OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
University boards and directors abolished and regents established in their place.
- It was not the intent of the General Assembly to repeal any of the laws creating the institutions comprising the University of Georgia or its branches; the effect of this statute was merely to abolish the boards of trustees or directors of these institutions and establish in the board's place the Regents of the University System of Georgia. 1970 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 70-173.
Former Code 1933, § 32-911, strictly construed, applied only to county boards of education and should not be extended by construction or implication so as to repeal or amend the constitutional and statutory provisions applicable to the powers of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to make rules and regulations with respect to entrance requirements for any of the university's institutions, including admission requirements concerning physical examinations, vaccination against smallpox, and immunization against tetanus and poliomyelitis. 1960-61 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 571 (rendered under former Code 1933, § 32-911, prior to revision by Ga. L. 1981, p. 756, § 1).
Board of regents may promulgate such rules regulating students' off-campus housing as are reasonably necessary to the government, control, and management of the institution and its purpose of providing an education to the students; if the board finds it necessary that students living in off-campus facilities remain in such facilities for a specific period of time, it would be in order to promulgate a rule to that effect. 1967 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 67-59.
