WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of The City University of New York established an Investments Policy Statement (the “IPS”) in 2014 establishing, among other things, guidelines for the University’s management of the Optional Retirement Plan and Tax Deferred Annuity Plans (collectively, the “Plans”); and
WHEREAS, The University in 2017 made certain changes and updates to the Plans to permit the investment by the University in an array of funds within the Plans; and
WHEREAS, In accordance with the guidelines established under the IPS, and as part of the review process of the array of investments funds within the University Plans, the University has been advised by its investment advisor, Cammack Retirement Group (Cammack) to substitute the existing TIAA-CREF Mid-Cap Growth Fund with the MFS Mid-Cap Growth Fund in all of the University’s Plans; and
WHEREAS, Cammack advised the University that the TIAA-CREF Mid-Cap Growth Fund had been under review for approximately eighteen (18) months in connection with certain performance issues and concern for senior portfolio manager changes; and
WHEREAS, The University committee charged with review of Cammack’s recommendations, then comprised of the University Treasurer, Sr. Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer, Sr. Vice Chancellor for Human Resources Management and University Benefits Director, determined that Cammack’s recommendations for the substitution of the TIAA-CREF Mid-Cap Growth Fund with the MFS Mid-Cap Growth Fund in all of the University’s Plans was necessary and in the best interest of the University;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York authorizes the Vice Chancellor for Human Resources Management to amend the array of investment options within Optional Retirement Plan (the “ORP”) and The City of New York Tax Deferred Annuity Plan (the “TDA Plan”), to eliminate the TIAA-CREF Mid-Cap Growth Fund as an optional investment for new contributions by participants in such Plans and replace the same with MFS Mid-Cap Growth Fund; and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, That all such changes made by the Vice Chancellor for Human Resources Management to such array of investment options to the OPR and the TDA be performed in accordance with New York Educational Law, Section 6251.
EXPLANATION: The new investment option changes, recommended by the University investment advisor, Cammack Retirement Group and accepted by those University administratorswill be made available for new contributions to the Plans and where permitted participant transfers from the current investment options. In accordance with New York Education Law, Section 6251, all investments made available under the OPR will be provided through annuity contracts.
MEMORANDUM DATE: March 2020 TO: City University of New York Board of Trustees: Committee on Faculty, Staff and Administration FROM: Cammack Retirement Group RE: Fund Recommendation –TIAA-CREF Mid-Cap Growth
During the quarterly review meeting held December 18, 2019 with the CUNY Team, Cammack Retirement Group recommended replacing the TIAA-CREF Mid-Cap Growth fund (“fund”) in all of CUNY’s defined contributions plans (ORP, TDA Plan). Cammack Retirement Group made this recommendation based on its ongoing analysis of the fund, the highlights of which are summarized below.
Background Leading up to the replacement recommendation, this fund was recommended for watch (original recommendation: Q1 2018 review (period ending 03.31.2018)). The fund was on watch for 6 quarters (longer than the typical 4 quarter period) due to the performance of the fund showing some improvement in a challenging market environment for growth managers. The fund was initially placed on watch for performance reasons. Although performance had shown pockets of improvement, there was a portfolio manager change. Susan Hirsch left the fund during Q2 2019 and Adrian Almazan assumed her responsibilities. The combination of the personnel turnover and performance concerns prompted the replacement recommendation in Q3 2019 (period ending 09.30.2019).
Proposed Alternatives and Next Steps As part of this process, Cammack Retirement Group provided four alternative Mid-Cap Growth funds for consideration at the time of the replacement recommendation. At the conclusion of the review of these alternatives with the CUNY Team, MFS Mid Cap Growth was selected as the replacement option.

WAIVER JUSTIFICATION
Name: Bonnie Keilty Unit/College: Hunter College
Department: Special Education
Dr. Bonnie Keilty was appointed as Associate Professor in the Early Childhood Special Education Program at Hunter College in Fall 2014. Her prior appointments include two years at University of Connecticut, two years at Teacher College , and four years at UNC Charlotte all at the rank of Assistant Professor. Prior to arriving at Hunter she was appointed as Associate Professor at Pace Univers ity. Dr. Keilty's nine years in tenure track positions and her five years at Hunter combined with her record of scholarship reflect substantial time and impact on the field to warrant consideration for early tenure. Dr. Keilty' s research and scholarship are located at the nexus of research, policy, and practice with a specific focus on creating cohesive early intervention systems and the importance of including parents when dev,eloping academic, social, and overall developmental goals for infants and children.
