
of the merger and in discord with the organization of other units of the System During a coordinated reorganization of two or more units of the University System in which the autonomies of the individual units are finally to be retained it will be necessary to relax temporarily the separate autonomies of the units directly involved while appropriate adjustments are made in the faculties affected by the reorganization
The construction of a new business administration building on the Savannah State College campus at a cost of 2500000 is projected in capital outlay needs for the 197980 fiscal year
Joint Savannah State CollegeArmstrong State College Savannah Area Extension and Public Service Program
The Fourth Segment document indicates
A joint Savannah State CollegeArmstrong State College Savannah Area Extension and Public Service Program will be developed effective July 1 1979
A study directed toward the determination of the most feasible offcampus location for this program will be concluded prior to July 1 1979
The program will operate with a unified budget and a jointstaffed director who will be responsible to the president of Savannah State College and the president of Armstrong State College Its teaching will be done all on a desegregated basis by faculty members of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College and representatives from specialty areas within the Savannah area
This unified approach to the delivery of the Savannah area extension and public service program should act to enhance the overall reception of Savannah State College by all elements of the community An increased awareness of the combined strengths of the two colleges is expected to result in their increased attractiveness to regular college students beyond that group directly served by the extension and public service program
As general explanation it should be noted that extension and public service as known today in the University System of Georgia covers a wide range of concerns and educational needs of individuals including but not limited to such fields as urban and rural problems family life and nutrition training of governmental officials allied health professional inservice training economic development the utilization and conservation of natural resources and environmental control All activities are conducted within the context of the Continuing Education Unit CEU as nationally and regionally defined The CEU which is awarded on the basis of one CEU per ten participanthours in an extension public service program is not applicable toward the earning of an academic degree at any University System institution
The joint program will be conducted in a facility to be located in downtown Savannah hopefully near the Civic Center Complex and hotels Such a facility would include administrative offices classrooms seminar rooms teaching auditoriums meeting rooms and limited food service It would not include housing
The construction of a facility for the joint program at a cost of 2500000 is projected in capital outlay needs listed for the 198182 fiscal year
The operating budgets of the Savannah State College and Armstrong State College extension and public service programs are projected to be 218000 for 275 programs with 11900 participants registered for approximately 251500 participanthours in the 197879 fiscal year The operating budgets for the joint program are projected to increase to 318000 for 403 programs with 17376 participants registered for approximately 368220 participanthours in the 198283 fiscal year
Part of the operating funds for extension and public service programs in the University System are derived from state appropriations however a large percentage of the operating costs are paid from participants fees
Productivity and Management Review of Current Academic Programs

Five Units Continued from Page 13
Savannah State College and Armstrong State College current academic program will be conducted by the staffs of the colleges and of the Board of Regents office prior to July 1 1979
Results of the review will serve as a guide toward the more effective utilization of resources in program development
Studies of this type with principal focus upon cost effectiveness considerations have been previously conducted at each University System senior college Quantitative comparisons resulting from the studies provide a management tool which when tempered by qualitative program factors can result in improved internal management of resources This form of fiscal review is particularly important in an institution such as Savannah State College which has substantial funds provided from federal sources since management practices must be consistent with longterm fiscal stability
Faculty members displaced through program modification and phaseout are accommodated through retirements ordinary attrition resulting from job mobility reassignments where professional qualifications permit and terminations in limited instances
Elimination of Disparities in Admission Progression and Graduation Standards
The Fourth Segment document indicates
Existing disparities in admission progression and graduation standards of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College will be eliminated through the academic and administrative strengthening of the two colleges Academic entrance and progression standards in the regular college program will be reconciled so as to maintain in each instance the higher of the existing standards
The academic needs of students affected by the enhancement of any standard will be addressed through the provision of remedial experiences Savannah State College and Armstrong State College will designate resources to remedial programs on a perstudent basis in an amount equivalent to those provided by the upper quartile of University System institutions This will require an increase in direct classroom support from approximately 850 per equivalent fulltime student to 1200 per equivalent fulltime student at Savannah State College and from 1086 per equivalent fulltime student to 1200 per equivalent fulltime student at Armstrong State College Based on 197879 projected enrollment this would require reallocated or additional resources of approximately 116000 and 15000 for a year for the two schools respectively
Placement and exit criteria for the remedial Special Studies programs of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College are set forth See Special Studies article in this issue

The System Summary
Special Studies Criteria Revised for Four Colleges
The Fourth Segment of a Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia sets forth placement and exit requirements for the Special Studies remedial programs at four senior colleges predominantly black Savannah State College and predominantly white Armstrong State College at Savannah predominantly black Albany State College at Albany and predominantly black Fort Valley State College at Fort Valley
All the placement procedures are uniform for all four of these institutions
Most of the exit requirements are uniform for all four of these institutions however exitexamination test scores required for Albany State College and Fort Valley State College are different and varied from those required uniformly for Savannah State College and Armstrong State College
The Fourth Segment was adopted by the Board of Regents at a special meeting in Atlanta on October 19 It was developed at the direction of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare to deal with special aspects of desegregation at the University Systems three predominantly black senior colleges and other institutions geographically proximate to or with special functional program areas related to these three predominantly black colleges
The Special Studies placement procedures and exit requirements for Savannah State College Armstrong State College Albany State College and Fort Valley State College are
A high school diploma or GED equivalence will be required for placement
Students with at least 330 verbal and 330 math and at least 750 combined Scholastic Aptitude Test SAT scores will be exempted from Special Studies
Students with less than 330 verbal or 330 math or less than a 750 combined SAT will be administered the Basic Skills Examination in areas of identified deficiency
Placement in Special Studies will be made in the areas of deficiency as determined by Basic Skills Examination testing mathematics reading English composition
Students will be permitted to exit Special Studies when they have met the following requirements
Participated in Special Studies course work
Passed specific course objectives as identified and defined by the instructors and program director
At Savannah State College and Armstrong State College Passed exit Basic Skills Examination test at 63 scale score in reading 63 in mathematics and 63 in English and a satisfactory score on a writing sample

and 65 in English and a satisfactory score on a writing sample
At Fort Valley State College Passed exit Basic Skills Examination test at 65 scale score in reading 78 in mathematics and 65 in English and a satisfactory score on a writing sample
The approximate percentages of entering students expected to be required to undergo Basic Skills Examination testing under the Fourth Segment provisions with comparisons with requirements in the 197778 academic year are Savannah State College 95 percent compared with 92 percent Armstrong State College 55 percent compared with 38 percent Albany State College 96 percent compared with 81 percent and Fort Valley State College 93 percent compared with 87 percent
The approximate numbers of additional students expected to be placed in Special Studies under the Fourth Segment provisions compared with the numbers in the 197778 academic year are
Savannah State College 15 Armstrong State College 30 Albany State College 55 and Fort Valley State College 16
The criteria for Special Studies placement and exit are consistent with the recommendations of the University System Special Studies Committee and have been reviewed by other appropriate University System academic and administrative committees the Fourth Segment indicated
The present University System regulations on Special Studies require a minimum combined SAT score verbal and math of 660 for a student to be exempted from Basic Skills Examination testing for possible placement in Special Studies remedial courses That is at all institutions a student with a combined SAT score less than 660 must undergo Basic Skills Examination testing There is no University System regulation for any institution to require either a minimum verbal score or a minimum math score for a student to be exempted from Basic Skills Examination testing However any institution is authorized to establish a minimum combined SAT score higher than 660 that an applicant must have in order to be exempted from Basic Skills Examination testing and possible placement in Special Studies remedial courses Also some institutions have established a minimum verbal score andor a minimum math score that an applicant must have in order to be exempted from Basic Skills Examination testing
The University System Special Studies Committee has adopted and transmitted to the Chancellor a recommendation that Special Studies placement procedures corresponding to those adopted in the Fourth Segment document for Savannah State College Armstrong State College Albany State College and Fort Valley State College be applied on a University Systemwide basis

