This unit is one of CUNY’s 28 Affirmative Action establishments. The US Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) oversees Affirmative Action Plan requirements for federal contractors. Some aspects of this plan also reflect state and local regulations, guidelines for public entities, and resolutions of the CUNY Board of Trustees. In particular, this plan reflects requirements for implementing: • Presidential Executive Order 11246, for women and federally protected racial/ethnic groups • Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, for protected Veterans • Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, for Individuals with Disabilities. The plan reflects the following timeframes: Employee Census Date: June 1, 2020 Reporting Year: June 1, 2019–May 31, 2020 Program Year: September 1, 2020–August 31, 2021. Given this year’s disruptions due to the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, we experienced challenges in implementing last year’s plan and in completing this year’s plan, as discussed later in this report. These hyperlinks provide highlights: Impact of 2020 Events Summary of Workforce by Job Group; Summary by Tenure Status Summary of Underutilization and Goals Action-Oriented Programs for Females and Minorities Hiring Rates, Individuals with Disabilities and Veterans Planned Outreach for Individuals with Disabilities and Veterans This Plan is available for public review as described on the title page. As CUNY’s Chancellor designated Italian Americans as a protected group in 1976, we prepare a separate AAP or Italian Americans. Web links, confirmed as of January 2021, are subject to change. 4 OVERVIEW The Graduate School and University Center (GC) is the focal point for advanced teaching and research at the City University of New York (CUNY). Devoted exclusively to graduate education, the GC fosters pioneering research and scholarship in the arts and sciences, and train students for careers in universities, private, nonprofit, and government sectors. The Graduate Center aims to sustain its commitment to diversity and inclusion and provide opportunities for people in New York and around the world in pursing advance research and disseminating it for the public good. With more than 30 doctoral programs , 16 master's programs and more than 30 research centers, institutes, and initiatives combined, Centers & Institutes (cuny.edu) the GC benefits from highly ambitious and diverse students and alumni—who in turn teach hundreds of thousands undergraduates every year. Innovative research, rigorous scholarship, collaborative and interdisciplinary learning, and the creation of theoretical and applied knowledge defines graduate education at the heart of the GC that prepares students with creative, problem-solving expertise to thrive in and beyond the academy. In 2019, The National Science Foundation’s Survey of Earned Doctorates ranked The Graduate Center #41 among 375 institutions awarding 374 doctorates to 217 women and 177 men. Nationally, the GC ranked #13 for awarding doctoral degrees to students identifying as Hispanic/Latinos. The GC also awards the largest number of Humanities & Arts doctorates of any public or private institution in New York State, ranking at #2. In the fields of Science and Engineering, the GC ranks first among public universities in New York State. Finally, the GC ranked #3 for awarding doctorates in the field of Psychology. In addition to research and programming in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, the Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) extends the GC’s global reach and prominence as an international hub of advanced study by promoting interdisciplinary research, facilitating collaboration, and supporting students, postdoctoral appointments, and visiting scholars. The Advance Science Research Center (ASRC) is the University’s premier scientific research institute which formally joined the GC in 2017. The ASRC facility, a 200,000-square-foot, state-of-the art building in Upper Manhattan was designed to specifically foster collaboration across disciplines and enhance potential for groundbreaking research. It houses five dynamic initiatives of applied science — Nanoscience, Photonics, Structural Biology, Neuroscience, and Environmental Sciences — and promises to catalyze the sciences across CUNY and New York City. For more information, please visit: The Advanced Science Research Center (cuny.edu). Launched in 2018 and located at the GC, SUM supports faculty publication and research at CUNY. The GC provides an administrative home for University Center Schools (cuny.edu). Further information on the GC and its programs are available at www.gc.cuny.edu. Location, Degrees, Accreditation History Since 1999, the GC’s vibrant campus is located in a nine-story landmark building at 365 Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. Formerly home to the B. Altman Department Store, the building was redesigned as a new, state-of-the-art facility to meet the specific needs of a twenty-first century institution of advanced learning. Because of the consortial nature of doctoral study at the Graduate Center, courses take place 5 at the Graduate Center as well as other CUNY colleges. For the most part, courses in the social sciences, humanities, and mathematics, as well as courses in the sciences that require no laboratory work meet at the Graduate Center. Science courses requiring laboratory work, courses for the clinical doctorates, and courses in business, criminal justice, engineering, and social welfare convene on other CUNY college campuses During Spring 2020, the GC enrolled approximately 3,594 students from across the United States and from approximately eighty foreign countries. Faculty members consist of 172 GC appointments (which includes library, lecturers and visiting titles) and 2003 additional faculty members that are drawn from CUNY’s senior colleges and New York City’s leading cultural and scientific institutions. Founded in 1961, The GC is devoted primarily to doctoral study and awards most of CUNY's doctoral degrees. This nationally unique consortium of 2003 faculty members including a core faculty of 172 and 3,543 doctoral/masters students as of Spring 2020, pursue a shared enterprise of expanding the boundaries of knowledge in over thirty doctoral programs and seven master's programs in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. A wide range of rankings regularly places GC doctoral programs among the best in the country. Two University Center programs affiliated with the GC include: the CUNY Baccalaureate Program, through which undergraduates can earn bachelor's degrees by taking courses at any of the CUNY colleges, and the Macaulay Honors College. Since 1965, approximately 15,000 students earned doctorates from the GC, and they are now among the leaders in our nation's teaching and research efforts, whether at universities, in the nonprofit sector, in business, or in government. By preparing a group of highly qualified professionals from diverse backgrounds to assume leadership roles in a variety of fields, the Graduate Center, through its faculty members, programs, and research centers, is filling an urgent need in the city, the state, and the nation. Mission Committed to CUNY’s historic mission of educating the children of all people, we work to provide access to graduate education for diverse groups of highly-talented students, including those who have been underrepresented in higher education.

