T H E CITY UNIVERSITY O F N E W YORK Office of the Chancellor 535 East Eightieth Street New York, N. Y. 10021

M E M O R A N D U M To : The Administrative Council Date: November 3, 1966 From: Albert H.Bowker Subject: The Staffing of Our Faculties: Ability

and Distinction The staffing of the faculties of the City University, both a t the undergraduate and a t the

graduate level, has two major aspects. First comes the retention of the extremely able scholars and teachers now on our staff, and the acquisition of others at the same high level of ability. Second is the attraction to our faculties of a relatively small but very important number of extraordinarily distinguished professors in the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. The two aspects are interconnected: the latter will not come, however enticing the offer, unless their colleagues in large part fall into the category which we have called "extremely able." The University will be in a better position to retain and attract the very able by the fact that they are to serve on faculties that have been deemed worthy of association by those of extraordinary distinction. HOW has the City University been doing on these two fronts?

I n the first sector, that of the retention and attraction of very able faculty, we once were the beneficiaries of a salary scale considerably above the nation-wide level. This compensated in great measure for our earlier fifteen-hour teaching schedule and for the cramped conditions under which the faculties worked. As the dollar superiority of the City University salary scale has waned through the general rise in professorial compensation, we have been able partially to offset this by

reducing teaching loads to approach the national average. The introduction of graduate work on a broad scale has stimulated the interest of present faculty and helped to recruit excellent new profes-sors. Though office space and secretarial help are still far short of desirable standards, the first defect bids fair to be alleviated by our City University construction program; the second is slowly but surely being overcome by the infusion of more funds for faculty secretarial support: some $300,000 have just been allotted for this purpose. A stepped-up program of fringe benefits adds to the material attractiveness of our recruiting offers; once the alternative of a TIAA pension plan along side of the Teachers Retirement System is confirmed, we shall do even better here. I n sum, though there is no reason for a complacent relaxation of our efforts, the University is making good progress, and will continue in the same pattern with every hope of success.

I n the second sector, that of attracting a number of extraordinarily eminent and brilliant scholars and teachers, we have really just begun to fight.

The appointment of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. to the Albert Schweitzer Professorship in the Humanities under the auspices of the Regents of the State, with an appropriation granted by the State Legislature, furnishes both a brilliant start and a sign-post for the future.

The institution of the named chair is a time-honored one in the great universities of this country. I t adds lustre not only to the university and to the professorial occupant of the chair, but to the donor or the person whom the donor wishes the chair to commemorate.

Such named chairs need not be limited to the recognition of scientific or other scholarly eminence. The chair can be used, particularly a t the undergraduate level, to furnish striking recognition for those professors, either found within our University or attracted from without, who have distinguished themselves as truly great classroom teachers.

The State-endowed chairs in the humanities and the sciences are, of course, limited in number. The City University could hope at most to get one more. How, then, can we proceed?

A named chair here at thy City University does not have to be capitalized to cover the cost of the entire salary of the occupant. I t may take the form of a professorship in which the basic salary comes from tax-levy sources, the supplement from endowment. City College is already doing this with two chairs, one made possible by a supplement of $10,000 from the Wollman Fund beyond the budget line salary for a distinguished .visiting professor, the second by an annual supplement of $2,000 beyond the budget line salary from a fund contributed by the publishers of an outstanding text written by a faculty member, Professor Mark Zemansky.

Before proceeding further, let us look at the practices in other institutions with regard to over-scale salaries. Many use the designation of "distinguished professors" rather than the establishment of named chairs. We prefer the named chair as less invidious and more in accord with longstanding academic tradition here and in England.

A survey by the National Education Association of 1965-66 salaries indicated that' there were 42 colleges and universities paying salaries of $24,000 and more to 221 full-time instructional staff members. These do not include medical schools. Of 42 institutions granting such salaries, 18 were public universities, 22 were non-public universities, and 2 were non-public colleges. (See Appendix A )

Five individual universities supplied the following information with respect to such salaries but asked that the institutions not be identified by name.

University A (Public) has 30 who are paid nine-month salaries of $25,000 or more with a maximum of $32,500 in such fields as physics, chemistry, law, mathematics. sociology, biochemistry and molecular biology, psychology, and economics. Approval of salaries beyond the normal maximum requires review by a faculty committee and approval by the top administrative officer and the university board. University B (Private) reports 30 faculty members whose salaries are $25,000 or more. Such salaries are paid in medicine, law, anthropology, economics, physics, mathematics, English, sociology, regional science, and chemistry. Approval is based on the collective judg-ment of a few people in the administration. Approval of the trustees is not required. At University C (Private), 10 professors, exclusive of those in the medical school, have salaries of $25,000 or more, in departments of philosophy, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and law. Salaries in excess of $25,000 must have prior approval by the board of trustees. At University D (Public), about 8 distinguished professors receive salaries above $22,500, but no details are ,available as to amounts paid. Salaries beyond $22,500 must be cleared with the board and the State budget officer. At University E (Public), from 15 to 18 professors receive salaries in the $25,000-plus range. Such salaries go through the dean of the college to the provost for approval and to the board of trustees for final action.

The executive director of the American Mathematical Society reports that there are at least 25 mathematicians in colleges and universities with salaries of $25,000 or more for the academic year 1966-67.

Criteria used in deciding upon the appointment of professors at overscale salaries include "professional eminence"; "on the basis of the quality of the person, primarily in terms of his scholarship, professional stature, and contribution to the institution"; "individuals who are . . . . widely known and are not only distinguished in their own fields but are of sufficient stature to merit the respect of the entire university community." Appointments are made both from within and

from outside the university. Above-scale salaries are sometimes paid from the university budget, sometimes from specially granted funds, and sometimes from budget and supplementary funds.

The proposal which we should like to make here is the following: A joint committee of Board, faculty, and alumni should, we recommend, be set u p to mount a

campaign for gifts and grants which will make possible the conversion of ordinary professorial lines into named chairs. The existence of such a committee should not inhibit the efforts of individual presidents, faculty members, or alumni in furthering the establishment of such chairs.

The sum of $100,000 should be set as a minimum to make such a conversion possible. With a n income of some $4,000-$5,000 or more a year, each unit of $100,000 or more would make possible, a t present rates, a salary of $26,000 or better for the named professor.

Alumni of our older institutions could, for example, raise funds to establish a Townsend Harris Chair in the Physical Sciences, a Thomas Hunter Chair in the Social Sciences, a Paul Klapper or Har ry D. Gideonse Chair in Education or Economics. Family foundations might be persuaded to establish chairs named after a prominent relative: the honor to the donors would be a very sub-stantial return for a relatively small investment. W e assume throughout this discussion that regular University and college procedures will be followed in screening, selecting, and recommending candi-dates for such chairs.

Although it is anticipated that the majority of the chairs which might be established through the foregoing procedure will be located a t the senior colleges or the graduate center, nothing that is said above is intended to preclude the foundation of named chairs a t the community colleges, particularly in the area of truly great teaching.

A small but significant number of chairs might be established to meet the needs of brilliant scholars for whom additional salary is not the main issue, but who will come to us only if somewhat unconventional schedules of residence on campus can be arranged. I n these instances, no extra funds would be needed, but the Chancellor, and, where appropriate, the President of the College or the Dean of the program concerned would have to certify that the services of the distinguished scholar, performed a t times not in accord with the ordinary academic calendar, would none the less fulfill the spirit of the foregoing recommendations regarding the establishment of named chairs.

The following resolutions a r e proposed: RESOLVED, Tha t the Board of Higher Education authorize the establishment of named

chairs in the various disciplines represented a t the City University a t both the undegraduate and the graduate level; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Chairman of the Board and the Chancellor be requested to name a joint committee of Board, Faculty and Alumni to institute a campaign for gifts and grants to make possible the conversion of professorial lines into such named chairs.

S T A T E M E N T O F I N T E N T A N D P R O P O S E D G U I D E L I N E S REGARDING N A M E D C H A I R S

1. Aim. The basic aim of the named chairs is to enhance teaching by attracting outstanding , faculty. I t is especially essential that many professors who hold named chairs have frequent contact with undergraduates, including some teaching assignment a t the lower division (freshman and sopho-more) level.

2. Source of Appointees. I n filling chairs i t is appropriate, a s opportunities and requirements may arise, to seek a balance between persons already on the University faculty and individuals from outside the University.

3 . Assignments. I t is contemplated that a significant portion of named chair holders be based a t the colleges of the University.

4. Regular Salaries. Creation of named chairs in no way diminishes the urgent need to keep regular salary schedules a t highly competitive levels.