Separation of Teacher Preparation Certification Stated
A statement on separation of responsibility for teacher preparation and responsibility for teacher certification was approved by the Board of Regents at the November 78 meeting
This statement provides for the Board of Regents to handle teacher preparation and for the State Board of Education to handle teacher certification It provides for continuing interface between Board of RegentsUniversity System personnel and State Board of EducationState Department of Education personnel on matters pertaining to both teacher preparation and teacher certification
The statement was developed by the Special Liaison Committee consisting of members of both the Board of Regents and the State Board of Education following a series of Committee meetings on teacher preparation and certification It was approved by the State Board of Education on October 12
The text of the statement is
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and the Georgia State Board of Education believe that teacher preparation and teacher licensing are and should continue to be distinct and separate responsibilities The State Board of Education has the responsibility for licensing teachers in Georgia and the State Board of Regents has the responsibility for preparing teachers in the University System of Georgia
Recognizing the distinct and separate purposes and responsibilities of the two Boards it is nevertheless necessary that they work together to reduce duplication of function and enhance the effectiveness of teacher preparation and certification in Georgia
Specifically the State Board of Education and the State Board of Regents endorse the following mechanisms to accomplish the goal of improving teacher education and teacher performance in Georgia while at the same time maintaining the principle of separation of preparation from certification
Establishment of a forum for discussion debate and input by University System teacher education personnel into all certification I licensing issues State Department of Education personnel to be responsible for conducting this forum
2 Establishment of a forum for discussion debate and input by State Department of Education and public school personnel into college preparation programs University System personnel to be responsible for conducting this forum
3 Directing State Department of Education staff and Board of Regents staff to study the processes involved with accreditation and approval of teacher education programs in Georgia to determine if such processes can be made more effective efficient and economical Study should also be made as to whether or not NCATE National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education accreditation should be accepted in lieu of State Board of Education approval since State Department of Education personnel participate in the NCATE visit
4 Directing that the future thrust of the approved program concept should be on the quality of the college product with less emphasis on curriculum methods procedures and details involved in college preparation
5 Making a commitment to continue external evaluation of knowledge and performance of applicants for teacher certification to ensure improved teaching in Georgias public schools An external standardized examination of teaching field knowl
edge coupled with the granting of professional certification only after a period of successful performance as a teacher in Georgia are two practices that should be implemented It is recommended that the Board of Regents consider establishing a minimum score on the NTE National Teacher Examination as a graduation requirement for teacher education majors
The State Board of Education has initiated a teacher certification plan that bases certification of new teachers by the State Department of Education on a successful score on a Criterion Referenced Test and teaching competence as determined by onthejob assessment For many years certification of new teachers by the Department of Education was granted automatically to graduates of a college or university teacher education program that had been previously approved by the Department

The System Summary
NEW ACADEMIC PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON HEALTH CARE
Four new degree and major programs in health care areas at University System institutions were authorized by the Board of Regents at the November 78 meeting
Also the change in the designation of a major program under an existing degree programalso in a health care area was approved
New Degrees and Majors
The Medical College of Georgia received approval to offer a major in physical therapy under the institutions existing Master of Health Education degree program effective beginning in the 1979 winter quarter
This program will provide education and training at the graduate level to prepare academic and clinical faculty members for associate and baccalaureate degree programs in physical therapy It will be structured to meet the specific needs of the students to develop further their skills as educators and practitioners according to the recommendation for approval of the new program
The recommendation also indicated
The program involves an interdisciplinary core approach utilizing current graduate courses and a minimum of new courses
Instruction in the program will be provided by Medical College of Georgia and Augusta College faculty members
The program will require a minimum of 60 quarter hours to be completed within a maximum of five years
It is anticipated that 510 students will be enrolled in the program each year
There is no similartype program in the University System however there is a masters degree program in physical therapy at Emory University a private institution in Atlanta
Vigorous efforts on the part of the Medical College will be undertaken to recruit minority students for the program It is anticipated that traineeship funds will be available from external sources to fund the program and thus assist in the recruitment and retention of minority students It is expected that the physical therapy program enrollment will be representative of the enrollment in the School of Allied Health Sciences with approximately 7 percent minority students
Georgia Institute of Technology was authorized to offer the designated degree program of Bachelor of Science in Health Systems effective beginning in the 1979 winter quarter
The Georgia Institute of Technology since the 1960s has had a health systems program which grew to surpass several of the existing schools in enrollment faculty number and outside funding a report to the Regents indicated The Board of Regents in 1975 authorized the Master of Science in Health Systems degree for the institution and in 1977 approved the establishment of the School of Health Systems there
Also according to the report
For several years an undergraduate degree program in health systems leading to the undesignated Bachelor of Science degree has been offered by the Georgia Institute of Technology
Currently approximately 160 students and 30 students
are enrolled in the undergraduate program and the graduate program respectively
Columbus College was authorized to implement a major in health science under the institutions Associate in Science degree program effective beginning in the 1979 spring quarter
An agenda item considered by the Regents indicated
This program would provide an individualized track for students pursuing a preprofessional curriculum
Programs in a number of the allied health care fields such as physical therapy occupational therapy and physicians assistant programs require two years of preprofessional education prior to admission into these fields and include health carerelated courses The special tracks of study offered by the Health Science Division at Columbus College would facilitate transfer to colleges and universities offering the professional curriculum
Estimates indicate that enrollment in the program would be 20 students in the first year and 30 students in the second year and in succeeding years
Officials of Columbus College anticipate that a positive impact upon minoritystudent enrollment would result from the implementation of this program It is expected that minority students will account for approximately 18 percent of enrollment in the program Currently minorities make up approximately 18 percent of the student body at Columbus College
Brunswick Junior College was given approval to offer the Associate of Science degree program in radiologic technology effective beginning in the 1979 winter quarter
This program will replace a twoyear certificate program in radiologic technology offered through the VocationalTechnical Division of the institution In the conversion from the certificate to the degree the program will be strengthened by the addition of general education courses in the fields of English physics biology history political science and electives the Regents were informed in agenda material Eight quarters will be required to complete the program the agenda material indicated
The Regents were also informed
There is no other associate degree or baccalaureate degree program in this field in the southeastern section of the state
It is anticipated that minority students will account for approximately 15 percent of enrollment in the new degree program Minority students account for approximately 20 percent of the student body at Brunswick Junior College Efforts will be undertaken by the institution to ensure that minority students are continually well represented in all academic programs of the college
Change in Designation of Major
Columbus College received approval to change the designation of a major in health education under the Bachelor of Science degree program to a major in health science effective beginning in the 1979 spring quarter
The major in health education was authorized by the Board of Regents in 1974
The original intent of the program was to prepare students for various health education careers the Regents were told in November As the program became more widely known the curriculum format has been used by a large variety of

