Council Serves as Legislative Body
UGA Hierarchy Resembles Corporation
By CAROLSPRING
Student Body Secretary
In many ways, the University is similar to a large corpora
tion: the University Council is its legislative bodv composed of
the leaders from the administration and faculty, and the Board
of Regents is its board of trustees who finalize all actions of the
University Council and set general policies for all of Georgia s
state institutions.
The University Council is made up of 100 members, both ex
officio and elected. The ex officio members (those which are
chosen by virtue of their office) are the administrators, such as
the president of the University; the vice-president for insturc-
tion; the deans of the schools and colleges: the dean of stu
dents; the comptroller; the directors of libraries, resident in
struction in agriculture, agricultural experiment stations and
extension service, continuing education and his associate and
finally the chairmen of the divisions of the College of Arts and
Sciences These ex officio members never exceed more than
30 percent of the total membership
The other 70 per cent comes from the faculty, who are elect
ed for three-year terms The number of representatives from
each school or college is determined by the size of its faculty in
relation to the entire college faculty.
Meetings are called once a quarter by University President
Fred. C. Davison The most recent special meeting, which may
be called at any time, was held Feb 12 when ROTC was ap
proved as a voluntary two-hour course. This decision was a
combination of recommendations from the Executive Commit
tee. which heard the proposal first from Student Body Vice-
President Randall Seaboit. and the Curriculum Committee
which conducted further studies into the matter
The Executive Committee is probably the most important of
the eight standing committees of the Council Comprising ten
members, one from each school or college, it studies and re
ports to the Council on any question of an educational nature
that affects the interests of the University as a whole For in
stance. the ROTC proposal went to this committee before
being presented to the Council as a whole. SGA is presently
working to have a student on this committee who can
introduce legislation passed by the Student Senate to this
group for its consideration and approval
Three students (the student government ministers of wo
mens affairs, mens affairs, and student affairs) are on the
Student Affairs Committee, consisting of six members and
the dean of student as an ex officio member Basically, it
deals with the rules and regulations and activities
The Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics also has one stu
dent. the student government minister of athletics, and four
other members who set policies for student eligibility in the
athletic program, ticket sales, seating arrangements, and
other areas relative to the general management and con
duct of intercollegiate athletics
The remaining committees (Library Special Convocations.
Admissions. Curriculum, and Standing Committees and Elec
tion) have no student representation The Student Senate, how
ever. is requesting that students have a seat on these commit
tees so that students opinions and views will not be overlooked.
According to Walter Danner, secretary for the University
Council, there would probably be little objection to students
coming before the Council to propose certain bills for it to con
sider In fact, at the last meeting students were invited to come
listen to the proceedings, indicating an open session policy on
the part of the Council
Before legislation of the Council is final, it must be* approved
by the president and the Board of Regents, which oversees all
decisions made by the Council and the President
Georg las Board of Regents is unique in three ways First, it
is the one central governing board of the entire University Sys
tem of Georgia, which encompasses 2b institutions over the
state. Second, as a part of the Constitution of the state of Geor
gia. the Board of Regents cannot be altered in any way except
by Constitutional amendment Third, it has no ex officio mem
ber. thereby eliminating any direct control from the governor’s
office or political party
The members of the Board are appointed by the governor
with the advice and consent of the Senate for staggered terms
of seven years. Thus, two new members are appointed each
year (three are appointed every seventh year), making it im
possible for one governor to pack the Board This system,
therefore, provides for a high degree of autonomy and continui
ty Its 15 members are chosen from the* 10 congressional dis
tricts plus five c hosen at large
John W Langdalc is the chairman, which is primarily a poli
cy making position He is elected for a one year term by the
Board members
The Chancellor. George L. Simpson, is chief administrator
and serves at the pleasure of the Board
The Board of Regents takes recommendations from an Advi
sory Council, made up of all the college presidents of state in
stitutions. and from a Student Advisory Council, made up of the
student body presidents. However, the Board does not neces
sarily pass the proposals submitted by either of these bodies
Ultimately, this is the group which is deciding what curricu
lum a student is enrolled in. how much money he is spending on
tuition and fees and the rules to which the student is subject It
also decides who the college presidents will be as well as ap
prove the faculty and administrators which serve under him It
also approves any construction to be undertaken on campus
The distance from a freshman to the Chancellor of the Board
of Regents is indeed a long way. ranging from a student in the
Senate, to administration and faculty in the University Council,
and finally to the Regent on the Board In a word, the Board of
Regents is the Ultimate in the Hierarchy of Red-Tape
