Hospital Rates Continuedfrom Front Cover
be the raising of amounts collectible from patients hospitalized under federally funded Medicare and Medicaid programs The increases like the present charges however would apply to all patients alike
The deferral of action was voted after more than an hour of discussion which covered close to half of the unusually short Board meeting The Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee was requested to visit the Medical College to obtain additional information on the hospital charges
The proposed increases are Private Room 32 percent from 100 to 132 Semiprivate Room 356 percent from 90 to 122 Ward 376 percent from 85 to 117 Intensive Care Unit 302 percent from 285 to 371 Coronary Care Unit 315 percent from 270 to 355 Burn Unit 266 percent from 320 to 405 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 283 percent from 300 to 385 Nursery 59 percent from 85 to 90
The increases were proposed to become effective on February 1 1979 a year and a half after the last increases in the daily room charges at the Talmadge Hospital went into effect The last increases approved by the Board of Regents in July 1977 to become effective on August 1 1977 were in the range of 25 percent to 50 percent in eight categories By categories those increases which are still in effect were Private Room 25 percent from 80 to 100 Semiprivate Room286 percent from 70 to 90 Ward 308 percent from 65 to 85 Intensive Care Unit 326 percent from 215 to 285 Coronary Care Unit 50 percent from 200 to 300 Burn Unit 28 percent from 250 to 320 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 50 percent from 200 to 300 Nursery 308 percent from 65 to 85
The increases in effect since August 1 1977 were introduced into the Regents discussion with figures cited to show that in the three categories that comprise more than 90 percent of total hospital room charges these increases plus the proposed increases would be Private Room 65 percent Semiprivate Room 74 percent Ward 80 percent
Some of the major aspects of the proposed increases in the Talmadge Hospital charges as brought out in the discussion at the Board of Regents meeting and in written materials submitted by the Medical College in support of the proposal were
The revenue generated by the proposed increases would be budgeted approximately equally for two purposes to pay additional hospital operating costs attributable to inflation in commodities and salaries since the last increases were implemented to transfer to the hospital budget some hospital costs that currently are being paid from the Medical Colleges resident instruction budget The principal items involved in the budget transfer from resident instruction to the hospital would be funds for the portions of salaries of faculty members of the School of Medicine applicable to hospital administration supervision and patient care and the Board of Regents payments to the Teachers Retirement System for hospital personnel
Transfer of some hospital costs from the resident instruction budget to the hospital budget would not necessarily reduce the state appropriation to the Medical College but it
would lessen the imperative of adding further funds to resident intruction at the institution
Daily room charges account for approximately 40 percent of the total charges at the hospital the remainder of the total charges is made up of ancillary and outpatient charges The Medical College plans to increase ancillary charges for such items as laboratory services anesthesiology operating room and xray but does not propose to increase outpatient charges at this time In recent years at least proposed increases in ancillary charges have not been submitted for Board approval but proposed increases in daily room charges and outpatient charges have been submitted for such approval
Approval and implementation of the proposed increases in daily room charges and of the planned increases in ancillary charges would raise the average daily charges per patient by 60 from 218 to 278 and would raise the projected average daily cost per patient from 236 to 243 therefore the average charge per patient per day would go from a level of 18 below cost of operation to 35 above projected cost of operation
Approval and full implementation of the proposed increases in charges would produce additional income of approximately 3449000 per year This amount takes into account that some patients are indigents who are not covered by insurance of any type and who cannot pay their bills
The operation of the hospital is financed with a combination of internal income and state appropriation The ratio in the 197879 fiscal year budget is 55 percent internal income 45 percent state appropriation
The increase of the total charges would enable the hospital to increase the amounts collectible for patients under Medicare and Medicaid programs which pay actual charges not to exceed costs as well as amounts collectible from other patients who can pay During the current fiscal year that began last July 1 payments from Medicare and Medicaid have accounted for 66 percent and payments from insurance companies have accounted for 25 percent of hospital collections Payments from insurance companies while not necessarily equaling charges are for the most part based on charges
Collections of patient charges at Talmadge Hospital currently amount to approximately 60 percent of charges
With the proposed increases the total charges and the total costs at the Talmadge Hospital will still be well within those of comparable teaching hospitals in neighboring states
A table submitted in support of this comparison indicated average total charges and average total costs per patient per day for Talmadge Hospital and six other teaching hospitals in five Southeastern states The table also listed the numbers of beds and the occupancy rates of the same hospitals
Armstrong Fort Valley Funds
Net allocations of 7000 for the development and improvement of facilities at Armstrong State College and Fort Valley State College were authorized by the Board of Regents at the December meeting
These allocations were made from direct cash capital outlay funds provided in the state appropriation to the University System for the 197879 fiscal year

It is the purpose of this agreement and the intent of all parties hereto that the manager the Augusta Golf Association shall use its best efforts to provide and maintain a firstclass championship quality golf course for Augusta College and the general public according to one of the sections of the detailed agreement form presented to the Regents with the request for approval
The agreement sets forth several conditions under which the instrument can be canceled before expiration ofthe 10year period Among the means of cancellation is 30day notice by the Augusta College Athletic Association that it concludes that the Augusta Golf Association has failed to carry out the intent of the agreement or has breached any of the terms of the agreement
The Board of Regents voted in December 1978 to accept the quitclaim deed to the golf course property and approved a lease agreement with Augusta College Athletic Association The lease agreement transferred to the Augusta College Athletic Association the operation and maintenance of the property conveyed by the quitclaim deed
The formal application to acquire the Armed Forces Golf Course was made by the Board of Regents to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare in October 1977 shortly after the property was declared surplus by the federal
government That action was preceded by several preliminary steps toward acquisition when there was anticipation that the property would be declared surplus
Augusta College requested the Board to seek to acquire the property for operation by the college as a public golf course and for educational and recreational purposes In the application for acquisition the Board indicated that the property would be used by Augusta College primarily for educational purposes and virtually ruled out the operation by the college of a public golf course as such The Board however reserved the option to authorize operation of the golf course by a governmental or nonprofit entity through a lease or service arrangement
In December 1977 the Board of Regents voted authorization for Augusta College to establish a nonprofit Augusta College Athletic Association The Board at that time also made a commitment to permit the Augusta College Athletic Association to enter into an agreement covering the use operation and maintenance of the property that at that time was being sought The Board stipulated that such agreement would be in compliance with terms and conditions to be approved by the Board and in compliance with requirements of the federal government
The Armed Forces Golf Course has also been identified as the Fort GordonAugusta Golf Course and as the Forest Hills Golf Course Located within the city limits of Augusta approximately one mile from Augusta College it consists of an 18hole golf course and seven buildings

Desegregationplanoriented graduate and professional scholarships were authorized for 95 students at 15 University System institutions for the 1979 winter quarter that began in January
The total amount of money provided for these awards which are known as Regents Opportunity Scholarships and which are financed with state appropriations is 154940 for the winter quarter or an average of 1631 per recipient for the quarter The scholarships are for 5000 each per threequarter academic year The perstudent scholarship funds are payable 1666 per quarter in all cases except at the School of Dentistry at the Medical College of Georgia where they are payable 3000 in the fall quarter 1000 in the winter quarter and 1000 in the spring quarter
Eightysix of the winterquarter recipients were also Regents Opportunity Scholarship recipients in the 1978 fall quarter when the awards were initiated
The Regents Opportunity Scholarship program was a commitment by the Board of Regents in a University System furtherdesegregation plan adopted in four segments by the Board in 1977 and 1978 and transmitted to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW in response to a directive from HEW This commitment was to seek a state appropriation of 500000 annually to provide 100 scholarships at 5000 each per year for economically disadvantaged graduate and professional students The commitment indicated that the scholarship program would be used to increase enrollment of minority students in graduate and professional programs in disciplines in which enrollment of such students primarily black studentstraditionally had been low
A state appropriation of 500000 was made to the University System for the 197879 fiscal year to implement fully the Regents Opportunity Scholarship program

330330 Minimum Scores Continued from Front Cover
ment test If the student does not make a satisfactory score on this BSE he or she will be required to take Special Studies mathematics
The minimum score of 330 on each of the two parts of the SAT for exemption from BSE testing for potential placement in Special Studies would be a University Systemwide minimum requirement and institutions would be allowed to set higher requirements according to an agenda item recommending adoption of the new procedure Currently 18 institutions are using separate verbal and mathematics SAT scores at or above the levels proposed in this recommendation the agenda material also indicated
The recommendation originated in the University Systems Special Studies Committee and also received approval from the Systems Administrative Affairs Committee as well as approval from the University System Advisory Council that consists of the Chancellor and the Presidents of all System institutions the Regents were told
In making the recommendation the Special Studies Committee indicated that the use of part scores would improve an institutions student placement procedures by focusing on the more specific needs of students in mathematics reading and English the Regents were also told
Ever since the 1974 fall quarter when the Special Studies program was implemented throughout the University System by action of the Board of Regents a minimum combined verbalmathematics SAT score of 660 of a student has been required University Systemwide for exemption of the student from special testing for potential placement in Special Studies remedial courses However there has not been a Systemwide minimum requirement on either the verbal part or the mathematics part of the SAT From the beginning of Special Studies all institutions have been permitted to establish higher minimum combined verbalmathematics scores for exemption of students from special testing for potential placement in Special Studies A substantial number of the institutions soon established such higher minimum combined SAT scores and some of these institutions early on also established minimum verbal and mathematics SAT part scores
The mandatory SAT part scores procedure for identifying students for special testing for potential placement in Special Studies remedial courses was adopted for four University System institutions prior to the Board of Regents action at the February 1314 meeting to place this procedure on a Systemwide basis The procedure for these four institutions however includes also one element a minimum combined verbalmathematics SAT scorethat was not specified as a minimum requirement in the newly approved University Systemwide procedure
The Fourth Segment of a University Systemwide plan for further desegregation adopted by the Board of Regents in October 1978 sets forth the procedure for Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College all predominantly black senior colleges and for Armstrong State College Savannah a predominantly white senior college The provision of the Fourth Segment stipulates for all four of these colleges Students with at least 330 verbal and 330 mathematics and at least 750 combined Scholastic Apti
tude Test SAT scores will be exempted from Special Studies Students with less than 330 verbal or 330 mathematics 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
The Special Studies program consists entirely of remedial nondegreecredit courses in reading mathematicsand English for students who cannot meet academic requirements for full admission to regular freshman collegecredit work A student may be required to enroll in one two or all three of the areas of remedial work with the specific requirement in this regard being determined by special testing A student may be enrolled for a combination of Special Studies remedial work and regular collegecredit work
In the 1978 fall quarter 9760 students at University System institutions were enrolled partially or wholly in Special Studies In that quarter those students accounted for 23 percent of all presophomore enrollment of 42384 students including in addition to the Special Studies students 32624 students classified as regular freshman students In the 1978 fall quarter 124767 students were enrolled in all categories
Special Studies Floor in 1980
The Special Studies program has been operated since its inception without a University Systemwide floor an indicated level of academic preparedness below which an applicant denied admission to regular freshman collegecredit work would also be denied admission to the Special Studies program The Board of Regents in November 1978 however established University Systemwide minimum academic qualifications for entrylevel admission the effect of which is projected to deny admission to a relatively small number of applicants who previously would have been accepted
Under the new minimum academic qualifications which will become effective in the 1980 fall quarter a student will be denied admission if he or she has a high school grade point average based on academic coursework of less than 180 and a verbal SAT score of less than 250 and a mathematics SAT score of less than 280 Thus an applicant with either a high school grade point average of 180 or more or a verbal SAT score of 250 or more or a mathematics SAT score of 280 or more would be eligible for admission at institutions with minimum academic qualifications for admission no higher than those scheduled to be implemented in the 1980 fall quarter However each University System institution has authority to set its own minimum qualifications higher than those established on a Systemwide basis There is only the prohibition that an institution cannot establish minimum qualifications below those approved for implementation on a Systemwide basis
A report to the Board of Regents in November 1978 recommending approval of the University Systemwide minimum academic qualifications for admission indicated that such minimum qualifications if they had been in effect in the 197677 fiscal year would have denied admission to 266 entering students or less than 1 percent of 29486 entering students in that period

Committee The January proposal was for increases ranging from 266 percent to 376 percent in seven categories in which most of the daily room charges are levied and 59 percent in one category

The scaleddown increases in hospital room charges will be accompanied by increases in ancillary charges Talmadge Hospital the Medical Colleges teaching hospital plans to implement These combined increases will be used the Regents were told to bring the total average charge per patient per day into line with total average cost per patient per day The January proposal for increases in daily room charges larger than those approved in February also indicated that ancillary charges would be increased
The total average charge per patient per daythe combination of room and ancillary chargesrecently has been running approximately 18 below the total average cost of 236 per patient per day the Regents were told
Room charges recently have accounted for approximately 45 percent of the total average charge per patient per day
The scaleddown increases will provide generation of additional charges for approximately the inflation in cost of goods and services since the last increases in daily room charges were implemented in August 1977 Increases for this purpose accounted for approximately half of the total increases requested in the January proposal
These scaleddown increases will not provide generation of additional charges for the two other objectives set forth in the January proposal 1 to cover costs of the state contributions to the State Teachers Retirement System applicable to personnel included in the hospital budget and to the portion of faculty time not included in the hospital budget but devoted to hospital activities and 2 to pay faculty salaries applicable to that portion of faculty time not included in the hospital budget but devoted to hospital activities The contributions for retirement are currently being paid from a Board of Regents budget account made up of state appropriation the faculty
salaries are currently being paid from the Medical College s resident instruction budget made up primarily of state appropriation but also including some internal income from student fees and other sources
The largest impact of implementation of the overall increases in charges will be the raising of amounts collectible from patients hospitalized under Medicare and Medicaid programs The higher charges like the current charges however will apply to all patients alike
Since the beginning of the 197879 fiscal year payments to the hospital from federally funded Medicare and Medicaid programs have accounted for approximately 66 percent and payments from insurance companies have accounted for approximately 25 percent of hospital collections
Under regulations in effect for the last three years the Regents were told Medicare and Medicaid will pay only the charges up to cost Under previous regulations the Regents were also told Medicare and Medicaid would pay either cost or charges up to costso these programs previously would pay full cost even if charges were lower
Payments from insurance companies while not necessarily equaling charges are for the most part based on charges the Regents were further informed
The potential for obtaining substantial amounts of additional money from the federal government through increased charges to be made by Talmadge Hospital to patients hospitalized under Medicare and Medicaid programs was cited to the Regents as one of the principal features of the January proposal for increases in daily room charges The use of such additional federal money to cover some costs for which state appropriations are currently being used was emphasized
The recommendation for approval of the scaleddown increases was made to the Board at the February meeting by Finance and Business Operations Committee Chairman Lamar R Plunkett on behalf of the Committee
A delegation of Regents including some members of the Finance and Business Operations Committee and Board of Regents fiscal affairs staff members conferred with President William H Moretz and other officials and staff members of the Medical College of Georgia at the Medical College on January 29 to discuss Talmadge Hospital charges and related matters Committee Chairman Plunkett and Vice Chancellor for Fiscal AffairsTreasurer ShealyE McCoy visited Talmadge Hospital on January 30
The scaleddown increases in daily room charges approved by the Board and the increases in ancillary charges to be implemented by Talmadge Hospital will result in an overall increase of 131 2 percent in charges to patients This overall increase Regent Plunkett said will be within Presidential guidelines
Regent Plunkett told the Board at the February meeting that the proposal for the increases in hospital daily room charges didnt come within the flow of the budget request If the Board decides later to approve such increases as the portion of the January proposal that was not approved in February he continued that action should be taken through regular budgetary procedures
He spoke favorably of the rationale for raising and budgeting through regular budgetary procedures the additional non

stateappropriation funds that had been anticipated from the unapproved portion of the January proposal Referring to the additional nonstateappropriation funds that had been anticipated in that unapproved portion he said I do not mind triggering these in so long as they are triggered with the deletion of appropriation from the state correspondingly at the same time
Approval of the portion of the January proposal that was not included in the scaleddown increases authorized in February Regent Plunkett said would not have switched costs right now from state appropriation to the federal government and other thirdparty payers Such a switch would have required adjudication by the state he continued since funds are currently budgeted from the state appropriation for the purposes involvedretirement contributions and faculty salary time
Approval of the January proposal in its entirety as it was presented would have caused ongoing escalation Regent Plunkett commented
Chancellor George L Simpson Jr told the Board that he was in accord with the phasein proposition
The Chancellor said that his main problem pertaining to the matter of the increases in charges was the absence of increases to cover in the hospital budget some faculty salary time currently being paid for from the Medical Colleges resident instruction budget
If we can transfer faculty time properly and appropriately the Chancellor said then in our scheme of things we are relievingif not immediately then down the roadthe burden on the Formula The Formula is a guide used as the basis for Board of Regents requests for state appropriations for University System resident instruction operations among which are faculty and other personnel positions
Placing teaching faculty members in the Talmadge Hospital budget as a justifiable charge not related to patient care directly but other things would free up that many positions in the Formula the Chancellor continued
The Formula when it was initiated was very good for the times but it is not very good for a large medical school he added
The Formula the Chancellor referred to was first devised for the University System in the early 1960s Since it was implemented the Medical College of Georgia has undergone substantial expansion including increase of the number of medical students in the entering class from approximately 100 to almost twice that number and corresponding increases in the numbers of students in the other classes Also during this period the Medical Colleges role as a medical center has been enhanced
Chancellor Simpson in January told the Board that there was a strong need for increased revenue other than state appropriation to permit switching from the Medical Colleges resident instruction budget to the Talmadge Hospital budget costs of faculty members time spent on hospital activities
Such a switch as that envisioned in the January proposal for increases in charges to Talmadge Hospital patients he said would not necessarily reduce the state appropriation
to the Medical College of Georgia It would however he said lessen the imperative of adding further funds to resident instruction at that institution
Neither the increases proposed in January nor the increases approved in February were represented to produce collections as high as the projected costs Since the beginning of the 197879 fiscal year last July 1 collections of patient charges by Talmadge Hospital have amounted to approximately 60 percent of charges
Talmadge Hospital requires payment of charges in proportion to the patients ability to pay in each case using as its authority for this practice a policy adopted by the Board of Regents in 1955 Some patients pay part or all of their charges some patients pay nothing
State appropriations allocated by the Board of Regents are used to pay the difference between Talmadge Hospitals collections and costs The Talmadge Hospital budget for the 197879 fiscal year is made up of 55 percent internal income 45 percent state appropriation
The January proposal for increases in daily room charges was submitted with the request that it be approved to become effective on February 1 1979 That proposal brought expressions of dissatisfaction from several Regents based primarily on belief that increases as large as those being sought would hamper efforts to curb inflation Introduced into the discussion of the proposal were increases in Talmadge Hospital daily room chargesranging from 25 percent to 50 percent in eight categories approved by the Board of Regents in July 1977 to become effective on August 1 1977
The Board voted after more than an hour of discussion at the January meeting to defer the proposal until the February meeting and to request the Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee to visit the Medical College of Georgia to look into the matter
Data on Talmadge Hospital
Six Other Southeastern Teaching Hospitals
After the increases in daily room charges and ancillary services charges are implemented total average charges and total average costs at Talmadge Hospital will still be well within those of comparable teaching hospitals in neighboring states the Regents were told That statement along with a supportive table was included in the January proposal for the increases larger than those approved in February
The table listed total average charges room and ancillary servicesand total average costs for Talmadge Hospital and six of the other teaching hospitals in five Southeastern States It indicated The Januaryproposed average total charge per patient per day of S278 for the Talmadge Hospital revised to approximately 248 in the scaleddown increases compared with a range of 289 to 377 for the six other hospitals The projected average total cost per patient per day of 243 at Talmadge Hospital compared with a range of average total cost per patient per day of 263 to 337 for the six other hospitals
The table also indicated these numbers of beds and occupancy rates for the hospitals Talmadge Hospital 505 beds and occupancy of 71 percent the six other hospitals beds ranging from 422 to 916 and occupancy ranging from 74 percent to 90 percent