The Board of Regents stipulated in approving the revised procedures in the policy on the Regents Test that further study of the Test is to be conducted to look at various factors of giving the Test that might make it more agreeable and serviceable totally
Background on Regents Test
The Regents Test was developed under the name of Rising Junior Test by a committee of chairmen of English Departments within University System institutions and a committee of Board of RegentsUniversity System staff members with special knowledge of test construction It was administered in experimental form in the 1971 spring quarter to a limited number of rising juniors It was administered in improved form in the 1972 winter quarter to rising juniors throughout
the University System From the beginning the Test has been intended to reflect students competence in reading and writing In the beginning it was administered to students initially when they had completed 6075 quartercredit hours of study
The Board of Regents in April 1972 adopted a policy statement setting forth purposes and procedures of the Test That statement included provisions requiring all students enrolled in University System institutions to take the Test The statement did not establish a University Systemwide policy of requiring a student to pass the Test as a graduation prerequisite however it provided that an institution on its own initiative could require a student to pass the Test before becoming eligible for graduation
The Board in November 1972 revised the policy statement That revision established a University Systemwide requirement that a student must pass the Test before becoming eligible for graduation
The Regents Test consists of two parts 1 reading and 2 a written essay One hour is allowed for each part The Testtaker may choose his or her essay topic from two assigned topics
The Test is administered quarterly at individual institutions
Between the 197172 academic year and the 197778 academic year students success in passing the Regents Test ranged from 556 percent to 682 percent for firsttime examinees and from 346 percent to 476 percent for repeater examinees In the 197778 academic year 655 percent of 20285 firsttime examinees passed and 468 percent of 8020 repeater examinees passed
Substantial numbers of students have completed all course work for graduation with associate or bachelors degrees without having passed the Regents Test A special administration of the Test has been given quarterly for students in this category who have previously taken the Test and failed it On the average approximately 50 percent of students make passing grades on the special administration testing During a 12month period from the 1977 fall quarter through the 1978 summer quarter 1395 students participated in special administration testing
Prior to the approval by the Board of Regents at the November 78 meeting of a revision of policy regulations on the Regents Test the Boards office had moved to discontinue the special administration effective beginning in the 1979 spring quarter
FLOOR FOR ENTRYLEVEL ADMISSION
The text of the Board of Regents action establishing University Systemwide minimum academic qualifications or a sort of floor for admission is
Effective fall quarter 1980 a minimum academic achievement level will be established for admission to the institutions of the University System of Georgia Any student who has a high school grade point average based on academic coursework only of less than 180 and a verbal Scholastic Aptitude Test score of less than 250 and a quantitative mathematics Scholastic Aptitude Test score of less than 280 will be denied admission
Thus an applicant with either a high school grade point

Test Admission Continued from Page 11
average of 180 or more or a verbal Scholastic Aptitude Test score of 250 or more or a quantitative mathematics score of 280 or more would be eligible for admission at institutions with minimum academic requirements for admission no higher than those adopted by the Board of Regents at the November 78 meeting However under the regulations prior to adoption of the University Systemwide minimum academic requirements for admission individual institutions in the System could establish their own minimum requirements and this authority was not changed by the adoption of the University Systemwide minimum requirements With no University Systemwide minimum requirements in force in which case all System institutions had authority to pursue essentially an openadmissions policy seven institutions had established their own minimum requirements or floorsfor admission These floors were established under a basic policy of the Board of Regents which requires all System institutions to meet all University Systemwide minimum requirements for admission but which also gives the institutions authority to establish additional requirements including higher ones of their own
Summary of Impact
Under the newly adopted University Systemwide minimum requirements 266 entering students would have been denied admission to University System institutions on the basis of 197677 fiscal year normative data the Regents were told at the November 78 meeting That number would have been less than one percent of the 29486 entering students at the System institutions for the 197677 period which included the 1976 summer and fall quarters and the 1977 winter and spring quarters the Regents were also informed through a table listing data for the individual institutions Enrollment in Special Studies remedial programs was 9768 students in the 197677 fiscal year
The table indicated for each of the institutions the percentage of entering students that would have been denied admission on the basis of the 197677 normative data A summary of these percentages is
No students at 5 institutions
Less than 1 percent at 13 other institutions
1 percent2 percent at 6 institutions
2 percent3 percent at 3 institutions
33 percent at 1 institution
4 percent5 percent at 3 institutions
66 percent at 1 institution
Some Students Now Being Admitted Could Best Be Served in Some Other Educational Environment
Through a staffprepared agenda item accompanying the recommendation for approval of the University Systemwide minimum academic qualifications for admission the Regents were told
The University System of Georgia has formally operated a developmental remedial studies Special Studies program since 1974 This recommendation reflects some of what we have been able to learn about the academic nature of students
who have entered the colleges in the System during this fouryear period
While one of our objectives is to provide access to college to the widest possible range of students it is nonetheless true that some students now being admitted stand little or no chance of graduating from college or of even completing Special Studies and could best be served in some other educational environment
Based on discussions with faculty and administrators during the past year and on the recommendation of a special presidents committee charged with studying this question this recommendation has been derived
This recommendation follows the direction already taken by seven of the units of the System who have a floor currently in place It is also predicated upon the assumption that based on our experiences with the requirements recommended here admissions requirements will be eventually raised
The Committee that recommended approval of minimum academic qualifications for admission was composed of Charles R Nash University System director of Special Studies and since September 1978 assistant vice chancelloracademic development as chairman and presidents of six University System institutions The Presidents were George A Christenberry Augusta College Fred C Davison University of Georgia Hugh M Mills Jr Gainesville Junior College Clyde W Hall acting president Savannah State College Edwin A Thompson Atlanta Junior College and William W Wright Jr Macon Junior College
Background on Special Studies
The Special Studies program consists of nondegreecredit courses in English composition reading and mathematics for students who cannot meet academic requirements for full admission to the regular freshman collegecredit program This programfrequently referred to as a developmental or remedial curriculum was implemented on a University Systemwide basis in the 1974 fall quarter It was included as a major component of A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents in June 1974 It has been continued as a major component of the desegregation plan however it has always been intended for and operated for students of all races
The formally constituted University Systemwide Special Studies program was preceded by similar nondegreecredit remedial programs primarily in English composition reading and mathematics offered by individual institutions under a variety of designations formulations and conditions
In the Systemwide Special Studies program a student may be required to be enrolled in one two or three of the areas of English composition reading and mathematics with the specific requirement being determined by testing The student may be enrolled for a combination of Special Studies remedial courses and regular collegecredit courses
In the 1978 fall quarter 9760 students at University System institutions were enrolled partially or wholly in Special Studies In that quarter regular freshman enrollment which did not include those students enrolled in Special Studies was 32624 students and enrollment in all categories was 124767 students
The University Systemwide Special Studies regulations
12
The System Summarv
adopted by the Board of Regents in 1973 for implementation on a University Systemwide basis in the 1974 fall quarter require testing for possible placement in the Special Studies program of all applicants with a combined Scholastic Aptitude Test verbal and mathematics score of less than 660 Each institution has the prerogative of establishing a minimum combined Scholastic Aptitude Test score higher than 660 as the score below which all its applicants will be tested for possible placement in Special Studies Several institutions have established scores higher than 660 for this purpose
In the Fourth Segment of the Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents in October 1978 a higher level of Scholastic Aptitude Test scores for exemption from testing for possible placement in Special Studies was mandated for four senior colleges These institutions are predominantly black Albany State College at Albany Fort Valley State College at Fort Valley and Savannah State College at Savannah and predominantly white Armstrong State College at Savannah
The Fourth Segment document deals exclusively with the
University Systems three predominantly black senior colleges and other System colleges geographically proximate thereto It requires that at the four colleges designated only those applicants with a Scholastic Aptitude Test verbal score of at least 330 and a Scholastic Aptitude Test mathematics score of at least 330 and a combined Scholastic Aptitude Test verbal and mathematics score of at least 750 will be exempted from testing for possible placement in Special Studes
These new requirements are consistent with recommendations of the University System Special Studies Committee and have been reviewed by other appropriate University System academic and administrative committees the Fourth Segment document indicated
The University System Special Studies Committee has adopted and sent to the Chancellor a recommendation that Special Studies placement procedures corresponding to those mandated for Albany State College Fort Valley State College Savannah State College and Armstrong State College be applied on a Systemwide basis
Chancellor Comments on First Two Years of College Work
Some excerpts of a Memorandum from Chancellor George L Simpson Jr to Board of Regents members on October 25 1978 pertaining to various aspects of the first two years of college work in University System institutions are
We will continue during this year the discussion of the academic situation in the first two years that was begun during the last school year During this past year there has been discussion of many aspects of the first two years All campuses I believe have addressed themselves to this matter I have met with a large number of groups on various campuses These discussions have ranged widely over the subject Views are various
Nothing however has transpired to diminish the importance of a continued sharp focus throughout the University System on the first two years of college A review of all of the factors underlying this necessity is not required at this time These have been discussed at some length on alt campuses they appear in various reports of the institutions and in several memoranda from this office One point that has emerged ought to be mentioned here because of its general application
The first two years of college work is of special importance to the two major academic objectives of the University System
I To provide access to college to the widest possible range of students
2 To develop a level of excellence in all institutions as appropriate with respect to each institutions function
At best there is an inherent difficulty in accomplishing both objectives Resolution of this difficulty involves a number of factors But it is abundantly clear that the first two years of work is the general bridge between the two Considerations of the first two years include admissions levels to both Special Studies and regular work the quality and extent of Special Studies work the level of academic requirements in the freshman and sophomore years the determination of curriculum for the first two years measurement of the academic status of the students
at the end of the first two years
There are several new developments that affect directly the academic situation in the first two years
Regents Test
The first has to do with the Regents Test After a number of years of use of the Test during which the only real Systemwide constraint has been that the Test must be passed by each student before graduation it became apparent that consideration of additional constraints was in order Accordingly a committee composed of Presidents Noah Langdale Jr chairman Cleveland W Pettigrew Maurice K Townsend B R Tilley and Louis C Alderman Jr was appointed to consider the question This committee reported to a meeting of all presidents on October 3 1978 and again on October 6 1978 After changes a report was adopted
The Memorandum had attached thereto a copy of the report of the committee including the recommendation for revising the Board of Regents policy regulations pertaining to the Regents Test which were adopted by the Board at the November 78 meeting as reported in an article beginning on the Front Cover of this issue
EntryLevel Admission
Another development concerns the question of setting an entrance level for entry into Special Studies At present there is no Systemwide level
Discussions with faculty and others during the past year have disclosed some feeling that we are attempting to carry too heavy a burden of poorly prepared students and as well that we are admitting students from whom there is virtually no hope of success Given now the solid experience of recent years in Special Studies and the performance of these students in regular work it was decided to review this situation A committee was ap