The story of the Scotsmen who swarmed across the nar- row body of water which separates Scotland from Ireland, in the seventeenth century, and who came to America in the eighteenth century, in large numbers, is of perennial inter- est. For hundreds of years before the beginning of the seventeenth centurj' the Scot had been going forth con- tinually over Europe in search of adventure and gain. A!IS a rule, says one who knows him \yell, " he turned his steps where fighting was to be had, and the pay for killing was reasonably good." ^ The English wars had made his coun- trymen poor, but they had also made them a nation of soldiers.

  • Mexican Americans As a Paradigm for Contemporary Intra-Group Heterogeneity
    Ethnic and Racial Studies, 2014 Vol. 37, No. 3, 446Á466, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01419870.2013.786111 Mexican Americans as a paradigm for contemporary intra-group heterogeneity Richard Alba, Toma´s R. Jime´nez and Helen B. Marrow (First submission October 2012; First published April 2013) Abstract Racialization and assimilation offer alternative perspectives on the position of immigrant-origin populations in American society. We question the adequacy of either perspective alone in the early twenty- first century, taking Mexican Americans as our case in point. Re-analysing the child sample of the Mexican American Study Project, we uncover substantial heterogeneity marked by vulnerability to racialization at one end but proximity to the mainstream at the other. This heterogeneity reflects important variations in how education, intermarriage, mixed ancestry and geographic mobility have intersected for Mexican immi- grants and their descendants over the twentieth century, and in turn shaped their ethnic identity. Finally, based on US census findings, we give reason to think that internal heterogeneity is increasing in the twenty-first century. Together, these findings suggest that future studies of immigrant adaptation in America must do a better job of accounting for hetero- geneity, not just between but also within immigrant-origin populations. Keywords: assimilation; racialization; incorporation; Mexican Americans; hetero- geneity; education. Downloaded by [171.67.216.22] at 10:40 29 January 2014 Introduction In every immigration era, certain groups are taken as emblematic of the period’s problems and successes.

  • Managing the American Tourist Experience in Ireland: an Emotional Context
    International Journal of Business and Management August, 2008 Managing the American Tourist Experience in Ireland: An Emotional Context Dr Angela Wright School of Business and Humanities Cork Institute of Technology Rossa Avenue Cork. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The special relationship that exists between the United States of America and the island of Ireland has its origins predominantly in emigration. Through several centuries, the interaction generated by familial ties has steadily developed into a strong and lasting bond irrevocably linking both nations. The relationship between the United States of America and Ireland has provided the impetus for a continual flow of traffic across the Atlantic. This movement of people and vessels to and fro, engaged in the varied tasks of commerce, family interaction, and leisure, created a new energy for the tourism industry sector in Ireland which continues to flourish into modern times. This paper presents new findings on the Irish tourism industry, with particular reference to the American tourist’s emotional relationship. The paper seeks to outline the historical framework governing the development of the relationship between the United States and Ireland, and identifies the emotional and connectional factors that bind the two nations. Keywords: American Tourist, Irish Tourism Industry, Motivating Factors to Travel 1. The Contribution of American Tourist to Ireland The American tourist is of particular importance to Irish tourism as they contribute €731 million to the industry. This accounts for approximately 22% of Ireland’s tourism revenue (Fáilte Ireland, 2006). According to tourism industry managers, American tourists love the Irish product, predominantly visit Ireland during the high season, and are the most likely of all tourists to Ireland to disperse into the regions.

  • Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County 2 Summary
    Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County Advancing Health Equity and Inclusive Growth in Fresno County 2 Summary Fresno County is an agricultural powerhouse, yet it struggles with slow economic growth, high unemployment, and an economy dominated by low-wage jobs and few pathways into the middle class. While communities of color account for 68 percent of the population – up from 38 percent in 1980 – the county’s racial inequities persist across all indicators of community health and well-being. These inequities threaten Fresno’s future economic prosperity. The region’s economy could have been $17 billion stronger in 2014 alone if racial gaps in income were eliminated. To build a stronger Fresno, leaders in the private, public, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors must commit to putting all residents on the path to economic security through equity-focused strategies and policies to improve housing quality and affordability, expand transportation access, address environmental hazards, remove barriers, and expand opportunities for low-income communities of color that have historically been and continue to be left behind.

When Affirmative Action Is White: Italian Americans in the City University of New York, 1976 – Present Liana Kirillova MA Student in the Department of History Southern Illinois University at Carbondale 1 Present day discussion of affirmative action is usually confined to its association with minority groups included in federal racial and ethnic categories. The general public is typically aware of discrimination cases against Blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians because the media and scholarship on affirmative action are dedicated to these particular groups. Only a small share of research is conducted on white ethnics and their efforts to pursue equal opportunity. Despite the general failure of the white ethnic movement, one group was able to succeed on the local level: Italian Americans in New York City. In 1976, the City University of New York (CUNY) unprecedentedly included Italian Americans in its affirmative action policy, providing them with the status of a designated minority.

  • Tips for Socially Responsible Writing
    TIPS FOR SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE WRITING This handout addresses Southwestern’s Core Values of “Fostering Diverse Perspectives” and “Respecting the Worth and Dignity of Persons.” When you write, make sure you’re not alienating or excluding the perspectives of potential readers. Making blanket statements, speaking for others, and using outdated or exclusive language (even if it’s not technically profanity) may turn people off from paying attention to your argument. Below are some strategies to help writers avoid privileging certain perspectives over others. BLANKET STATEMENTS AND SPEAKING FOR OTHERS Blanket Statements: “Women are more empathetic than men,” or “people on welfare are lazy.” Speaking for Others: “Since he voted for Trump, he is probably racist,” and “Mexicans care about family values.” Both blanket statements and speaking for others are types of generalizations which are more common than you might think. Most blanket statements can’t be backed up with recent scholarly evidence, so make sure you can always cite recent claims with academic sources. Speaking for others can perpetuate racist, classist, or sexist, stereotypes. Remember that no individual, not even you, can represent a larger community. If you’re going to make a statement about a group of people, make sure you’re extremely specific and careful about the qualities being discussed. For example, “70% of Hispanic voters supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election,” is more accurate than “Hispanics are usually liberal.” Focus less on predicting how people will act/think and more on understanding their perspective/position within society. In addition to avoiding generalizations, you should pay attention to your word choice especially when writing about issues of social difference.

  • Asian-Americans: Culturally Diverse and Expanding Their Footprint
    ASIAN-AMERICANS: CULTURALLY DIVERSE AND EXPANDING THEIR FOOTPRINT THE ASIAN-AMERICAN CONSUMER 2016 REPORT DIVERSE INTELLIGENCE SERIES FOREWORD Asian-Americans’ influence on everything from food to technology continues to rise in the U.S. Asian-Americans: Culturally Diverse and Expanding Their Footprint, the latest report in Nielsen’s Diverse Intelligence Series, examines not only how the entrepreneurial spirit of Asian-Americans is contributing to the U.S. economy by boosting business start-ups, sales and employment, but also how their geographic footprint is moving beyond traditional strongholds in the Northeast and West as they make population gains across the Midwest and South. Asian-Americans are diverse, spanning the languages and cultural traditions of more than 40 different ethnicities. From an aggregated view, they lead the U.S. population (on a per household basis) for expenditures and usage, in a number of consumer categories, from food and travel to baby products, mobile digital devices, and social media. They are the most affluent (by median household income) of all major ethnic groups in the U.S., including non-Hispanic Whites, and are more highly educated than any other group. Their visibility in entertainment is increasing in Hollywood and beyond. However, we can not generalize this unique, diverse segment: a more disaggregated view is necessary to understand their consumption behaviors. Young, empowered, and growing, Asian-Americans’ economic clout will continue to expand. Understanding how to connect with this vibrant and multifaceted consumer group in today’s multicultural American mainstream will help shape the strategies necessary to succeed now and in the future. This report is a collaborative effort between Nielsen and its Asian Pacific American External Advisory Council, led by co-chairs Nita Song and Michael Sherman.
