SUMMARY
Issue for Consent Agenda
Should the
Regents confer degrees upon students completing programs of Long Island Business
Institute, Professional Business College and Taylor Business
Institute?
Reason(s) for Consideration
Required by State statute and State
regulations.
Proposed
Handling
This question will come
before the Committee on Higher Education and Professional Practice at its
September 2005 meeting. It
then will come before the Full Board for final action on September 9,
2005.
Procedural
History
Long Island Business Institute and Taylor
Business Institute are for-profit degree-granting institutions. Pursuant to
Regents Rule 3.46 their degree-granting authority reverted to the Regents when
they changed ownership. Until such time as the institutions demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Commissioner of Education compliance with laws, rules and
regulations applicable to degree-granting institutions in New York State, the
Regents will award degrees on behalf of the
institutions.
Professional Business College is a
provisionally chartered institution. Until its charter is made absolute,
Education Law §224 requires that the Regents award degrees on its
behalf.
Recommendation
I recommend that the Regents take the following action:
VOTED, that the awards indicated be conferred upon the individuals as listed for Long Island Business Institute, for Professional Business College and for Taylor Business Institute.