The contents of the Fourth Segment Addendum document were reviewed and summarized for the Board of Regents at the February 5 meeting by University System Vice Chancellor John W Hooper
SUMMARY OF ADOPTED MEASURES
Under the Fourth Segment Addendum document approved by the Board
An intercampus unit of administration will be established for coordination of all joint endeavors between Albany State College and Albany Junior College
A Criminal Justice Institute will be established at Albany State College
A TwoPlusTwo academic program will be implemented to link the twoyear curricula at Albany Junior College and the fouryear curricula at Albany State College in selected areas
A Distinguished Scholars Program will be established at Albany State College
A Student Incentive Program including special scholarships will be established to encourage increased numbers of white students to transfer into Albany State College
Steps will be taken to facilitate recruitment by Albany State College of students who will graduate from Albany Junior College
The feasibility of joint appointments of some personnel at Albany State College and Albany Junior College will be studied
Special Studies Programs at Albany State College and Albany Junior College will be studied and appropriate changes necessary in each program will be identified and implemented
The Boards commitment in the Fourth Segment Addendum document for the pursuit right away of still further measures currently not fully identified for improving coordination between Albany State College and Albany Junior College is
The new intercampus unit will by December 1 1980 examine and make recommendations as to steps not set forth in this plan which might improve coordination between the two colleges such as construction of new facilities regular transportation between the two campuses further revisions of program offerings and other joint endeavors
The Boards commitment in the Fourth Segment Addendum document on special actions that might possibly be taken after a threeyear period is
If at the end of a threeyear period significant additional progress toward desegregation has not occurred at Albany State College aggressive additional steps will be taken by the Regents including possibly the creation of coordinate twoyear colleges on a single campus or merging Albany Junior College with Albany State College into a single institution
In the 1978 fall quarter white students accounted for 41 percent of total student enrollment at Albany State College and black students accounted for 245 percent of total enrollment at Albany Junior College

The System Summary
mately 1000000 beginning in the 198081 fiscal year to house the Institute the joint Albany State CollegeAlbany Junior College extension and public service program continuing education and related activities
The Regents will not establish an institute similar to the one described in this plan at any other unit of the System prior to the expiration of this plan namely June 30 1983 however the right to establish masters programs in criminal justice at other universitylevel and senior unit institutions more than 150 miles distant from Albany is reserved
The approved section setting forth the prohibition against the establishment of another Criminal Justice Institute and the limitation on the establishment of other masters degree programs in criminal justice is an amendment enacted by the Board at the February 5 meeting The original wording of this section was The Regents will not establish an Institute similar to the one described in this plan in the southwest Georgia service area
Regent Elridge W McMillan said he believed the original wording should be revised to stipulate a geographical area larger than southwest Georgia service area He suggested amending the section to substitute southern portion of the state He said the matter being dealt with is atypical of the situation in the University System
Board Chairman Milton Jones said he was not 100 percent certain that the section as it was originally worded would be acceptable
Regent Erwin A Friedman reminded that the Board of Regents had not previously established a masters degree program in criminal justice anywhere in the University System The authorization for the establishment of such a program at Albany State College would be he said a significant development at that institution inasmuch as according to his understanding a number of institutions in other parts of the state have submitted requests for this kind of a program that have not been processed and sent to the Board of Regents for action
I think we need to be aware with the language thats in here he said that we will be receiving pressure from other areas of the state He was referring to the language of the originally worded section establishing the Criminal Justice Institute with a masters degree program in criminal justice
Chancellor George L Simpson Jr told the Board In the ordinary course we would be bringing some kind of recommendation on proposals for masters degree programs in criminal justice He said that such recommendation would be brought perhaps as early as February the regular monthly meeting but certainly in the very near future
Vice Chancellor Hooper said that while there is not a masters degree program identified as criminal justice in the University System there are two masters degree programs in operation that in essence are programs in criminal justice These are offered by Georgia State University and Georgia Southern College he said under the aegis of the Master of Public Administration degree
Following a recess of the Board a reworded section pertaining to the Criminal Justice Institute and a masters degree program in criminal justice was read to the Board by Chairman Jones and was approved as the amendment The Chairman said he thought that in view of some conflicting and divergent views on the matter the Regents might want to give some consideration to the reworded section He also emphasized that the reworded section if adopted would still
allow the Board of Regents to authorize the masters degree program in criminal justice at a number of other places in addition to Albany among which would be Atlanta and Savannah where such a degree might be proposed
Regent Friedman asked for clarification of the intent for the research component of the Criminal Justice Institute particularly whether the research envisioned for the Institute would be any kind of a departure from the present practice that concentrates research primarily at universities One of the basic characteristics which distinguishes universities from fouryear colleges is the conduct of research at the universities he said I would not want anybody to be misled I dont want to be misled When you start to tell fouryear schools about research components you are it seems to me opening a door perhaps
Both Chancellor Simpson and Vice Chancellor Hooper responded that the implementation of the research component of the Criminal Justice Institute would not change in actuality the present differentiation between research at the universities and research at the senior colleges
Vice Chancellor Hooper said however that the research focused through the Criminal Justice Institute would be more visible 1 would say than the work that normally goes on within a senior fouryear institution
In the case of the research component of the Criminal Justice Institute the Vice Chancellor explained it is expected that the main emphasis will be in criminalisticssuch as police procedures analysis of evidence and utilization of evidence The Criminal Justice Institute research component would not be unlike what you have say in the Geosciences Department at Georgia Southwestern College where you have a gathering of scholars with particular skills and abilities he continued They have a few a very fewfederal research grants and they conduct work within their area of specialization

Board Allows Additional Elective Insurance for Employees
Increases in supplemental group life insurance available to employees of the University System were authorized by the Board of Regents at the March 1314 meeting
The additional insurance which was authorized to become available on September 1 1979 will be entirely elective by the individual employee according to the recommendation for the Boards action The employee will pay the bill for additional insurance elected according to the recommendation which stipulated The change authorized additional coverage will not represent any increased cost per employee to the University System
Text of Recommendation
The recommendation set forth in an agenda item reviewed by the Regents indicated
The policy of the Board of Regents regarding group life insurance provides that the Regents will pay the premium for the first 15000 of term life insurance to which the employee is entitled while the employee may elect to carry additional coverage up to predetermined limits depending upon the salary of the employee with the employee paying the premium for the amount above 15000
The present insuring agreement provides for accidental death and dismemberment insurance related directly to the value of the term life insurance in effect Thus if an employee is accidentally killed while the insurance is in force his beneficiary would receive the face amount of the policy as life insurance and a like amount under the accidental death provision or receive double indemnity benefits The rate for this coverage is 47 cents for the life insurance and 3 cents for the accidental death and dismemberment coverage on a monthly basis for each 1000 of life insurance in effect
The resulting 50cent rate would not increase initially as a result of the extension of the table to the higher limits shown The change will not represent any increased cost per employee to the University System The increased amount will be entirely elective by the individual employee
The University System Advisory Committee on Fringe Benefits noting the inflation rates recommends that this change be made so that the effects of inflation will be somewhat mitigated in the estate planning of employees of the University System
This change will become effective September 1 1979
The group life insurance coverage under this plan is provided by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States
Full Additional Amount Elective
In order to obtain the newly authorized additional supplemental life insurance each employee will be required to take the full amount of such additional insurance Jacob H Wamsley director of business operations in the Board of Regents office said following the March 1314 meeting
Administrative details pertaining to the additional insurance will be sent to all institutions well in advance of September 1 Mr Wamsley also said
The present and newly authorized life insurance plans for University System employeesindicating amounts of basic coverage for which the premiums are paid entirely by the University System and amounts of authorized elective supplemental coverage for which premiums are paid entirely by employees are

The System Summary
Doctoral Bachelors Majors Voted for Two System Units
A formalized new major in an ongoing doctoral program at the University of Georgia and three new majors in an existing bachelors degree program at West Georgia College were approved by the Board of Regents at the March 1314 meeting
Also at the same meeting the Board gave approval for the discontinuance of an associate degree major program at Georgia College
New Programs
The University of Georgia received approval to offer a major in molecular and population genetics under the Doctor of Philosophy degree program effective beginning in the 1979 spring quarter
This new major formalizes an interdepartmental program in genetics inaugurated in 1971 involving conduct of graduate education and training in genetics within the various departments of the Division of Biological Sciences The major according to the University of Georgias proposal to implement it will encourage an environment of intellectual excellence for the study of genetics unmatched in the Southeast and comparable at few institutions in the United States the Regents were told through an agenda item
The specific aims of the new major the agenda item indicated are
To give formal status to the current program in genetics in order to foster a more coherent approach to graduate training in the areas of molecular genetics and population genetics
To develop a graduate program dedicated to excellence in teaching and research
To create a formalized program in genetics which will attract increased grant support highquality graduate students and postdoctoral trainees distinguished faculty and visiting distinguished scholars
To stimulate an intellectual environment which will encourage the continued development of genetics at the University of Georgia and the strengthening of the Division of Biological Sciences
To promote increased national and international recognition for the program in genetics and for the Division of Biological Sciences
The agenda item also indicated
The present interdepartmental program in genetics has received approximately 40 applications for graduate study also an increasing number of graduate students from the Departments of Microbiology Biochemistry and Zoology have chosen to work under the faculty members whose major interests fall within the areas of molecular genetics and population genetics
Enrollment in the new major is projected to be 40 39 and 45 students in the first second and third years respectively of operation of this major The enrollment in the first year is projected to consist of 35 students diverted from other departments 5 new students The enrollment in the third year is projected to include 2 students diverted from other departments 33 continuing students 10 new students
The faculty for the new major represents an eminent
group of biological scientists Fourteen of the 17 members of this group are currently funded for research by at least one granting agency the director of the group is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and is currently the chairman of this bodys Genetics Section
Incremental support necessary to fund the new major is projected to be not more than 20000 per year to be derived from institutional resources for the first three years
Since the faculty staff and students for this program new major are already in place in four of the departments of the Biological Sciences Division of the College of Arts and Sciences no important impact on the Desegregation and Affirmative Action programs of the University of Georgia is envisioned from initiation of the new major The initiation of this major however should stimulate continued growth in the areas which should in turn increase the opportunities to implement additional steps in the Affirmative Action program of the University Also the initiation of the major may open opportunities for additional cooperation including some exchange of faculty members and students between the University of Georgia and Atlanta Universitys Resource Center for Science and Engineering
West Georgia College was given authorization to implement majors in biology geology and mathematics under the institution s existing Bachelor of Science degree program effective beginning in the 1979 fall quarter
West Georgia College currently offers majors in biology geology and mathematics under the Colleges Bachelor of Arts degree program The position of the College is that the majority of students who major in these respective fields would prefer a stronger concentration in the sciences in lieu of the foreign language study required in the existing Bachelor of Arts degree program according to the request to the Regents for approval of the program These newly authorized majors under the Bachelor of Science degree program will provide alternative degree programs for those students who may wish to take additional course work in their major fields and in such related areas as chemistry computer science and statistics the request set forth in an agenda item indicated
Also according to the request
Anticipated enrollments in these three newly authorized programs are 90 students in the first year 115 students in the second year and 140 students in the third year These numbers include many students presently enrolled in the existing Bachelor of Arts degree major programs
It is anticipated that the more technical emphases of the newly authorized Bachelor of Science degree majors will increase the minoritystudent percentage of students majoring in the fields involved Minority students presently account for 13 percent of students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts degree programs in biology geology and mathematics It is anticipated that minority students will account for 17 percent of students enrolled in the newly approved Bachelor of Science degree programs
According to West Georgia College President Maurice K Townsend the requisite courses faculty library resources and equipment necessary to inaugurate these alternative degree programs are all in place and hence no additional funds are required President Townsend considers all three of the newly

authorized majors to be vital to the continued development of West Georgia College
Curricula for the newly authorized majors are consistent with similar other approved Bachelor of Science degree programs in senior colleges and universities within the state and are generally regarded as the more professional programs of study for students in the field
Discontinuance of Degree Program
Georgia College was given approval to phase out the Associate of Science degree program in nursing
The action provides that freshman students will continue to be admitted to this twoyear program through the 1979 fall quarter but that freshman students will not be admitted to the program in the 1980 fall quarter
Georgia Colleges baccalaureate degree program in nursing will be continued
Georgia College received approval to offer the Associate of Science degree program in nursing in 1968 and the Bachelor of Science degree program in nursing in 1976
Four University System institutions in the central Georgia area offer associate degree programs in nursingGeorgia College Gordon Junior College Macon Junior College and Middle Georgia College Georgia College offers the only baccalaureate program in nursing in this area
In order to provide quality nursing education the Regents were told in the request for discontinuance of the associate degree program Georgia College can best serve the University System by concentrating its faculty and clinical resources on the baccalaureatelevel program

We are actively involved at the present time in implementing the full range of commitments made under the desegregation plan Dr Hooper told the Board Aside from implementing those commitments which are Systemwide we are proceeding on a team basis in three areas of particular immediacy to try to meet each of the specific requirements of the plan
The three areas of particular immediacy are Albany Savannah and Fort Valley Dr Hooper told the Board that formal Board of Regents staff work in these three areas would be inaugurated right away with the staff relying in each instance very heavily upon the local constituencies of the colleges
In each of these areas there is one of the three predominantly black senior colleges of the University System and in each of two of the areas there is a predominantly white college of the System These institutions are predominantly black Albany State College and predominantly white Albany Junior College a twoyear institution in Albany predominantly black Savannah State College and predominantly white Armstrong State College a senior college in Savannah and predominantly black Fort Valley State College in Fort Valley
The last two components of the plan adopted by the Board of Regents in October 1978 and February 1979 include a substantial number of major special commitments pertaining to these institutionsmost for enhancement and further desegregation of the predominantly black senior colleges but some also involving the predominantly white institutions These two components which were in preparation for almost a year involved extensive discussionand considerable disagreement between the Board of Regents and HEW The entire plans most extensive commitments for additions and other modifications to programs and physical facilities involve the three predominantly black senior colleges
Some Commitments Musts
Referring to the commitments set forth in the entire plan Dr Jordan said All of these commitments are important but there are some that are musts All of the commitments have to do with the improvement of student recruitment practices and techniques the improvement of student re

tention practices and techniques and also employment of minority persons
FullScale Beginning in Albany
Dr Jordan told the Regents that taskforcelike implementation of the plan involving Board staff members and officials and staff members of the institutions was scheduled to be applied on a fullscale basis first at Albany involving Albany State College and Albany Junior College beginning on March 15 Between that date and April 12 he explained visits to Albany were scheduled by at least seven Board staff members with responsibilities in academic development fiscal affairs services recruitment personnel and health affairs
The efforts at Albany will be followed Dr Jordan said by similar taskforcelike efforts at Savannah involving Savannah State College and Armstrong State College and at Fort Valley involving Fort Valley State College
Systemwide Status of Plan Emphasized by the Board Chairman
Board of Regents Chairman Milton Jones emphasized the University Systemwide status of the furtherdesegregation plan and said that the full authority of this Board will back the implementation of the plan
Particularly in the later deliberations it seemed that most of our Board of Regents conversations with HEW kind of zeroed in on a few of the institutions he said whereas in my opinion this whole plan deals with all of our University System institutions
The first report to HEW on implementation of the furtherdesegregation plan will be made for the period that will end on August 31 Dr Jordan told the Board
It is my hope that well have the strongest kind of submission as to what we have done by August 31 he said because I believe that the plaintiffs in the case will be looking at our first submission very much I understand that they have already flagged some criticisms of the plan They have not gone back into court to ask for relief but they want to see how well we do what we say were going to do and I think that that first report will be very very important
Dr Jordan said the University System Applicant Clearinghouse located at the University of Georgia should be involved in all employment situations to the extent that it will be the
first place the president will look when he is trying to hire somebody
The Applicant Clearinghouse was established in 1975 Its primary function is facilitation of the implementation of the University System Affirmative Action program for employment by institutions of women and minority persons It can also be used by institutions however to locate applicants other than those in the Affirmative Action categories
Applications of unhired applicants for employment in designated categories of positions at the institutions are channeled with the applicants consent in each case into the Clearinghouse The designated categories initially were administration and faculty The scope of the Clearinghouse was expanded by a commitment in the present furtherdesegregation plan to include some staff positions not previously included
An addition to the Clearinghouse to be known as Position Vacancy Listing is scheduled to be implemented on May 1 Mary Ann Hickman assistant vice chancellor for personnel said This Listing will identify all vacant academic and administrative positions not covered by the Wage and Hour Law and will be mailed to all institutions about twice a month Dr Hickman said It will be distributed to the institutions in such ways that any faculty member or other employee interested in applying for a vacant position at another institution will have knowledge that that position is available she explained
Standing Committee Move Initiated
The Board of Regents informally agreed at the March 1314 meeting that a bylaws amendment to convert the ad hoc Regents Special Desegregation Committee into a standing committee would be presented at the Boards April 1011 meeting
The Regents Special Desegregation Committee guided the drafting of the University Systemwide furtherdesegregation plan
A commitment to convert the Committee into a standing committee was contained in a letter to Secretary Joseph A Califano Jr of the US Department of Health Education and Welfare in December 1978 urging approval of the furtherdesegregation plan The standing committee the Boards letter indicated would be established to monitor review and implement the plan

PLANS APPROVAL HISTORY
The University Systems entire fivecomponent furtherdesegregation plan was given formal unconditional approval by the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW on March 2 in a letter from David S Tatel director of the agencys Office for Civil Rights to Governor George Busbee
The plan had been orally approved on February 9 by HEW Secretary Joseph A Califano Jr according to an announcement then from Washington
Officially entitled A Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia the plan was developed by the Board of Regents and the Boards staff between July 1977 and February 1979
The first three components of the plan setting forth comprehensive commitments for further desegregation of all the 32 institutions of the System were provisionally approved by HEW on March 14 1978 In giving the provisional approval HEW officials made clear their intention against giving unconditional approval to a University System furtherdesegregation plan that did not deal with to HEWs satisfaction enhancement and further desegregation of the University Systems three predominantly black senior colleges Albany State College Savannah State College and Fort Valley State College each bearing the name of the municipality in which it is located
The last two components of the plan set forth special commitments for enhancement and further desegregation of the three predominantly black senior colleges Some of these commitments also substantially involve two of the University Systems predominantly white institutions Albany Junior College a twoyear unit at Albany and Armstrong State College a senior college at Savannah
The plan was developed at the direction of HEW which was acting in response to an order from the US District Court of the District of Columbia Previously beginning in the early 1970s the Board of Regents and the Boards staff had developed at the direction of HEW a series of University Systemwide furtherdesegregation plans most of which were returned for additions or other revisions A plan approved by both the Board and HEW in 1974 however was in operation for three years until in April 1977 the District Court ruled that it was inadequate and ordered HEW to require a revised plan
In a lawsuit filed in the early 1970s Kenneth Adams et al plaintiffs v the Secretary of HEW et al defendants the District Court has monitored HEWs activities in connection with the desegregation of higher education in Georgia and nine other Southern states