pointed composed of Dr Charles R Nash assistant vice chancellor for academic development chairman and Presidents Fred C Davison George A Christenberry Acting President Clyde W Hall Hugh M Mills Jr Edwin A Thompson and William W Wright Jr
The Memorandum had attached thereto the recommendation of the committee which was adopted by the Board of Regents at the November 78 meeting that on a University Systemwide basis beginning in the 1980 fall quarter any student who has a high school grade point average less than 180 and a verbal Scholastic Aptitude Test score less than 250 and a quantitative mathematics Scholastic Aptitude Test score less than 280 will be denied admission
Principles fundamental to this recommendation admission rejection below 180 grade point average and below 250 verbal Scholastic Aptitude Test score and below 280 quantitative Scholastic Aptitude Test score are
1 That there are some students now being admitted to University System institutions who stand little or no chance of graduation from college or even of completion of Special Studies and could be best served in some other educational environment
2 That a Systemwide academic admissions level is both desirable and necessary to improve the quality of teaching and learning
3 That more than one variable should be considered in making the decision regarding the admissibility of students therefore the high school grade point average and the quantitative and verbal Scholastic Aptitude Test scores should be used
4 That the floor established by this recommendation should be considered an initial level which would subsequently be escalated based on experience and study
5 That the rationale for the recommendation should relate to the degree possible to the performance of students in collegelevel coursework
6 That individual institutions would be permitted to implement requirements at levels higher than the minimums encompassed by this recommendation
The Memorandum set forth some University System and institutional effects of implementation of the recommendation on the basis of 197677 fiscal year normative data including a substantial amount of statistical information
The committee has not yet recommended how we might handle students who enter with General Education Development scores and no high school grade point averages
Sophomore Comprehensive Examinations
Over several recent years there has been both discussion and effort directed toward a sophomore comprehensive examination on a campus basis Last spring Emanuel County Junior College administered such an examination This summer a similar examination was administered at Brunswick Junior College Last winter and spring Augusta College gave a national examination to sophomores Preliminary results are encouraging This effort ought to be a campus affair Whatever the results consideration of such an examination apparently is of considerable value in sharpening overall consideration of the purpose and content of the first two years of work

College Chair Named in Honor of Warren P Sewell Sr
The designation Warren P Sewell Sr Chair of Private Enterprise for a previously authorized Chair at West Georgia College was approved by the Board of Regents at the November 78 meeting
The acceptance by West Georgia College of 3000 annually from the West Georgia College Foundation to provide a 2500 salary supplement and a 500 travel allowance for the holder of this Chair effective beginning in the fall of 1979 was also approved
The West Georgia College Foundation has received 50000 from the Warren P and Ava F Sewell Foundation and has designated the income from this fund to be used to fund the Chair of Private Enterprise the Regents were told
The Regents were also told
West Georgia College President Maurice K Townsend requests that the Chair be designated as the Warren P Sewell Sr Chair of Private Enterprise in honor of the late Warren P Sewell Sr an outstanding industrialist civic leader and religious leader in the West Georgia College section of the state
President Townsend states that this procedure will provide the edge for us to attract a young faculty member of exceptional ability to fill this position and that creation of this Chair will have a positive effect in strengthening our School of Business and in the relationship between the college and the area business community
The Board of Regents in May 1978 authorized the establishment of a Chair of Private Enterprise in the School of Business at West Georgia College contingent upon the raising of required supplemental funds The Regents were told at that time that the holder of the Chair would be a highly qualified recent graduate of a doctoral program chosen through a competitive selective process
Emeritus Title for Former President
Ward B Pafford has been named president emeritus at West Georgia College The title effective beginning on November 9 1978 was approved by the Board of Regents at the November 78 meeting
Dr Pafford was born in 1911 in Jesup Georgia He served as president of West Georgia College in 197175 He was also associated with Valdosta State College as dean of the college and professor of English in 196670 as vice president dean of faculties and professor of English in 197071 and as professor of English from 1975 until he retired in June 1978
Dr Pafford was named professor emeritus of English at Valdosta State College by the Board of Regents in June 1978 effective beginning in the 1978 fall quarter

