The Teaching program houses state funds received by the ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ System of Georgia (ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ) throuogh the funding formula. The state appropriates these funds to the ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ in a lump sum, which the Board of Regents distributes to ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ institutions in accordance with system priorities and needs. The bulk of the ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ’s budget resides in this program which is mainly devoted to funding Resident Instruction activities at the ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ institutions with some funding support for the Public Service Institutes.


8.1.2 Other Organized Activities (formerly “B” & “C” Budgets)

(Last Modified on December 1, 2011)

The Other Organized Activities portion of the ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ’s overall budget is composed of funds the state approrpriates directly to specific entities and “pass-through” line items within the ÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ’s budget. Included in this group are:

  • All former “B” units
  • Research Consortium
  • Special Funding Initiatives
  • Line item “pass through” payments (i.e., payments to the Georgia Military College, Georgia Public Telecommunication Commission, Georgia Cancer Coalition)
  • Any other programs or “pass-through” line items receiving a direct approcpriation outside of the Teaching program.