Research/Scholarship In total, Dr. Keilty has a total of 27 publications including 13 peer reviewed articles in the top journals in her field. She is first author on 15 of her publications and has 3 books that were published by Teachers College Press. Two books were published since her arrival at Hunter. One is a sole authored book titled "Seven Essentials for Family-professional Partnerships in Early Intervention" and the other the second edition of a previous book. Dr. Keilty has 65 scholarly presentations, 23 invited national keynote addresses and presentations, and 26 local presentation·s and guest lectures. She has received $40K in funding and has applied for several large federal grants that show promise for being funded in future submissions. Reviewers of her dossier commented on her impact on the field which includes the widespread use of her scholarly publications in graduate programs for Early Childhood Special Education. She was described as "constantly pushing the boundaries and looking for innovativeways to meet the needs of the field."
Others state that her work is significant "because it reaches so many front-line early intervention providers who have an opportunity to grow and learn from her work...she has published books that are invaluable for early intervention providers in Teachers College Press and are widely used by the field." Dr. Keilty' s contributions are important and timely and will impact the field for many years to come. She is able to motivate students and with relevant practicum and academic work. Dr. Keilty's publications consistently show her ability to describe philosophical principles in understandable applications as well as synthesize available literature - both theoretical and research to explain best practices.
Teaching In the past five years, Dr. Keilty personally oversaw the restructuring of the Early Childhood Special Education programs and all content/skills to be addressed within the coursework and practica. She's taught 6 of the core courses in the program and receives
the highest ratings from students ranging from 6.43-7.0. She is engaged in innovative training for teacher candidates including setting up playgroups for families with disabilities that serves the community at Gigi' s place.
Service & Leadership Since 2014, Dr. Keilty has been Coordinator of the Early Childhood Special Educatio n Program. In that time she has completely transformed the program course by course and established a mission and vision that serves as a model for other programs in the Special Education Department.
She serves as the Department Representative on the Curriculum Committee and School of Education Restructuring Committee and as the Hunter College Coordinator for Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504.
Dr. Keilty is well known in the field and previously served as President of Division of Early Childhood Policy Council, President of Connecticut Division of Early Childhood (DEC) Subdivision, and Chair of the DEC Recommended Practices Panel of Excellence. Furthermore, Dr. Keilty serves on the Editorial Boards of Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, and Infants and Young Children and a reviewer for 9 other publications. Her service includes the multi-year terms leading up to and following the role of President of Division for Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children (Vice-president, President-elect, President, Past-President)...is definitely an example of service above self and it is a reflection of how her colleagues look to Dr. Keilty for guidance. She has provided public testimony to city, state, and federal level based on her expertise in early childhood special education. She is on advisory committees and boards for agencies including Gigi's Playhouse and Teacher's College.
We believe that Dr. Keilty will continue her trajectory of scholarship and strong teaching and leadership and expect that she will be ready for consideration for promotion to Full Professor based on the SOE standards that include impactful scholarship , leadership , and teaching.

WAIVER JUSTIFICATION
Name: Olorunseun Ogunwobi Unit/College: Hunter College
Department: Biological Sciences
Please summar ize your justification for requesting a waiver. Give examples of the candidate·s publicat ions, quality of teaching, honors, service and other achievements. You are encouraged to use o nly the space provided on this tem plate but may add a second page if needed, particu larly in the case of a justification for early tenure.