A PUBLICATION OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA VOL 14 NO 12DECEMBER 1978
Mandatory Retirement Age Raised from 67 to 70
A revision of Board of Regents policy on retirement raising the mandatory retirement age from 67 to 70 for University System employees has been adopted to become effective on January 1 1979
The revision which was adopted by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting is responsive to a new federal law which also becomes effective on January 1 1979 The federal law provides that a mandatory retirement age of less than 70 years will be unlawful for most employees but it permits an earlier mandatory retirement age for tenured faculty members The Board of Regents policy revision sets the mandatory retirement age of 70 for tenured faculty members and other employees alike
The Regents voted to authorize the raising of the mandatory retirement age in the University System from the present 67 years to the age of 70 years without citing the text of the retirement policy and without making any other change in the policy The action stipulated The various references to retirement at age 67 in the publication entitled Policies Board
of Regents University System of Georgia will be changed in accordance with this action and the revised policy will be properly distributed to all units of the University System
Through an agenda item recommending this policy revision at the December 1213 meeting the Regents were told
Federal legislation to become effective on January 1 1979 dictates that a mandatory retirement age of less than 70 years will be unlawful The Teachers Retirement System has for years had a mandatory retirement age of 70 years The current mandatory age of 67 for employees of the University System has also been effective for many years but there are no legal obstacles to this recommended change in Regents policy
The Federal legislation permits an earlier mandatory retirement age for tenured faculty members The recommended action does not provide for this exception however All employees of the University System will have the same mandatory retirement age ie 70 years rather than 67 years
This action is to be effective January 1 1979
HEW SECRETARY CALIFANO ASKED TO APPROVE PLAN
A special request for approval of the total plan for further desegregation of the University System has been sent to the highest official in the US Department of Flealth Education and Welfare HEW by the Board of Regents
This request adopted by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting reaffirms all the Boards actions set forth in four segments of a document entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia Plan and it makes some new commitments It is set forth in a letter addressed to HEW Secretary Joseph A Califano Jr
The letter to Secretary Califano reiterates the Boards position against a numerical concept as a means of further desegregation of predominantly black Albany State College a senior college It also restates the Boards stand at this time against merger of Albany State College and predominantly white Albany Junior College but it describes such a merger as a future option
Both the numerical concept which would have set a target of having white students account for 2530 percent of

Bachelors Degree Program in Nursing Approved for Georgia Southern College Associate Degree Major and Certificate Program in Emergency Medical Services Approved for Albany Junior CollegePAGE 2
Nursing Emergency Medical Services Programs Authorized
Two new programs in health care areasa bachelors degree program in nursing and an associate degree or certificate program in emergency medical services were authorized for University System institutions by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting
Georgia Southern College was authorized to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program effective beginning in the 1979 fall quarter
The program will be concentrated on the preparation of nurses to work in rural areas and small communities
The Regents were told
A recent survey of rural south Georgia hospitals in the Georgia Southern College area indicated that approximately 400 Registered Nurses mostly at the baccalaureatedegree level were in demand by the hospitals and would be employed immediately if graduates were available
The program will follow the guidelines established for accreditation by the National League for Nursing It will prepare graduates for practice in community hospitals medical and mental health clinics including primary care clinics nursing homes and other health care agencies in the nonurban and rural areas surrounding Statesboro and Bulloch County
Georgia Southern College has a large pool of potential nursing students with an enrollment of some 3600 women students
The Georgia Southern Colleges proximity to a number of small communities with hospitals and clinics will provide a unique nursing education experience which should help retain graduates in rural and small communities where nursing personnel are scarce Based on the experience of other University System institutions in rural areas it is anticipated that 50 percent to 70 percent of the nursing graduates will remain in practice in the service area
Funds for operation of the program expected to cost approximately 100000 for the first year and 250000 per year by the third year will be provided by the college through its established operating budget
Projected enrollments in the program are 25 students in the first year 55 students in the second year 100 students in the third year and 125 students in the fourth year
The program will have a positive impact on the racial balance at the college and in the labor market in rural south Georgia With a high minority population 30 percent35 percentin south Georgia every attempt will be made to recruit minority students into the program It is expected that the enrollment of minority students in the program will approximate that of south Georgia This will improve the racial makeup of the college while also providing minority graduates for employment in south Georgia
Nursing programs at both the associate degree level and the baccalaureate degree level have been under consideration for Georgia Southern College since 1972 Consideration of a nursing degree program proposal for this college first received in the Board of Regents office in 1974 was deferred because of a statewide study of nursing education and was later postponed because of budgetary considerations
Albany Junior College received approval to implement a program to provide a choice between a major in emergency
medical services under the institutions Associate of Science degree program or an advanced certificate in emergency medical services effective beginning in the 1979 winter quarter
A requirement for enrollment in the program will be a basic certificate in emergency medical services according to the request for approval of the program Data from the Georgia Department of Human Resources indicate that approximately 250 persons in south Georgia have the basic certificate classifying them as emergency medical technicians basic the request indicated
Also according to the request
Graduates of the certificate program at Albany Junior College will be classified as advanced emergency medical technicians The associate degree program will be available to students who wish to pursue higher education andor seek a supervisory position
Estimates indicate that enrollment will be 20 students 30 students and 35 students respectively in the first second and third years of operation of the program
State and federal laws and regulations have established standards for basic and advanced emergency medical technicians The regulations also require that emergency medical service personnel be certified
Funds for the operation of the program expected to cost approximately 46000 annually will be provided by the college through its regular operating budget
It is anticipated that minority students will account for about 20 percent of enrollment in the new program and that the program will not change significantly the racial balance of the student body of the college
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program for Georgia Southern College and the associate degree and certificate program in emergency medical services for Albany Junior College along with four other new degree and major programs in health care areas at other University System institutions were included in the Board of Regents agenda for the November meeting Action on these two programs was deferred in November by the Board until the December meeting

