  • Georgia Higher Learning and Earnings
    Georgia Higher Learning and Earnings David Evans II January 2017 Executive Summary By 2025, over 60 percent of jobs in Georgia likely will require some form of a college education, whether a certificate, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree.1 Expected earnings are an important factor in making the decision to pursue a certain degree or major, but these data have not previously been publicly available. With this in mind, the Georgia Higher Learning and Earnings Report presents earnings information for Georgia technical college and college/university graduates who work in Georgia after earning their degrees.2 It presents median, 25th percentile, and 75th percentile wages by degree category (certificate, bachelor’s, etc.), technical college or college/university, program of study, and whether the student graduated with the HOPE scholarship/grant for the first and fifth year after graduation. In addition, it explores award patterns by gender and race/ethnicity.3 In addition to degree type and program of study, it is important to note that many factors, such as student ability/motivation, college selectivity, and job market conditions affect earnings, so the results in this report should not be interpreted as a guarantee of employment or earnings. The report is limited to wage data on graduates who work in Georgia for employers that provide wage data to the Georgia Department of Labor, so it does not include wages earned in out-of-state jobs, as an independent contractor, or as a federal or military employee. With this in mind, the results should be seen as one piece of information that students and parents can use when making program and degree choices.

  • Macon State College
    Middle Georgia State University Student Media Bylaws [approved by Student Media Advisory Board, April 2013] Preamble Student Media at Middle Georgia State University consist of The Fall Line Review, KnighTVision, a television lab that supports the newspaper site, and The Statement, the student newspaper. The Fall Line Review and The Statement are open-forum enterprises staffed with students who are free to select the materials to be published without undue criticism or pressure. Student media serving as open forums are valuable aids in establishing and maintaining an atmosphere of free and responsible discussion as well as intellectual exploration on the campus. They are a means of bringing student concerns to the attention of the faculty and the institutional authorities, and of formulating opinions on various issues on the campus and in the world at large. In response to the editorial responsibility of student media, the University must provide sufficient editorial freedom and sufficient financial resources for the student media to maintain their integrity of purpose as vehicles for free inquiry and free expression in an academic community. Institutional authorities have a responsibility to provide written clarification of the role of student media, the standards to be used in their evaluation, and the limitations on external control of their operation. At the same time, the editorial freedom of student editors entails corollary responsibilities to be governed by the canons of responsible journalism, such as the avoidance of libel, indecency, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity, and the techniques of harassment and innuendo. By authority of the Board of Regents and the President of Middle Georgia State University and on behalf of the University community, the Student Media Coordinator presents these bylaws governing specific student media, said bylaws representing the general framework of operations of the Middle Georgia State University Student Media.

    Regent’s Physics and Astronomy Academic Advisory Committee Minutes of the April 30, 2010 meeting The meeting was convened at 10 AM with a quorum. Members present were Mark Edwards, chair (Georgia Southern University), Chris Wozny, (Waycross College), Mark Pergrem, chair-elect (Georgia Highlands College), Malav Shah (Macon State College), Imad El-Jeaid (Middle Georgia College), K.C. Chan (Albany State University), Dick Prior (North Georgia College State University), Charles Johnson (South Georgia College), Leon Jaynes (Armstrong Atlantic State University), Emma Cooley (Dalton State College), Taha Mzoughi (Kennesaw State College), Kim Shaw (Columbus State University), Ntungwa Maasha (Coastal Georgia Community College), Martin Okafor (Georgia Perimeter College), Bill Dennis (University of Georgia), Michael Pangia (Georgia College & State University), Shawn Seat (Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College), Brian Thoms (Georgia State University), Judy Awong-Taylor (BOR) 1) An update from Judy Awong-Taylor led to two separate discussions about online physics courses and lab fees. A polling of the institutions represented showed that the approach to online physics courses ranges from hybrid online to fully online courses with students meeting only for labs and tests. Lab fees vary from institution to institution but range from $15 to $35. 2) The necessary credentials and qualifications for teaching introductory astronomy courses were discussed. A motion was put forward that the committee recommend that the qualifications for teaching a physics course are also acceptable for teaching an introductory astronomy course. This motion passed unanimously. 3) A preparatory course for PHYS 2211 was discussed. Difficulties with crediting the course, especially for two year institutions, were cited. Also how such a course might affect the prerequisites for PHYS 2211 was discussed.
