§ 1901. 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.

heading: Historical and Revision Notes
text: 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. 557.

14 U.S.C. § 1904 (COAST GUARD)
§ 1904. Participation in Federal, State, or other educational research grants
(a) In General.—
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the United States Coast Guard Academy may compete for and accept Federal, State, or other educational research grants, subject to the following limitations:
(1) No award may be accepted for the acquisition or construction of facilities.
(2) No award may be accepted for the routine functions of the Academy.
(b) Qualified Organizations.—
(1) In general.—
The Commandant may—
(A) enter into a contract, cooperative agreement, lease, or licensing agreement with a qualified organization;
(B) allow a qualified organization to use, at no cost, personal property of the Coast Guard; and
(C) notwithstanding section 504, accept funds, supplies, and services from a qualified organization.
(2) Sole-source basis.—
Notwithstanding chapter 65 of title 31 and chapter 137 of title 10, the Commandant may enter into a contract or cooperative agreement under paragraph (1)(A) on a sole-source basis.
(3) Maintaining fairness, objectivity, and integrity.—
The Commandant shall ensure that contributions under this subsection do not—
(A) reflect unfavorably on the ability of the Coast Guard, any of its employees, or any member of the armed forces to carry out any responsibility or duty in a fair and objective manner; or
(B) compromise the integrity or appearance of integrity of any program of the Coast Guard, or any individual involved in such a program.
(4) Limitation.—
For purposes of this subsection, employees or personnel of a qualified organization shall not be employees of the United States.
(5) Qualified organization defined.—
In this subsection the term “qualified organization” means an organization—
(A) described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and exempt from taxation under section 501(a) of that Code; and
(B) established by the Coast Guard Academy Alumni Association solely for the purpose of supporting academic research and applying for and administering Federal, State, or other educational research grants on behalf of the Coast Guard Academy.

An original appointment to the permanent commissioned teaching staff, unless the appointee has served as a civilian member of the teaching staff, regular commissioned officer, temporary commissioned officer, or reserve commissioned officer in the Coast Guard, shall be a temporary appointment until the appointee has satisfactorily completed a probationary term of four years of service; thereafter he may be regularly appointed and his rank shall date from the date of his temporary appointment in the grade in which permanently appointed.
