Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a comprehensive history of the City University of New York, this book chronicles the evolution of the country’s largest urban university from its inception in 1961 through the tumultuous events and policies that have shaped it character and community over the past fifty years. On April 11, 1961, New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller signed the law creating the City University of New York (CUNY). This legislation consolidated the operations of seven municipal colleges—four senior colleges (Brooklyn College, City College, Hunter College and Queens College) and three community colleges (Bronx Community College, Queensborough Community College, and Staten Island Community College)—under a common Board of Higher Education. Enrolling at the time approximately 91,000 students, CUNY would evolve over the next fifty years into the largest urban university in the country, serving more than 500,000 students. Reflecting on its uniqueness and broader place in U.S. higher education, Picciano and Jordan examine in depth the development of the CUNY system and all of its constituent colleges, with emphasis on its rapid expansion in the 1960s, and the end of its free tuition in the 1970s, and open admissions policies in the 1990s. While much of CUNY’s history is marked by twists and turns unique to its locale, many of the issues and experiences at CUNY over the past fifty years shed light on the larger nationwide developments in higher education.

Download or read book Changing the Odds written by David E. Lavin and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open-admissions experiment at the City University of New York was the most ambitious effort ever made to promote equality of opportunity in American higher education. Initiated in 1970, during the heyday of the "great society," it defined college as a right for all who had completed high school, and it especially aimed to create educational opportunities for disadvantaged minority students. This book evaluates that controversial experiment. Although critics predicted that the open-admissions policy would sweep away academic standards and result in watered-down degrees of little value, David Lavin and David Hyllegard present data to show that students who graduated were able not only to earn postgraduate degrees at non-CUNY institutions but also to obtain good jobs--far better than the jobs they could have expected without the opportunity open admissions gave them. Indeed, in one year in the 1980s, say the authors, open-admissions students earned $67 million more than they would have if they had not gone to college. Notwithstanding the successes of open admissions, attacks on it have continued, and, as the book shows, minority access to college has been cut back significantly at CUNY and elsewhere. This book provides ammunition for those who want to challenge emerging policies that narrow educational opportunities for minority students and poor people.

Download or read book The Governance of the City University of New York A System at Odds with Itself written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, elected officials are demanding that public universities demonstrate productivity and efficiency in their use of public funds. New York City is no exception to this trend; Mayor Giuliani has taken the lead in asking that the City University of New York (CUNY) improve its performance (see, e.g., Arenson, 1998a). The performance of a system of higher education depends at least in part on the efficacy of its structure of governance. For the purposes of this report, governance will be defined broadly as including not only the traditional academic decision making procedures related to curriculum, research, and faculty personnel, but also the organizational decisions of administrators, the policy decisions of the university trustees, and the oversight of statewide educational authorities. It includes the structure of authority, accountability, and incentive relationships from the New York State Board of Regents to the employment contracts of individual faculty members. Although effective governance is not sufficient to guarantee ultimate success in achieving positive educational outcomes, it is surely necessary. If CUNY is to satisfy public demands for improvement, it requires a system of governance that promotes both productivity and efficiency in its educational enterprise. The primary objectives of this report are to explain CUNY's governance structure and describe how that structure hinders the achievement of positive educational outcomes. In addition, the report makes tentative suggestions about how governance might be reformed to reduce obstacles to performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of Open Admissions at CUNY led to the development of a unique program of comprehensive services designed to support the Open Admissions student throughout his or her college career.

Download or read book Stepmotherland written by Darrel Alejandro Holnes and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stepmotherland is a tour-de-force debut collection about coming of age, coming out, and coming to America. Winner of the Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize, Stepmotherland, Darrel Alejandro Holnes’s first full-length collection, is filled with poems that chronicle and question identity, family, and allegiance. This Central American love song is in constant motion as it takes us on a lyrical and sometimes narrative journey from Panamá to the USA and beyond. The driving force behind Holnes’s work is a pursuit for a new home, and as he searches, he takes the reader on a wild ride through the most pressing political issues of our time and the most intimate and transformative personal experiences of his life. Exploring a complex range of emotions, this collection is a celebration of the discovery of America, the discovery of self, and the ways they may be one and the same. Holnes’s poems experiment with macaronic language, literary forms, and prosody. In their inventiveness, they create a new tradition that blurs the borders between poetry, visual art, and dramatic text. The new legacy he creates is one with significant reverence for the past, which informs a central desire of immigrants and native-born citizens alike: the desire for a better life. Stepmotherland documents an artist’s evolution into manhood and heralds the arrival of a stunning new poetic voice.