The System Summary
Project Designs Among Steps Authorized for Construction
Designs for new construction projects at Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College were authorized by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting
Also an increase in the project budget of a construction project at Kennesaw College was approved by the Board at the same meeting
New Construction Projects
Design for an R Building Community Life Improvement Center project at Fort Valley State College with a project budget of 2500000 was approved
The tentative appointment of Balian and AssociatesArchitects Macon to prepare preliminary plans for this project was also approved
This project is intended to provide a new facility containing approximately 40000 square feet It will include laboratories for agricultural research offices seminar rooms and a 300seat auditorium
The authorization for the design of this project is the initial step toward fulfillment of a commitment made by the Board of Regents in the Fourth Segment of A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia The Fourth Segment document adopted by the Board in October 1978 set forth plans for expansion of agricultural resident instruction research and extension at Fort Valley State College and projected the construction of a building at a cost of approximately 2500000 to be used in these programs The Community Life Improvement Center facility will be used primarily in the research and extension programs
Design for an Administration Building project at Savan
nah State College with a project budget of 1000000 was approved
The tentative appointment of Lee Meyer architect Savannah to prepare preliminary plans and specifications for this project was also approved
This project provides for the remodeling of the existing Gordon Library built in 1959 and containing approximately 28500 square feet of space into the administration building for the college Savannah States library operations have been moved into a new library building which was completed in 1977
The present administrative offices of Savannah State are located in Meldrim Hall which is obsolete and needs to be replaced the Regents were told in the December 1213 agenda There is a plan to demolish Meldrim Hall upon the completion of the remodeling of the Gordon Library to provide land for the expansion of the Student Center at the college the Regents were also told
Project Budget Increase
The project budget of the Academic Building project at Kennesaw College was increased 136139 to a new total of 1667864
In the same action an allocation of 136139 to finance the increase was made from the 197778 supplemental state appropriation to the University System
The new project budget reflects redesign of the Academic Building project and reestimation of the cost of the project In the initial bidding in August 1978 on construction of the project the low bid was 35 percent higher than the construction budget Following the rejection of all bids which action was ratified by the Board of Regents in September 1978 the architect was instructed to redesign the project
Systemwide Fees Discussed Vote on Increases May Come
The possibility of increasing matriculation and nonresident tuition fees at University System institutions was discussed by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting
The Board while not taking a vote on future fees requested the Boards staff to give further study to this matter
Board Chairman Milton Jones told the Regents that there might be an agenda item on fee increases at the January or February Board meeting For this reason he said he desired for all Regents to have sufficient time in advance to discuss and otherwise consider the matter At the Chairmans request Regent Lamar R Plunkett chairman of the Boards standing Committee on Finance and Business Operations led the discussion
The matter of possibly increasing the student fees was introduced a week before the December 1213 meeting through a memorandum from Chancellor George L Simpson Jr to all Board members The memorandum reviewed past and present student feesstate appropriations ratios Subject to discussion at the December meeting the Board may want to
consider an increase in student fees at the January Board meeting the Chancellor wrote
The memorandum indicated that student fees currently pay 204 percent of the cost of instruction 68632497 of a total of 336812484 budgeted for the 197879 fiscal year whereas the basic practice of the Board of Regents has been to maintain a ratio of 25 percent student fees 75 percent state appropriations for paying the cost of instruction
Recent History of Fee Increases
In the recent history of the University System the Board of Regents generally has increased at threeyear intervals the matriculation fees paid by all students and nonresident tuition paid in addition to matriculation fees by outofstate students The quarters in which the last five increases became effective were 1966 summer 1969 summer 1972 summer 1975 summer and 1976 spring The 1976 increase was authorized to relieve a budgetary squeeze that the Board of Regents termed the most serious financial crisis of recent years in the University System The University System state appropriation for the 197576 fiscal year was reduced 24132175 in a state governmentwide financial crisis

Nonresident Tuition Waivers Continue as Now Prescribed
A statement reaffirming the Board of Regents position of permitting nonresident tuition waivers only under currently prescribed conditions was adopted by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting
A commitment to pursue study of reciprocal agreements between Georgia and other states to waive nonresident tuition was voted by the Board at the same meeting Regent Lamar R Plunkett chairman of the Boards standing Committee on Finance and Business Operations said We have talked this over with SREB Southern Regional Education Board which is currently exploring this matter of reciprocity Lie asked for and received unanimous agreement of the Regents to request the Boards staff to study continuously with SREB the matter of reciprocal waivers of nonresident tuition
The actions were taken in response to a request from a delegation from south Georgia led by State Senator Henry P Russell Jr at the November 1978 meeting The delegation asked the Board to endorse a delegationbacked proposal for a reciprocal agreement between the State of Georgia and the State of Florida to waive nonresident tuition for students in south Georgia and north Florida The delegation gave Board members copies of a document containing data on studies the backers of the proposal had made over a period of several months in connection with the proposed reciprocal agreement
An agenda item on the proposal by the south Georgia delegation reviewed by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting indicated
Arguments Against Changing Position
Currently the Board permits the waiver of nonresident tuition for very limited numbers of students eg those sponsored by eleemosynary or governmental organizations dependents of University System employees dependents of public school teachers etc These waivers are longstanding ones to which the University System budgetary procedures have adapted The proposed agreement can hardly be considered as applicable only to the citizens of certain counties contiguous with Florida The precedent established there would affect all counties bordering all contiguous states Moreover as a matter of policy these advantages probably should be extended to all Georgia residents The potential loss of revenue is estimated to be in the 5000000 range annually This revenue loss would necessarily have to be recovered either from additional state appropriation or from increased fees for other students It is apparent that the beneficial result of such a reciprocal waiver would be felt by the minority of students who leave the state for public higher education The financial burden of such a waiver would be felt by the total tax structure of the state or by those students who attend Georgiasupported institutions From a legal point of view the constitutionality of such an agreement is cloudy according to informal discussions with counsel on the matter
Nonresident fees received by University System institutions from students from all states contiguous to Georgia exceed 5000000 annually
GOLF TRACT ACQUIRED LEASED TO ASSOCIATION
The Board of Regents has accepted a quitclaim deed to and has also approved the lease of 230122 acres of the Armed Forces Golf Course property Oliver Area Fort Gordon Military Reservation in Augusta
The quitclaim deed dated December 8 1978 was obtained from the federal government through the Secretary of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare The property conveyed by the deed which has also been known as the Fort GordonAugusta Golf Course includes an 18hole golf course and seven buildings
Approval has been given for the execution of a lease agreement between the Board of Regents and the Augusta College Athletic Association Inc ACAA leasing to ACAA all real and personal property included in the quitclaim deed This lease is authorized for a term of 10 years beginning on December 14 1978 with the Board of Regents having the right to terminate the lease agreement on 30day notice upon breach of any of the terms of the lease
Both the acceptance of the quitclaim deed and the approval of the lease agreement with ACAA were among actions taken by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting
This lease transfers to the ACAA the operation and maintenance of the property conveyed by the quitclaim deed the Regents were told through an agenda item It is similar in form and substance to other leases between the Board of Regents and the Athletic Associations of the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech covering athletic facilities leased to these Associations
ACAA will in turn execute a mangement contract with the Augusta Golf Association for the continued use of the property as a golf course with such contract to be subject to approval by the parties the agenda item indicated
The Board of Regents sought to acquire the property which was declared surplus to the needs of the federal government at the request of Augusta College The steps in the acquisition began in June 1977 at which time it was anticipated that the property would be declared surplus The formal application for the acquisition was made to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare in October 1977 shortly after the property was declared surplus
In the formal application for acquisition of the property the Board of Regents virtually ruled out the operation of a public golf course as such by Augusta College but it left open the option for the Board to authorize operation of the golf course by a governmental or nonprofit entity through a lease or service arrangement
The Board of Regents in December 1977 authorized Augusta College to initiate plans to establish the Augusta College Athletic Association ACAA under Georgia law That action also gave authorization for ACAA to enter into an agreement in compliance with terms and conditions to be approved by the Board of Regents and in compliance with requirements of the federal government covering the use operation and maintenance of the golf course on the property the Board was at that time seeking to acquire