The System Summary
REGENTS MEETING
March
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia held a regular monthly meeting at the Boards office in Atlanta on March 1314
Some of the actions of the Board at that meeting are reported in the following items and in separate articles elsewhere in this issue of The System Summary
Approval was given to amendments to the statutes of Georgia State University as submitted by Georgia State President Noah Langdale Jr
The amendments which were approved by the general faculty of the institution were proposed the Regents were told to grant representation to persons holding faculty rank but not included in the original representation format to create overlapping twoyear terms for members of the Senate thereby aiding continuity of that bodys work to correct the inadvertent omission of a student representative for the College of General Studies and to update the nondiscrimination statement to include age and handicap
The amendments were reviewed and approved by the executive secretary and other officials of the Board of Regents prior to the recommendation for Board approval in March the Regents were told
Authorization was given for President Fred C Davison of the University of Georgia to execute on behalf of the Board of Regents an amendment to the trust agreement under which the Eleanor Ferguson Vincent Fund was created at the University
The Board of Regents in 1970 authorized the execution of the original trust agreement In accordance with a provision of the original agreement the donor has requested that the purposes of the trust be expanded to permit the University of Georgia to utilize the fund to provide a reception and dinner in honor of the speaker who is to be provided under the terms of the original agreement according to an agenda item reviewed by the Regents
The agenda item also indicated
The primary purpose of the Fund is to obtain outstanding lecturers in the field of landscape architecture and environmental design
The location of the reception and dinner will be designated by the dean of the School of Environmental Design and the expenses will be provided by income from the trust estate or from donations to the trust fund
Authorization was given for the chief business officer of each of the University System institutions to execute the assignment of defaulted National DefenseNational Direct Student Loans carried on the records of that institution to the US Office of Education
The Regents were told through agenda material
Recent communications from the Department of Health Education and Welfare have indicated that the Department will accept defaulted loans from the various institutions which participate in the National DefenseNational Direct Student Loan Fund program thereby permitting the institution to writeoff the obligation Ninety percent of the funds in
volved in this program were initially federal funds with the remaining 10 percent being nonstate funds contributed to the institution for the specific purpose
Authorization was given for the execution of a rental agreement between the Board of Regents and E J Mixon Waresboro covering the fluecured tobacco allotment for 1979 assigned to property on the Waycross Junior College campus The allotment is 790 pounds the rental will be 300
When the property for Waycross Junior College was acquired the Regents were told in a staffprepared agenda item a portion of the property had a fluecured tobacco allotment which allotment passed to the Board of Regents
This agreement covering the 1979 tobacco cropyear only provides for Mr Mixon to pay Waycross Junior College 300 for the use of the allotment which will enable him to grow additional tobacco on his farm the Regents were told
The purchase of property located at 3107 Gentian Boulevard Columbus for the benefit of Columbus College was approved
The property will be purchased from Mrs Vashti Camp Kellum Shellnutt for 12000 the average of three appraisals
The Board of Regents in the action also allocated 12500 from direct cash capital outlay funds provided in the 197879 fiscal year state appropriation to the University System for the purchase of this property
Columbus College President Thomas Y Whitley requested that the property be purchased according to an agenda item The property is surrounded by property already owned by the Board of Regents and it is the only remaining parcel on Gentian Boulevard that will be acquired for Columbus College under present plans the agenda item indicated
Authorization was given for the execution of a rental agreement between the Board of Regents and the Medical Research Foundation of Georgia landlord providing for rental of clinic and office space in Augusta for use by the Medical College of Georgia
The agreement covers rental of 10150 square feet of space in buildings known as 1004 Chafee Avenue and 1521 Pope Avenue for three months beginning on April 1 1979 with option to renew for five additional years at a monthly rental of 3806
This space will be used by the Department of Dermatology of the School of Medicine at the Medical College the Regents were told through agenda material Clinic and faculty offices of the Department of Dermatology are presently located in a temporary structure that is in bad need of repair and will be demolished in order to provide additional parking at the Medical College the Regents were told
General operating funds at the Medical College will be used to pay for the rental of this space according to the agenda material
Authorization was given for the demolition of five buildings located at the University of Georgia College of Agricultures Coastal Plain Experiment Station Tifton
The buildings will be sold to the highest bidder or if no bids are received will be demolished by University of Georgia forces
University President Fred C Davison recommended the demolition of these buildings as a part of the continuing effort to upgrade the appearance of the Experiment Station the Regents were told through an agenda item
March 1979

Employment Policy Revised
Revision of policy of the Board of Regents pertaining to employment of persons under 1618 years of age and of persons over the mandatory retirement age was approved by the Board of Regents at the March 1314 meeting
A restatement of policy on retirement described as largely a housekeeping matter was also approved by the Board at the same meeting
REVISION OF EMPLOYMENT POLICY
The newly approved policy provision on employment entitled Age Criteria is a substitute for section 114 in the Board of Regents policy manual
The text of this newly approved provision is
The employment of all persons under the age of 18 years shall be in compliance with the regulations of the US Department of Labor Individuals who have reached the mandatory retirement age shall not be employed or offered employment in any capacity without prior approval of the Board of Regents effective July 1 1979
The text of the policy provision to be superseded entitled Employment of Individuals Over 70 Years of Age section 114 in the Board of Regents policy manual is
Institutions of the University System shall be authorized to employ individuals beyond the age of 70 in cases where compensation is paid entirely from special research or other grants and where the individuals concerned are outstanding and distinguished scholars and scientists
The Board stipulated that Volume 3 of the Business Procedures Manual of the University System is to be changed to be in conformity with the newly approved revision of policy on employment
An agenda item review by the Regents indicated
Volume 3 Business Procedures Manual presently contains the statement Generally no person under the age of 16 shall be employed in any capacity in the University System In the case of hazardous occupations this limit is 18 years of age This statement is eliminated in the wording suggested and subsequently approved
The Board in a separate action also deleted from the Board of Regents policy manual a subsection entitled Salaries from Research Grants of section 126 entitled Salaries
The text of the deleted subsection was
Institutions are authorized to employ certain individuals beyond the age of 70 in cases where the compensation is paid entirely from special research or other grants and where the individuals concerned are outstanding and distinguished scholars and scientists
Deletion of this subsection was required by the change in the policy pertaining to the employment of persons beyond the compulsory retirement age
RESTATED RETIREMENT POLICY
The newly approved restatement of the policy on retirement is a substitute for section 127 entitled Retirement in the Board of Regents policy manual
The restatement of the policy serves primarily to eliminate from Board policy statements no longer applicable and to clarify regulations on reemployment of retired University System employees
Retirement Policy Restated
The text of the restated policy is
727 RETIREMENT
A Compulsory Retirement Age All employees of the University System subject to the provisions of the Teachers Retirement Law are subject also to the rules regulations and policies of the Teachers Retirement System regarding retirement from the University System of Georgia Except as otherwise provided by Board of Regents policies all employees of the University System shall retire no later than the end of the fiscal year during which they reach the age of 70
B Permissive Retirement Age for Employees All employees of the University System subject to the provisions of the Teachers Retirement Law are subject also to the rules regulations and policies of the Teachers Retirement System regarding permissive retirement

7 Compulsory Retirement Except as otherwise provided by Board policies all employees shall retire no later than the end of the fiscal year during which they reach the age of 70
2 Permissive Retirement Age Any employee subject to these provisions may retire at the age of 60 or at any time subsequent thereto

b In the case of the retirement of an employee prior to his attainment of the age of 65 years the annual retirement allowance shall be computed as outlined above and reduced by onefourth of one percent for each month by which his age at this time of retirement is below 65 years
c In no case will the Board of Regents undertake to guarantee a retirement allowance when the retiring employee has to his credit less than ten years of service in the University System
d In determining the length of service of an employee in the University System any period of time spent outside the University System will not be considered
e The provisions contained herein regarding guarantees of a specific retirement allowance shall be construed to mean that if the benefits to be reached under the Federal Social Security Act without regard to additional benefits to be received for dependents are less than the total annual allowance computed as outlined above the Board of Regents through the appropriate institution of the System will pay the difference so that the employee will receive from the two sources the guaranteed amount
D Employment Beyond Retirement When a person has been retired from the University System and is receiving supplemental retirement income from the Board of Regents the Teachers Retirement System or the Employees Retirement System he cannot thereafter be employed or offered employment in the University System in any capacity without prior approval of the Board of Regents

Establishment of a Department of Accounting Information Systems and Finance in the School of Business and of the position of head of that department
Establishment of a Department of Business Administration in the School of Business and of the position of head of that department
Establishment of a Department of Office Administration in the School of Business and of the position of head of that department
Discontinuance of the Division of Business Administration and of the Division of Education
Discontinuance of the Department of Elementary Education of the Department of Health Physical Education and Recreation and of the Department of Secondary Education
Health Benefits Plan Revised
Revision of the University System of Georgia Employee Health Benefits Plan to eliminate differential treatment of pregnancy childbirth and related medical conditions was authorized by the Board of Regents at the April 1011 meeting
The action was needed for compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which was amended by Public Law 95555 on October 31 1978 the Regents were told through a staffprepared recommendation
While full interpretation of the effects of the amendments are not yet known the recommendation indicated it is
evident that any allusion to maternity benefits must be eliminated from the Employee Health Benefits Plan which is selfinsured by the Board of Regents
Currently the Employee Health Benefits Plan provides for a 500 limitation in reimbursement for a normal pregnancy with no deductible amount The cost of childbirth in the Atlanta area had risen to approximately 13001500 for a normal pregnancy and we had been anticipating eliminating the limitation as a normal improvement in the plan
The cost to the Employee Health Benefits Plan of the increased benefits to be provided by the newly approved revision is being assessed the Regents were told

New Genetics Education Political Science Majors Coming
Two new majors under a masters degree program at the University of Georgia and six new majors under bachelors degree programs at Kennesaw College were approved by the Board of Regents at the April 1011 meeting
The University of Georgia received approval to implement in June 1979 majors in molecular genetics and population genetics under the institutions existing Master of Science degree program
The new majors are designed to complement the University of Georgias Doctor of Philosophy degree program majors in molecular genetics and population genetics approved by the Board of Regents in March 1979
The availability of the newly authorized masters degree majors will provide students in the genetics program with the opportunity to take an intermediate step in their pursuit of the PhD degree the Regents were told through an agenda item
To obtain a masters degree with a major in molecular genetics or population genetics a student must complete at least 45 quarter credit hours of graduatelevel courses and must submit a written thesis the agenda material indicated
Also according to the agenda item
Enrollment in the graduate genetics program is projected to be 40 39 and 45 students in the first second and third years respectively of operation of the newly authorized majors These enrollments were also projected in the University of Georgias request for the Boards approval in March of the Doctor of Philosophy degree program majors in molecular genetics and population genetics
The newly authorized masters degree program majors in genetics will have the same impact on desegregation efforts and the Affirmative Action program as the recently approved PhD program majors in molecular genetics and population genetics Since the faculty staff and students for this program are already in place in four of the departments of the Biological Sciences Division of the College of Arts and Sciences no important impact on the desegregation and Affirmative Action programs of the University of Georgia is envisioned from initiation of the Doctor of Philosophy degree program majors in molecular genetics and population genetics the Regents were told in March The initiation of those doctorallevel majors however should stimulate continued growth in the areas which should in turn increase the opportunities to implement additional steps in the Affirmative Action program of the University the Regents were also told The initiation of the doctorallevel majors may also open opportunities for additional cooperation including some exchange of faculty members and students between the University of Georgia and Atlanta Universitys Resource Center for Science and Engineering the Regents were further told
Kennesaw College was authorized to offer beginning in the 1979 fall quarter majors in Education under the institutions existing Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs The Bachelor of Arts degree major will be Grades 712 the Bachelor of Science degree majors will be KindergartenGrade 4 Grades 48 and Grades 712
The major in Grades 712 under both the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Science degree will include the
secondary teaching fields of biology English history mathematics political science and social science
Kennesaw College which was converted from a junior college to a senior college in the 1978 fall quarter received Board of Regents approval in May 1977 to offer the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees upon conversion to seniorcollege status The institution was authorized in February 1978 to offer majors in English history and music under the Bachelor of Arts degree and majors in business administration biology and mathematics under the Bachelor of Science degree beginning in the 1978 fall quarter
A Division of Education has been established at Kennesaw College the Regents were told through an agenda item at the April 1011 meeting to provide a resource base for
Preparation of elementary and secondary teachers to serve the schools in the Seventh Congressional District Metropolitan Atlanta and other regions in Georgia as well as the Southeast and Southwest
Public school staff development community and other educational activities for school systems in the Kennesaw College area
Seventh Congressional District citizens desiring a professional teaching field alternative to their current occupation
The agenda item also indicated
It is anticipated that as the Kennesaw College service area one of the fastest growing areas in the state of Georgia continues to grow the need for public school teachers will increase concomitantly
The newly approved Education majors are designed to meet not only state certification requirements but also the educational needs of Cobb County and surrounding public school systems
Kennesaw College has recruited six wellqualified Education faculty members each with an earned doctorate also each major division in which there is a teaching field for certification has qualified staff holding doctorates and past public school teaching experience
The newly approved Education majors are based on existing faculty and library holdings and no startup funds are needed Anticipated growth in enrollment would support additional needs for faculty and library holdings at future times
Estimates indicate that 325 388 and 441 students will be enrolled in teacher preparation programs in the first second and third years respectively of operation of these programs
Kennesaw College was given authorization to offer a major in political science under both the existing Bachelor of Arts degree program and the existing Bachelor of Science degree program effective beginning in the 1979 fall quarter
This new major under the Bachelor of Arts degree program will prepare students in the fields of law and teacher education by seeking to develop the students literary evaluative and communication skills a report to the Regents indicated
This new major under the Bachelor of Science degree will prepare students for career opportunities in governmental agencies planning agencies private research and consulting

The System Summary
firms business and industry according to the report
Also according to the report
Curricula of the newly approved programs are consistent with similar other approved political science degree programs in senior colleges and universities within Georgia
Kennesaw College has recruited a strong faculty in the area of political science with five members having a PhD degree in their teaching areas and with two members lacking only dissertation to complete their terminal degrees
Estimates indicate that 145 167 and 179 students will be enrolled in the political science programs during the first second and third years respectively of operation
Desegregation Impact
Kennesaw College believes that the newly approved Education and political science majors will have a positive impact on minoritystudent enrollment at the college and on the University Systems furtherdesegregation plan the Regents were told This expectation was reached according to an agenda item in view of an increasing percentage of minority faculty teaching in the programs their enthusiastic support of the college and the fact that traditionally minority students have been attracted to the fields of Education government politics criminal justice and public administration
Board Accepts the Proposals Of First of Program Reviews
The first Board of Regents actions resulting from comprehensive academicprogram reviews of University System institutions under new guidelines were taken at the Boards April 1011 meeting
The actions authorized Georgia Southern College to offer a major under a bachelors degree program to be effective immediately and retroactively to transfer a major from one bachelors degree program to another bachelors degree program and to change the name of a masters degree major
All these actions were requested by Dale W Lick president of Georgia Southern College since July 1978
Georgia Southern College was the first institution to be included in planned comprehensive reviews of academic programs at all institutions by Jerry M Williamson vice chancellor for academic development and Charles R Nash assistant vice chancellor for academic development The review of Georgia Southern was conducted in November
Dr Williamson and his staff working with Dr Lick and his administrative staff systematically reviewed all of the programs of study offered by Georgia Southern College and were able to clarify and resolve the problems in some 19 areas in keeping with Board of Regents policies the Regents were told
The review resulted in the discovery of some institutional misunderstanding regarding those curricula actions that required Board approval the Regents were also told through an agenda item The point at issue in most cases was the gradual addition of courses at the upperdivision level which had the effect of converting emphases and minor programs into major programs the agenda item indicated
The Board of Regents policies require Board approval of all new degrees and majors however these policies provide autonomy to the individual institutions in most matters pertaining to curricula
Academicprogram reviews have also been conducted in recent months at several other senior colleges All the reviews are being conducted under newly developed guidelines The guidelines include definitions pertaining to majors minors emphases and teaching fields These definitions are Major 30 hours or more of upperdivision courses in a field of study
Minor 20 hours of upperdivision courses in a field of study other than the students major
Emphasis Up to 20 hours of upperdivision courses in a specialty area of the students major field
Teaching FieldA broad teaching field within the secondary education major Such a field must include 30 hours of upperdivision study
In the Board actions for Georgia Southern College at the April 1011 meeting
A major in psychology under the Bachelor of Science degree program was authorized to be effective in the 1979 spring quarter and retroactively to include degrees previously awarded under this designation
The Regents were told
Georgia Southern College received approval of the Board of Regents in 1954 to award the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees and various majors have been added under these degree designations A major in psychology under the Bachelor of Arts degree program was approved by the Board of Regents in 1963 A major in psychology under the Bachelor of Science degree program was approved by the appropriate College committees in 1973 but inadvertently was never submitted to the Board of Regents for approval
Ninety of Georgia Southerns 140 psychology majors are enrolled under the Bachelor of Science degree program
Minority students account for 15 percent of the students enrolled in the Colleges psychology degree programs for 9 percent of the total enrollment of the institution
Transfer of the major in building construction technology from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree program to the Bachelor of Science in Technology degree program was authorized to become effective in the 1979 spring quarter
The Regents were told that this transfer will enable the building construction technology program to provide better service to industry
A change in the name of the major in adult education under the Master of Education degree program to that of a major in adult and vocational education was authorized to become effective in the 1979 spring quarter
The Regents were told
When this major was approved by the Board of Regents in April 1971 it was designed to serve the needs of teachers of adult education however state certification requirements have changed making it possible for this program also to provide appropriate instruction for teachers of vocational education
The newly authorized name for the major provides a more precise description of purposes and content of the program

Increases Continuedfrom Front Cover
General Assembly which approved the 197980 state appropriation and the April Board meeting Allocations of the University Systems annual state appropriation customarily have been authorized by the Board of Regents at the April meeting
The schedule for allocation and budgeting of the state appropriation as outlined to the Board at the April 1011 meeting
Preliminary allocations to be made to the institutions with approval by the Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee within a week following the April 1011 meeting
Budget conferences to be held with all the institutions
during the week of April 2327
Preparation of finalallocation recommendations to be submitted to the Board of Regents at its May 89 meeting
Following the Boards authorization of the allocations of the state appropriation the institutions will prepare 197980 fiscal year budgets including those allocations and internal income from student fees and all other sources to be submitted to the Board at its June meeting
The general state appropriation to the University System for all purposes is 408066038 for the 197980 fiscal year which will begin on July 1 This compares with a general state appropriation of 368371136 for the 197879 fiscal year Most of the increase for 197980 31415141 or 79 percent of 39694902 was provided for employee pay increases
The 1979 session of the General Assembly also provided a supplemental state appropriation of 48371189 for the University System for the 197879 fiscal year bringing the total for this year to 416742325
The actions on the pay increases and the student fee increases were modifications of the recommendations of the Boards staff
The staff recommended pay increases averaging 12 percent 5 percent acrosstheboard half for position index half for cost of living and 7 percent for merit
The staff recommended student fee increases of 7 percent for matriculation fees 10 percent for nonresident tuition fees
A table including increased matriculation and nonresident tuition fees prepared by the fiscal affairs office of the Board of Regents and distributed to fiscal affairs officers of University System institutions accompanies this article The increased fees listed in this table are rounded to fulldollar amounts as customary or to a halfdollar amount thus in most cases they reflect increases somewhat more than 5 percent for matriculation 10 percent for nonresident tuition
Pay Increase Formula
The pay increases will be distributed so that except in situations identified in the Board action all employees will receive an acrosstheboard increase in two increments totaling 5d2 percent to become effective on July 1 for fiscalyear personnel and on September 1 for academicyear personnel These increments will be designated position index or builtin increase of 2V2 percent costofliving increase of 3 percent
In addition to the acrosstheboard increase there will be merit increases totaling an average of 5 A percent for employees selected by the institutions subject to approval by
the Chancellor and the Board of Regents to receive such additional increases The merit increases will become effective in two phases 2lA percent on July 1 and 3 percent on January 1 for fiscalyear personnel 2x2 percent on September 1 and 3 percent on December 1 for academicyear personnel
A salary administration statement adopted by the Board of Regents stipulates
Subject to the specific implementation considerations presented below all employees are to receive acrosstheboard salary or wage increments equaling onehalf of a total percentage authorized by the Board of Regents with 25 percent designated as a position index increase and any remaining balance of the acrosstheboard segment being designated as a costofliving increase
As a further consideration the remaining salary increase allocation is to be distributed on the basis of merit
The acrosstheboard component of these salary increase funds may be applied or withheld at the president s discretion in those instances in which a the initial employment date for any individual occurred during the 12month interval prior to July 1 1979 b the employee is providing service precedent to planned termination during the 197980 fiscal year c the employee is considered already fully compensated for his or her position responsibilities and value to the University System d provided however that item c shall only apply to the costofliving portion of the increase
The Board voted to provide pay increases corresponding precisely to those fundable within the 197980 state appropriation The General Appropriations Bill provided new funds for increases averaging 11 percent however it authorized increases averaging 12 percent with the Board of Regents being authorized to provide the additional 1 percent from continuing funds
The Board of Regents requested state appropriation for pay increases averaging 12 percentincluding a iy2 percent position index segment
The state appropriation to fund the pay increases averaging 11 percent was provided in three sections in the General Appropriations Bill
1 y percent for position index or builtin increase in the University System section effective beginning on July 1 and on September 1
6y2 percent in one omnibus section effective beginning on July 1 and on September 1
3 percent in another omnibus section effective beginning on December 1 and on January 1
The appropriation of the 1H percent through the University System section also authorized the funding of the additional 1 percent portion of the Board of Regentsrequested 2y2 percent position index increase from continuing funds of the Board
The Board of Regents did not fund the 1 percent increment from continuing funds therefore a 1 percent increment of the payincrease funds in an omnibus section is in effect classified as position index increase
The action on the pay increases included a contingency provision increases averaging 9 percent instead of 11 percent in the eventuality of veto by Governor George Busbee of the 3 percent increment that was included in one of the omnibus sections of the General Appropriations Bill In that situation the Board would have funded from continuing funds a 1 per