5 . Use of Professorial Lines. The Board of Higher Edmucation will continue to work toward the creation of additional lines in keeping with the University's growing needs. Presented by Professor Belle Zeller to the Committee on the Academic Program at i ts meeting held

RESOLUTEON W H E R E A S by resolution dated January 19, 1967, Legislative Conference expressed its approval

of the proposal to obtain funds for the establishment of named chairs subject, however to the provisos that (1) new lines be provided therefor and (2) persons already members of the CUNY faculty be eligible for appointment thereto; and

W H E R E A S safeguards are necessary in establishing named chairs in order to obviate the undesirable features of a "star system" in faculty appointments;

W H E R E A S in all respects, except as to title and compensation, it is desirable that the occupant of a named chair be treated as a regular member of the faculty and of his department and subject to the responsibilities thereof;

NOW, therefore, be it R E S O L V E D that Legislative Conference reaffirms its resolution of January 19, 1967; and be

it fur ther R E S O L V E D that the said Resolution be supplemented by incorporating the following additional

provisos :

1. Where the donor does not specifically state a field of learning, the appropriate College Committee on Personnel and Budget assign the named chair to a field of learning.

2. The department committee on appointments recommend the appointment to such named chair.

3. The appointee be expected to engage in teaching and research. 4. T h e appointee be expected to serve on departmental and college-wide or university-wide

commi.ttees. 5. Tenure be determined by the provisions of the By-Laws of the Board of Highet Educa-

tion. 6. Approximately one-half of the named chairs be filled by persons already members of the

CUNY faculty; and be it further RESOLVED, that such other and further safeguards, as may be necessary and proper to

effectuate the purposes hereof, be incorporated in the regulations applying to named chairs. Dated: New York

F A C U L T Y S T A F F I N G : D I S T I N G U I S H E D P R O F E S S O R S The Board is presented here with a policy issue of major importance which has many facets to it.

The proposal before us raises serious questions which the Board should consider before it takes any action. It requires further study a.nd we need much more information than we have before us a t this time if we are to reach a n intelligent decision.

Here are just some of the problems, as I see them; there may be others.

T H E D I S T I N G U I S H E D PROFESSOR-ACADEMIC S N O B

The "distinguished professorship" or "faculty chair" i s becoming a new form of academic snobbery. Such a professor has been well-called by an authority on higher education an "academic itinerant for whom a reputation in his profession Cis1 more important than any commitment to his particular institution." [Rudolph, Frederick (Professor of History, Williams College), "The American College and University" (1965), p. 408.7. The same author compares the bidding by universities against each other for "big names" to what once happened with college football coaches Cpp. 391-3921.

Writing in his inimitable witty manner, Russel Baker described just such a professor in his "Observer" column in the New York Times of January 8, 1967:

"The world of scholarship was rocked again this week when Egbert 'Big Cranium' Daddlesforth announced that he was jumping his five-year contract with the University of Sweetgum to take over the $150,000 Fendeep Chair in American History a t Oakstud A. & M.

"It was the Big Cranium's third campus jump in three years and there was a hint that the parting had not been all sweetness and light when Sweetguin president Frank Smithers told a news conference, 'Professor Daddlesforth spent more time with his tax accountant during the last year than he did with "The Federalist Papers".'

"If Sweetgum was disillusioned, however, Oakstud A. & M. was delighted. Long known as just another boiler factory in the turpentine belt, Oakstud was serving notice that it was pre-paring to move into the academic big-time.

"With Egbert Daddlesforth, it is taking on one of the most successful professors in the business. After inspecting Oaltstud's facilities, the professor told reporters, 'After we 'get a library built here and put in a few typewriters, I thinlr I can put together a book within three years that will rank among the top ten on every best-seller list in the country'.

f * X

" ' It doesn't matter whether you research or teach,' he once told a team of starry-eyed Ph.D.'s recruited from Yale, 'but how often you publish a book.' H e is the creator of the two-platoon authorship-the practice of having one team of graduate students write the first half of his books while another is composing the second half-and is the father of the seminar handoff, a maneuver in which the professor hands his seminars off to assistants, then fades out to lunch with his literary agent." President H a r r y Gideonse, in his article in "The College and the Student" C1966; a t p. 401,

quotes with approval from a paper prepared for the American Philosophical Society by Gerard Piel, publisher of "Scientific American", on the subject of research grants, which is just as applicable to the subject of "distinguished professors":

"The senior member of the faculty is chronically engaged in negotiations for the renewal of

his project contracts and grants, and he 'comes to think of the granting agencies as his alma mater, his "true source of nourishment",' identifying hinlself ever 'more closely with his colleagues

and competitors around the country than with his fellow faculty members'. H e even regards con-tributions to the overhead of his own ulliversity as deductions from 'his' grant and he bargains them away in negotiations for the 'transfer' of his grant to a less scrupulous administration elsewhere." From personal inquiries I have learned that all too often a "distinguished professor" either rests

on his laurels, or he goes on to even greener pastures if he is offered a higher salary a t another university.

I1 T H E ROLE O F T H E PROFESSOR: TEACHING

versus RESEARCH Throughout the academic world a debate is going on as to whether the primary role of the profes-

sor is to teach or to do research. Gerald P. Burns, in "Trustees in Higher Education" C1966, at pp. 96-97] says:

"* * * [Elvery reasonable educational leader will accept the dictum that the first responsi-bility of the schools, colleges and universities is to teach.

"When that logical dictum is disregarded, a major facet of education is ignored. Granted that a great state university has three main functions-teaching, research and service--teaching and learning must come first. The student must not become, as President Logan Wilson of the American Council on Education warns, 'the forgotten man' on campus.

* * * "* * *[A]mong the ways to minimize serious student revolt * * * is to employ more teachers

and fewer researchers, consultants and clinicians." Dr. Burns also points out Cat p. 1521 "that the student body is the primary reason for the

existence of the institution, and the trustees should take cognizance of this fact." The same view was expressed by the New York Times in an editorial, "Nihilism at Berkeley"

[December 4, 19661, in which, speaking of the student uprising on the Berkeley campus two years ago, it said:

"The successful revolt had the further healthy effect of highlighting the individual student's submergence in the vastness of the 'multiversity', with its increasing conc.entration on research grants and Government contracts." Our own colleague, Dr. Frederick Burkhardt, has written [in "The College and the Student",

supra, pp. 209-101 : "Excellence in teaching must be recognized and rewarded more than it is a t present. * * * * "* * * * Effective teaching does not follow naturally from competence in scholarship * * *."

Writing in the same book Cat pp. 196-71, Professor Frederick L. Gwyn [Chairman, English Department, Trinity College] says:

"My guess is that underneath' the current activisim, as underneath the more familiar academic apathy of students back through the Silent, Progressive and Lost Generation, is an expanding vacuum, the result of a half-century of weak teaching that insults students by not paying enough attention to them.

* * * *

"Inefficient teaching probably cannot be traced to the professor's lack of knowledge or of preparation: the student's complaint has often been 'He knows his stuff but he can't get it across', and most teachers may even overprepare their information." Dr. John J. Corson, in "Governance of Colleges and Universities" [1960; at pp. 150 and 1521

writes :

"* * * [T lhe prospect of publication or of advancement in his field through significant research results will often incline a professor to neglect teaching, particularly of undergraduates, in favor of research.

* * * *

"* * * But research can consume faculty time needed for undergraduate teaching; the effort to produce research scientists can dissipate resources also needed to educate men in other professions and as citizens; the prestige of investigation can overshadow the importance of good teaching (even in institutions concentrating on teaching, the research scholar may enjoy greater prestige than his colleague who concentrates on teaching)."

The New York Times Book Review section of January 8, 1967, printed a review of "The Contemporary University: U. S. A.", a collection of essays by authorities in the field of higher education. One of the essays is by President W. Allen Wallis of Rochester, who, to quote the reviewer "criticizes the universities as 'wheelers and dealers', and would return them to the central purpose of teaching and the search for knowledge 'not even f o r its own sake so much as for the sake of the search'." The late Dean William C. Devane of Yale "deplores the decline of undergraduate teaching ( a theme running through all of the essays)***". Dean Frederic W. Heimberger of Ohio State University, in his essay, says that the most critical problem facing higher education is "building sufficient faculty strength to provide high qzlality instrzlction for students in unprecedented numbers". The review concludes:

"Dr. [Kenneth] Keniston's [Yale psychiatrist] fellow authors would undoubtedly agree with his final comment that society's greatest long-range need is for 'more whole and integrated men and women who can bring educated minds to both personal and private life'. Perhaps the univer-sity's major role is to contribute to this goal."

How do "distinguished professors' contribute to this goal? I n the December 1966 issue of Harper's Magazine, an article by Gross and Murphy on "New York's Late-Blooming State University" [at p. 941 says:

"Some undergraduates complain that even now they never get to see the big-name professors whom SUNY is so proud of attracting."

