HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

This section does not change the present method of administration

of the Academy. It makes statutory what has been administrative

regulation heretofore, and it is believed highly desirable to make

the control of an institution of such national interest as the

Academy the subject of a statute.

This section is new. There is no provision in existing law which

establishes the Academy and sets it up as an operating unit. Nor

is there any provision which creates the office of Superintendent

of the Academy, or prescribes his duties and functions. Heretofore

this has been accomplished by regulations, and the laws which deal

with the Academy assume its existence as a going institution and

assume the existence of the Superintendent with certain defined

functions and duties. This section continues the Academy as

previously established, provides for the appointment of the

Superintendent by the Commandant, and defines in general terms his

functions. The Academy would thus be placed on a definite

statutory basis, and the office of Superintendent would be a

statutory position, but the present administration of the Academy

would in no way be interfered with. 81st Congress, House Report No.

Sec. 182. Cadets; number, appointment, obligation to serve

-STATUTE-

(a) The number of cadets appointed annually to the Academy shall

be as determined by the Secretary but the number appointed in any

one year shall not exceed six hundred. Appointments to cadetships

shall be made under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, who

shall determine age limits, methods of selection of applicants,

term of service as a cadet before graduation, and all other matters

affecting such appointments. All such appointments shall be made

without regard to the sex, race, color, or religious beliefs of an

applicant. In the administration of this chapter, the Secretary

shall take such action as may be necessary and appropriate to

insure that female individuals shall be eligible for appointment

and admission to the Coast Guard Academy, and that the relevant

standards required for appointment, admission, training,

graduation, and commissioning of female individuals shall be the

same as those required for male individuals, except for those

minimum essential adjustments in such standards required because of

physiological differences between male and female individuals. The

Secretary may summarily dismiss from the Coast Guard any cadet who,

during his cadetship, is found unsatisfactory in either studies or

conduct, or may be deemed not adapted for a career in the Coast

Guard. Cadets shall be subject to rules governing discipline

prescribed by the Commandant.

(b) Each cadet shall sign an agreement with respect to the

cadet's length of service in the Coast Guard. The agreement shall

provide that the cadet agrees to the following:

(1) That the cadet will complete the course of instruction at

the Coast Guard Academy.

(2) That upon graduation from the Coast Guard Academy the cadet

-

(A) will accept an appointment, if tendered, as a

commissioned officer of the Coast Guard; and

(B) will serve on active duty for at least five years

immediately after such appointment.

(3) That if an appointment described in paragraph (2) is not

tendered or if the cadet is permitted to resign as a regular

officer before the completion of the commissioned service

obligation of the cadet, the cadet -

(A) will accept an appointment as a commissioned officer in

the Coast Guard Reserve; and

(B) will remain in that reserve component until completion of

the commissioned service obligation of the cadet.

(c)(1) The Secretary may transfer to the Coast Guard Reserve, and

may order to active duty for such period of time as the Secretary

prescribes (but not to exceed four years), a cadet who breaches an

agreement under subsection (b). The period of time for which a

cadet is ordered to active duty under this paragraph may be

determined without regard to section 651(a) of title 10.

(2) A cadet who is transferred to the Coast Guard Reserve under

paragraph (1) shall be transferred in an appropriate enlisted grade

or rating, as determined by the Secretary.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1), a cadet shall be

considered to have breached an agreement under subsection (b) if

the cadet is separated from the Coast Guard Academy under

circumstances which the Secretary determines constitute a breach by

the cadet of the cadet's agreement to complete the course of

instruction at the Coast Guard Academy and accept an appointment as

a commissioned officer upon graduation from the Coast Guard

Academy.

(d) The Secretary shall prescribe regulations to carry out this

section. Those regulations shall include -

(1) standards for determining what constitutes, for the purpose

of subsection (c), a breach of an agreement under subsection (b);

(2) procedures for determining whether such a breach has

occurred; and

(3) standards for determining the period of time for which a

person may be ordered to serve on active duty under subsection

(c).

(e) In this section, ''commissioned service obligation'', with

respect to an officer who is a graduate of the Academy, means the

period beginning on the date of the officer's appointment as a

commissioned officer and ending on the sixth anniversary of such

appointment or, at the discretion of the Secretary, any later date

up to the eighth anniversary of such appointment.