The System Summary
cent increment of the 22 percent position index increase authorized for all University System employees
Prior to the April 1011 meeting there had been considerable speculation including that disseminated through news reports that the Governor might veto this 3 percent increment which was authorized to become effective on December 1 for academicyear employees and on January 1 for fiscalyear employees Soon after the Board of Regents meeting adjourned the Governor indicated that he did not intend to exercise such a veto subsequently he signed the General Appropriations Bill with all the pay increases authorized for University System personnel by the General Assembly
BOARD DISCUSSIONS
The proposals for employee pay increases and student fee increases were scheduled as separate items on the Boards agenda However they were considered jointly during much of the total deliberations Several Regents stated that they considered that the two matters were inseparable There were admonitions from some Regents for the Board to avoid levying fee increases for use for pay increases
Fee Increases
At the request of Chancellor George L Simpson Jr the proposal for fee increases was taken up first The Chancellor told the Board that the staff recommendation was for increases of 7 percent in matriculation fees and 10 percent in nonresident tuition fees
Staff reports indicated to the Board
The need for the fee increases resulted primarily from the increase by the General Assembly of projected internal income in the University Systems preliminary budget for the 197980 fiscal year As the Board of Regents request for state appropriation for the System for 197980 moved through the legislative process accompanied by projections of internal income for the year the projected internal income was increased 49 million and state appropriation anticipated as of that time was reduced 49 million
The increasing of the projected internal income and the decreasing of the anticipated state appropriation occurred in Resident Instruction which encompasses instruction at all the University Systems 32 teaching institutions and also teaching institutionoriented research and continuing educationextension at all these units
A table presented to the Board by Shealy E McCoy vice chancellor for fiscal affairs and treasurer indicated that increases of 7 percent in matriculation fees and 10 percent in nonresident tuition fees would produce additional revenue of 4984000 It also indicated that revenue from student fees as a portion of revenue from all sources for Resident Instruction at the 32 teaching institutions dropped from 269 percent in 196970 to 204 percent in 197879 budgeted with some ups and downs between those years and that it would be 198 percent projected in 197980 if the proposed 7 percent and 10 percent increases were adopted and implemented
Vice Chancellor John W Hooper told the Board that 49 million would be required for maintaining operations of University System institutions in the 197980 fiscal year at the same levels of the 197879 fiscal year He emphasized that the
proposed fee increases would not provide any money for funding of a portion of pay increases
Chancellor Simpson told the Board I dont think we could absorb 49 million or any major part of it without peeling the onion That would mean he explained that the System institutions would have to take off some kind of function or some kind of activity
Regent Erwin A Friedman Board vice chairman and chairmanelect led the move to reduce the matriculation fee increases from the staffrecommended 7 percent to 5 percent He made the successful motion for increases of 5 percent for matriculation fees and 10 percent for nonresident tuition fees
Most of the attention was focused on the matriculation fee increases to be paid by all students
Regent Jesse Hill Jr told the Board that he recognized the need to catch up on the fees but that he would oppose the levying of any increase in matriculation fees above 5 percent
Regent Lamar R Plunkett chairman of the Boards Finance and Business Operations Committee presiding said in response to Regent Friedmans elicitation of his view that he was willing to proceed and to vote yes on the staffrecommended 7 percent and 10 percent increases and then to continue our education at the level we had last year
Regent Plunkett added It is agonizing to raise student fees with the state actually financialwise in a position of affluence On the other hand if we do not raise the fees then rest assured from that level that we had last year we must in some way decrease the allocations to institutions by 49 million plus
Regent Friedman alluding to Regent Plunketts remark said I think its an unpleasant situation yet I am not prepared to want to cut back on our institutions either
Clearly we are between the rock and the hard place Regent Friedman told the Board It is incongruous that in a situation where the state has a large surplus and actually even has returned to the people of the state some part of that surplus in a fashion we are in essence imposing a new tax he said Thats what a tuition increase is its a tax he declared
In several areas Regent James D Maddox said funding for the University System recently has come in record or otherwise substantial measure making the present a pretty tough time to levy additional student charges He listed a record regular state appropriation of 408 million for the 197980 fiscal year including pay increases averaging 11 percent and a supplemental state appropriation of 458 million for construction and other capital outlay for the 197879 fiscal year
Regent Carey Williams Sr said that student fees across the United States have been reported rising faster at private colleges than at public institutions of higher education He said he felt that fees of University System institutions should not be so low and those of private colleges so high that the System institutions take students away from the private colleges
In two of the several instances in which discussion of the proposed student fee increases was related to the proposed employee pay increases in the agenda item that was to follow Regent Maddox and Regent Charles T Oxford proposed consideration of limiting the pay increases to 11 percent

instead of 12 percent as a means of curbing the requirement for fee increases
Regent Milton Jones Board chairman expressed concern about whether the proposed student fee increases were within
Presidential guidelines for control of inflation He said that the guidelines though voluntary apply to the University System and should be adhered to with all increased charges to be levied taken into account
Mr McCoy said that the combined proposed additional charges would be within the guidelines These included in

The System Summary
addition to the increases in matriculation and nonresident tuition fees at all System institutions increases in some activity and service charges at some of the institutions also on the agenda of the April 1011 meeting
Pay Increases
The debate on the pay increases focused on funding of the position index increment
The General Appropriations Bill authorized in the University System section a position index increase increment totaling lYi percent however it provided state appropriation for only U2 percent leaving the Board of Regents to fund 1 percent from its own continuing funds in order to give the full increment The General Appropriations Bill also provided in two omnibus sections outside the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents state appropriation for additional pay increases totaling 934 percent Thus the Board was to determine pay increases totaling an average of 11 percent by deciding against the 1 percent funding or pay raises totaling an average of 12 percent by authorizing the 1 percent funding
At the beginning of the discussion the Regents and staff members reviewed the concept and the present status of the position index
The review indicated
The position index was designed to provide an automatic builtin pay raise increment of 2J percent annually to employees of the University System
The position index increment has been advanced as a fixedpercentage base increase in compensation annually included in the continuation section of the budget to which additional pay increases of various amounts set by appropriations from year to year are added
Effort has been made through the Office of Planning and Budget and the General Assembly in behalf of funding of the position index increase increment however prospects for obtaining state appropriation for full funding do not seem to be bright
Chancellor Simpson told the Board that the position index included in the University System budget first in the 197778 fiscal year was implemented to give University System employees payincrease parity with Merit System state employees and public school teachers He said that both of these other groups have long had vehicles similar to the newer position index for University System employees for obtaining and distributing builtin base pay increases through continuation budgets
The lack of an automatic increment of pay increase annually was only one of the disadvantages to University System employees that the position index was designed to remedy the Chancellor explained Another he said was that because of the inclusion of builtin increments of pay increases in continuation budgets of agencies providing such increments the pay increases of University System employees all of which were included in the addon section of the budget were commonly interpreted as being higher than they actually were in comparison with those of the other employees More frequently he added the disadvantage was reflected from comparison of pay increases of University System employees without a
builtin increment with those of public school teachers with a builtin increment The increases for University System employees that way would have been interpreted as being higher than those for public school teachers even if they were exactly the same he illustrated
The review of the position index indicated that the builtin pay increases for Merit System state employees and for public school teachers are funded with a combination of state appropriation and agency funds in continuation budgets It also indicated that there is no ordained uniformity among the administrations of any of the builtin increasesfor University System employees Merit System state employees public school teachersas to ratio of state appropriation to agency funds or as to percentage of builtin increases provided
Regent Friedman the Board vice chairman and chairmanelect led the move to authorize pay raises averaging 11 percent corresponding to the total percentage for which state appropriation is authorized and he made the successful motion for that action That motion also provided that the pay raises would not be less than an average of 9 percent however even in the eventuality of veto by Governor Busbee as had been speculated inaccurately it turned out of a 3 percent increment provided in an omnibus section of the General Appropriations Bill
The Board approved a motion originally made by Regent Friedman and given final wording by consensus of several Regents stipulating that of the total percentage of the pay increases averaging either 11 percent or 9 percent half would be distributed on an acrosstheboard basis and half would be distributed on a merit basis
Regent Jones the Board chairman was the principal advocate of providing Board funding required to ensure pay increases averaging 12 percent
Increases averaging 12 percent 5 percent acrosstheboard 7 percent merit had been recommended by the Boards staff
Regent Jones and Regent James D Maddox both proposed after increases averaging 11 percent were adopted by the Board that the recommended 5 percent acrosstheboard portion not be reduced
Regent Friedman said that for the Board to fund a 1 percent pay raise increment in addition to the 11 percent increase for which state appropriation is provided it would have to delete the funds from other parts of the budget To me to take money away in order to get a pay raise from 11 percent to 12 percent is not good fiscal management he said
He said however that he was willing to have the Board reallocate funds from other purposes to fund a 1 percent increment of pay increase if necessary to guarantee total increases averaging 9 percent
University System employees earn the salaries that we pay them and then some Regent Friedman said An increase of 12 percent now would be inappropriate however he said With increases averaging 11 percent for 197980 pay increases for University System employees will have totaled an average of right at 30 percentalmost a third in the last three years he added Pay increases averaged 9lA percent in

Increases Continued from Page 13
197778 10 percent in 197879
If the Board were to approve 12 percent it would be creating a raise that doesnt exist he said The Legislature at best has voted our employees an 11 percent increase he added
Regent Friedman said that in discussions as the budget process moved along the Board anticipated early on that the pay raises would be 7 percent then that they would be 9 percent or 92 percent He added that he did not believe the Board or the University System employees had counted on pay raises averaging 12 percent for 197980
Regent Jones said that his stand in favor of pay increases averaging 12 percent was based primarily on concern about guaranteeing that University System employees receive treatment equal to that of Merit System state employees and public school teachers
If it had been left up to me the 9 percent raise would have been satisfactory he said Certainly an 11 percent raise would be satisfactory The thing that concerns me the most is the differentiation in treatment between our people and the other teachers of this state and other state employees He said he felt that pay raises averaging 12 percent were intended in the General Appropriations Bill and will be required to ensure parity for University System employees with Merit System state employees and public school teachers for the
197980 fiscal year
Authorization of pay raises averaging 11 percent instead of 12 percent authorized though not fully funded for University System employees draws a line in financial matters between System employees and Merit System state employees and public school teachers Regent Jones continued
The budgets of University System institutions should be able to absorb the funding of a portion of the position index increment of the authorized pay raises he said
Vice Chancellor for Fiscal AffairsTreasurer Shealy E McCoy said that approximately 26 million would be needed to fund the 1 percent increment of pay increases that the Board was considering
Chancellor Simpson told the Board that discussions with the Office of Planning and Budget and the General Assembly have continued without acceptance of the proposition of full funding with state appropriation of the 2V2 percent position index increase increment I dont know that we can make a hundred percent case that we have to have 214 percent money state appropriation to fund a 2 percent increase he added I think there is a point there at which we would be hard put to make that case
A point of argument against 100 percent state appropriation for position index increase funding is the availability for this purpose of some University Systembudget funds from personnel turnover the Chancellor said This turnover he explained allows hiring of some new employees for positions at salaries below those budgeted for senior people vacating those positions and it does provide some funds for use for partial funding of the position index increase increment
Governor Busbee recommended state appropriation funding for a 2 percent position index increase for the 197980 fiscal
year but that was reduced to 4 percent by the General Assembly the Chancellor said We thought well of the Governors 2 percent on the ground that that would be a reasonable propositionthat we could make it that way he continued
The difference between the 2 percent recommended by the Governor and the 24 percent sought by the Board of Regents for the position index approximately 13 millioncould have been provided from University System budgets Mr McCoy said
Regent Friedman said he felt that the cushion of funds that would have been available for partial funding of the position index increase is needed for defraying operating costs
We are always running short and still are in our current budget on operating funds he said It is in the area of operations that as I understand it we are really hurting the most The state appropriation for 197980 includes some increases for operating costs but not as much as the Board of Regents requested to meet needs he said
Reconsiderations
There is in effect a 12 percent pay raise in the Appropriations Bill the Chancellor told the Board following the vote approving the pay increases averaging 11 percent That is an expression in concrete terms That is I think the expectation on the part of the people who passed the bill and the expectation on the part of our people
Regent Plunkett observed that he interpreted the Chancellors statement on the intent of the General Appropriations Bill as a request for reconsideration of the Boards action on the pay increases
Regent Jones said he interpreted the statement the same way and that he also would request reconsideration of the action He made a motion to reconsider the authorization for the pay increases averaging 11 percent That motion was defeated 84
Regent Jones then made a motion to reconsider the Boards earlier authorization for student fee increases of 5 percent for matriculation and 10 percent for nonresident tuition That motion was defeated 103
Financial Aid to Students
The number of financial aid awards made to students at University System institutions in the 197778 fiscal year and also the amount of these awards increased from the previous year according to a consolidated report prepared in the Board of Regents office
The number of awards was 78073 in 197778 up 3660 or 49 percent from the previous year The amount of the awards was 56834736 in 197778 up 1113498 or 20 percent from the previous year
These awards were made through financial aid offices of the University System institutions They consisted of grants loans scholarships and student employment workstudy programs

The System Summary

DATA ON TENURE CITED IN REPORT TO REGENTS
Close to half of the fulltime instructional faculty members in the University System and more than 92 percent of the full professorsare tenured according to a report made to the Board of Regents at the May 89 meeting
The report was distributed by Jerry M Williamson vice chancellor for academic development in connection with a recommendation for Board authorization for granting tenure to 300 faculty members to become effective in the 197980 fiscal year
The report reflected the tenure situation for fulltime instructional faculty members as of June 30 1978 It indicated
2882 faculty members in all ranks at all institutions had tenure status That number was 476 percent of the 6056 fulltime instructional faculty members
The numbers and the percentages of tenured faculty members in all professorial ranks by classifications of institutions were
UNIVERSITIES 1647 or 524 percent of 3139
SENIOR COLLEGES 1020 or 487 percent of 2095
JUNIOR COLLEGES 215 or 262 percent of 822
The numbers and the percentages of tenured faculty members by professorial ranks were
PROFESSOR all institutions 1145 or 929 percent of 1233 universities 767 or 916 percent of 837 senior colleges 343 or 958 percent of 358 junior colleges 35 or 921 percent of 38
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR all institutions 1359 or 827 percent of 1643 universities 781 or 824 percent of 948 senior colleges 469 or 842 percent of 557 junior colleges 109 or 79 percent of 138
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR all institutions 378 or 164 percent of 2301 universities 99 or 95 percent of 1038 senior colleges 208 or 237 percent of 876 junior colleges 71 or 183 percent of 387
Instructors are not eligible for tenure under Board of Regents policy
The report also indicated that tenure has been authorized by the Board of Regents for 1349 faculty members during the last four years 412 in April 1976 339 in May 1977 298 in May 1978 and 300 in May 1979
The report further indicated that of the 300 faculty members on the list approved by the Board in May 1979 the mean age was 403 and the median age was 39 The mean age ranged from 340 to 468 the median age ranged from 34 to 49
Uniform Rate Established
A uniform rate 75 per fivehour course for all offcampus graduate Education courses of University System institutions was approved by the Board of Regents at the April meeting The action was recommended in a staffprepared agenda item
The previous rates for offcampus graduate Education courses were 100 for universitylevel institutions 75 for seniorlevel institutions
Insurance Continued from Front Cover
1890 per month to 2065 per month employee contribution from 810 per month to 885 per month
Employee With Dependents University System contribution from 4620 per month to 5040 per month employee contribution from 1980 per month to 2160 per month
Medicare Supplement University System contribution from 753 per month to 823 per month employee contribution from 322 per month to 352 per month
The increases in University System contributions for employees at the three institutions where health insurance coverage is provided through plans outside the University System Employee Health Benefit Plan will be
Employee Only from 1890 per month to 2065 per month
Employee With Dependents from 4620 per month to 5040 per month
The Board stipulated in authorizing the increases that in no event shall the employer University System contribution exceed 70 percent of the total cost of health insurance for any employee
The basic plan of distribution of the cost of health insurance under the University System Employee Health Benefit Plan provides for the University System to pay 70 percent of the cost and for the employee to pay 30 percent of the cost That plan has been in effect since July 1 1978 and will continue under the increased contributions
The 1979 session of the General Assembly provided funds for a nine percent increase in the University System contributions to employees health insurance plans All indications are that a nine percent increase will not be sufficient for the entire 197980 fiscal year period a staffprepared agenda item for the May 89 meeting indicated If claims experience begins to escalate rapidly it may be necessary to request additional support from the 1980 Legislature in its supplemental appropriation for the 197980 fiscal year
Setting forth the factors on which the recommendation for the increases in the contributions to the University System Employee Health Benefit Plan was based the agenda item indicated
In keeping with our intent the cost of health insurance premiums is to be supported to the extent of 70 percent from institutional University System funds and 30 percent from contributions by the covered individual Thus when the Legislature authorized an increase in its funding level by nine percent it appeared essential to increase the employee contribution by a like amount
On April 29 1979 the result of federal legislation became effective dictating that pregnancy be treated as any other temporary disability insofar as employmentrelated group health insurance plans are concerned The cost of this change will be substantial It has been estimated to cost approximately 150 to 200 per month per family unit
Experience in the Board of Regents University System Employee Health Benefit Plan shows an increase in the 12month average of claims experience of approximately 11 percent Contributions to the Plan have exceeded claims in 10 of the last 12 months for the period ending February 28 1979 but the gap is gradually being eliminated making an increase in the contribution rate necessary

Fee Policy Revised
Revision of a Board of Regents policy pertaining to waiver of nonresident tuition fees for certain graduate students attending certain University System universities was approved by the Board of Regents at the June 2627 meeting
The revision of the policy provides for Georgia State University to be included in the category of institutions eligible for this waiver procedure
The text of the newly revised policy Paragraph J4 Subparagraph 1 is
7 For Graduate Students The University of Georgia the Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University are authorized to waive nonresident fees for a limited number of graduate students each year with the understanding that the number of students at each of these institutions to whom such waivers of fees are granted must not exceed 40 in any one year These institutions shall exercise the greatest care in selecting students who are to receive waivers of nonresident fees Such nonresident graduate students shall pay fees required of residents of Georgia