'

That SUNY is not unique in this regard is clear from an article, "Who Wants to Teach Under-graduate~?", by Professor Andrew Hacker of Cornell in the December 17, 1966 issue of the Saturday Review. Writing about "the competition among universities to stud their faculties with stars", Profes-sor Hacker says:

"Expansion in undergraduate enrollments is taking place not in the colleges, which are holding their student bodies relatively constant, but in the large universities that are simultaneously admitting more graduate students. The prospect is that given a steady, or even decreasing, ratio of professors to students, less attention is bound to be paid to the undergraduates. American undergraduates will have to accustom themselves to large lectures, absentee professors and instruc-tion by teaching assistants. For solace they can look forward to the day when they will be graduate students and thus entitled to come within conversational distance of a professor." This is confirmed by a news item in the New York Times of December 27, 1966, on the report by

a faculty committee a t City College that CUNY's graduate program "draws off professors and replaces them in the undergraduate program by less qualified lecturers."

I11 EFFECT ON PRESENT FACULTY MEMBERS

The Colleges which comprise our City University have for many years enjoyed a most enviable reputation for high scholastic achievement. This justified reputation could not have been earned and maintained without the presence on our faculties of hundreds of dedicated and able teachers. What would be the effect on these faculty members of the creation of such "distinguished professorships"?

We are told in the Chancellor's Memorandum that the adoption of this proposal will put CUNY "in a better position to retain and attract the very able by the fact that they are to serve on faculties that have been deemed worthy of association by those of extraordinary distinction". I seriously doubt whether this will happen. On the contrary, it is more likely to cause dissatisfaction and resentment among the very able teachers now at our several colleges who have for years been kept at the Assistant or Associate Professor levels. ' We might well devote ourselves to seeking ways of promoting some of these teachers rather than looking for academic prima donnas and embarking on fund-raising campaigns in order to acquire them.

The AGB Reports, which all of us on the Board receive, had an interesting article in the December 1966 issue dealing with this subject-"Teaching, Publishing, and Perishing", by Peter N. Stearns [Assistant Professor of History, University of Chicago]. It states (at p. 17):

"* * * The institution which suddenly decides to enter the major leagues may dismiss or down grade some established faculty, without regard to teaching ability, and unnerve much of the remainder. * * * And many of these institutions have massive student bodies, requiring great attention to teaching. In spending the huge sums necessary to attract prestigious names, are they making the wisest use of their resources? Are they relegating teaching duties to an under-privileged mass of overburdened people, often including many graduate students?" The underlying resentment among our faculty members against such a program is evident in the

City College faculty committee report on CUNY's graduate program, to which I referred earlier. I t is even more evident from the feature article on our graduate program by Fred Hechinger in the New York Times of December 29, 1966.

That this faculty resentment is widespread appears from a number of letters to the editor of the Saturday Review, in its issue of January 21, 1967, in response to Professor Hacker's article from which I quoted earlier.

Striking out at the academic "stars" who disdain working with undergraduates, a professor at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, writes of -

d d . ~ * .E the significant number of true intellectuals who bring to college teaching the best in dili-gence, training, and scholarly awareness * * *. I t is through these dedicated and able people that undergraduates have a chance to become excited about learning, receive necessary inspira-tion, and lay the educational foundation which will enable some of them to thrive on the more rarefied air of the professional graduate school, despite passing encounters with Professor Hacker's appalling prototype: the vain, uninvolved, self-seeking university professor". Another correspondent to the Saturday Review says of these "stars":

"These turncoat professors (traitors to the idea of knowledge for its own sake) state there is no practicality of subject matter for the undergraduates and use this as a rationalization for taking the easy way out * * *." A graduate assistant at Syracuse University writes:

"Today's typical undergraduate is admittedly pretty dull. But too many professors are incapable of leading him away from his ignorance. They do not want to teach undergraduates because they can't, being deficient in methods or materials. Thus a confrontation with the outside world-as represented by the undergraduateaids in sending the scholar back to the library stacks, seminar table, or laboratory, where he remains unchallenged, while further aggravating 'the cold war' and other conditions in 'our campus slums'." And a professor at Western Reserve University wrote as follows to the Saturday Review:

"Whereas undergraduate majors often reward your efforts with their appreciable growth, gradaate students all too often dampen your enthusiasm with their incapacities. To balance Professor Hacker's picture of the joys of graduate teaching, I should like to mention the frustra-tions you suffer when you discover that a graduate student staeds greatly in need of remedial work as a ~gsqltgf deficient undergraduate training, * * *.

"The undergraduate student can be as stimulating to a professor as his graduate students. Moreover, the undergraduate's energetic pursuit of his professors saves many of them from com-plete immersion in the realm of esoterica."

D. CONCLUSIONS

Aside from all other considerations, we are confronted here with a question of priorities-of putting first things first.

W e should not lose sight of the fact that there is a vast difference between a State or City university and a British university or a private American university. I n England, a university teacher does not rise to the rank of professor unless he is appointed to an endowed chair. I n our private universities, chairs are established generally because a donor will give an endowment only if he can have his own name or that of someone selected by him perpetuated in such a chair.

As a public university, our primary concern must be to meet the demands and needs for higher education by ever-growing numbers of young men and women in order that they may effectively cope with the ever-growing complexities of life today in the years ahead. Our problem is compounded by the large numbers of students of educationally and economically deprived backgrounds who need and to whom we owe the advantages of higher education. These students need good teachers, not big-name professors. It is to the matter of retaining and recruiting such good teachers that we should be directing our efforts.

This does not mean that we should neglect the field of graduate studies. However, it would appear from the report of the Middle States Association that our Graduate Division has been doing quite well without our embarking on a fund-raising campaign to get multiples of $100,000 in order to endow chairs for "distinguished professors." The Middle States Association report found that our Graduate Division has been "notably successful" in providing doctoral programs of "high quality", and predicated that it might "take a place among the nation's leading graduate institutions." Let us continue to build it as we have in the past, without any academic frills.

I f a situation should arise where we can recruit a truly outstanding professor who will not only add prestige to our institutions but who will also benefit the students because of his abilities as a teacher, i t can be handled on a n ad hoc basis. L am certain that if extra funds were needed in such a case they could be found.

I n view of the foregoing, I submit that we should not act hastily on this proposal. I t needs further study in depth. I suggest, therefore, that this proposal be turned over for such study either to the Board's Committee on Academic Program or to a special committee selected for this purpose.

Since preparing my memorandum on the above subject, I have found some additional materials which should be considered by the Committee on Academic Program and by the full Board of Higher Education.

1. With regard to the teaching effectiveness of "big name" prof~ssors, the following from an article by Peter Schrag in the Saturday Review of November 19, 1966, is of interest:

"Clark Kerr, the president of the University of California, once pointed out that the sign of an institution on the make 'is a mad scramble for football stars and professional luminaries. The former do little studying and the latter little teaching, and so they form a neat combination of muscle and intellect.' " 2. On the same point is the following from "Challenge and Change in American Education," by

Seymour E. Harris and others [1966], a t p. 281: "The one transcending force which has the greatest chance of drawing teachers and students

into a commitment to the colleges is an articulated institutional purpose which is recognized as a pivotal factor in the educational experience of the college. Conversely, if most (or even some) faculty members regard the college as simply a facility for exposing students to their individual offerings, there will be little institutional purpose on the campus. All members of that faculty will eventually regard themselves as committed solely to their specialties and not to the college at all.

"The stronger institutions are in an increasingly stiff competition at the expense in some instances of over-all institutional purposes. The striking example is that of reduced teaching loads: colleges vie with each other in asking their potential teachers not to teach."

And a t p. 286 of the same book: "* * * No school, large or small, public or private, poor or wealthy, is worth its charter

without a learning as well as a learned faculty. The ideal pattern for a faculty member in arts and science is participation in research in company with graduate students, with undergraduates majoring in his field and with freshmen and sophomores. Here is ground for a fusion of teaching and discovery, not for providing mass entertainment before serried ranks of faces." 3. Further on the same subject, Clark Kerr has stated in "the ,Uses of the University" [1963];

at p. 110: "Teaching loads will be competitively reduced, sometimes to zero, although more teachers are

needed and students are complaining of lack of attention. The identification of the professor with his university will be generally loosened-he will become more a member of a free-floating profes- sion."

