Summary
SR728 is a resolution commending the University of South Alabama on the occasion of its 60th anniversary, recognizing its significant contributions to education, health care, and community service in the State of Alabama and the United States. The resolution highlights the university's evolution since its chartering in 1963, which was initiated by local leaders to fill the demand for a four-year institution along the Gulf Coast. It outlines the growth of the university from its initial class of 276 students to over 13,500 currently enrolled in diverse programs across ten colleges and schools.
Contention
While the resolution is largely a non-controversial commending statement, it reflects a broader recognition of the importance of higher education and healthcare institutions in regional development.

The focus remains on celebration and acknowledgment of the university's contributions rather than legislative changes or debates.