(f)(1) This section does not apply to a cadet who is not a

citizen or national of the United States.

(2) In the case of a cadet who is a minor and who has parents or

a guardian, the cadet may sign the agreement required by subsection

(b) only with the consent of the parent or guardian.

The last sentence of this section is new, being included in order

to allow for adjusting the working time and leave of civilian

instructors in conformity with the academic terms at the Academy.

The work load of an instructor varies greatly, and flexibility in

administration of a faculty is therefore essential. The leave

provided for civil service employees does not fit the needs of an

instruction staff, and this has been a source of difficulty in the

past. This new provision would permit leave during the summer and

between academic terms without deduction from pay, and, it is

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15b, 15c (Apr. 16,

1937, ch. 107, Sec. 1, 2, 50 Stat. 66; May 2, 1942, ch. 273, 56

Stat. 265).

Section 15b of title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., has been divided.

Part of the provisions of the first sentence is placed in this

section, while other provisions are placed in section 188 of this

title.

Section 15c of title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., has been divided. The

last sentence is incorporated in this section, while the other

provisions are placed in section 189 of this title.

The composition of the teaching staff at the Academy is changed

materially on the recommendation of the Academic Board and the

Advisory Committee. The scope of duty of members of the staff is

enlarged to include whatever the Commandant prescribes.

Title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15b provides for five professors

as heads or assistant heads of departments at the Academy. The

Academic Board of the Academy and the Advisory Committee, after

extensive study have recommended the change, as provided in this

section, to three professors and twelve others on the permanent

teaching staff, with designations to conform generally with the

designations and grades of faculty members at other universities.

The librarian is given faculty status because of the role of the

library as the center of the modern university; this is in

conformity with the practice of other higher educational

institutions. It is believed that the increased number of

permanent commissioned instructors is justified and desirable in

view of the expansion of the Cadet Corps as the full effect of the

return to a four-year course is felt. It is probable that, in the

next few years, the number of cadets will approximate 450. The

average number in the past two years has been about 300. This new

set-up for the permanent commissioned teaching staff will permit

desirable exchanges of professors with leading universities, and

occasional sabbatical leaves in order to better the faculty

generally. It is pointed out that this increase in permanent

instructors does not increase the authorized number of officers in

the Coast Guard, as they are all included in the limitation

provided in section 42 of this title. If a teaching position at

the Academy is not provided for permanently it will require the

assignment of an additional regular officer, so it is apparent that

the changes proposed in this section do not increase the size of

the Service, or the expense, but represent a long-range plan to

better the Academy as a leading educational institution within the

present, recognized, standards for a proper university faculty.

The last sentence retains the command status of the professors as

provided in existing law but enlarges the field in which they may

perform duty, in order to make it possible to give them interim

assignments other than at the Academy, thus broadening their

knowledge of the Service while still advantageously utilizing their

services. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

AMENDMENTS

1960 - Pub. L. 86-474 substituted ''shall consist of professors,

associate professors, assistant professors and instructors, in such

numbers as the needs of the Service require'' for ''shall consist

of not more than three professors who may serve as heads of

departments, and not more than twelve associate professors,

Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15b (Apr. 16, 1937, ch.

107, Sec. 1, 50 Stat. 66; May 2, 1942, ch. 273, 56 Stat. 265).

Said section has been divided. That part of the first sentence

which provides for the composition of the teaching staff is

incorporated in section 187 of this title. The other provisions

are incorporated in this section, except for the proviso which has

been omitted as no longer needed.

This section incorporates the following changes because of the

new plan for the permanent teaching staff: the President is

authorized to appoint a candidate to any of the grades prescribed;

and the probationary term, applicable unless the candidate has

served in the Coast Guard as prescribed in this section, is

increased from two to four years. Authorization for appointment in

any grade is deemed desirable in order to permit the acquisition of

outstanding instructors for the staff. It is believed that the

former two-year period was too short to fully evaluate the

capabilities of a temporary appointee. 81st Congress, House Report

No. 557.