HEW Secretary Continued from Front Cover
total enrollment of Albany State College within four years and the merger of Albany State College and Albany Junior College in the event of failure to reach such enrollment have been strongly advocated by HEW representatives Both of those proposed provisions were rejected by the Board of Regents in October 1978
The letter to the HEW Secretary commits the Board to establish a standing committee of Board members to monitor review and implement the total Plan for University Systemwide further desegregation and to take new actions specifically related to further desegregation of Albany State College The commitments pertaining specifically to Albany State College include review of the enrichment program already committed for Albany State review of all programs offered by Albany State and by predominantly white colleges in the same area and recommendation of elimination of educationally unnecessary program duplication that may be found to exist at traditionally white institutions and review of the desirability of a merger of Albany State and Albany Junior College
The letter was presented to the Board by Regent James D Maddox chairman of an ad hoc Regents Special Desegregation Committee appointed by Board Chairman Milton Jones following the Boards adoption of the Fourth Segment of the furtherdesegregation Plan for the University System to negotiate with HEW for approval of the Plan It was adopted without modification
A portion of the letter synopsizes the Boards actions in the development and transmission to HEW of four Segments of the Plan between July 1977 and October 1978 A substantial portion of it focuses primarily however on the matter of further desegregation of Albany State College which is one of the principal subjects dealt with in the Fourth Segment of the Plan
The Fourth Segment of the Plan was approved by the Board of Regents on October 19 1978 and was transmitted to David S Tatel director of the HEW Office for Civil Rights As stipulated by HEW it deals solely with special aspects of further desegregation of the University Systems three predominantly black senior colleges Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State Collegeand of the Systems predominantly white institutions geographically proximate to these predominantly black colleges The document includes Board commitments for all of the three predominantly black senior colleges including the projection of initiation of several new degree programs and of an addon fiveyear multimilliondollar construction and campus improvement program for each of these institutions It also includes projected modifications of some of the educational programs of a predominantly white senior college Armstrong State College at Savannah and of predominantly white Albany Junior College
The Fourth Segment document was drafted by a sixmember committee of Board members following extended discussions and public hearings involving Board of Regents members and Board staff members faculties alumni and students of the institutions principally involved and citizens of the communities principally involved The Boards vote on the document was preceded by a public hearing in Atlanta on October 18 One major section of the drafting committees report which
contingently provided for the merger of Albany State College and Albany Junior College was rejected by the Board The rejected section which had been inserted at the insistence of HEW representatives for consideration by the full Board would have set a target of whitestudent enrollment of 2530 percent of total enrollment at Albany State College by the end of the 198182 academic year That section also would have required the merger of Albany State College and Albany Junior College in the event that white enrollment should fall short of the target
The merger would have involved the move of Albany State College to the Albany Junior College campus and the development of additional academic facilities at a cost estimated at 208 million to 243 million inclusive of 68 million bonded indebtedness on the facilities on the Albany State campus
Most of the Regents expressed views at the October 19 meeting opposed the whiteenrollment targetcontingency merger proposal In these views
It was not thought that a merger was favored by Albany State College constituents or by Albany Junior College constituents or by the Albany community
Albany State College and Albany Junior College being a fouryear institution and a twoyear unit respectively did not have conflicting programs
The target of having white students account for 2530 percent of the total enrollment at Albany State College by the end of the 198182 fiscal year as the alternative to merger would have been a quota instead of a projection or a goal In previous segments of the current University System desegregation Plan the Board of Regents has established the position that enrollment projections and other similar anticipations developed by System institutions and the Boards office are to be construed as projections or goals and not as quotas and HEW has concurred in this position
The construction of necessary additional academic facilities on the Albany Junior College campus to accommodate the move of Albany State College to that campus would not be a justifiable expense
The Fourth Segment document had been envisioned by the Board prior to the October 19 meeting as the possible culmination of the Boards yearslong efforts to develop a comprehensive University Systemwide furtherdesegregation Plan that would satisfy HEW and the US District Court of the District of Columbia Board Chairman Milton Jones predicted on October 19 however after the enrollment target provision for Albany State College and the contingency merger provision for Albany State College and Albany Junior College were rejected by the Board that HEW would not approve the Fourth Segment document
Office for Civil Rights Director Tatel wrote on November 14 in a letter addressed to Governor George Busbee that most of the provisions of the Fourth Segment document were satisfactory and he lauded some of the provisions
Mr Tatel added in the letter However the Fourth Segment does not contain acceptable provisions with respect to Albany State College The Fourth Segment of the Plan is inconsistent with the commitments made in the March 8 Third Segment of the Plan submission because it does not either provide adequately for the enhancement of Albany State and for the elimination of educationally unnecessary

The System Summary
duplication in program offerings between Albany State and nearby institutions or for combining Albany State with one of these traditionally white institutions The proposal to place several new programs at Albany State and to otherwise enhance it as a fouryear college represents some progress but does not offer a realistic possibility of desegregating that institution It is for this reason that Georgias Plan does not yet meet the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Amended Criteria
Criteria for the preparation of A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia were sent by HEW to the Board of Regents in July 1977 The criteria were subsequently amended by HEW in that agencys requirements for Board commitments in addition to those set forth in the First Segment of the Plan
The First Segment of the Plan which was approved by the Board of Regents in August 1977 deals comprehensively with virtually all aspects of further desegregation throughout the University System The First Second and Third Segments were approved provisionally by HEW on March 14 1978 The Second Third and Fourth Segments were developed in response to requirements stipulated by HEW to deal with special aspects of further desegregation that HEW considered were not adequately dealt with in the First Segment
TEXT OF PORTION OF FETTER
The text of a portion of the letter from the Board of Regents to HEW Secretary Califano is
Mr David Tatel director of the Office for Civil Rights in his November 14 1978 letter addressed to Governor George D Busbee indicated that with the exception of minor technical details all aspects of the University System of Georgia Plan the document entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia were acceptable with the exception of provisions related to Albany State College He concluded that The proposal to place several new programs at Albany State and to otherwise enhance it as a fouryear college represents some progress but does not offer a realistic possibility of desegregating that institution Mr Tatel further stated that It is for this reason that Georgias Plan does not yet meet the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Amended Criteria
Based on oral and written conditions provided by Office for Civil Rights negotiators prior to the submission of the October 19 1978 component Fourth Segment of the Plan the Board of Regents concludes that any plan acceptable to the Office for Civil Rights requires the achievement of a 2530 percent white enrollment at Albany State College prior to the conclusion of plan implementation Only full and complete merger of Albany State College with educationally dissimilar Albany Junior College would appear to offer promise of such numerical results The Board considers the Office for Civil Rights numerical concept unrealistic and further concludes that all available evidence suggests that the imposition of any such requirement would adversely affect minority faculty students and staff
In light of these realities the Board of Regents affirms its previously described commitments of the Plan both to the academic and administrative strengthening of the three historically black University System institutions and to the continued provision of programs actions and policies for the entire University System which assure equal higher educational opportunity for all citizens of the State The Board of Regents will continue to vigorously implement all aspects of its total Plan
Each action to be taken under the commitments of the Plan represents a step toward a true unitary system of higher education and must not be misconstrued as a move toward separate but equal institutions
The specific approach adopted by the Board of Regents is
best understood in the context of the substantial progress realized to date as described in the Plan and related report documents and in the light of the need for a national policy with regard to the current and future characteristics of historically black institutions
The issues posed by the Office for Civil Rights interpretation of the Amended Criteria are complex and pervasive The position of the Board of Regents is necessarily firm and specific with regard to these issues The following summary of recent activities leading to these positions is provided in the interest of clarification
I
On March 14 1978 you accepted provisionally the Plan submitted by the Board of Regents for the further desegregation of the University System of Georgia
Your provisional acceptance required that the Board of Regents conduct a study of the situation with respect to the three traditionally black institutions Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College This study was to be completed by the first of July with a proposal to be submitted by the Board to HEW in August
The study was conducted as required within a framework of five options for action contained in the Plan provisionally approved by you Four of these options required major changes such as mergerin the operation of these institutions The fifth option provided some possibility for the development of actions not specified in the other four options
II
The Board of Regents has conducted a study of each of these institutions and of the predominately white institutions that are in geographic proximity to these schools
As part of this study the Board of Regents established Liaison Committees for each of the three locations These committees were representative of all of the constituencies related to each school including members of the Board of Regents As well there was in each case a Working Committee representative of the faculties and staffs
The Liaison Committees held more than 20 public meetings at which a full range of thoughts and proposals were presented
III
It now seems clear that it is necessary to set forth a summary of the more important considerations issues and facts relating to this particular matter
The problem of what action the Board is to take has become difficult and intense The process of public meetings has brought forward a depth of emotion unparalleled in the affairs of the University System Questions of the most fundamental nature must be answered to reach a decision in this matter because the problem relates to noneducational as well as educational matters
IV
Through the Constitution of Georgia the people have given the Board of Regents the obligation to provide a system of higher education adequate to serve the needs of the State in regard to amount and extent of offerings and as well to the quality of institution and preference
The educational responsibility therefore is the first and last responsibility of the Board of Regents Certainly if the Board is to act otherwise its reasons for doing so must in some way be validated
The Board of Regents has the obligation to insure access to all institutions of the University System for black students who were at one time excluded Inherent in this obligation is the recognition of past wrongs whose effects continue to have some relationship to the successful education of black students It is necessary to explore every avenue that is educationally acceptable to provide interim help to black students
These two obligations of the Board are not necessarily contradictory but there are problems that require patient work and