STATEMENTS ON BOARD ACTION ON CHANCELLOR
Statements by Board of Regents Chairman Milton Jones and former Chancellor George L Simpson Jr pertaining to the June 4 Board of Regents action removing Dr Simpson as chancellor were made public immediately following the Board action
CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
The full text of the statement of Chairman Milton Jones
The University System is now 32 institutions in depth ranging from multifaceted universities through fouryear colleges to twoyear colleges together with highly developed extension public service and vocationaltechnical operations
It can readily be seen that in academic offerings plant operations service and extension activities financing staff and all its other aspects the University System is much more complex today than it was in an earlier time
As the System emerges from a period of unprecedented growth and development into a period of stability and increasing emphasis on developing greater quality in educational offerings at all levels we are mindful of the significant contributions made by the Chancellor together with many others both within and without the System in reaching our present position
The Board of Regents is established by the Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia as the governing body of the University System of Georgia In carrying out its official duties and responsibilities it necessarily appoints various officers and employees to execute its policies and decisions Some of these officials serve at the pleasure of the Board This is true of the position of Chancellor of the University System The Board has come to the conclusion that it desires to make a change in the office of Chancellor and by the motion it has adopted today it has done so
The matter was considered in executive session upon advice of the Attorney Generals office and is in accordance with standing Board policy in connection with the holding of executive sessions in personnel matters We have been further advised by our counsel in the Attorney Generals office that since any occupant of the office of Chancellor holds the office solely at the pleasure of the Board of Regents no reason should be advanced for the decision and upon advice of such counsel no reason will be given by the Board of Regents
The people of Georgia have consistently supported education and we believe they have a right to be proud
of the University System Great strides have been made in higher education in the past fifteen years This has been accomplished through the combined efforts and commitment of all elements within the University System working in close harmony with the Governor and the Legislature
There are still great tasks and great opportunities facing us now and in the future That which is not yet within our grasp is certainly not beyond our reach We herewith enjoin all constituencies within the University System and all those who support higher education to join with us in our efforts
FORMER CHANCELLORS STATEMENT
The full text of the statement of former Chancellor George L Simpson Jr
I want to pay my respects to all of the people of Georgia who have supported the University System during my time as Chancellor The University System is worthy of the support of all Georgians It is my earnest wish that this support continue
The last decade and a half has been a time of unprecedented change and difficulty in higher education The full weight has fallen hard on the various campuses The presidents of the University System with whom I have worked most directly have performed with courage and distinction The State is in their debt as am I
The faculties of the institutions of the University System teach the students The future lies largely in their hands They have set a splendid course raising the level of quality under conditions of change and difficulty They have my gratitude and best wishes
In a time of almost overwhelming growth the nonacademic employees of the System have performed important jobs with hard work and long hours Though often unheralded their work has been necessary for the carrying out of the academic function
The progress of recent years could not have been made without the strong support of the Board of Regents over this time and I wish to acknowledge this fact I support the concept of a strong Board of Regents as necessary to the advance of the University System
It remains to express my high regard and affection for the members of the Central Office staff who have performed so well and with such sympathetic understanding
I do not agree with the action of the Board of Regents taken today But the matter has been debated and is settled It is time to move on I wish good luck to all concerned

Implementation of New Rule of Regents Test Deferred
The implementation of a new stricter requirement for the Regents Test in reading comprehension and essay writing for all University System students has been deferred for further study and possible modification
The requirement that was set aside from July 1 1979 to January 1 1980 has become widely known as the 105Hour Rule It was designed to prohibit a student from taking degreecredit courses beyond a specified point without passing the Regents Test
The 105Hour Rule applies both to students already in the University System and to students who transfer into the System as juniors or seniors Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford said Therefore the deferral of the implementation of the Rule applies equally to all students he also said In such application the deferred portion of the requirements for the Regents Test stipulates that
A student already enrolled in a University System institution will be required to pass the Regents Test before being classified as a junioryear student A student who has not passed the Test by the time he or she has earned 105 quartercredit hours exclusive of physical education activity courses and ROTC will be limited to taking only remedial or review courses in English reading and writing until he or she passes the Test
A student who transfers into a University System institution from outside the System in the classification of junior or senior and who has not passed the Regents Test must take the Test in the first quarter of his or her attendance Such a student who fails the Test will be limited to taking only remedial or review courses in English reading and writing until he or she passes the Test
New requirements for the Regents Test including the 105Hour Rule were adopted by the Board of Regents in November 1978 to become effective on July 1 1979 On July 3 Dr Crawford who became acting chancellor on June 15 sent a letter to members of the Board of Regents requesting deferral until January 1 1980 of the 105Hour Rule portion of these requirements He asked for and received the Regents affirmative vote by mail on his request
Passing of the Regents Test has been since 1972 by policy of the Board of Regents a requirement for graduation from any University System institution A student has been allowed and by deferral of implementation of the 105Hour Rule will continue to be allowed until next January 1to take collegecredit courses without having passed the Regents Test all the way to his or her scheduled graduation
The other revisions in Regents Test requirements as adopted by the Board of Regents in November to become effective on July 1 provide that
A student will be permitted to take the Regents Test after completing the required basic core English courses without specification of number of quartercredit hours of courses completed
A student will be required to take the Test no later than the quarter after completing 45 quartercredit hours of courses instead of as previously no later than the quarter after completing 75 quartercredit hours of courses
I have heard no persuasive arguments against the concept
of the Rule itself Dr Crawford wrote to the Regents In fact most of those with whom I have discussed the matter think the Rule is a good one The main concern is related to the expected impact of immediate implementation
The Executive Committee of the University System Administrative Committee on Academic Affairs recommended deferral of implementation of the Rule and the University System Student Advisory Council also requested deferral of the implementation of the Rule and some changes in the policy itself the Acting Chancellor explained
Dr Crawford emphasized that he requested the deferral to provide additional time for study of the Rule to recommend needed changes in the implementation such as any grandfathering provisions to give notification of the revised policy through catalogs of institutions and to make a full report to the Board of Regents He indicated that the Rule will be studied by presidents and other appropriate personnel of institutions by appropriate University System committees and by the staff of the Board of Regents
A committee of five presidents of University System institutions appointed by thenChancellor George L Simpson Jr recommended the November adoption by the Board of Regents of the new requirements for the Regents Test The presidents making up the membership of the committee were Noah Langdale Jr Georgia State University chairman B R Tilley Albany Junior College Louis C Alderman Middle Georgia College Cleveland W Pettigrew Fort Valley State College and Maurice K Townsend West Georgia College

The System Summary
EmployeeInsurance Actions Taken by Regents at Meeting
Four actions pertaining to insurance for employees of the University System of Georgia were taken by the Board of Regents at the July 31August 1 meeting
Paragraph 132 of the Policies of the Board of Regents pertaining to group insurance was revised
A resolution calling for development of a single unified plan for state appropriationsupported group life and health insurance was adopted
A group life insurance contract was amended
Implementation of higher limits of supplemental group life insurance previously authorized by the Board was deferred
PARAGRAPH OF POLICY ON GROUP INSURANCE
The existing Paragraph 132 of the published Policies of the Board of Regents pertaining to group insurance for University System employees was deleted in its entirety and a new Paragraph 132 of the published Policies also pertaining to group insurance for System employees was adopted
Appropriate amendments to the Classified Personnel Policy of the Board of Regents were also authorized to be made and distributed as revisions to Volume 3 Business Procedures Manual
Through an agenda item the Regents were told
The existing Paragraph 132 is substantially out of date The major change was made in 1973 The policy manual was not updated at that time nor have subsequent actions been recorded in the published manual
In addition it has long been established that group life and health benefits follow career employees into retirement and that these benefits may under certain conditions and with certain modifications in some cases be continued for the dependents of deceased active employees or retired employees This fact is not recorded in any policy statement of the Board of Regents
The continuation of benefits for retired employees is provided by law for the Merit System
The absence of a stated policy by the Board of Regents for its employees has resulted in varying interpretations by the University System institutions A simple statement of policy is recommended
Text of Newly Adopted Paragraph
The text of the newly adopted Paragraph 132 is
GROUP LIFE INSURANCE
Group life insurance with accidental death and dismemberment coverage shall be made available to regular employees of the University System who work onehalf time or more The University System as employer shall pay the premium on the first 15000 of such insurance for which an employee is eligible under a published schedule based on the annual earnings of the employee The schedule may be revised from time to time by the Board This amount of insurance is designated as basic life insurance and the maximum premium therefor shall be established by the Board In addition group life insurance may be offered to these same employees with no employer participation in the premiums Such additional insurance is designated as supplemental life insurance Group life insurance for dependents of
these employees shall be made available to them in amounts which shall be established from time to time by the Board There shall be no employer contribution to dependent life insurance premiums
GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE
Hospitalization surgical medical and major medical benefits shall be made available to regular employees of the University System working onehalf time or more This benefit shall also be made available to the dependents of the same employees The University System shall pay that portion of the cost of such insurance as shall be designated from time to time by the Board The portion shall be stated in terms of a dollar amount per employee per month
RETIRED EMPLOYEES
It shall be the policy of the Board to permit retiring career employees of the University System to continue as members of the group life and health insurance programs To this end employees who retire under the criteria established by the Teachers Retirement System and who have a least 10 years of service with the University System even though they may not be members of the Teachers Retirement System shall remain eligible for employee and dependent group health and life insurance benefits The University System shall continue to pay its portion of the cost of such group insurance for retired career employees Nothing in this statement of policy shall be interpreted to reduce the benefit committed to existing career employees
DEPENDENTS OF DECEASED EMPLOYEES OR DECEASED RETIRED EMPLOYEES
The dependents of an employee who dies while in active service or the dependents of a retired employee either of whom was eligible for retirement under the criteria established by the Teachers Retirement System and who has at least ten years of service with the University System even though he or she may not be a member of the Teachers Retirement System may remain in the group for life and health care insurance purposes with University System participation in the cost
The dependents of other employees or retired employees who are in the group for life and health insurance purposes may remain in the group for a period of no more than 24 consecutive months after the death of the employee with full University System participation in the cost The inclusion in the group may continue after the 24month period but University System participation in the cost shall cease
In no event shall the dependents of the deceased continue in the group after the death or remarriage of the surviving spouse
SINGLE UNIFIED PLAN
A resolution was adopted to direct the Boards staff to work to accomplish the objective of a single plan of group life and health insurance for University System employees before the end of the next two years
The text of this resolution is
Resolved that the Board of Regents of the University System declare its intention to apply the state appropriation it receives in support of group life and health insurance to a single unified plan for such insurance To this end it directs the chancellor and his staff to develop a plan which will be acceptable to all segments of the University System organization and to accomplish the objective of a single plan no later than July 1 1981
Through an agenda item the Regents were told
Currently three units of the University System the University of Georgia the Medical College of Georgia and Augusta Collegemaintain life and health insurance plans separate from the single group composed of the remainder of the units and separate from each other
While in the cases of the University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia there are no real economies of

scale in joining with a larger group for insurance purposes the daytoday administration of separate plans encourages minor differences in interpretation of benefits and in some cases differences in basic benefits The support provided by the Board of Regents to employee fringe benefits therefore supports a different level of benefits for its employees who are associated with some institutions from that provided at other institutions This has caused no real problems but misunderstandings have developed The structure is such that the misunderstandings will eventually lead to serious problems
AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT
An amendment to the Board of Regents group life insurance contract with the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States for the benefit of employees of the University System was approved
The amendment is to become effective on July 31 1979 It provides that the combined total of basic and supplemental life insurance coverage to which an employee of the University System is entitled will be reduced by 35 percent upon attainment of age 67 and will be reduced further to 50 percent upon attainment of age 70 It further provides that in no event shall the reduction be to a point less than the basic amount of life insurance to which the employee is entitled
The Board of Regents contract with Equitable prior to the amendment provided for a 50 percent reduction in the amount of life insurance coverage at age 67 according to an agenda item reviewed by the Regents The Age Discrimination in Employment Act permits no greater reduction than 35 percent in life insurance coverage for employees because of age
but it permits unlimited reduction upon retirement the agenda item indicated The establishment of the reduction to 50 percent in life insurance coverage at age 70 instead of at age 67 was recommended because the mandatory retirement age for employees in the University System was recently changed to 70 from 67 the agenda item further indicated
DEFERRAL OF HIGHER LIMITS OF GROUP LIFE INSURANCE
The implementation of higher limits of supplemental group life insurance available to University System employees was deferred until September 1 1980
The higher limits were authorized by the Board of Regents in March 1979 to become effective on September 1 1979 The additional supplemental coverage was authorized to be entirely elective by the individual employee according to the recommendation for the authorizing action
Through an agenda item for the Boards July 31August 1 meeting recommending the deferral the Regents were told
There are a number of questions regarding the effects of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ADEA on the various plans Regulations governing the effect of ADEA on group life insurance plans were published on May 25 1979 Interpretation of these regulations is now being developed by the insurance industry These regulations will have some drastic effects on the various group life insurance plans These facts coupled with the realization that all such plans should eventually be combined into a single plan for the University System lead to the conclusion that the implementation date for the previously authorized higher limits of supplemental group life insurance available to University System employees should be deferred for one year
Degree Changed to Major Under Another Degree Program
Change in an academic program at Georgia Southern College from a degree program to a major under another degree program was approved by the Board of Regents at the July 31August 1 meeting
Consolidation of two departments at Albany State College was also approved at the same meeting
Change in Academic Program
Georgia Southern College was given approval to discontinue the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration degree program and to offer a major in office administration under the institutions existing Bachelor of Business Administration degree program effective beginning on August 2 1979
The Regents were informed through agenda material
At the present time Office Administration has the same requirements as the other majors under the Bachelor of Business Administration degree There is currently no difference in the core requirements or business core between the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration and the Bachelor of Business Administration
The current label Bachelor of Science in Office Administration implies that the degree is only a secretarial program In reality it is a broadbased business degree with an emphasis in office administration
The Bachelor of Business Administration degree will provide more job opportunities for graduates
By giving proper recognition to the fact that the office administration program is a broadbased business degree student recruitment should be enhanced
The 1979 winter quarter enrollment in the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration degree program was 61 majors
No additional costs or changes in the Colleges desegregation and affirmative action plans will be incurred by the changing of this degree title
Consolidation of Departments
Albany State College received authorization to consolidate the Departments of Elementary Education and Secondary Education into a single department to be named the Department of Education effective beginning on August 2 1979
Albany State College President Charles L Hayes indicated that consolidation of the Departments would improve the administrative efficiency of the teacher education programs at Albany State the Regents were told through agenda material

Budget Continued from Front Cover
are behind the nations average 157 percent in junior colleges 132 percent in senior colleges 27 percent in universities
Salary increases are badly needed to reward merit for faculty members administrators and staff members Dr Crawford continued To build fine institutions we need to retain those who are most productive and we can do so only if we can reward their achievements The most direct and the most effective reward is that which increases the paycheck
Salary increases are also needed to fight inflation With inflation running about 10 percent per year an average raise of 10 percent will result in no average gain in standard of living
In view of the eroding effect of inflation an argument could be made for a salary increase greater than 10 percent However the economic forecasts upon which Governor Busbee relies in establishing his fiscal policy are such that there is little or no hope of getting more than 10 percent for the
198081 fiscal year and to ask for more might be regarded as being irresponsible
Fringe Benefits
The recommendation on fringe benefits for University System employees is that changes be sought in three areas of retirement benefits These recommended changes are increase of funding of the retirementbenefits multiplier to 200 percent from 188 percent computation of retirement benefits on the average of the highest consecutive three years of salary rather than on the present average of the highest consecutive five years of salary reduction of the period required for vesting to five years from the present 10 years
Operating Expenses
The recommendation for operating expenses is that the
operating expenses multiplier in the University System Formula for requesting state appropriations be increased to 3924 from 2980 for each fulltime academic position
The operating expenses multiplier has been increased from year to year to recognize the fact of inflation but the increases have not been adequate to keep up with the increases in the Higher Education Price Index Dr Crawford said
The operating expenses multiplier in the University System Formula would have been 3647 for each fulltime academic position in the 197980 fiscal year instead of 2980 if it had been increased at the same rate as that of the Higher Education Price Index Dr Crawford said
Special Projects
The recommendation on special projects provides for funding of a number of programs Included are educational and capital outlay programs for the University Systems desegregation plan
Dr Crawfords recommendations were included in a report presented to the Board of Regents at the Boards July 31August 1 meeting This report sets forth some detailed recommendations for the approach the Chancellors Office should take in its negotiations with the Office of Planning and Budget relative to the 198081 fiscal year budget for the University System Dr Crawford indicated It is concerned only with requests for increases in the total budget Dr Crawford also said of the report It does not address itself to increases in internal income such as might be generated from increases in student fees from indirect cost recoveries or from other sources
The figures set forth in the report are subject to change before the University System budget request for the 198081 fiscal year is submitted to the State Office of Planning and Budget
The Systems 197980 budget is 647043476

Name changes in two academic units at University System institutions to reflect the term Legal Studies in both cases were authorized by the Board of Regents at the September 1112 meeting
Georgia State University was given approval to change the name of a designated subdivision within the Department of Insurance from Business Law to Legal Studies
The change of the name of the subdivision to Legal Studies according to Georgia State University President Noah Langdale Jr will more accurately reflect the nature of instruction involved the Regents were told through an agenda item
The agenda item also indicated
The term business law is restrictive in the sense that it implies a study of legal matters that is restricted to the legal environment for business The University faculty in the discipline are offering more general service courses to other schools and departments Introductory courses are designed to provide the student with knowledge of the overall functioning of legal institutions legal processes and basic law Additional courses are designed for more detailed study of law as it relates to education government health liberal arts urban life accounting and finance Business law therefore is only one area of legal studies
Legal studies as used in the request for the renaming of the departmental subdivision to reflect this term has no
involvement in professional legal education or the study of law
Appropriate changes in designations of courses and in titles of faculty members will be made to reflect the renaming of the departmental subdivision
The University of Georgia was given approval to change the name of the Department of Real Estate and Urban Development to the Department of Real Estate and Legal Studies
The change was requested by University of Georgia President Fred C Davison to accommodate the transfer of four faculty members in business law from the School of Accounting to the Department of Real Estate and Urban Development Legal Studies the Regents were told through an agenda item

The designation of legal studies rather than business law has been adopted by a number of institutions including the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce of the University of Pennsylvania

THE BOARD AND THE CHANCELLOR
In an article beginning on Page 3 Board of Regents Chairman Erwin A Friedman discusses the search for a new Chancellor for the University System Some of the principal matters dealt with in the article are 1 the kind of Chancellor the Board of Regents is likely to appoint and 2 the anticipated relationship between the Board and the new Chancellor
Some excerpts from the Chairmans article
I can say with certainty in the support of the entire Board of Regents that the Board wants the Chancellor to be a strong chief executive officer
It is too simple to say of course that the Board establishes policy and the Chancellor executes it Their relationship is considerably deeper and more subtle than this
Policy is produced from the distillation of the ideas demands efforts and work of many forces and in that process the Chancellor is both a force in his own right and a filter of all the other forces Thus the operative words in the establishment of policy by the Board are the words fully informed and the operative word in the relationship between the Board and its Chancellor is the word trust Not merely trust in the sense of honesty but trust in the sense that each is willing to accord the other both the freedom and the responsibility to do his job
Eligibility for Faculty Tenure Extended to Aliens by Policy
Actions making aliens eligible to attain tenure as faculty members in the University System of Georgia were taken by the Board of Regents at the October 910 meeting
The actions were voted as amendments to the Board of Regents Tenure Policies
A portion of Paragraph 3 of Subsection IV entitled Tenure under Section 111 was revised
The newly approved wording is
Only assistant professors associate professors and professors who are normally employed full time as defined by Regents
Continued on Page 2
Retirement Continued from Front Cover
Association of Educators and the associate executive secretary of the Georgia Association of Educators serve as ex officio members Of the remaining six members two are selected by the Georgia Association of Educators one to be a financial expert is selected by the other members of the Board one is selected by the Retired Teachers Organization an affiliate of the Georgia Association of Educators one is appointed by the Governor and is currently a public school superintendent and one is appointed by the Board of Regents
The Board of Regents seeks to change the membership of the Board of Trustees of the Teachers Retirement System to represent more properly the interests of the University System employees in the administration of the Teachers Retirement System
The action sought in the resolution was suggested by the University System Fringe Benefits Committee
Tenure Continued from Front Cover
Policies by an institution are eligible for tenure Faculty members with adjunct appointments shall not acquire tenure
The superseded wording was
Only assistant professors associate professors and professors who are normally employed full time as defined by Regents Policies by an institution are eligible for tenure Faculty members with adjunct appointments and aliens shall not acquire tenure
A portion of Paragraph 5 of Subsection IV entitled Tenure under Section 111 was deleted
The text of the deleted portion was
Aliens are excepted from these maximum time regulations but an alien who would otherwise have become eligible for tenure had he I she been a citizen may be awarded tenure upon attainment of citizenship
The maximum time regulations referred to are the maximum periods of time that may be served by faculty members at the various academic ranks without the award of tenure These maximum time regulations are stated in a portion of Paragraph 5 Subsection IV Section 111 that was left intact by the Board of Regents actions at the October 910 meeting

