§ 181. Administration of Academy
The immediate government and military command of the Coast Guard Academy shall be in
the Superintendent of the Academy, subject to
the direction of the Commandant under the general supervision of the Secretary. The Commandant may select a superintendent from the
active list of the Coast Guard who shall serve in
the pleasure of the Commandant.
(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 508.)
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.

§ 181a. Cadet applicants; preappointment travel
to Academy
The Secretary is authorized to expend appropriated funds for selective preappointment travel to the Academy for orientation visits of cadet
applicants.
(Added Pub. L. 98–557, § 24(a), Oct. 30, 1984, 98
Stat. 2872.)
§ 182. Cadets; number, appointment, obligation to
serve
(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