Dr. Kerr said also, a t p. 118: c c More improvement is needed in undergraduate instruction in the university. It will require

the solution of many sub-problems: how to give adequate recognition. to the teaching skill a s well as to the research performance of the faculty; how to create a curriculum that serves the needs of the student as well as the research interests of the teacher; how to treat the individual student as a unique human being in the mass student body * * *" 4. I n my memorandum I cited student discontent with "distinguished" professors. Such student

discontent is to be found even now in our City University. "Observation Post", a City College student publication, reports in its January 10, 1967 issue the formation of a "Graduate Student Union", and states:

"A more basic problem is that the graduate school has 'reduced graduate education to taking down the lecture of a professor for one hour and 40 minutes per week per course', and fails to encourage meaningful relationships between faculty and students, according to a Student Union spokesman.

" 'Student-faculty interaction at the College was described by nearly everyone as less than what they experienced as undergraduates-* * *', the spokesman added." 5. Since the purpose of getting "distinguished'' professors is to gain prestige for an institution,

the following statement by Paul Woodring, Education Editor of the Saturday Review, in its issue of December 16, 1961, should be borne in mind:

" 'Prestige' is a noun, defined by Webster as 'power to charm, dazzle, or command attention.' I t comes from the Latin 'praestigium', meaning illusion or delusion.

"Prestige is an elusive quality and it is not easy to discover why one college gains it while another does not.

"In some cases prestige appears to reflect the achievements of faculty and alumni, but it is less clear whether it is closely related to excellence of undergraduate instruction." 6. Another point raised in my memorandum ik the possibility of resentment on the part of our

faculties if a policy of hiring "distinguished" professors is adopted by the Board. On this subject the following quotation from Kerr's "The Uses of the University", at p. 95, is relevant:

"The university, as an institution, needs to create an environment that gives its faculty members :

"A sense of stability-they should not fear constant change that distracts them from their work;

"a sense of continuity-they should not be concerned that their work and the structure of their lives will be greatly disrupted;

"a sense of equity-they should not be suspicious that others are being treated better than they are." 7. Above all else, I want to stress again that this is not the time when we should be embarking

on such a program. W e have too many pressing problems which require our attention now. I t will be time enough to consider the hiring of "distinguished" professors after we have solved the immediate and serious problems that confront us.

From: 345 East 46th Street New York, N. Y. 10017

Honorable Mary S. Ingraham 2 Montague Terrace Brooklyn, New York 11201 Dear Mary:

Since I cannot come to the meeting of the Committee on the Academic Program on February 17, I am sending you this summary of a telephone conversation I had with Dean George Waggoner of the University of Kansas about distinguished professorships.

Dean Waggoner told me that Kansas has exactly the sa.me program as that proposed by Chancellor Bowker: namely, augmenting the regular salaries of professorships by capital funds raised separately and named after the donor, the interest from which increases the salary by about $5,000 per year.

The pr,ogram is now working very well. There are fifteen such distinguished professorships; they have raised the level of teaching at the University; and they have not undermined the morale of the regular faculty.

At first there was great trouble in finding scholars to accept these chairs, mainly because nomina-tions were placed in the hands of the departments. These nominations were invariably scholars of the Nobel Prize level, and for them an additional four or five thousand dollars above the top Kansas salary was no inducement. The nomination procedure was then changed to a university committee, which collected names from departments, chairman, deans, President, and other sources, and since then they have been able to get suggestions that are practical.

The main attraction seems to be not the salary but the title of the distinguished professorship. Emphasis has been placed, in selection, on teaching capacity and responsibility, as well as on

distinction - in research and publication. After the first two or three successful capital funds were raised, it became fairly easy to get

donors. Apparently it is important to find a few individual donors to lead off the program.

Dean Waggoner also told me that he is familiar with a similar program at. Indiana University and that it is also successful there.

One final point: The regular faculty is considered to be as eligible for nomination to distinguished professorships as anyone else, and several such have been awarded out of the fifteen Kansas now has going.

I hope this information will be of some use to your Committee in its deliberations. Yours sincerely,

FREDERICKBURKHARDT Miss Dorman and Mr. Ashe asked to be recorded as voting "No" on the adoption of the resolution.

(b) Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the following curriculum recommendations affecting City College, Hunter College and Brooklyn College were adopted:

RESOLVED, That the following proposals of the Faculty Council of Brooklyn College to estab-lish an experimental program to reduce the prescribed core requirement at Brookyn College be referred to the Committee on the Academic Program of the Board of Higher Education:

1. Beginning with the entering class of September 1967 and continuing for five years, a random sample of the CLAS entering class shall be assigned to this program.

2. I n order to assure an adequate sample size for evaluation, the number of students assigned shall be such that, with normal expected attrition as estimated by the Registrar, the group shall comprise about 10% of its entering class a t the time of graduation.

3. For the students assigned to the experimental program, the following requirements with respect to the prescribed courses shall be effective:

(For prescribed courses listing, see following page)

4. Counseling procedures for the experimental group shall be the same as for the regular students. Counseling will be available to the students in the experimental group.

5 . The Committee recommends that an evaluation of the progress of the curriculum experiment be carried out after two years and again after four years.

6. A supervisory committee shall be nominated by the Committee on Committees to execute this proposal and to evaluate the results. This committee shall report to Faculty Council in academic year 1969-70 and again in 1973-74.

Committee on Collective Bargaining Honorable Henry E. Schultz, Chairman Honorable Frederick H . Burkhardt Honorable George D. Brown Honorable Francis H. Keppel Honorable Porter R. Chandler, ex officio

Upon motions duly made, seconded and carried, the following resolutions as approved by the City University and the college committees, or as amended, were adopted or action was taken as noted:

Committee on the City University of New York meeting held 2/14/67 The City College Committee meeting held 2/6/67 Brooklyn College Committee items approved by mail Queens College Committee meeting held 2/6/67 Richmond College Committee meeting held 2/14/67 York College Committee meeting held 2/9/67 Hunter College Committee meeting held 2/27/67

T H E C I T Y U N I V E R S I T Y (Calendar Nos. 8 through 22)

No. 8. Reports of the Chancellor: T h e Chancellor said that the only thing he had to report to the Board was the state of the Governor's Executive Budget which had come out since the last Board meeting:

There are a couple of good things about it and one not so good. The State aid for the senior colleges based on the new formula was put in as we requested, at an increase of about $11 million. The $164 million we requested was given preliminary approval by the New York City Budget ~ i r e & o r . More important, there was an appropriation of three and a half million dollars in addition to the City University Construction Fund to pay for next year's share of interest and amortization costs, though we weren't so sure that would be smooth sailing.

The thing missing was an appropriation for the S E E K Program, for which we had asked two and a half million dollars. I have had conferences with the Budget Director of the State since then, and the Joint Legislative Committee on Higher Education had hearings on this program last week, a t which Mr. Chandler and I, as well as about a hundred other people, appeared. I t was a very well run hearing. Fortunately, we had also the testimony of about a dozen students who came and told their stories-what the S E E K Program had done for them and how it had changed their lives-and everyone on the Committee was just agog at the students' stories of what it meant to them. The chances of restoration of some of these funds are reasonably good. W e had very strong support from all the New York delegation and very, very strong support from Senators Paterson, Thompson, and Assemblywoman Chisholm, who started this program in the first place.

No. 9. Bank Account: RESOLVED,Tha t a new bank account be opened at the Chemical Bank New York Trust Co., 501 East 79th Street, New York, N. Y. 10021, to be known as the "Board of Higher Education Payroll Account," with any one of the following authorized to sign withdrawals on this account:

Bernard Mintz, Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs Andrew H. Esterly, Assistant Dean of Business Affairs

Max Grossman, Chief Accounting Officer Melvin Kantor, Deputy Chief Accounting Officer John Crean, Senior Accountant

Explanation: This new account is required because of the growth of programs in the City University Central Office budget which necessitates an extremely heavy volume of payroll checks.

No. 10. (1) RESOLVED,Operation SEEK: That the following appointn~ents to the staff of Operation SEEK be approved as indicated, subject to financial ability:

(2) RESOLVED,That Queens College be authorized to waive tuition and fees during the 1966-67 academic year only for a group of A C E Program students, in number not to exceed 35.

Explanation: During the initial phases of Operation S E E K ongoing college adjustment and remedial programs at City College, Brooklyn College and Queens Colllege were unified under Opera-tion SEEK. Efforts were made to provide the same educational and supportive services to all the students in the S E E K program. However since SEEK funds can be used only for students who are residents of poverty areas a few of the carry-over could not be included. To ease the burden on these students caused by the transition, and to provide equal opportunity to all the students in the program, Queens College requests permission to waive tuition and fees for a small group of students formerly in the ACE program (the college adjustment program that was in operation prior to SEER).

No. 11. Contract W i t h The Center for Urban Education: Motion was made t o table the resolution. Motion lost.

Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried resolution adopted, as amended to read as follows :

RESOLVED,That the Chancellor be granted authority to sign a contract, in a form to be approved by the General Counsel, with the Center for Urban Education, in an amount not to exceed $30,000, such contract to provide for a feasibility study concerned with the location of a unit or units of the City University in the Harlem area, particularly with reference to teacher training; and that the Chancellor be directed to have staff studies made with respect to such other educational uses as may be appropriate under the Board's resolution adopted a t the meeting of January 23, 1967, Cal. No. 8.

No. 12. Appointment a s Dean of t h e Division of Teacher Education: RESOLVED, That Benjamin Rosner be appointed University Dean of Teacher Education and Uni-versity Professor of Education for the period 9/1/67-5/31/68, a t , a salary of $27,000 per annum, including $5,000 for services as Dean.

No. 13. University Graduate Council: RESOLVED,hat the tenure of the University Graduate Council be extended one year until August 31, 1968, unless sooner terminated by action of the Board.

Explanation: I t was originally hoped that the entire permanent organization of the University Graduate Council, and all the matters connected therewith, could be worked out satisfactorily in the period ending August 31, 1967. The extensive discussions contemplated in this important matter have indeed been taking place, and considerable progress has been made. However, it is felt that another year will be needed before firm proposals, such as can serve for an indefinite term of years, may be.formu-lated for the approval of the Administrative Council and the Board.

No. 14. Collection of Ethnic Data: RESOLVED,T h a t the recommendations contained in the following report be approved in principle:

T H E CITY UNIVERSITY O F NEW YORK Office of the Chancellor

535 East Eightieth Street New York, N. Y. 10021

M E M O R A N D U M

To: The Administrative Council Date: January 31, 1967 From: Albert H . Bowker Subject : Collection of Ethnic Data

During the past several years, the ~ n i J e r s i t y and the Board have been asked repeatedly to provide estimates of the number of Negroes and Puerto Ricans attending the colleges of the City University. This information has not been available because students in the colleges are not queried about their race, creed or color. And, indeed until the last year or two, such questions were generally regarded as prima facie evidence of discrimination.

Recently this situation has changed. I n the fall of 1965 the United States Office of Education requested estimates of Negro and other students when enrollment data were reported. Various Negro

and Civil Rights groups asked similar questions and alleged that Negro and Puerto Rican students con-stituted only one or two percent of the City University student body. Such allegations could not be answered with accurate information since valid data were not available. Recognizing the need for such data and the increased public interest in this area, the Administrative Council on June 14, 1966 agreed that each college would employ its own method of making estimates of the number of day, evening, and graduate students who were Negro, Puerto Rican, and other, after registration in September 1966.

Nine colleges of the City University and the Graduate Division a t 42nd Street made such estimates. (Queens College and Queensborough Community College data were not available.) I n some colleges, a rough approximation based upon observation was made by administrative officers. The reporting officers stressed the difficulty of making a judgment of race or Puerto Rican origin by observation since many students of Puerto Rican origin who might be considered Negro or Puerto Rican by one observer, could well be listed white by another observer. One college used a voluntary questionnaire. It included three categories-white, Negro, other. Immediately below there was a question, "Were you born in the United States?, Puerto Rico?, Other?" Thus, those who were horn in Puerto Rico might have responded that they were white, Negro or other. I n another college, students with Spanish-sounding names were also included in the estimates. I n still another college, the estimates were made by inspection of photo-identification cards. The accuracy of the results and the comparability of the data obtained by these varied methods are obviously open to question. I n view of this fact, no report based upon these data will be issued. At this juncture, there would seem to be three reasons for securing more accurate esti-mates of the number of Negro and Puerto Rican students attending the colleges of the City University.

The first affects educational and social policy. Without such data we have no way of knowing whether the percentage of Negro and Puerto Rican studecis is increasing, remaining the same or de-creasing over a period -of years. Since there is general agreement that a larger percentage of students from disadvantaged groups should go on to college, it is important to get baseline data against which to measure progress from year to year and to help gauge the effectiveness of what we are doing in this area.

The second reason is related to official inquiries. There is reason to believe that the Board of Regents and the United States Office of Education will require data of this kind in order to help Federal and State agencies take appropriate action to extend educational opportunity.

The third reason is to provide answers to the requests of community groups that are interested in encouraging students from disadvantaged families to secure a college education.

On the other side of the picture, there are two basic reasons why the asking of questions about race, creed and national origins is opposed. First, i t has been considered contrary to the democratic tradition which has frowned upon emphasizing religious and ethnic differences. Second, there is fear, based upon past experience in this country and abroad, that such data may be misused and may in fact provide a basis for discriminatory action against minority groups.

On balance a t this time, i t would seem desirable to secure such data. (1) A questionnaire which the student is required to answer could be distributed or (2 ) a simple procedure could be used that would guard against the basic objections that have been raised. Under the second alternative, the student would not be required to answer. Hence, if he was opposed to it as a matter of principle, his right to refuse to answer would be safeguarded. Since the questionnaire would be anonymous, no student would be penalized by reason of his answer or his refusal to answer.

The question as to which of the alternatives we should favor is left open. Following is the form of a questionnaire that might be used for this purpose; alternatively, a form to be drafted by the State Department of Education might be used.

PROPOSED QUESTIONNAIRE

(Revised informally a t Administrative Council meeting of February 13, 1967; subject to further revision for the approval of the Administrative Council and the Board.)

YOUR H E L P I S NEEDED The Colleges of the City University for more than 100 years have been open to students regardless

of race, creed or color. I n recent years, questions have been posed by the public and by State and Federal agencies as to the extent to which the colleges are meeting the needs of Negro and Puerto Rican students for higher education. But we have had no data on how many such students were enrolled in the colleges and whether the numbers and percentages of such students were increasing, remaining the same or decreasing from year to year.

To make available such information, you are asked to fill in the following questionnaire. W e hope you will answer it in order to make possible evaluation of the extent to which all students, including those of Negro and Puerto Rican origin, are taking advantage of the opportunity for higher education in the public colleges of New York City.

Negro ....................... Oriental ..................... Puerto Rican ................. Other ........................ NOTE: It is the intention of the Administrative Council to recommend the use of a questionnaire

to be prepared by the State Department of Education, if, upon issuance, i t appears to be suitable for our use; otherwise, a University-wide questionnaire will be formulated and presented for the approval of the Committee on the City University and the Board.

No. 15. Tuit ion Waiver fo r Cooperating Teachers: RESOLVED,T h a t the Board of Higher Education authorize the waiving of tuition for one course not exceeding three credits to be taken by such cooperating teachers having major responsibility for super-vising a student enrolled in student teaching in the City University for each semester of such supervision, applicable during the calendar year following the semester of such supervision; and be it further

RESOLVED,That the Director of Teacher Education in the college concerned be author-ized, upon information supplied by the appropriate director of student teaching of the college, to issue the necessary certification to cooperating teachers entitled to and requesting such tuition-waiver, such certificates to be acceptable in lieu of the course tuition charge under the conditions noted above in any of the senior college teacher education programs; and be it further

RESOLVED,That it be understood that the usual college requirements of admission to degrees, programs or courses will apply to cooperating teachers admitted as students under the cooperating teacher tuition waiver arrangement; and be it further

RESOLVED,That the operation of the above-mentioned tuition-waiver authorization will apply beginning with the summer sessions of 1967 for cooperating teachers serving during the spring term of 1967 and will be continued in the manner noted above through the spring term of 1970 for appropriate prior service as a cooperating teacher, by which time its effects are to be evaluated prior to its further extension.

Explanation: Teachers in the public schools render service to student teachers enrolled in the colleges of City University beyond the call of their regular duties. I t has become the practice increasingly in colleges outside the City University for whose students such services are rendered to extend the privilege of a tuition-free course to such cooperating teachers. The extension of such privilege in the case of City University has been recommended by the Superintendent of Schools, representatives of teacher groups, and the Committee on Coordination of Teacher Education. Super-intendent Bernard E . Donovan writes a s follows, under date of February 3, 1967:

"I am informed that the Board of Higher Education a t its meeting bn February 27, 1967 will consider a resolution granting a tuition-free course to our cooperating teachers who train student teachers from the city colleges. This would take effect as of February 1, 1967.

"May I urge that every effort be made to have this resolution passed by the Board of Higher Education for the following reasons:

"1. All the other private colleges that place student teachers in our New York City system extend this courtesy to cooperating teachers.

"2. I t will serve as a n inducement to competent teachers to willingly accept student teachers from the city colleges.

"3. Failure to pass this resolution would have a most harmful effect on teacher morale and would certainly damage the good rapport that exists between our teachers and the city colleges."

No. 16. Division of Teacher Education: Promotion: RESOLVED,T h a t the following pronlotion be approved:

Name Title & Ofice Period Annual Sal.

