RESOLVED, That the Chancellor's- recommendations concerning such sites, either in
terms of specific locations or general. areas within a borough, be brought before

(b) Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the following resolution, presented
by Professor Williamson on behalf of the Committee, was adopted:

WHEREAS , A’question as to the propriety of matriculated status for affiliated nursing
students has arisin in connection with agreements between Staten: Island Community

. “College and St. Vincents Medical Center, and the Queensborough Community Coltege and

Creedmoor State Hospital; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That’ this matter and related matters of hospital nursing students at Hunter
College be referred to the Administrative Council for a policy recommendation.

EXPLANATION: In 1967 the Board authorized the aforementioned colleges to enter into
agreements with the respective hospitals providing for the acceptance of nursing
students from the hospitals for instruction. The agreement indicated that the.
students were to receive appropriate status, either matriculated or non-matriculated.
Further that the hospitals vere to be charged on the corresponding fee basis. |
Difficulties with the nursing departments have arisen regarding interpretation of
matriculated status, since’ these students would not qualify for a degree until their
nursing training ‘at the hospital had been accepted by the departments. susequent to
their receiving a registered nursing certificate. j

THE CITY UNIVERSITY
(Calendar Nos. C4 through C9)
No. C4. REPORTS OF THE CHANCELLOR: The Chancellor said that he would like to
report briefly on three things:

At the last meeting of the Board I was authorized to complete salary negotia-
tions. We completed these negotiations right before Christmas although there was
some delay in their announcement. The salary schedules have been approved by the
Executive Comittee.

Minutes of Proceedings, January 22, 1968 $-9

Professioral salaries will range from $18,000 to $26,000. There were some changes
+ in the scales and in the individual titles. that we wanted. Although we argued strongly
‘on the parity question, no progress was made.

The State budget came out and didn't appear to really reflect what we asked for.
As far as I can see, the State and the City came to some. agreement to which we were not
a party. That is not only outrageous, but illegal. We are required by law to submit
a budget by December 1; there was no provision for negotiations behind our backs.
Money is very tight. I think we will get somewhere but the pressure and the bitterness
of the budget negotiations are getting very hard to take.

There is some good news though. I have circulated to you a document giving details
about our grants and contracts. ‘These seem to be increased. The second quarter shows
a total of $4,600,000, and this, added to a little over $3,000,000 in the first quarter,.
makes our total for the pee so far about $8,000,000. Last year for the whole year it
was $11,000,000, which shows a substantial increase for this year. Most of it comes
from the Federal Government although there is a $300,000 contract from the City of New
York Human Resources. We have $700,000 under negotiation with them at the present time.
There are several private grants from Carnegie and the organizations as well.

This is a much more optomistic picture than the State and City finances at the
moment. I suspect that the University is likely to be in a position to benefit from
Federal programs that are developed in the future. This federal support means a lot _
.of work by presidents and faculty. People have to go back and forth to Washington, but our
people are working on it, and the results ‘are good.

NO. C5. AMENDMENT TO THE THIRD INTERIM SeuiSIOM {1967) OF THE 1964 MASTER PLAN:
RESOLVED, That iv nterim Revision aster Plan for ity

University of New York be amended to read as follows:

sho uuuesas.

~ On page 21, delete the first sentence and substitute the following:

The 1967 Master Plan provides detailed community college enrollemnt projections. From
* these data, it is clear that the large student demand is not adequately met by the pro-
jected expansion of the six public community colleges now located in Bronx, Manhattan,
Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. Analysis of enrollment projections and space
availability from 1967 to 1980 (pages 25 and 26) indicates that, in 1968, enrollment
will exceed capacity by over 800 students. This deficit will increase to a high of
32,000 by 1980.

A number of community colleges are needed if the University is to fulfill its commit- |
_ ment to provide necessary opportunities for higher education to the people of New York —
City. The first of these is the new community college herein called for.

Objectives

The proposed new college would become the seventh community college sponsored by the
Board of Higher Education. As stated above, its establishment is required to accommodate
‘increased enrollments identified both in the City University Master Plan and the Regents
Statewide Plan for the Expansion and Development of Higher Education.

iA

The proposed institution will be a comprehensive community college, offering University
transfer and occupational education programs. In addition, it will provide for adult
and continuing education and administer a Skills Center, offering special post-secondary,
@ducation programs. This pattern has been successful in the six existing community
College units operated by the Board of Higher Education.

The proposed institution also will be experimental in that it will try to develop the
following approaches: :

1. All students will be admitted to a common first semester program and their assign-
Ment among transfer or career programs will be based solely on their performance at the
“Sollege during their first term. ’


H S-10 Board of Higher Education Wennste

2. The college will be located in, or on the fringes of, a poverty area, and its major
orientation will be to meet the challanges of providing disadvantaged students with post-
high school training.

' i 3. The college will assume a major responsibility for. community service oriented to the
special needs of the community in which it is located. .

4. Admission to the college will not be based solely on high school performance.
The new community college. will both supplement and complement existing units.

It will supplement existing units by offering needed enrollment capacity which cannot be
met at existing institutions. a

It will complement existing units by (1) giving greater emphasis: to the needs of the
poverty area in which it is located through admissions procedures, compensatory programs,

a common first-term program, and greater emphasis ‘on community services, and (2) by offering
career programs not now available at other units and increased capacity for programs in
great demand at existing units.

In short, the proposed institution is experimental in the sense that it is the first of
several institutions that will attempt to relate their objectives and programs more closely
to the immediate community in which they are located.

Facilities and Operating Budget

The following information-on space requirements and costs, and the projected operating budget
are presented only to indicate the general magnitude of the commitment and should not be
construed as a definition of the specific level of expenditures.

A. Facilities

ry Wherever located, the new community college would be designed to house 5,000 full-time
students requiring 800,000 square feet. A general cost estimate indicates that a capital

q budget allocation of $32 million would be needed (5,000 students x 160 square feet x $40.= a
$32,000,000).

| The above formula is based on a rule of thumb and should be interpreted as a guideline in

u the broadest sense. When the new president is appointed, an academic program will be ,
developed and based on that program and the requirements of the site, an architect will
define specific requirements.

B. Operating Budget

i It is estimated that the operating budget for the new community college during its first
; six years will range from $635,000 for planning and start-up costs during 1968-69, to =
| $3,230,000 during its fifth year of operation.

To implement the establishment of the new community college, the Board of Higher Education,
at its November 27, 1967 meeting, Cal. No. C8, adopted the following resolutions: =

RESOLVED, That the Board of Higher Education sponsor a new community college to be opened
in September, 1969; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Trustees of the State University of New York be requested to approve z
the sponsorship of such community college by the Board of Higher Education.

In adopting these resolutions, the Board accepts in principle the general considerations
expressed in the annexed report, with the recognition that details of implementation are
subject to further consideration of the Board.