The System Summary
Expected from Search for Chancellor
A DIFFERENT SORT OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE
EDITORS NOTE The System Summary requested Board of Regents Chairman Erwin A Friedman to summarize his views on the search for a new chancellor for the University System of Georgia with special emphasis on 1 the kind of chancellor the Board is likely to appoint and 2 the anticipated relationship between the Board and the new chancellor This article provided in response to the Summary request is an adaptation of a statement Mr Friedman made to the Search and Screen Committee which he appointed by authority of the Board of Regents to help the Board in the selection of a new chancellor
The 18member Search and Screen Committee of which President Joseph M Pettit of the Georgia Institute of Technology is chairman has begun its work The Committee is scheduled to make its final report including a list of 48 unranked acceptable candidates to the Board of Regents by February 1980 in accordance with a timetable established by the Board
The final report will be made to the Board after the Search and Screen Committee completes its work of searching for candidates screening credentials of candidates and interviewing especially promising candidates
The Board of Regents according to its timetable is scheduled to appoint a chancellor within 60 days after receiving the final report of the Search and Screen Committee
Vernon Crawford is serving as acting chancellor on leave from the position of vice president for academic affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology He was appointed acting chancellor by the Board of Regents on June 15 1979 to serve during the search for a new chancellor
By Erwin A Friedman
Chairman Board of Regents
Historically speaking both the Board of Regents and the office of Chancellor are young The Board was created in 1931 as a statutory body and achieved constitutional status in 1943
The Boards legal mandate is stated in the broadest of terms There shall be a Board of Regents of the University System Georgia and the government control and management of ie University System of Georgia and all of its institutions in lid System shall be vested in said Board of Regents The office of Chancellor is neither of statutory nor constitional origin The Chancellor the chief executive officer of ie Board of Regents and chief administrative officer of the niversity System is a creature of the Board and serves at e Boards pleasure His duties responsibilities and authority e all derived from policies of the Board
Since the creation of the University System 48 years ago the stem has had six Chancellors and two Acting Chancellors iree men served a total of 42 of those 48 years
None of those who previously served in the position of lancellor was selected by anything which resembles the pross in which the Search and Screen Committee for the selecn of the next Chancellor is engaged can state with certainty in the support of the entire Board
of Regents that the Board wants the Chancellor to be a strong chief executive officer
It is essential that in the search process the roles of the Board and the Chancellor and the interaction of the Board and the Chancellor with the constituencies they serve be clearly understood
The roles and relationship of the Board of Regents and the Chancellor may best be understood by asking and responding to several questions
Who are the Board of Regents and the Chancellor
Where do the Board of Regents and the Chancellor come from
What are the attributes the Board of Regents and the Chancellor should bring to their jobs
The Board of Regents represents diversity diversity of geography occupation experience age education race sex social and ethnic background and probably much more
The Board is essentially a group of generalists who should bring to their job the widest possible perspective of higher education and the myriad of interests it must serve This perspective must range from the point of view of each individual student and his hopes and aspirations to the needs of the State as a whole to produce and sustain useful and productive citizens as well as to the more philosophical concerns of advancing the state of mans knowledge and his understanding and appreciation of himself and his relationship with his fellow men and the entire cosmos
The Board must have on it people who can operate without special bias or interest in any one segment of the educational spectrum They must be able to reconcile competing priorities with available resources in a fair and rational way
The Regents are helped in the discharge of their responsibilities by the favorable structure of the Board The constitutional status of the Board one of the most important elements of this structure provides special help for resisting undue political influence Staggered appointments to the Board ensure continuity of membership and the sevenyear terms are long enough to provide Board members with insulation against the shifting winds of public opinion
In the execution of its constitutional responsibility the Board must construct clear and clearly understandable basic educational policies for higher education This it must do out of its own diversity of background and experience its own generalist perspective out of the demands of individual citizens and groups of citizens and the needs of our State working with the resources available to it
The Board does not work alone and the person with whom the Board works most closely is the Chancellor
The Design document entitled Design of the Search and Selection Process for the Chancellor of the University System of Georgia adopted by the Board of Regents last June gives a good description of who the Chancellor is and where he must come from and I think it is an excellent blueprint for the role of the Chancellor and his relationship with the Board Some of what is said in that document is not new it comes

A Different Sort Continued from Page 3
straight out of longstanding Board of Regents policies
In my opinion the Design document has its priorities on straight The first and foremost requirement is that the Chancellor must come from the academic community The search process itself reflects the primacy of this requirement
The Design document under a Qualifications heading provides
The Chancellor must meet the following minimum qualifications or must demonstrate qualifications approximately equal to those listed
An earned doctorate in a recognized academic discipline
At least three years as a faculty member at a college or university
Sufficient accomplishments as a scholar to command the respect of the academic community
Broadbased experience as an administrator of higher education sufficient to meet one of the following criteria a two years in a position equivalent to a university presidency or a university system chancellorship b five years as a university vice president or similar line position
Several alternatives for the process of selecting a new permanent Chancellor were considered by the Board of Regents before the present process was chosen
A committee composed entirely of Regents or on which they predominated prevailed initially This concept was altered to add a broad spectrum of representation from the academic community as well as a number of other public and political constituencies Through further discussion the concept was gradually altered until it came to where it is now an 18member Committee made up of 16 members from University System institutions senior administrators faculty members and studentsand two citizens from the stateatlarge
The present structure was eventually selected because the Board of Regents felt that the stamp of the new Chancellor would reflect the stamp of the Search and Screen Committee that the image of this Committee would to a large degree control the type of individual who would be attracted to the position
We wanted that image to reflect the concepts of collegiality and shared governance It is a new direction for the Board of Regents and the University System I believe it will produce a different sort of chief executive and I think this is reflected in that section of the Design document that speaks to the abilities the System is seeking in its new Chancellor
The Chancellor must be able to conceive and articulate needs and goals within the University System to devise strategies to meet these needs and goals and to mobilize and direct the forces required to translate the strategies into effective actions even in the face of strong opposition ie the Chancellor must be a leader and a doer
The Chancellor must be an effective communicator and must recognize the importance of sharing information with and seeking information from the members of the Board of Regents members of the Chancellors staff and administrators faculty members and students of System institutions
The Chancellor must be able to nurture a feeling of collegiality of shared inquiry of shared responsibility and of
collective accomplishment among the personnel of System institutions
The Chancellor must possess the intellectual emotiona and ethical qualities which will command the respect of thos with whom he or she interacts and the ability to analyz critically and respond appropriately to suggestions criticisms complaints and pressures from all those who are affected by or who seek to affect the decisions of the Chancellor
I think it is important to recognize that for the first time the Board has in a very formal way through the Design 1 document declared in advance the primary qualities it seeks in the individual who is to serve as Chancellor as well as the role and scope of the position itself and its interrelationship with all other elements of the University System community This blueprint is the most important framework for the Search and Screen Committee
The Design document as it was ultimately adopted by the Board of Regents was the work of Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford Dr Crawford is an intelligent articulate and competent administrator He has moved with great competence precision and a feeling for people in an extremely difficult role The University System is greatly indebted to him
Understanding who the Board and the Chancellor are and where they come from makes it easier I think to understand their respective roles and how they must interact with each other
It is too simple to say of course that the Board establishes policy and the Chancellor executes it Their relationship is considerably deeper and more subtle than this
Policy is produced from the distillation of the ideas demands efforts and work of many forces and in that process the Chancellor is both a force in his own right and a filter of all the other forces Thus the operative words in the establishment of policy by the Board are the words fully informed and the operative word in the relationship between the Board and its Chancellor is the word trust Not merely trust in the sense of honesty but trust in the sense that each is willing to accord the other both the freedom and the responsibility to do his job
The present status and condition of the University System is a significant framework for the Search and Screen Committee for this will be the principal yardstick by which those in whom we are interested will measure their interest in us
Our System along with most others in the United States has emerged from a 15year period of unprecedented growth in enrollment academic offerings and physical plant into a period of stability assessment of quality and fiscal accountability The emergence of new educational priorities in the next decade will provide their own challenges opportunities and excitement
The University System of Georgia is a dynamic System and I believe we will attract educators of the highest quality to the position of Chancellor A number of factors are at work in our favor
The constitutionally protected structure of our System is almost unique in the United States and it affords great independence to both the Board and the Chancellor in developing and executing educational policies
Our centralized organizational structure removes most of

The System Summary
the political infighting among individual institutions that characterizes many other systems and invests the Chancellors office with tremendous authority The Chancellor of the University System of Georgia has indeed a platform from which he can speak for all of public higher education in our State
In my opinion the job of Chancellor is one of the two or three most influential public positions in this State and the opportunities it presents to impact significantly on higher education will undoubtedly be attractive to educational leaders throughout the United States
There continues to be a favorable climate of support for higher education in Georgia This support comes from the Governor the Legislature and the public in general I am confident that a new Chancellor can look forward to the further enhancement of this support
Most importantly I perceive that the University System is open to new ideas to innovation and experimentation
The new Chancellor will have the opportunity to direct the State in providing leadership to the entire South in the continuing process of desegregating higher education There will be many problems associated with this process but our responsibility is clear and the ultimate benefit to all of the
people of Georgia from our success will be enormous
One final note There are certain hazards in selecting a replacement for a public office One of the hazards is the temptation to choose someone because of the qualities which were at least perceived to be lacking in his or her predecessor or to correct what may have been considered problem areas in a previous relationship I know that the Search and Screen Committee as well as the Board of Regents will avoid that pitfall
For lack of a more articulate expression I can only say We must seek a whole persona man or a woman who commands our support for what he or she is rather than for what he or she is not
The Search and Screen Committee is unique in the history of the University System Since the Board of Regents will make the final selection of a Chancellor only from a small list of individuals recommended by the Committee as qualified the heaviest responsibility for choosing a new chief executive for public higher education in Georgia rests with the Committee Therefore each Committee member will have the responsibility to consider his or her task on the Committee as though he or she alone were responsible for the final decision

The System Summary
Concept for Research Center Added to Construction Plans
A concept for a new project the design of a renovation project and changes in project budgets of three projects were authorized in University System constructionprogram actions of the Board of Regents at the meeting on October 910
New Projects
Establishment of a concept of a new project Advanced Technology Research Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology with a project budget of 5700000 was approved
An amendment to the Board of Regents request for a supplemental state appropriation for the 197980 fiscal year to provide 700000 for this project was also approved The breakdown of the additional funds requested would be 500000 for the purchase of land 200000 for the development of the design
This project likely to be located at the corner of Hemphill Avenue and Tenth Street will be designed to provide a building to house a center which would in turn be leased to industrial clients in connection with the development of new technological processes and products requiring research and interaction between the clients personnel and the faculty at Georgia Tech the Regents were told through an agenda item
Design for the Renovation of Jeanes HallSouth Wing project at Fort Valley State College with a project budget of 250000 was approved
Other actions taken in connection with this project include approval of the tentative appointment of A Stanford Adams architect Macon to prepare preliminary plans for the project authorization for the allocation of 10000 from the 197980 fiscal year regular state appropriation for direct cash capital outlay to finance the design for the project
The renovation of the North Wing and the Lobby of Jeanes Hall a mens dormitory at Fort Valley State College has just been completed according to a staffprepared agenda item
Now that the North Wing is completed and accepted we recommend that we proceed with the completion of the renoation of the entire building by starting the South Wing renovation which will include replacement of doors hardware interior finishes and mechanical and electrical systems the genda item indicated
Project Budget Increases
An increase of 1012571 in the project budget of the emodeling of the Murphey Building at the Medical College
CHANGING ADDRESS
The delivery of The System Summary to a new address can be expedited by prompt notification of change of address Each notice should include the old and new addresses including ZIP Codes
of Georgia to a new total of 2705388 was approved
The Board of Regents authorized this project in June 1974 and approved preliminary plans in July 1976
The project consists of the complete renovation of the 30000squarefoot twostory Murphey Building to house a portion of the Department of Pathology
The adjustment in the project budget represents the inflation increase in the construction cost for four years at 10 percent plus a considerable increase in the quantity and cost of the loose equipment to be incorporated in the project at the request of the Medical College the Regents were told
An increase of 32222 in the project budget of the Physical Education Addition project at Floyd Junior College to a new total of 1783682 was ratified
Also in connection with this project the allocation of 32222 to the project from unallocated funds in the 197879 fiscal year supplemental state appropriation to the University System was ratified
These actions had been administratively approved by the chairman and the vice chairman of the Board of Regents and the chairman of the Boards Buildings and Grounds Committee
The Board of Regents authorized this project in December 1972 approved preliminary plans in February 1974 and authorized a project budget of 1751460 and allocated 1751460 to the project from the 197879 fiscal year supplemental state appropriation in April 1979
Bids on construction of the project were received on August 28 1979 The increase in the project budget was needed to permit awarding of the construction contract the Regents were told
Project Budget Reduction
A reduction of 74177 in the project budget of the Food Service Facility project at North Georgia College to a new total of 1763104 was approved
Also in the same action the reallocation of 847281 from this project to the unallocated balance of the 197879 fiscal year supplemental state appropriation to the University System was approved
The Board of Regents authorized this project in September 1978 and approved preliminary plans in March 1979 Prior to the October 910 meeting the Board had given approval for the project to be financed with 990000 from unallocated Georgia Education Authority University academic bond issue funds and 847281 from 197879 fiscal year supplemental state appropriation funds
A review of Georgia Education Authority University academic bond issue balances produced the information that there was now sufficient unallocated funds in the combined balances in the academic bond issues to finance the entire job the Regents were told Therefore the cash supplement allocated by the Board at the May 89 1979 meeting in the amount of 847281 is not needed for this project and should be returned to the unallocated balance of those funds 197879 fiscal year supplemental state appropriation the Regents were also told

New Major Programs
Georgia State University was given approval to offer a major in health and physical education under the institutions existing Specialist in Education degree program effective beginning in the 1980 winter quarter
Graduates of this program will be prepared to seek supervisory positions in public education recreation higher education institutions and private enterprise the Regents were told through an agenda item
According to the agenda item
Among 352 responses to a questionnaire mailed to individuals in the Atlanta area in an effort to determine interest in a health and physical education major under the Specialist in Education degree program 89 persons indicated an interest in enrolling in the program at Georgia State
Projections indicate that 15 students will be enrolled in the program initially and that 35 students will be enrolled in the third year of operation
The newly approved program has been developed to be consistent with State Department of Education requirements T6 certification
Current Georgia State resources are sufficient to support the program therefore no additional funding will be required for the programs implementation
Approximately 24 percent of the students enrolled in the Universitys Master of Education degree program in physical education are minority students and a high percentage of professionals working in the field in the metropolitan Atlanta area are in the minority category It is expected therefore that implementation of this degree program Specialist in Education degree major will have a strongly positive effect upon further desegregation of the University
Augusta College received authorization to offer a major in computer science under the colleges existing Bachelor of Science degree program effective beginning in the 1980 winter quarter
This new program proposal is the result of seven years of study by Augusta College according to a report to the Regents
A 1978 survey of 21 employers in the Augusta area produced prediction of a continuing expansion of computing facilities with a corresponding increase in the need for computing personnel the report also indicated
Also according to the report
The curriculum for the program has been developed in line with the recommendations of various professional societies
Projected enrollments in the program are 25 students in the first year and 77 students in the third year
Current resources of the institution are sufficient for implementation of the program and anticipated program growth of the program will support the internal funding of any additional costs for continuing operation
Minoritystudent enrollment in the current computer
Receive Approval of Board
science minor program is 6 percent of total enrollment It is expected that minoritystudent enrollment in the newly ap proved baccalaureate degree major program will exceec significantly the current percentage of enrollment in the minor program
Waycross Junior College was given authorization to offer a major in business under the institutions existing Associate in Applied Science degree program effective beginning in the 1980 winter quarter
This program is designed to prepare students for initia employment at entrylevel positions or for advancement in their current positions in industry and business an agenda item indicated While the program is designed primarily to meet the occupational needs of students who will terminate their college education at the end of two years it will also include at least 45 hours of transferable course work for the students who might later decide to pursue a baccalaureate degree the agenda item also indicated
The agenda item further indicated
Projections indicate that enrollment in the program will be 15 students in the first year and 40 students by the third year
The program will complement the institutions existing associate degree transfer program in business administration
Additional funding necessary for the implementation of this degree program is minimal and can be provided within the current resources of the college
Minority students comprise 14 percent of the enrollment at Waycross Junior College it is anticipated that the enrollment in this newly approved degree program will approximate that percentage
Change in Title of Degree Program
Georgia Institute of Technology was granted approval to change the name of the institutions Master of Science in Engineering Mechanics degree program to the Master of Science in Engineering Science and Mechanics degree program effective beginning on October 11 1979
The new name according to Georgia Tech President Joseph M Pettit who requested the change will be more compatible with the name of the School of Engineering Science and Mechanics an agenda item reviewed by the Regents indicated
The change in title will involve no program change will have no budgetary effect and will have no impact upon the institutions desegregation plan or affirmative action plan the agenda item indicated
Graduation Fee Raised
An increase in the graduation fee at Gainesville Junior College from 1250 to 15 effective immediately was authorized by the Board of Regents at the September meeting
Gainesville Junior College President Hugh M Mills Jr cited inflation as the sole reason for the requested increase the Regents were told

An institution of the University System shall not purchase or own a passenger automobile
The superseded policy had been adopted by the Board of Regents in 1932
The change in policy was recommended as the result of deliberations of an ad hoc committee of institutional administrators and faculty members appointed by Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford and chaired by Vice Chancellor For Fiscal AffairsTreasurer Shealy E McCoy the Regents were told through an agenda item Included among the committees deliberations the Regents were told was determination of the need for institutional car pools to provide transportation for college personnel in the routine performance of their duties
The committee concluded that no such blanket authorizatio should be given by the Board but that the absolute prohibitio of purchase or ownership of passenger automobiles should b eliminated the Regents were also told
Vehicles for Security Forces
In another action at the October 910 meeting the Board authorized University System institutions to purchase compact andor intermediate sedans with options such as heavj duty cooling systems heavyduty alternators and batteries air conditioning and calibrated speedometers which would provide vehicles suitable for virtually continuous operation to be used exclusively for campus security purposes
Because of the Board of Regents former policy which pro hibited the purchase or ownership of passenger automobiles by institutions the use of pickup trucks station wagons etc has been standard for security purposes in the University System the Regents were told through an agenda item
The recommendation for purchase of the special passenger cars for use by security forces resulted from a study by a University System ad hoc committee composed of individuals involved in the administration of campus security programs and is designed to limit the types of vehicles to those which will be more economical than the vehicles now in use the Regents were told

REGENTS TEST POLICY OVERHAUL VOTED BY BOARD
A revised policy on the Regents Test for students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs at all University System institutions was adopted by the Board of Regents at the November 1314 meeting
The revised policy which reflects a major deletion and several amendments and additions will become effective on January 1 1980
The Regents Test consists of a reading comprehension component and an essay writing component
Some of the Major Changes in Policy
Under the revised policy
A provision that has come to be known as the 105Hour Rule is deleted That Rule was among the Regents Test policy revisions adopted by the Board of Regents in November 1978 to be implemented on July 1 1979 however the Board in July 1979 voted to defer implementation of the Rule until January 1 1980 for further study and possible revision The other revisions adopted in November 1978 were implemented
The 105Hour Rule would have prohibited students in the University System from taking any degreecredit courses
beyond 105 quartercredit hours without having passed the Regents Test It also would have prohibited students transferring into the System in the classification of junior or senior from taking any degreecredit courses beyond their first quarter in the System without having passed the Test It provided for the offering of remedial or review courses in English reading and writing for all students failing to pass the Test as prescribed and it provided for those students to continue in the remedial courses until passing the Test
While removing the prohibition against students taking degreecredit courses beyond designated times the revised policy stipulates The intent of this policy is that passing the Regents Test occur before the end of the students sophomore year that is before the completion of 105 hours of degree credit
An amended provision adds explicitness to the requirement for students to take remedial courses after the quarter in which they earn the seventyfifth hour of degree credit if they have not passed the Regents Test by that time
An amended provision stipulates that the reading comprehension component and the essay writing component of