. Elizabeth Iannizzi * Assistant Professor 2/1/67-8/31/67 $11,050 Office of the Dean

* Previously appointed as Lecturer 9/1/66-8/31/67 a t $10,850 per annum. Completion of all requirements for the Ph.D. degree expected February 1967. I?romotion to the rank of Assistant Professor subject to submission of written notification of completion of doctoral requirements by March 1, 1967, otherwise appointment as Lecturer continued.

No. 17. Fee.+-Queens College: Readmission Fee: RESOLVED,T h a t a $5.00 read-mission fee be paid by matriculated and non-matriculated undergraduate students who are readmitted to Queens College after having withdrawn from the College, such fee to be effective June 1, 1967.

Explanation: The Queens College Committee on Scholastic Standards has recommended that a readmission fee be paid by matriculated and non-matriculated undergraduate students who are readmitted after having withdrawn from the College.

I n actual fact this regulation does not impose a new fee; i t merely postpones the collection of one presently in effect, the fee for withdrawal frow Queens College (formerly known as a leave of

1 i i L

absence), to what seems like a more appropriate time. Since the student who withdraws from the College does so under pressure and emotional stress, it seemed to the Committee like a gratuitous burden to ask him to pay a fee a t the time of withdrawal. Many students, moreover, never return to the College. I t therefore, seemed more equitable, and in effect, less a penalty and more nearly a charge for service, to collect the fee from those students whose withdrawal is followed by a later reactivation of their records. I n effect, only the name of the fee and the time of collection have been changed.

No. 18. Fees-Brooklyn College: RESOLVED,T h a t the following requests for au-thorization to charge new fees and to increase current fees a t Brooklyn College be approved. These fees are in line with those charged in comparable institutions for similar courses.

No. 19. City College Campus Planning: RESOLVED,T h a t the Board of Higher Education, on behalf of The City College hereby surrenders to the City of New York jurisdiction over certain parcels of land now part of the campus of City College (uptown) upon which it is intended to construct 13 temporary buildings, with the understanding that such parcels will be coilveyed by the City of New York to the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 782 of the Laws of 1966 and upon the further understanding that the parcels to be so conveyed will be appropriately described by metes and bounds descriptions as shown by a survey to be prepared; and be it further

RESOLVED,That the City University Construction Fund be requested to request the Board of Estimate of the City of New York to coilvey to the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York the aforementioned parcels of land now part of the campus of City College (uptown) for the purpose of constructing thereon 13 temporary buildings for the use and purposes of City College (uptown).

Ezplanation: This resolution is necessitated by a section of the City University Construction act which provides that, before the Dormitory Authority may proceed to erect buildings upon lands hitherto assigned to the Board of Higher Education, such lands must be conveyed to the Dormitnrv A?-+h--:+--

in the manner prescribed by law. This resolution is similar to one previously passed in connection with the Physical Education and Science Building, City College (12/19/66, Cal. No. 44) and also to one for Brooklyn College construction presented a t this meeting.

Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the following resolutio~~swere referred to the Committee on Law: (Cal. Nos. 20, 21 and 22)

No. 20. Lecturers: Tha t SCHEDULERESOLVED, X V I I , Lecturer, appearing in Sec. 14.1 of the senior college bylaws be amended to read as follows:

S C H E D U L E ' X V I I .

Lecturer $ 6,400

to 112,0001 22,000

N O T E : Matter in brackets to be deleted; matter underlined is new.

Explanatio?t: The purpose of this amendment is to make available to the University the non-tenure, temporary grade of lecturer both a t the senior colleges, where i t now exists, and in the community col-leges where it does not, in the full salary range from the present minimum of $6400 to the top full-professorial salary in the respective institutions. Occasions often arise for the temporary appointment of able professorial personnel who cannot be attracted to our colleges by a salary pegged to the present maximum of $12,000. A n example of this would be that of high school principal or other school system officials whose salaries a re now very greatly in excess of this ceiling. Another useful aspect of this change would be the availability of the lecturer position to solve temporary adjustnlents in college personnel needs, when this adjustment involves personnel on a salary level markedly in excess of $12,000. These changes will require approval of the Mayor and of various other city officials and it is understood that action of the Board is taken with a view to securing such approvals. I t has been the custom of the Board to take similar action in similar contingencies.

No. 21. Relation of O u r Community Colleges with S U N Y : Upon ~iiotion duly made, seconded and carried, the followi~ig nlemorandum was noted and the proposed amendment to the bylaws was referred to the Committee on Law:

February 6, 1967 M E M O R A N D U M

T o : The Administrative Council

From: Albert H. Bowker

Subject: Relation of Our S ix Community Colleges with S U N Y ,

I recommend that the Administrative Council approve for recommendation to the Board of Higher Education the proposed amendment to the By-Laws of the Board appended as Attachment A.

The proposed amendment is the one remaining step necessary for the implementation of an amicable arrangement designed to by-pass the long, time-consuming, and unprofitable discussions in which we and the State University have been engaged as to whether our six community colleges are members of the City University, or of the State University, or of both, o r of neither.

The correspondence relating to the unresolved controversy is appended for your information as Attachment B. The remaining discussion will be concerned with agreements reached with President Gould for the resolution of the practical aspects of the institutions' interrelationship. They replace the original suggestion of President Gould that an office of Vice-Chancellor for Con~munity Colleges be created. This was explored a t some depth, but did not meet with favor among our Comnlunity College Presidents, who rejected the idea of an officer who would come between them and the Chancellor. Fo r clarity I have referred to myself below in the third person.

1. Dean Martorana, i n dealing with the Community Colleges in New York City (except for the Fashion Institute of Technology) will work directly with Chancellor Bowker.

N O T E : It is a condition of this agreement that the Board of Higher Education be asked to designate the Chancellor by some such title as Chancellor for the community colleges under the Board's jurisdiction. I t is this condition which the proposed amendment is designed to meet, and it is for this reason that it is referred to above as the "one remaining step necessary for . . . implementation." All the other items have already been agreed to by the officials involved.

2. Mr. Joseph Shenker, Assistant to the Chancellor, will be relieved of all other duties and will concentrate on community college activities and will assist the Chancellor with communications with the State University. H e will also coordinate all central office functions related to com-munity colleges such as curriculum planning, enrollment goals, etc.

3. The Chancellor will designate one president of one of the New York City community colleges to attend all meetings of the chief administrative officers of the State University as our official representative. The other presidents will not attend. For the current year, the Chancellor intends to designate President Murray Block of the Borough of Manhattan Com-munity College. Mr. Shenker will accompany President Block as the 'Chancellor's staff assistant.

4. Similar arrangements will be made for meetings of Deans and other officers such as fiscal officers.

5. A group consisting of Vice-Chancellor Mintz, Mr. Shenker and Mr. Grossman will meet with representatives of the State University to discuss the use of one budget request form. The City University has revised its budget structure this year and it is now much closer to the format used by the State University. The budget increases are classified as manda-tory increases, workload increases, and increases arising from improvements including new programs which, I believe, is roughly what the State University does. The same group should also try to work out a single accounting procedure to avoid keeping two sets of books.

6. A group consisting of Vice-Chancellor Levy, Dean Eckles and Mr. Shenker will meet with appropriate representatives of the State University to agree on long range enrollment pro-jections. Our building programs a t Queensborough Community College and Bronx Com-munity College probably preclude any major change in their enrollment projections, but the other colleges are not a s rigidly bound by physical planning. Also, we are. taking a look a t the ultimate number of community colleges we will need in New York City. Probably an additional three to five colleges will be needed before 1980 and it is desirable to have extensive staff discussions, looking toward mutually agreeable answers on long range plans.

T h e question of combining our community college monthly reports into semi-annual or annual reports is still ,under discussion.

I t is my judgment that if the Administrative Council recommends, and the Board of Higher Education approves, the proposed amendment to the By-Laws, the implementation of the six points mentioned above will markedly simplify all our community college operations.

COPY BOARD O F HIGHER EDUCATION February 1, 1966

Dean S. V. Martorana State University of New York Thurlow Terrace Albany, New York

Dear Dean Martorana :

Dr. Kenny, President of Queensborough Community College, has asked me to reply to that part of your letter to him, dated January 19, 1966, in which you state:

"Your attention is called to the fact that, while Queensborough Community College is sponsored by the Board of Higher Education, this fact does not legally make the community college a part of the City University."

I must take issue with you with respect to your assertion that Queensborough Comn~unity College is not legally a part of the City University. I refer you to $ 8 6201 and 6202 of the Education Law which provides that the Board of Higher Education "shall govern and administer that part of the public school system within the city which is of collegiate grade and which leads to academic, technical and professional degrees" ( 8 6201) and 8 6202 which provides "the institutions and educational units which such board shall conduct shall be part of the common school system" and "the control of the educational work of such institutions shall rest solely in the Board of Higher Education which shall administer all educational units controlled by it, as and under the general name and title of The City University of New York."

