AUD is approved to operate by the State of Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (NPEC). Forums are classified as public or nonpublic. The auditors noted that errors in reporting nonpublic pupils transported resulted in overpayments of $72,765. The act regulated the state's government agencies' abilities to access nonpublic consumer information. A nonpublic forum is not specially designated as open to public expression. Traditional public forums cannot be changed to nonpublic forums by governments. A nonpublic General Security Force Court trial conducted in 1996 led to their acquittal. But he was dismissed from the Army, following a nonpublic Article 15 proceeding. Nonpublic forums include airport terminals and internal mail systems.