Southern Technical Institute May Become a Senior College
A recommendation to make Southern Technical Institute a senior college in engineering technology has been placed before the Board of Regents by Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford
The recommendation was submitted at an informal session of the Board on November 13 It will be on the official agenda for the Boards meeting on December 1112
Southern Technical Institute is a fouryear division of the Georgia Institute of Technology Located on a 180acre camus at Marietta it awards associate degrees and bachelors egrees in several areas of engineering technology
Dr Crawford told the Regents that the recommendation as made after much study and soulsearching He added 1 have come to the conclusion that the best interests of the tate of Georgia and of the University System of Georgia ould be served if Southern Technical Institute were to be ompletely separated from Georgia Institute of Technology nd were to become a senior college of the University System
with the mission of providing education of the highest possible quality in engineering technology at the associate degree and baccalaureate degree levels
He continued
In reaching that conclusion I have been mindful of the many debts which Southern Tech owes to Georgia Tech which are like the debts owed by an offspring to a parent conception birth early nurture and the prestige of belonging to a wellknown and highly respected family But at the risk of pushing that analogy too far I submit that the child has come of age and needs now to be allowed to make his own way which is different from the parents way to have the responsibility for his own success and failures and to establish his own reputation in the world
I am convinced that this recommendation is in the best interest of the education of engineering technologists for one

The newly authorized major in science education is designed to enhance the academic and professional competence of science teachers at both the middle school and upper school levels the Regents were told
The Regents were also told
Local public school officials have told the College that a majority of science teachers particularly at the middle school level need breadth of preparation in a combination of science areas rather than specialization in one area since these teachers are likely to have multiple teaching assignments in the sciences
Many public school teachers have requested that the College develop a masterslevel program in science education few have taken advantage of the more specialized majors currently available
No additional funding will be required for the implementation of the new major in science education
The Armstrong State College affirmative action plan will not be altered by the new major or by the deactivation of the majors in biology and chemistry Approximately 30 percent of the students currently enrolled in Master of Education degree programs at the Armstrong State College are minority students Minority teachers comprise a relatively high percentage of science teachers employed in Chatham County The projected minority enrollment in the science education major program is 20 percent
North Georgia College received authorization to implement a major in finance under the institutions existing Bachelor of Business Administration degree program effective beginning on January 1 1980
North Georgia College currently offers majors in accounting economics management and secretarial and office administration under the Bachelor of Business Administration degree program The newly approved major will be a step toward completion of the complement of programs covering all the functional areas of business according to North Geor
gia College President John H Owen the Regents were told through an agenda item
Also according to the agenda item
The objectives of the program are to prepare student for employment in entrylevel financial management posi tions in the private and public sectors and for possible grad uate work at the Master of Business Administration degre level
No additional funding will be required for the implementation of the new major program
The affirmative action plan of the institution will not be affected by the addition of the program

Regents Test Continued from Front Cover
the Test may be administered separately or together depending on the needs of the students and that a student will not be required to retake either component that he or she has passed This provision is retroactive to all students who have taken the Test in any form since the inception of the Regents Testing Program
Previously students were required to continue taking both the reading comprehension component and the essay writing component at the same administration until he or she passed the entire Test
A new provision stipulates that under prescribed conditions a student may request a formal review to be conducted in accordance with Board of Regentsapproved procedures of his or her failure to pass the essay writing component of the Test
A new provision stipulates that a student holding a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education will not be required to complete the Test as a condition of graduation from a University System institution
A new provision stipulates that remedial work required under the Regents Test policy shall be in keeping with regulations in satisfaction of federal and state student financial assistance and such other eligibility programs
A new provision stipulates that under prescribed conditions institutions will not be prohibited from increasing requirements affecting the Regents Test
Among the other aspects of the Regents Test affected by the revisions in the policy are requirements for students to take the Test initially
REVISED POLICY
The text of the revised policy on the Regents Testing Program governing the Regents Test as adopted by the Board of Regents at the November 1314 meeting to become effective on January 1 1980 is
J10REGENTS TESTING PROGRAM
An examination to assess the competency level in reading and writing of all students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs in University System institutions shall be administered The following statement shall be the policy of the Board oj Regents of the University System of Georgia on this examination
Each institution of the University System of Georgia shall assure the other institutions and the System as a whole that students obtaining a degree from that institution possess literacy competence that is certain minimum skills of reading and writing
The Regents Testing Program has been developed to help in the attainment of this goal The objectives of the Testing Program are to provide Systemwide information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and writing and 2 to provide a uniform means of identifying those students who Jail to attain the minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading and writing
Passing the Regents Test is defined as having passed all
components oj the Test by scoring above the cutoff score sped fied for each component The Test may be administered eithet in its entirety or as one or more components depending on thi needs of the students If one component of the Test is passed that component need not be retaken this provision is retro active to all students who have taken the Test in any form since the inception of the program
The intent of this policy is that passing the Regents Test occur before the end of the students sophomore year that is before the completion of 105 hours of degree credit Student who fail the Test must retake and pass the Test Each institution shall provide an appropriate program of remediation and shall require deficient students to participate in that program prior to retaking the Test
A student holding a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education will not be required to complete the Regents Test in order to receive a degree from a University System institution
In order to implement effectively the goals of the Testing Program
I Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs shall pass the Regents Test as a requirement for graduation Students including transfer students andor readmitted students may take the Test after they have completed the required basic core English courses They may be required to take the Test in the quarter after they have earned 45 hours of degree credit if the Test has not been passed previously Institutions however may not delay initial testing beyond the students having earned the 60th hour of degree credit
2 All students who have taken and have not passed the Regents Test during the quarter in which they will have earned 75 hours of degree credit shall take the appropriate nondegree credit course or courses in remedial reading andor remedial writing in each quarter of attendance until they have passed all components of the Test
3 Having passed the Regents Test shall not be a condition of transfer into an institution All transferring students from within the System shall be subject to all provisions of this policy Students from institutions outside the System who transfer into a System institution with 60 or more degree credit hours shall take the Test during the initial quarter of enrollment and in subsequent quarters shall be subject to all provisions of this policy
4 Students whose mother tongue is other than English may be exempted from taking the Regents Test by the institution provided appropriate local procedures are employed to certify the literacy competence of those students earning a degree
5 For extraordinary situations each institution shall develop special procedures for certifying the literacy competence oj students A written description of those procedures shall be submitted to the Chancellor for approval A record of the action shall be reported by the Chancellor to the Education Committee of the Board of Regents Such procedures shall include provision for remediation ij needed and formal examination prior to certifying competency Such examination shall equal or exceed the standards of the Regents Testing Program
6 A student may request a formal review of hisher failure on the essay component of the Regents Test if that students essay received at least one passing score among the three scores awarded and if the student has successfully completed the courses

The System Summary
in English composition required by the local institution This review will be conducted in accordance with Board of Regents approved procedures
7 These revised procedures shall be followed by all students effective January 1 1980
8 Remedial work as required under the above policy shall be in keeping with regulations in satisfaction of federal and state student financial assistance and such other eligibility programs
9 These regulations shall not prohibit institutions from increasing requirements affecting the Regents Testing Program provided such increased requirements are authorized by the Chancellor and provided further that such requirements are published in the official catalog of the institution prior to implementation Such additional requirements shall in no way affect the transfer students from one institution to another or the readmission of students to University System institutions
SUPERSEDED POLICY
The text of the policy on the Regents Testing Program governing the Regents Test that will be superseded by the revised policy that will become effective on January 1 1980 is
J10REGENTS TESTING PROGRAM
An examination to assess the competency level in reading and writing of those students enrolled in degree programs in University System institutions will be administered The following statement shall be the policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia on this examination
It is the responsibility of each institution of the University System of Georgia to assure the other institutions and the System as a whole that students obtaining a degree from that institution possess the basic competence of academic literacy that is certain minimum skills of reading and writing
The Regents Testing Program has been developed to help in the attainment of this goal The objectives of the Testing Program are I to provide Systemwide information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and writing and 2 to provide a uniform means of identifying those students who fail to attain minimum levels of competence expected of graduates in the areas of reading and writing
In order to implement effectively the goals of the Testing Program
I Students enrolled in degree programs will be required to take and pass the Regents Test Passing the Test is a requirement for graduation Students may take the Test after they have completed the required basic core English courses They will be required to take the Test in the quarter after they have completed their 45th degree quarterhour if it has not been taken and passed previously Students who have not passed the Test by the time they have earned 75 quartercredit hours exclusive of physical education activity courses and ROTC must give priority to taking remedial or review English reading and writing courses until they pass the Test Each institution is directed to develop procedures that will require its students to pass the Regents Test prior to being classified as a junioryear student Students who have not passed the Regents Test by the time they have earned 105 quartercredit hours excluding physical education activity courses and ROTC must be denied taking further credit courses and be limited to taking only remedial
or review English reading and writing courses until they do pass the Regents Test
2 Having passed the Regents Test shall not be a condition to transfer into an institution All transfers within the System will be subject to Paragraph I above Students from colleges outside the System who transfer into a System institution in the lowerdivision category and who have not passed the Test must do so in accordance with Paragraph I above Students who transfer into an institution from outside the System in the classification of junior or senior and who have not passed the Regents Test must take the Test in the first quarter of their attendance If they fail the Test they must be restricted to taking remedial or review courses in English reading and writing until they have passed the Regents Test
3 Students whose mother tongue is other than English may be exempted by the institution provided appropriate local procedures are employed to certify the competence of those students earning a degree
4 The Test is to be considered as a single unit and will be administered as such passing the Test is defined as scoring above the cutoff on all components of the Test at the same administration
5 Students who fail the Test must retake and pass the Test Each institution will provide an appropriate program of remediation and may require deficient students to participate in the program prior to retaking the Test
6 For extraordinary situations each institution will develop special procedures for certifying the competency of students A written description of these procedures will be submitted to the Chancellors office for approval Such procedures will include provision for remediation if needed and formal examination prior to certifying competency Such examination will equal or exceed the standards of the Regents Testing Program
7 Each institution shall include in its catalog a copy of the Regents policy on the Regents Testing Program
8 These revised procedures shall be followed by all students effective July l 1979
Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford told the Board of Regents that an ad hoc committee the University System Advisory Council and the Advisory Councils Committee on Academic Affairs assisted him in drafting the recommendation for the revised Regents Test policy that was adopted by the Board at the November 1314 meeting
The draft of a recommendation prepared by the ad hoc committee was discussed at length by the Advisory Council consisting of the acting chancellor the acting vice chancellor and the presidents of all University System institutions at a meeting on October 5 the Acting Chancellor said The Advisory Council at that same meeting also received comments from its Committee on Academic Affairs he said
The revision of the Regents Test policy as approved by the Board of Regents in November 1978 to be implemented on July 1 1979 was recommended by an ad hoc committee and was approved by the University System Advisory Council That ad hoc committee appointed by thenChancellor George L Simpson Jr consisted of Presidents Noah Langdale Jr of Georgia State University chairman B R Tilley of Albany Junior College Louis C Alderman Jr of Middle Georgia College Cleveland W Pettigrew of Fort Valley State College

and Maurice K Townsend of West Georgia College A principal feature of that revision was the addition of the 105Hour Rule prohibiting a student from taking any degreecredit courses beyond a specified point without having passed the Regents Test
Dr Crawford who became acting chancellor on June 15 1979 requested shortly after he was appointed that the Board authorize deferral of implementation of the 105Hour Rule until January 1 1980 for further study and possible revision He said the deferral was recommended by the Executive Committee of the University System Advisory Councils Committee on Academic Affairs and by the University System Student Advisory Council The request for deferral was approved by the Board in a mail vote in July
Shortly after the Boards vote for deferral Dr Crawford designated an ad hoc committee to study the Regents Test matter The study was expanded beyond the 105Hour Rule provision to encompass several aspects of the Regents Test policy This committee was made up of the same five members that constituted the committee that recommended the revision adopted by the Board in November 1978 Presidents Langdale chairman Tilley Alderman Pettigrew and Townsendplus President Horace Sturgis of Kennesaw College and President Harry S Downs of Clayton Junior College
The Regents Test initially known as the Rising Junior Test was initiated in the University System on a pilot basis in 1971
The Board of Regents in April 1972 adopted a policy requiring all students in the University System institutions to take the Test at the appropriate times That policy did not require students to pass the Test as a condition of graduation but it permitted each institution the option to establish such a requirement
The Board in November 1972 revised the policy to require students to pass the Test as a condition of graduation
Review Procedures Adopted For Failures on Test Essays
Procedures for use in handling requests of University System students for formal review of their failure to pass the essay writing component of the Regents Test were adopted by the Board of Regents at the November 1314 meeting
The text of these procedures is
1 The review wilt be initiated at the campus level with procedural matters to be determined by the institution The oncampus review however will be conducted by the three faculty members designated by the institution as a review panel
2 The oncampus review panel may 1 sustain by majority opinion the essays failing score thus terminating the review process or 2 recommend by majority opinion the rescoring oj the essay by the Regents Testing Program central office The student will be notified concerning the results of the oncampus review
3 If the oncampus panel recommends rescoring of the essay that recommendation will be transmitted in writing along with a copy oj the essay to the office of the University System director of the Regents Testing Program The director will utilize the services of three experienced Regents essay scorers other than those involved in the original scoring of the essay to review the essay following normal scoring procedures for the essay component of the Regents Test The decision of this panel on the merits of the essay will be final thus terminating the review process The student will be notified through the institution concerning the results of the review
A revised policy on the Regents Test adopted by the Board of Regents at the meeting on November 1314 sets forth the conditions for requesting the formal review
The Regents Test consists of a reading comprehension component in addition to the essay writing component
Funds Allocated for Improvement Projects at Four System Institutions
Allocations totaling 53880 for improvement projects at four University System institutions were approved by the Board of Regents at the November 1314 meeting
These allocations were made from direct cash capital outlay funds provided in the regular state appropriation to the University System for the 197980 fiscal year
The institutions and the allocations are as follows
Fort Valley State College 1180 additional allocation for a new burner in the boiler in the Food Service Building
Georgia College 44000 for repairs to Ennis Hall Old Library Infirmary and Health and Physical Education Building
North Georgia College 5700 additional funds for storm drainage improvements
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College 3000 for change order on Extension of Existing Underground Hot and Cold Water Distribution System project
The allocations for projects at Fort Valley State College
North Georgia College and Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College were ratified by the Board of Regents These allocations had been approved administratively by the vice chancellor for facilities Frank C Dunham who was given authority by the Board of Regents in June 1979 to allocate capital outlay cash appropriation funds not to exceed 50000 for any one project without prior approval of the Board
Activity Athletic Fees Raised
Increases in two charges to students at Columbus College were authorized by the Board of Regents at the November 1314 meeting
These increases effective beginning in the 1980 summer quarter are Activity increased from 11 to 1250 per quarter Athletic increased from 10 to 1250 per quarter

The System Summary
Southern Tech Continued from Front Cover
overriding reason If it is adopted the great majority of the Southern Tech faculty alumni and friends will work with a will to justify its correctness since the great majority of them I am convincedbelieve that independence from Georgia Tech is the proper course for the institution to follow I believe that the enthusiasm with which such a decision would be greeted by the Southern Tech family and their determination to show that they on their own can move their institution to new heights of success would more than compensate for the loss of guidance protection and intercession which Georgia Tech has provided in the past
Separation Target Mid1981
The separation of Southern Technical Institute from the Georgia Institute of Technology is expected to take place by July 1 1931 if the Board of Regents approves the recommendation according to Dr Crawford who has been acting chancellor since June 15 1979 on leave from his position as vice president for academic affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology The separation with the achievement of seniorcollege status for Southern Technical Institute might occur sooner if the selection of a president for the college can be sufficiently expedited he said
Since 1975 considerable discussion and activity have occurred on the Southern Tech campus regarding the desirability and feasibility for Southern Tech to operate as a separate unit of the University System by eliminating the official administrative ties it has with Georgia Tech Dr Crawford said in his recommendation
Adjustments in the administrative structure of Southern Technical Institute and of the divisions relationship with the Georgia Institute of Technology in recent years were summarized by Dr Crawford Southern Technical Institute now operates with an executive directordean
The executive directordean of Southern Technical Institute reports to the president of Georgia Institute of Technology on all matters related to administration and to the vice president for academic affairs of Georgia Institute of Technology on all matters related to academics All operating units of Southern Technical Institute report to the executive director dean on that campus There is a Southern Technical InstituteGeorgia Institute of Technology Joint Curriculum Faculty Liaison Committee
The Southern Technical Institute faculty voted 5812 in March 1978 for the establishment of a Regents Study Committee to investigate the relationship and status of Georgia Tech and Southern Tech and such a Committee was appointed by thenChancellor George L Simpson Jr in July 1978 Dr Crawford said The 13member Committee included representatives from the Southern Technical Institutes faculty administration student government alumni association and foundation from the Georgia Institute of Technologys faculty administration student government alumni association and foundation and a representative from the Board of Regents office thenVice Chancellor John W Hooper who was Committee chairman
Reports of Committee Members
The Committee members made individual reports as re
quested by Committee Chairman Hooper Dr Crawford said Dr Hooper resigned as vice chancellor on June 30 1979 to return to his former position as Regents professor of electrical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology When in June 1979 both Chancellor Simpson and Vice Chancellor Hooper left the central office of the Board of Regents I assumed the responsibility of pulling together the reports of the Regents Study Committee members seeking any other information which I considered essential and formulating a recommendation to the Board of Regents Dr Crawford explained
In summarizing the Committee members reports Dr Crawford told the Regents
On some questions there was general in fact unanimous agreement All Committee members agreed that Southern Tech graduates are receiving an education of high quality They agreed that there is a real need in industry particularly in Georgia for people with the kind of education which Southern Tech graduates receive These findings are based on the avidity with which the graduates are recruited by industry the salaries they receive and their record of advancement in their jobs
No arguments were presented in the reports to the effect that the operation of Southern Tech as a division of Georgia Tech was not conducted in an efficient and fiscally responsible manner Lacking any evidence on which to base such arguments I conclude that the operation has been both responsible and efficient and that the Committee implicitly agrees with this position
It was on the basic question dealing with the advantages and disadvantages of modified organizational arrangements that the opinions of the Committee members were sharply divided Only on one point did there seem to be agreement The present arrangement is not satisfactory
Two opposing organizational changes were advocated by different members of the Committee One group proposed that the two institutions be separated totally and that Southern Technical Institute become an independent fouryear college The other group called for the establishment of closer ties between the two institutions although there was no unanimity of opinion evident within this group as to the organizational form which the more closely integrated institution would assume
Within the Committee those who advocated closer ties between the institutions outnumbered those who favored complete separation six to four with two not stating their preference and one now studying abroad not reporting
CloserAffiliation Model
Dr Joseph M Pettit president of the Georgia Institute of Technology was requested to describe his concept of the organization that would result from a decision to tie the two institutions more closely together Dr Crawford told the Regents In studying the individual reports from the members of the Committee I became aware that whereas there seemed to be no confusion about what the organizational arrangement would be if Southern Tech were completely separated from Georgia Tech or if the present arrangement were