Since Queensborough Community College is of collegiate grade and gives courses leading "to academic, technical and professional degrees," it is clearly part of the common school system and, hence, part of the City University.

The Commissioner of Education has recognized this to be the fact by assuming jurisdiction over appeals from community college determinations which he could not do unless community colleges in New York City were part of the City University and part of the common school system (Mat ter of Lifisman v. Bronx Community College, decided by the Commissioner of Education June 9, 1964; Matter of Board of Higher Education v. Cole a s Commissioner, etc., Supreme Court, Albany County, March 14, 1941.)

That the State University Trustees approve the appointment of presidents, curricula and budgets is no more, and considerably less, than the Board of Higher Education does and, accordingly, those acts cannot be considered indices that the community colleges are part of State University.

Sincerely yours, ARTHURH. KAHN Counsel

From: John C. Crary, Jr.

Community Colleges Administered by Board of Higher Education-relationship to City University

Mr. Kahn's letter of February 1 to you takes issue with your statement to President Kenny that the Queensborough Community College is not part of the City University of New York. H e conciudes by saying that approval of the appointment of the president and of curricula and budgets of community colleges administered by the Board of Higher Educatiorl by State University are not "indices that the community colleges are part of State University." The issue does not arise in this alternative. Your advice to President Kenny was not based on the contention that the community colleges are constituent-units of the State University but followed the consistent understanding of State University that the community colleges administered by the Board of Higher Education had never been made constituent units of the City University of New York. This is borne out by the statute under which such colleges are established and governed and by the legislative history of the creation of the City University.

Mr. Kahn's conclusion rests on provisions of 8 8 6201 and 6202 of the Education Law providing that the Board of Higher Education shall "govern and administer that part of the common school system within the city which is of collegiate grade" and that "the control of the educational work of such institutions shall rest solely in the Board of Higher Education which shall administer all educational units controlled by it, a s and under the general name and title of the city university of New York."

Prior to 1961, the latter sentence referred to the "general name and title of the college of the city of New York." Chapter 388 of the Laws of 1961 created the City University simply by changing the name of the City College to City University so as to permit graduate programs to be instituted. The general language as to what constituted the former City College and present City University was and is contained in Article 125 of the Education Law. I t existed long before the enactment of Article 126, specifically dealing with community colleges, and the enactment of Article 8 dealing with the State University's powers and duties respecting them in 1948.

Article 126 and Article 8 are provisions specially dealing with community colleges and it is these provisions which establish their legal relationships and not general provisions of other statutes to which they are not expressly subjected. Article 126 deals with community colleges on a state-wide area need basis. I ts only special provisions relating to the City of New York a re those which permit, in addition to the City itself, either the Board of Education or the Board of Higher Education to become the sponsor of a community college and to act as the administering board if i t is so elected (8 6306, sub. 3). The authority of the Board of Higher Education to sponsor and administer a community college, derived from Article 126, cannot of itself make such a college a n institution governed by Article 125 and subject to powers granted by that article with respect to the other institutions to which it relates. School districts outside the City of New York are authorized to sponsor community colleges. Two colleges have been so sponsored but this has never been thought to make them parts of the common school system and subject to general provisions governing the public schools.

Nothing in Chapter 388 of the Laws of 1961, which created the City University, simply by substituting that name in Article 125 in appropriate places, has any effect to incorporate any community colleges into the City University. There are indications to the contrary on the face of the statute. That act revised the master plan provisions for the State University and provided for the Regents plan for higher education. The planning functions of the State University trustees continue to require that they make recommendations "for the establishment of community colleges" (Ed. L. 8 354). There is no reference to community colleges in the "long range city university plan" required under !j 6202(2). Sub-division 3 was carefully amended to take out the more inclusive term "public higher education," and confine the power of the Board of Higher Education to select and acquire sites for "the city university or its component colleges or other institutions." This explicit change in the very act which created the City University is clear evidence of legislstive intent that it included only institutions under Article 125 of the Education Law and not other "public higher education" institutions governed by other statutes. The result is that the selection and acquisition of sites remains subject to the general powers and authority of local sponsors, administering boards and the State University under Articles 8 and 126.

Even more compelling is the legislative history of the bill which eventually was enacted and approved as Chapter 388 of the Laws of 1961. As originally introduced ( 3 3239, Pr . 3523) the bill contained provisions clearly designed to make community colleges under the jurisdiction of the Board of Higher Education a part of the City University. Section 5 of the bill would have added a new !j 6200 to Article 125 to provide that all educational institutions of collegiate grade "heretofore or hereafter" established under the jurisdiction of the Board of Higher Education should be known as "the city university of New York." Section 6202 would have been amended to give the Board power to administer community colleges previously established and which were, on January 1, 1961, under the jurisdiction of the Board and to provide that it should have all the powers and duties with respect to such colleges as are provided in "this article" (125) with respect to other institutions conducted by the board. That section would also have been amended to authorize the Board to establish community colleges, "subject to approval by the regents." Section 6208 dealing with instructional fees would have contained a reference to payments to the Board in conducting "its community college programs." Section 6215 would have been amended to permit the Board to admit out of state students "in the case of community colleges." A new section 6217 would have been added governing state financial assistance "to community colleges in the city university of New York," which would have provided for apportionment by the Commissioner of Education. Finally a new section 6309 would have been added to make Article 126 inapplicable to community colleges "sponsored or administered" by the Board of Higher Education.

I n the final print of the bill as passed and signed into law (Pr. 4527) all of these provisions were omitted. Chapter 388 of the Laws of 1961 left community colleges "sponsored or administered" by the Board of Higher Education exactly where they were prior to the creation of the City University. Such colleges did not become part of that University. The Board of Higher Education has only the powers conferred upon sponsors and administering boards by Article 126 of the Education Law subject to the supervisory and regulatory powers of the State University.

Explanation: Submitted to The City College Committee was a detailed study showing the need for temporary facilities at The City College and the thirteen structures with which some of these needs are to be met. Occupancy by September 1, 1967 is imperative. O n the completion of the building program, these temporary structures are to be removed.

RAE, ROBIN: I n support of this recommendation, Professor Joseph Justman, Chairman of the Education

Department has written as follows:

". . . A specialist in elementary education, Mr. Rae served with great distinction as Lecturer in our Department for a three-year period from 1962 to 1965. H e brought to us a background of unusual achievement in previous school and college teaching, and a fresh and creative approach in elementary education which quickly earned the admiration of his colleagues who later, at the time of his leaving, contributed unsolicited letters of praise and testimonal.

". . . The students, too, have found him inspirational in ways that increased their self-motivation in learning and student teaching.

". . . W e are confident that he will be able to meet the doctoral requirement prior to completion of his probationary service, and his appointment now would re-enforce a capable staff in elementary education."

HEALY. CHARLES :

I n support of this recommendation, Dean Herbert Stroup, Chairman of the Department of Student Services, has written as follows:

. . . Mr. Healy does not now have a doctorate, although he expects to receive i t i n the Spring of 1967. Mr. Healy is a lively and sensitive person who undoubtedly is of superior capacity for work within the Department. During his one and one-half years a t Brooklyn College he has given evidence of being an eager worker who is always responsible for the management of assignments made to him. Professor Roberta Baker in whose unit he gives much of his time is significantly impressed with Mr. Healy's ability to take responsibility and to carry it out effectively."

MARKOE, ARNOLD : I n support of this recommendation, Dean Walter Mais, in whose office Mr. Markoe is currently

assigned, has written a s follows:

". . . Mr. Markoe has been working in the Veterans' Counseling and Selective Service section for close to three years.". . . "The amount of training and experience which Mr. Markoe has received during his work in the office of. the Dean of the Faculties has made him a valuable and experienced member of the Dean's team. I t would be extremely difficult to find someone with an equivalent amount of required experience and background. A person already in possession of a Ph.D. could not have achieved the necessary familiarity with the laws and established the working liaison with the Veterans' Administration and the various local boards of the Selective Service System since these matters do not form part of any known curriculum. What is even more crucial is, the fact that our experience has proved that we have been unable to attract a competent individual, even without the technical training and background required for this position.

"Mr. .Markoe has completed all the course requirements a t New Y o ~ k University for the Ph.D. degree and is currently working on a dissertation and has indicated that he will be able to obtain the doctorate within the specified three year period . . ."

No. 28. Waiver of Bylaws: RESOLVED,Tha t Art. XVI, Sec. 16.16 of the Bylaws of the Board of Higher Education mandating a return to service for at least one year after expiration of a Sabbatical leave of absence, be waived in the case of Ella H.