a calm approach whose focus is essentially this to provide black and white students with a college education that is of real value in American Society
V
Following receipt of Mr Tatels letter of November 14 1978 a new Regents committee was appointed to study the Plan previously submitted in light of comments contained in that letter This committee has met with Mr Tatel and representatives of HEW It has reviewed staff reports and has inspected the physical facilities of Albany State College and Albany Junior College
The Board finds there are no educationally unnecessary program duplications between Albany State College and predominately white institutions in the same area The Board also finds that it is impracticable to merge Albany State College and Albany Junior College at this time Approximately 25 percent of the enrollment at Albany Junior College is black It is expected that the Plan adopted by this Board will lead to a substantial increase in the number of white students enrolled at Albany State College
As a consequence of these and other complex factors and in view of an absence of a current national policy with regard to historically black institutions the Board of Regents requests that you approve the total Plan previously submitted together with the review commitments specified below Your acceptance of the Plan at this time would greatly facilitate further progress in the provision of educational opportunities to both black and white citizens of Georgia Your acceptance of the Plan would also avoid much of the debilitating effect throughout the University System which would inevitably result otherwise
Your review authority under the Plan would permit your periodic assessment of progress realized and the identification of possible problem areas including specific circumstances related to the Albany situation Under this Plan the Board of Regents will immediately proceed to amend its bylaws to convert the Regents Special Desegregation Committee to a standing committee with authority including but not limited to the duty to monitor review and implement the Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia With specific regard to Albany State College this committee will a review the effectiveness of the enrichment program proposed for that college in the Fourth Segment of our Plan b conduct a continuing review of all programs offered by Albany State College and by predominately white colleges in the same area and recommend the elimination of educationally unnecessary program duplication that may be found to exist at traditionally white institutions and c continue review and study of the desirability of a merger between Albany State College and Albany Junior College
For reasons noted above merger of Albany State College and Albany Junior College is not viewed as feasible or desirable at this time However the Board does not foreclose this as a future option and will diligently pursue merger or other alternative approaches to desegregation of Albany State College if in the Boards view future circumstances should so indicate
We would greatly appreciate a prompt reply from you regarding the points made in this letter As I am sure you can understand many of the more significant proposals we have made in our prior submissions to your Department are scheduled for implementation during 1979 If we are going to be able to resolve
this matter and proceed with the planning and implementation of these proposals we need to proceed
BACKGROUND ON PLANS
The current document entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia is only the most recent one of several University System furtherdesegregation plans with the same title The immediately preceding such plan dealing with virtually all aspects of further desegregation throughout the University System was approved by the Board of Regents in June 1974 and was accepted by HEW in July 1974 The 1974approvedandaccepted Plan was implemented upon its approval by the Board and the Boards office made semiannual reports to HEW on the furtherdesegregation activities carried out under the Plan
The US District Court of the District of Columbia ruled in April 1977 that the 1974appro vedandaccepted Plan of the University System of Georgia and furtherdesegregation plans of five other states in the South were inadequate and ordered HEW to obtain revised plans It was on the basis of that ruling that HEW in July 1977 instructed the Board of Regents to develop and submit a new furtherdesegregation plan which has been submitted by the Board in four segments most of which has received HEWs provisional approval and for which the Board is seeking HEWs nonconditional approval
Prior to 1974 the Board of Regents submitted to HEW in response to that agencys directives a number of University System of Georgiawide interim furtherdesegregation plans Those interim plans were not rejected by HEW but were returned by that agency with requests for adjustments
The usual practice of the Board of Regents has been to begin the implementation of each of the furtherdesegregation plans immediately upon the Boards adoption of the plan The provisions of each plan have been kept in effect until revised Under this practice some of the provisions of the current foursegment Plan still awaiting HEWs nonconditional approval have been implemented planning for the implementation of other provisions of this Plan is proceeding
HEWs activities related to integration of higher education in Georgia and several other states in the South have been monitored by the US District Court of the District of Columbia in an eightyearold lawsuit Kenneth Adams et al plaintiffs v the Secretary of HEW et al defendants The District Courts requirements for new desegregation commitments and actions in connection with the lawsuit have been directed to HEW Directives of HEW pertaining to the desegregation in the states involved in the lawsuit including but not limited to those mandated by the District Court have been directed to the states

program in one field Also included as a part of the concept is expansion of Armstrong State Colleges programs in continuing education related to health professions
The Board approved only the concept Each program element of the concept will be developed in detail and brought
forward for Board of Regents approval at appropriate times the Regents were told through an agenda item
The agenda item refers to the concept as a tenyear plan presented by Armstrong State College President Henry L Ashmore
The Board of Regents sometime ago approved the concept of Armstrong State College serving as the focal point of

1805Acre PeanutFacility Property at Oglethorpe Sold
The sale of approximately 1805 acres of Board of Regents improved property with equipment located at Oglethorpe Macon County was authorized by the Board of Regents at the December 1213 meeting
The action provides for the sale of the property known as the Montezuma Peanut Facility of the Coastal Plain Experiment Station of the University of Georgia to be made to Herbert Saliba Inc Byromville for 201000
This property was acquired by the Board of Regents for the University of Georgia as a gift from the Kroger Company in 1965
The Board of Regents in December 1977 authorized the sale of this property Three bids were received on December 6 1978 the highest of which was that of Herbert Saliba Inc 201000 The other bids were 185001 and 7601050
Appraisals made on the property were 300000 160000 179345 207795 The average was 211785
The recommendation to sell the property made in a staffprepared agenda item submitted to the Regents included a recommendation to eliminate from consideration the highest appraisal and to evaluate the bids on the basis of the three other appraisals which averaged 182380
Through the agenda item the Regents were told that the 300000 appraisal was reviewed by representatives of the University of Georgia and this Board of Regents office and judged to be out of line because of an unrealistic evaluation of
the improvements and in view of the other three appraisals
Through the agenda item the Regents were also told
The improvements at this facility are between 32 and 40 years old and the majority are in poor condition
The appraiser evaluating the entire property at 300000 appraised these improvements at twice the value of the other three appraisers although he had the land valued at the same price as the other appraisers
Gold Kist Inc has been renting the Montezuma Peanut Facility for several years The present rental is on a monthtomonth basis
A bid of 57000 for this property was rejected by the Board of Regents in November 1971 That was the only bid received from an advertisement of the property for sale as authorized by the Board in February 1971 Appraisals of the property at that time averaging 140647 were 114400 125115 182425