Southern Tech Continuedfrom Page 11
maintained there was confusion or at least a difference of opinion on what the closer affiliation model would call for in terms of organizational structure Dr Crawford said
Dr Pettits fourpage letter of response to Dr Crawfords request was included as part of Dr Crawfords presentation to the Board
In his letter describing possible arrangements for a closer integration of Southern Technical Institute and the Georgia Institute of Technology President Pettit outlined a proposal for basically a multicampus university He emphasized that the proposal can only claim to be a working draft for discussion and consideration
President Pettit said the second campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology presently Southern Technical Institute could be named Georgia TechMarietta Under this proposal he said the present positions of executive director and dean at the Marietta campus both of which are now held by one person would preferably be separated The chief executive officer could have the title of executive director or vice presidentMarietta or executive director and vice presidentMarietta or campus vice president or provost he said The academic operation would be a College of Engineering Technology presided over by a dean he said
President Pettit outlined options for future operations of a Marietta Campus and a Main Campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology under his proposal Among the matters dealt with in the options general administration academic structure and administration faculty and staff appointments budgets student admission student government alumni and foundation organizations athletic activities physical plant facilities and public service
President Pettit also listed another alternative model under which each of the two campuses could have a chief executive officer with the title of president
A vote of the Southern Technical Institute faculty members on three possible organizational models was conducted after a copy of President Pettits description of the closeraffiliation model was sent to the faculty members Dr Crawford said The results of that vote he added were 8 for the present arrangement 20 for more integration 67 for complete separation 1 not indicating a choice Only eight eligible voters did not cast a ballot he indicated
President Pettits description of the closeraffiliation model was also furnished to members of the Regents Study Committee Dr Crawford said Only a few responded and none of them changed their original positions he said
Formal and informal discussions have been held with many groups and individuals from the students faculty and alumni of both Southern Technical Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology and from the Marietta community Dr Crawford told the Regents The opinions expressed in these discussions were as varied and indeed covered the same range as those from the Regents Study Committee he stated One theme recurred A decision one way or the other is needed soon so that Southern Tech can get about its business of educating students The turmoil over pending organizational decisions is viewed by all as being a thoroughly undesirable distraction This latter point was stressed by a group from the Marietta
community I particularly appreciated that groups expression of willingness to support whichever decision is made
Letters Opposing Separation
Dr Crawford told the Regents that executives of textile companies in Georgia wrote many letters to him The executives expressed the view he said that the two institutions should not be separated but if they are that the Industrial Education Department of Southern Technical Institute should be made part of Georgia Tech The reason given is that while the offerings of this Department are very valuable to the textile industry the prestige of the Georgia Tech affiliation is needed to make them attractive he explained
Southern Technical Institute has been a unit of the Georgia Institute of Technology ever since its inception more than 30 years ago It was authorized by the Board of Regents in October 1947 following a request from the Associated Industries of Georgia now the Georgia Business and Industry Association It was opened in March 1948 in the old Atlanta Naval Air Station near Chamblee as the Technical Institute It was moved to a new campus at Marietta where it is presently located in 1961
The conversion of Southern Technical Institute from a twoyear unit to a fouryear unit was authorized by the Board of Regents in March 1970 and became effective in the fall quarter of 1970 The fouryear unit has continued to offer associate degrees in engineering technology and has added baccalaureate degrees in engineering technology
Enrollment has increased from 116 students in 1948 to 2380 students in the 1979 fall quarter
PropertyManagement Resolution
A resolution adopting rules and regulations for the management of new construction in floodprone mudslideprone and floodrelated erosionprone areas of properties of the Board of Regents was adopted by the Board at the November 1314 meeting
These regulations of the Board were prepared by the State Geologist and were adopted by the Board in response to an Executive Order of Governor George Busbee The Executive Order requires each agency of state government to issue or amend existing regulations and procedures complying with the standards and criteria of Sections 19103 19104 and 19105 of the National Flood Insurance Program rules and regulations
Through a staffprepared agenda item the Regents were told
These rules and regulations prepared by the State Geologist have been reviewed by the staff and determined to be applicable to property owned by the Board of Regents
The Federal Administrator has indicated that if the relevant state agencies do not have regulations by November 15 1979 she will rescind approval of the State SelfInsurance Plan with regard to the National Flood Insurance Program

The System Summary
Principal Arguments on the Status of Southern Tech
Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford summarized for the Board of Regents in an informal session on November 13 the principal arguments advanced for and against his recommendation to make Southern Technical Institute a senior college
Dr Crawfords recommendation to give the new status to Southern Technical Institute now a fouryear division of Georgia Institute of Technology will be on the agenda for action by the Board of Regents at the December 1112 meeting
A summary of the principal arguments advanced in favor of a closer affiliation between Southern Technical Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology and against separation of the units he said is
1 The affiliation with Georgia Tech adds prestige to Southern Tech and helps to delineate it from a vocationaltechnical school in the public mind
2 Georgia Tech provides many valuable services to Southern Tech If Southern Tech were called upon to supply these services it would incur additional costs of approximately 300000 per year The resulting savings to Georgia Tech would be much less than this amount
3 Transfer of credit between the two institutions would be facilitated by a closer affiliation
4 If separated Southern Tech would eventually move into engineering thus creating an unnecessary second engineering school in the State and more important reducing Southern
Techs interest in and promotion of engineering technology
A summary of the principal arguments advanced against a closer affiliation between Southern Technical Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology and in favor of separation of the two units he said is
1 Southern Tech has come of age It no longer needs the protective wing of Georgia Tech and is indeed beginning to smother under that wing
2 Faculty and staff morale at Southern Tech is low because of both real and perceived neglect by Georgia Tech Geography prevents the close administrative contact which is necessary for a viable organization under either the present arrangement or the more closely affiliated model
3 Authority and responsibility need to be matched Southern Tech needs to be given the challenge of having both the authority and the responsibility to develop its own destiny as a leading institution of engineering technology At present Georgia Tech is blamed by Southern Tech for most things that go wrong A part of the needed maturation process would be to place responsibility for both the success and the failure of its endeavors at Southern Tech
4 Southern Techs mission is distinct from that of Georgia Tech The Georgia Tech administration and faculty are by and large neither sufficiently concerned nor sufficiently informed about engineering technology to serve it effectively
5 Southern Tech will command more not less respect if allowed to stand alone

This Food Service Facility project at North Georgia College is under construction Designed to provide an area of 26314 square feet the project is scheduled to be completed in Octo

Center Becomes Institute at Georgia State University
Redesignation of the Center for Industrial Relations at Georgia State University to the Institute for Industrial Relations to become effective on November 15 1979 was approved by the Board of Regents at the November 1314 meeting
The Center for Industrial Relations has been actively operating for a year according to an agenda item reviewed by the Regents
Also the agenda item indicated
According to Georgia State University President Noah Langdale Jr redesignation of the Center as an Institute will provide a more formal structure that will accommodate not only research activities and the offering of noncredit courses but also the offering of credit courses in existing concentrations within the Master of Business Administration and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs
The primary purposes of the Institute will be 1 to provide an interdisciplinary framework for offering degreecredit work and graduate degrees 2 to provide a vehicle for obtaining extramural funding in support of research and 3 to provide a vehicle for continuing education and public service
Of significant support for the research activities and academic programs of the Institute will be the Georgia State Universitys Southern Labor Archives which were created to collect preserve and make available a documentary record of organized labor in the South
The Institute will function within the College of Business Administration and its director will report to the dean of the College of Business Administration
No additional costs or changes in the desegregation plan or the affirmative action plan of the institution will be incurred by the redesignation
This matter was on the agenda of the October meeting of
the Board of Regents but it was tabled pending receipt of definitions of center and institute
Definitions of Center Institute
Through an information item on the agenda of the No vember 1314 meeting the Regents were told
Two academic mechanisms have been developed within the University Systemparticularly at the university levelwhich complement the internal traditional department division school and college universitylevel structures These mechanisms which are by no means unique to the University System are known as centers and institutes The center and the institute share certain administrative and academic characteristics but the two differ substantially in key areas Following is an attempt at working definitions of the two terms as they might be utilized in the University System
A center provides an organizational base for research in a given academic area or closely related areas It often provides a vehicle for interdisciplinary research in a given area involving faculty and students from a variety of internal administrative structures It may be involved in the offering of continuing education activities related to its areas of interest The center structure may facilitate efforts of the college or university to obtain extramural funding in specific areas It serves as a formalized link between the academic community and the professional community in the areas of focus A center however is not an autonomous structure within the internal statutory organization of a college or university It is administratively most often an appendage of one of the traditional administrative structures such as a department A center is not involved in the independent offering of credit course or degree programs
An institute shares the centers focus on research provision of opportunity for interdisciplinary activity involvement in continuing education activities value in facilitating efforts to obtain extramural funding and service as a link between the academic and professional communities It is however a far more formalized structure and may be equivalent to an autonomous unit within the internal structure of the college or university such as a department division school or universitylevel college It will unlike a center be involved in the offering of credit courses and may offer degree programs H
Nonresident Tuition Waived
The waiver of nonresident tuition for students who participate in Summer Institutes sponsored by the Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology was approved by the Board of Regents at the November 1314 meeting
The request for the waiver was made in a letter from Georgia Institute of Technology President Joseph M Pettit and Georgia State University President Noah Langdale Jr the Regents were informed through an agenda item
The Regents were told that the letter indicated
The Southeastern Consortium for Minorities in Engineering SECME is an organization made up of the engineering colleges from 18 Southeastern universities in 7 states Its goal is to increase substantially the number of minority students in the fields of science and engineering
During the past three summers over 350 teachers and counselors from participating school systems have been introduced to methods of identifying minority students for placement in project classes and to curriculum enrichment methods for use with these students This was done through workshops
In MinorityStudent Program
held at the University of Alabama at the University of South Carolina and at Georgia Tech The workshop at Georgia Tech this past summer was cosponsored by the Education College at Georgia State University The states of Alabama and South Carolina waived outofstate tuition for nonresidents
The SECME workshop program in Georgia offers a unique opportunity to influence directly the education of several thousand Georgia students who have the potential for succeeding in college and although the majority of these students may not attend Georgia State or Georgia Tech most will attend University System institutions
The workshop program gives engineering faculty and education faculty from the two universities an opportunity to interface and work cooperatively
This is a project that facilitates affirmative action by bringing more minorities into science and engineering fields and is therefore consistent with the direction of the University System plan approved by HEW the US Department of Health Education and Welfare

Status of Senior College Voted for Southern Tech
Conversion of Southern Technical Institute Marietta to a senior college of the University System was approved by the Board of Regents at the December 1112 meeting
Implementation of this action will result in the dissolution of Southern Technical Institutes status as a fouryear division of the Georgia Institute of Technology
Formation of a Reorganization Committee to deal with matters related to separation of Southern Tech from Georgia Tech and initiation of a search for a president for Southern Tech were also authorized by the Board of Regents at the December 1112 meeting
The agenda item formally recommending the Board of Regents actions indicated that the effective date for the conversion of Southern Tech would be July 1 1981 or earlier if possible Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford told the Board that he anticipates that the conversion can be brought about by July 1 1980
There are good reasons for moving as quickly as possible to complete the separation once the decision to do so has been reached Dr Crawford told the Board Southern Tech

Degree Designation Removed Initiation of Unit Approved
A change in a masters degree program was authorized by the Board of Regents at the December 1112 meeting
Also establishment of a department and changes in designations of two departments were also authorized
Georgia State University received approval to change the currently designated Master of Science degree program with a major in medical technology to an undesignated Master of Science degree program effective beginning on January 1 1980
The Board of Regents in April 1972 authorized a new major in medical technology under the existing Master of Science degree program Since that time many allied health disciplines as well as the federal government have recognized the need for graduate management education for health professionals an agenda item reviewed by the Regents indicated
A threeyear grant from the US Department of Health Education and Welfare HEW to the Georgia State Universitys College of Allied Health Sciences funded as of October 1 1978 provided for the planning and implementing of a general management track at the masters degree level for allied health professionals the Regents were told through the agenda item
The agenda item also indicated
During the first year of the HEW grant which was designated as a planning year course work given to medical technologists was refined in order to make it applicable to any allied health discipline The 30 hours of major course workplus 10 additional hours of residency in the old program have been generalized to accommodate the needs of all disciplines Thus other allied health professionals particularly those educated in the College of Allied Health Sciences at Georgia State University have the opportunity to acquire new management theory and to apply it to their own specific areas of professional practice The undesignated Master of Science degree therefore will be the appropriate degree to be awarded for the completion of this program
Implementation of this change in degree nomenclature will require no additional funding and will have no effect on Georgia States affirmative action and desegregation plans
The University of Georgia was authorized to establish a Department of Quantitative Business Analysis effective

The System Summary
Southern Tech Continued from Front Cover
personnel will be understandably anxious to experience their own new status and to begin the task of justifying their earlier demands for independence Georgia Tech will want to get rid of administrative responsibilities toward Southern Tech which no longer hold any promise of lasting benefits All parties will be delighted if the separation can be completed by June 30 1980 and if Southern Tech can begin in its new role on July 1 1980
The recommendation for the establishment of Southern Tech as a senior college separate from Georgia Tech was made by Dr Crawford to the Board of Regents at a meeting on November 1314 with a request that the vote on the matter be deferred until the December 1112 meeting The details of the recommendation were set forth in a 15page document
Dr Crawford told the Board of Regents at the December meeting that the recurring costs of operation of Southern Tech and Georgia Tech as separate institutions are expected to be approximately 71000 per year more than the costs of operating the two units as one institution He said that this amount will be substantially less than the amount projected when the recommendation for changing the status of Southern Tech was submitted to the Board at the November meeting He explained that the smaller amount can be provided from funds available in the 197980 fiscal year budget for the 12 months ending on June 30 1980 but that the larger amount could not have been absorbed in the 197980 budget The prospect for funding the smaller amount from the 197980 budget was a major factor in expectation that the changed status of Southern Tech can become effective on July 1 1980 he explained
Reorganization Committee
The Reorganization Committee to deal with matters pertaining to Southern Techs conversion to a senior college will be formed by Dr Crawford It will include representatives from both Southern Tech and Georgia Tech and its work will be coordinated by the Board of Regents office
This Committee according to an agenda item reviewed by the Regents at the December 1112 meeting will be responsible for 1 recommending the administrative design for Southern Technical Institute 2 preparing a schedule for the orderly and efficient transfer of the applicable administrative functions from Georgia Institute of Technology to Southern Technical Institute and 3 studying the funding requirements for implementation of the transfer of functions with funding recommendations to be presented for incorporation in the 198182 fiscal year budget request
Search for President
The search for a president for Southern Tech is to be initiated immediately and is to be completed by the summer of 1980 the agenda item reviewed by the Regents indicated
The Board of Regentsapproved procedures for the selection of presidents provide that two committees will be involved during the search process A Presidential Search Committee formed by the chancellor is made up in each case of faculty and staff members alumni and students of the institution involved and representatives of the community in which the institution is located A Special Regents Committee formed
by the chairman of the Board of Regents is made up in each case of three to five members of the Board of Regents
The chancellor recommends in each case a candidate for president for action by the Board of Regents
Walter O Carlson is executive directordean of Southern Tech His reporting to Georgia Tech is to the president on all matters relating to administration to the vice president for academic affairs on all matters related to academics
Dr Crawford told the Board of Regents at the December 1112 meeting that Dr Carlson has indicated his intention to leave his Southern Tech position to return to his position as professor of mechanical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology He said however that Dr Carlson will continue as executive directordean of Southern Tech until a president for this unit as a new senior college is installed
Best Interests Would be Served
In submitting his recommendation initially to the Board of Regents in November Dr Crawford stated
I have come to the conclusion that the best interests of the State of Georgia and of the University System of Georgia would be served if Southern Technical Institute were to be completely separated from Georgia Institute of Technology and were to become a senior college of the University System with the mission of providing education of the highest possible quality in engineering technology at the associate degree and baccalaureate degree levels
In reaching that conclusion I have been mindful of the many debts which Southern Tech owes to Georgia Tech which are like the debts owed by an offspring to a parent conception birth early nurture and the prestige of belonging to a wellknown and highly respected family But at the risk of pushing that analogy too far I submit that the child has come of age and needs now to be allowed to make his own way which is different from the parents way to have the responsibility for his own success and failures and to establish his own reputation in the world
I am convinced that this recommendation is in the best interest of the education of engineering technologists for one overriding reason If it is adopted the great majority of the Southern Tech faculty alumni and friends will work with a will to justify its correctness since the great majority of them I am convinced believe that independence from Georgia Tech is the proper course for the institution to follow
Southern Tech has been a division of Georgia Tech ever since its inception It was authorized by the Board of Regents in 1947 and opened as a twoyear division in 1948 in the old Naval Air Station at Chamblee with an enrollment of 116 students The division moved to a new campus in Marietta where it is presently located in 1961 and it was converted by the Board of Regents to a fouryear division in 1970 It offers associate degree and bachelors degree programs in several fields of engineering technology with a 1979 fall quarter enrollment of 2380 men and women students including 472 students housed on the campus
The nature of the relationship between Southern Tech and Georgia Tech has been discussed from time to time for many years Recent years brought intensification of the discussion including calls from several quarters with close ties to South

ern Tech including Southern Tech students faculty members and alumni for separation of the division from Georgia Tech
In July 1978 thenChancellor George L Simpson Jr appointed a Regents Study Committee to look into the relationship and status of Southern Tech and Georgia Tech That Committee which had been requested by a 5812 vote of the Southern Tech faculty consisted of wide representation of both Southern Tech and Georgia Tech and had John W Hooper University System vice chancellor as chairman Dr Hooper reported to the Board of Regents in May 1979 that a report on the Committees work was in its final stage
Dr Simpsons departure from the position of chancellor on June 4 and Dr Hoopers departure from the position of vice chancellor on June 30 to return to his previous position as Regents professor of electrical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology delayed presentation of the Committees report
Dr Crawford was elected acting chancellor by the Board of Regents on June 15 He began soon thereafter to prepare a recommendation on the future status of Southern Tech considering three options maintaining the status quo relationship of Southern Tech and Georgia Tech closer affiliation separation
Dr Crawford who is on leave from his position as vice president for academic affairs at Georgia Tech told the Board of Regents in November that he considered input from several
Official Says No Change in
The separation of Southern Technical Institute from the Georgia Institute of Technology as authorized by the Board of Regents at the December 1112 meeting will not change the mission of Southern Tech according to Acting Chancellor Vernon Crawford
The Board of Regents action authorized conversion of Southern Tech from a fouryear division of Georgia Tech to a senior college effective beginning on July 1 1981 or earlier if possible The conversion is likely to take place by July 1 1980 Dr Crawford indicated to the Board
In a prepared statement submitted to the Board of Regents at the December meeting Dr Crawford said
The mission of Southern Technical Institute its purpose will not be changed if it is separated administratively from Georgia Institute of Technology The Statement of Purpose of Southern Technical Institute as approved by the Board of Regents and as found on Page 9 of the 197980 General Catalog will need changing in only one respect the deletion of the words an operationally separate unit of the Georgia Institute of Technology The statement in its present form follows

It is an operationally separate unit of the Georgia Institute of Technology dedicated to the educational development of technicians and technologists
The purpose of this institution is to provide the students with a working knowledge of various engineering and applied
sources in arriving at his recommendation on the new stati for Southern Tech Among the input considered he said we individual reports from members of the Regents Study Con mittee a vote of faculty members of Southern Tech and di cussions with many groups and individuals from the sti dents faculty members and alumni of both Southern Tec and Georgia Tech and from the Marietta community
A majority of the members of the Regents Study Con mittee voting 6 of 10 favored closer affiliation of Souther Tech and Georgia Tech and a majority of the Southern Tec faculty members voting 67 of 96 favored complete separa tion of the two units Dr Crawford told the Board Tw members of the 13member Committee did not express a pref erence and one member of the Committee who was studyin abroad at the time the individual reports of most of the Com mittee members were submitted did not respond he said Eight of the eligible voters on the Southern Tech faculty did not vote he also said
President Joseph M Pettit of Georgia Tech was requested to describe his concept of closer affiliation of Southern Tech and Georgia Tech Dr Crawford said Dr Pettits response to Dr Crawfords request was made available to both th special Study Committee and the Southern Tech faculty the Acting Chancellor added
Dr Crawfords recommendation to separate Southern Tech nical Institute and make it a senior college did not indicate a Georgia Institute of Technology position for or against the recommendation
Mission of Southern Tech