No. 35. Brooklyn College Campus and Construction: RESOLVED,T h a t the City University Construction Fund be requested to request the Board of Estimate of the City of New York to convey to the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York those portions of the Brooklyn College campus as have been designated for new construction on the Master Site Plan, dated April 12, 1966, subject to necessary adjustments by virtue of appropriate surveys, the specific areas being those on which are to be erected the Science Building Addition, the Roosevelt Hall Addition, the New Academic Building and the Plaza, including the bridge across Bedford Avenue.

Explanation: The Dormitory Authority requires that it have title to any project financed by the Authority. The Construction Fund Act provides that the Fund may request the City of New York for the conveyance of title to the Dormitory Authority.

No. 36. Authorization to Execute Lease: RESOLVED,T h a t Brooklyn College be authorized to enter into a three year lease with Long Island University for the rental of apartments at University Towers, 175 Willoughby Street, Brooklyn, New York, these apartments to be sublet by Brooklyn College to eligible Brooklyn College staff- membk'rs at tax-abated rentals.

Explanatimz: I t is the view of the Administrative Council that faculty housing is of vital importance in attracting and maintaining a top college faculty. Further, it is the Chancellor's desire to provide faculty housing at the lowest possible cost. Accordingly, Brooklyn College has made arrangements to enter into a three ( 3 ) year lease with Long Island University for the rental of apartments a t University Towers, 175 Willoughby Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. These apartments will then be sub-let by Brooklyn College to eligible College staff members a t tax-abated rentals.

Brooklyn College i s most anxious to help our staff members who are tenants of University Towers and any staff member who in the future may become a tenant, to obtain a tax-exempt status. Other tenants who are employees of Long Island University, Brooklyn Hospital, Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and Cornell Medical College are enjoying this tax-exempt status and are profiting from a reduction in rent.

The following excerpt from a letter of Mr. William M. Birenbaum, Vice President and Provost of Long Island University, to the Business Manager of Brooklyn College explains the advantages to the college and its faculty:

The program works as follows: Present tenants in your employ or student body will be asked to sign new leases. The leases are an agreement between your employees and students and your institution a t the abated rent. The prime leave will be held by Long Island University and your institution. Your risk, therefore, is minimized by: a. the security we agree upon. b. your knowledge of the character of each tenant. I n the event your tenant defaults, the security would act as an insurance against loss to you and

to Long Island University. I n the event the security period did not cover the loss, Long Island University would release your institution from further obligation.

requested to approve said contract, chargeable t o Capital Project HN-110, Queens Col-lege, Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, Moving, etc., Including Equipment.

Explanation: I t has been recommended by Mr. Arthur Schiller that a new Master Plan be made for Queens College before we erect any new buildings. The first step involved in this would be to find out what the existing conditions are regarding the topography of existing campus, as well a s the proposed addition of two blocks, 153rd Street, Reeves Avenue and Long Island Expressway. I n order to secure this information, a new topographical survey of the entire campus will be needed and a proposal has been received from Fred J. Powell, Successor to Keller & Powell, to prepare this map a t a cost of $16,000.

No. 38. Change of Designation-Department of Germanic Languages: RESOLVED, That the name of the Department of Germanic Languages be changed to Department of German and Comparative Literature, this change to take effect at the beginning of the spring semester 1967.

Explanation: The great growth in recent years of the College's Comparative Literature offerings and the steady expansion of the Department of Classical and Oriental Languages, with the consequent great burden on Professor Konrad Gries who has been responsible for the guidance of both areas, have led to a decision to make new administrative provision for the field of Comparative Literature.

I t has been recommended that work in Comparative Literature be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Department of Germanic Languages since the name of the department should be changed to reflect this additional area of study.

No. 39.

No. 44. Grant from the Carnegie Corporation for a Faculty Planning Institute for Richmond College in the Summer of 1967: T h e President presented the fol-lowing report outlining the terms of the grant received from the Carnegie Corporation: Grant from the Carnegie Corporatiogz for a Faculty Planning Institute for Richmond College in the

Summer of 1967

Richmond College has received a grant from the Carnegie Corporation for a Faculty Planning Institute in the sum of $39,500 (to be matched by budget funds of $33,000), which will enable the college to appoint a large proportion of its first faculty members for the month of August, 1967, prior to the opening of the college in September, 1967, and to hire consultants to assist the Richmond faculty in i ts planning for the opening of the new college in September 1967.

This institute will study in detail and make plans for the curriculum and programs, organization, instructional procedures, and other implications of the unique nature of the college. Since the college exemplifies a new concept in higher education, the upper division college for which there are few precedents, i t will be expected to explore new and promising developments for higher education of significance not only for Richmond College but for other institutions as well. Because of the natiohal implication of Richmond College for American higher education, the college will publish the results of its study for national distribution.

There follows the text of the proposal on the basis of which the grant was received:

PROPOSAL F O R A RICHMOND COLLEGE FACULTY PLANNING I N S T I T U T E :

SUMMER 1967

The late President Griswold of Yale once cogently remarked that each college has in addition to its responsibility for educating its students in the formal content of its curriculum a corresponding responsibility, and a very heavy one, to educate its patrons in the purposes of the institution. W e a t Richmond, a spanking new college, will need to clarify our purpose to ourselves, to the faculty we are engaging, to the college's immediate patrons and finally to institutions of higher education a t large.

W e would like to establish the idea that Richmond as the newest senior and the first upper division college of The City University of New York and one of the first of its kind in the nation, will often be experimental in nature. I n respect to The City University of New York and its massive enrollment, Richmond will ~ r o v i d e unique opportunities for developing a number of pilot instructional programs. I n respect to the national scene it will break new ground as an upper division college. Florida-Atlantic a t Boca Raton, projected Western Florida at Pensacola, Michigan a t Dearborn are also working on this concept. However, none of them will be operating in an urban atmosphere of megalopolis size as we shall. Thus our tempered experience will be of significant usefulness to them as well as other systems of higher education, notably California, which are exploring the possibilities in upper division colleges. It will be seen that i t is no exaggeration to assert that all those concerned with higher education will be observing carefully the outcome of our work. Realizing the importance of our task, we are particularly interested in enabling our faculty and administrators to discuss a t length and in some depth the immensely exciting problems of curriculum and organization we face. Consequently we Propose a one month workshop conference for our faculty in the summer before we begin classes in September 1967.

MAJOR AGENDA I T E M S W I L L I N C L U D E T H E FOLLOWING: 1. Distinctive purposes of a n upper division colleg-e. 2. Organizational implications of these purposes. ~ i v i s i o n a l vs. department faculty organization,

for example. 3. Curricular planning in the various disciplines according to the following thematic framework:

a. A three year continuum of study from junior through the first graduate year. b. Balance between specialization and interdisciplinary studies. c. Proper reflection of needs for training in the professions requiring graduate preparation

beyond the baccalaureate i.e. engineering, teaching, health and science administration, state and federal service, etc.

4. Instructional planning in each of the divisional fields according to the following thematic framework: a. Units of study that will require the student to carry fewer subjects in greater concentration

than is the usual pattern (i.e. four credit units rather than the prevailing three credit norm.) b. Provision for maximum flexibility of instructional organization to allow for combinations of

large and small group and individual instruction. c. Provisions for independent study-becoming more and more prevalent a s the student matures

in his studies. d. Use of media to their maximum effectiveness.

5. The "upper division" student-a. Analysis of background and scholastic achievement of those students who have been accepted

in the first class and those who are likely to become candidates for admission in the future. b. implication of (a) on standards of student evaluation, organization of academic guidance

services, course placement, class grouping, etc. c. use of placement examinations, refresher courses, skill centers, etc.

6. Articulation between keeder community colleges and upper division colleges, and between four year undergraduate colleges and upper division colleges.

7. Major specification for campus design (Planning for permanent quarters for Richmond will get under way in 1967.)

To this workshop we plan to invite a minimum of 50 of our newly appointed faculty members, together with the administrative staff and division heads, and have them work with expert consultants in fields of curriculum, evaluation and student appraisal, and organization and administration of education.

No. 45. Master Planning for Permanent Site: RESOLVED,T h a t the Chancellor of The City University of New York and the President of York College be authorized to initiate without delay a survey of firms capable of acting as master planners for York College.

The firm of master planners to be selected is to survey and make recommendations regarding topographical features, demographic pressures, alternate site possibilities, transportation, and existing structures. I t must also provide initial concepts for campus organization and development.

No. 46. Temporary Facilities: RESOLVED,Tha t the Board of Higher Education request the Department of Real Estate to negotiate leases for suitable rented space for administrative purposes in the Borough of Queens, New York, for use by York College.
