Registrar's History Home
1994-1999: Richard L. Bayer
Richard Bayer became the University Registrar in November 1994, after four years as registrar at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. He had also worked at UNC-Charlotte, Schenectady County Community College, and Tompkins Cortland Community College.
Bayer held a BA from the University of Buffalo and an M.A. and CERT in East European and Soviet History from Niagara University. He had done further study at the doctoral level at the University of South Carolina.
Bayer came to USC with experience in Total Quality Assurance and systems implementation projects. He positioned the USC Office of the Registrar to enter the 21st century by streamlining procedures, reallocating resources, reorganizing, and moving publications and processes to the Web. His efforts to achieve efficiency through technology continue to influence the office today.
The Registrar's Office goes online. With the launch of ARGO, the Registrar's Office's website, in 1996, course listings and other information became available at the click of a mouse. The original website name referred to the ship from the ancient myth of Jason and the Argonauts.

Bayer left USC in February 1999, to become Dean of Admissions and Records at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. David H. Rembert, Jr., Distinguished Professor Emeritus and former Associate Dean, College of Science and Mathematics, served as Interim Registrar until August 1999.