AMENDMENTS

1976 - Pub. L. 94-546 substituted ''grade in which permanently

appointed'' for ''rank in which permanently appointed''.

1960 - Pub. L. 86-474 substituted ''and instructors who are to

serve'' for ''and commissioned instructors who are to serve'', and

''civilian member of the teaching staff'' for ''civilian

instructor''.

Professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and

instructors in the Coast Guard shall be subject to retirement or

discharge from active service for any cause on the same basis as

other commissioned officers of the Coast Guard, except that they

shall not be required to retire from active service under the

provisions of section 288 of this title, nor shall they be subject

to the provisions of section 289 of this title, nor shall they be

required to retire at age sixty-two but may be permitted to serve

until age sixty-four at which time unless earlier retired or

separated they shall be retired. The Secretary may retire any

member of the permanent commissioned teaching staff who has

completed thirty years' active service. Service as a civilian

member of the teaching staff at the Academy in addition to

creditable service authorized by any other law in any of the

military services rendered prior to an appointment as a professor,

associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor shall be

credited in computing length of service for retirement purposes.

The provisions of law relating to retirement for disability in line

of duty shall not apply in the case of a professor, associate

Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15f (Apr. 16, 1937, ch.

107, Sec. 5, 50 Stat. 67).

The provision prohibiting the retirement of a professor because

of physical disability with less than 15 years' service is changed

to have application only during the temporary appointment of a

professor.

This section provides for the retirement of associate professors,

assistant professors, and commissioned instructors in addition to

professors. It is believed that the provision of existing law

requiring 15 years' service before becoming eligible for

retirement, discriminated against this group of officers as no

other group was discriminated against, and should be eliminated.

It was changed so that these officers would be ineligible for

retirement during their probationary term only.

Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No.

AMENDMENTS

1970 - Pub. L. 91-278 permitted permanent teachers to retire at

member of the permanent commissioned teaching staff who has

members from retirement from active service under section 288 of

1960 - Pub. L. 86-474 substituted ''civilian member of the

who shall serve without pay (or, in the case of a member of the

Committee who is an officer or employee of the United States, who

shall receive no additional pay on account of his service on the

Committee). Members of the Advisory Committee shall be appointed

for terms of not to exceed three years and may be reappointed. The

Secretary shall, in June of each year, appoint one of the members

to serve as chairman. The members so appointed shall visit the

Academy at least once during the academic year on the call of the

chairman and may convene once each year at Headquarters, at the

call of the Commandant, for the purpose of examining the course of

instruction and advising the Commandant relative thereto. Each

member of the Committee shall be reimbursed from Coast Guard

appropriations in conformity with the provisions of chapter 57 of

title 5. The Secretary shall, not less often than once a year,

publish notice in the Federal Register for solicitation of

nominations for membership on the Advisory Committee. The Advisory

Committee is authorized to make available to Congress any

information, advice, and recommendations which the Advisory

Committee is authorized to give to the Secretary or the Commandant.

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 15g (Apr. 16, 1937, ch.

107, Sec. 6, 50 Stat. 67).

Said section dealing with the Advisory Committee is changed to

increase the number of persons thereon to 7, the source from which

appointments could be made is broadened to include other than

educators, the term of appointment is fixed as 3 years, and

provision is made for the appointment of the chairman by the

Secretary.

This section changes existing law as follows: the field from

which appointment may be made is broadened, the limit of membership

is increased from five to seven, a provision for appointment of a

chairman by the Secretary is added, and the term of service is

established as three years. It is believed that the membership of

not to exceed seven will provide greater flexibility in view of the

new three year term of service, and will permit appointment of a

committee with wider interests. The fact that no term of service

has been provided for heretofore has been a source of confusion and

difficulty and some term should be specified. The existing law

provides for appointment from the field of education; this is

enlarged to include other fields relating to purposes of the

Academy, in order, primarily, to permit selection from shipping,

business, and industry. No provision has been made for selection

of a chairman heretofore, and this has caused some uncertainty in

the functioning of the Committee; annual appointment seems

desirable.

AMENDMENTS

1991 - Pub. L. 102-241 substituted ''1994'' for ''1992''.

service of an officer or employee of the United States as a member

Committee and for disclosures to Congress.
