B. CG-DCMS memo 1920 of 27 Jan 2020
1. This ACN announces an update to REF (A) to designate the Deputy for
Personnel Readiness (DCMS-DPR) as the appeal authority for decisions made by the
Superintendent of the Coast Guard Academy to dismiss a cadet.
2. The following change to section 1.E.4.h of REF (A) is in immediate effect:
"The Superintendent, Coast Guard Academy has the authority to terminate a cadet's
appointment on the recommendation of an Executive Board, the Dean of Academics,
or the Commandant of Cadets. The decision by the Superintendent, Coast Guard Academy
to dismiss a cadet may be appealed to Deputy for Personnel Readiness (DCMS-DPR).
The decision on whether a disenrolled cadet who has incurred a service obligation
fulfills that obligation through enlisted service or monetary recoupment shall be
made by COMDT (CG-1). The Superintendent, Coast Guard Academy shall prescribe the
appeal procedures."
3. This change is intended to properly align the appeal process with previously
enacted organizational changes.
4. This change shall also be incorporated into the next revision of REF (A),
which will be released within the next year.
5. General policy questions may be directed to COMDT (CG-1331), at:
