SUBJECT:

Conferral of Degrees: Professional Business College, Gamla College, Technical Career Institutes, and Long Island Business Institute

DATE:

May 30, 2006

STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goal 2

AUTHORIZATION(S):

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda)

 

Should the Regents confer degrees upon students completing programs at Professional Business College, Gamla College, Technical Career Institutes, and Long Island Business Institute?

 

Reason for Consideration

 

Required by State statute and State regulations.

                   

Proposed Handling

 

The question will come before the Higher Education and Professional Practice Committee at its June 2006 meeting where it will be voted on and action taken.  It will then come before the full Board at its June meeting for final action.

 

Procedural History

 

Professional Business College and Gamla College are provisionally chartered institutions. Until their charters are made absolute, Education Law §224 requires that the Regents award degrees on their behalf.

 

 

 

 

Technical Career Institutes and Long Island Business Institute are proprietary institutions. Pursuant to Regents Rule 3.46, their degree-granting authority reverted to the Regents when they changed ownership. Until such time as these 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 these institutions.

Recommendation 

 

It is recommended that the Board of Regents confer upon the individuals listed, who have completed the requirements for their registered degree programs at Professional Business College, Gamla College, Technical Career Institutes and Long Island Business Institute, the respective degrees listed for each institution.

 

 

Information in Support of Recommendation

 

Professional Business College

 

Professional Business College was granted a provisional charter by the Board of Regents on June 17, 2003, authorizing the College to offer the Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) degree. Until the Regents grant Professional Business College an absolute charter, all academic awards are to be conferred on graduates by the Regents.

Gamla College

 

Gamla College, an independent institution, was granted a provisional charter by the Board of Regents on December 20, 1996 authorizing the College to offer the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Judaic Studies.  On June 22, 2004, the Regents affirmed their December 12, 2003 determination to deny the extension of Gamla College’s institutional accreditation, thereby making the College ineligible for Title IV funds. Because the accreditation and State approval functions of the Regents have been separated at the request of the United States Department of Education, the action taken by the Board in June did not serve to rescind the registration of the College’s programs nor did it revoke their provisional charter as a college. An institution with a provisional charter has all the corporate powers and duties of an institution with an absolute charter, except that in the case of institutions offering courses leading to academic degrees, such degrees are conferred by the Board of Regents until the charter has been made absolute. Consequently, the College has the authority to continue to offer classes, and, by the terms of the provisional charter, all academic awards are to be conferred on graduates by the Regents.