Seun has been a prolific researcher, publishing 21 papers and a book chapter in the last 6 years. His work is highly regarded, as demonstrated by being named a Minority-Serving Institution Faculty Scholar by the American Association of Cancer Research and a Carnegie African Diaspora Fellow by the Carnegie Corporation. His stature in the field is further supported by the receipt of multiple research grants from the National Institutes of Health and The National Science Foundation. The scientific results from this funding has led to Dr. Ogunwobi having·5 patents. These address the early diagnosis of cancer, and can be incorporated into screening and early detection tests which could potentially save millions of lives. Most recently, his respect in the field was further demonstrated by his being awarded an NIH U54 grant to study cancer health disparities in urban populations. In this grant, Hunter College partners with Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia to examine the biological, economic, social and geographical bases for disparate cancer incidence, prevalence and outcomes in minority populations. Only a few of these grants are awarded each year, and rarely do they name an untenured faculty member as the contact Principle Investigator. Being awarded this is an amazing accomplishment for a junior faculty member, and demonstrates that NIH sees him as a leader in the field of Cancer Health Disparities. One of Dr. Ogunwobi' s evaluators best elaborates no this:
"Dr. Ogunwobi has made consistent contributions to the scientific medical literature, serves the scientific community, and contributes to the teaching mission. His trajectory shows no signs of slowing. Actually, he is doing better than ever. Therefore, at my current and former institutions, Dr. Ogunwobi would receive tenure. As a result, I absolutely support awarding Dr. Ogunwobi tenure without reservation."
Given his amazing productivity, his exceptional standing in the field and the fact that he has clearly exceeded our departmental standards for tenure, we believe that there is substantial reason to request a bylaw waiver to award Dr. Ogunwobi tenure one year early.
Attach the Request Form; candidate's CV; outcome of all P & 8 meetings: candidates personal statement; summary of student course evaluation; peer reviews; a list of referees. with those selected by the department marked with an asterisk; letiers from outside referees, and other relevant information.

Dr. Tyrel Starks received his Ph .D. in Clinical Psycholog y from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2009. As part of his clinical training, Tyre! interned at MercyFirst (a Human Service Provider focusing on children and families in need ). Tyre! then began his research career as a postdoctoral fellow at Hunter College' s Center for HIV Education, Science and Training (CHEST). After nearly 4 years as a postdocto ral research scientist, he accepted an Assistant Professor position at PACE University in 2013. Tyre! joined the faculty of Psychology at Hunter in September 2014, following a CHEST search, with a joint appointment as a Faculty Affiliate at CHEST and an Assistant Professor of Hunter College. Tyre! was promoted (early) to Associate Professor in Fall 2017, in recognition of his outstanding scholarly achievements. Dr. Starks maintains his clinical license in NY,as he has since 2011.
Dr. Starks was unanimously (5-0) supported in his application for Tenure by the Department of Psychology' s Personnel and Budget Committee. We received 7 outside evaluations of Professor Starks' dossier. All agreed that Tyre! is making important contributions to science with implications for human health, and is a superb educator well deserving of Tenure at Hunter College. In fact, these letters were all effusive in their praise of Dr. Starks' achievements and contributions.
Dr. Starks is an exceptional candidate by any measure. His scholarl y productivity is superlative, with 59 publications since joining Hunter College (33 since his promotion to Associate in 2017). Dr. Starks is exceptional because he has already exceeded the college's standards for tenure with both in quantity and quality. His grantsmanship is also exceptional and Dr. Starks has been instrumental in managing the several funded projects during the administrative leave of Dr. Parsons and in the aftermath of his resignation. Several of these projects have continued under Dr. Starks' capable leadership. During his tenure review, Dr. Starks' outside evaluators were effusive in their praise for Dr. Starks and his impact on mental health interventions. One outside reviewer called Dr. Starks a " national treasure!" Dr. Starks has far surpassed our expectations for tenure and conducts scholarship at a level far beyond his years of employment here at Hunter College. He is well deserving of early Tenure.

WAIYER JUSTIFICATION
Name: Christine Tan Unit/College: Hunter College
Department: Economics
Please summarize your justification for requesting a waiver. Give examples of the candidate·s publications, quality of teaching, honors, service and other ach ievements. You are encouraged to use only the space provided on this template but may add a second page if needed, particu lar ly in the case of a justification for early tenure.
Professor Tan is a highly valued member of the economics department. Based on our evaluation of her research, teaching and service records, and corroborated by the evaluations of six external reviewers, the P&B voted unanimously to recommend early tenure.
Prof. Tan's publication record easily exceeds our tenure standards on quality and quan tity dimensions. Professor Tan has published 13 papers, three of which were published in the past couple of years. A number of her publications are in top tier journals, e.g., the Accounting Review and the Journal of Accounting Research. Many of them are already highly cited, e.g., the Accounting Review article in which she shows that venture- capitalist-backed startups are less likely to manage earnings during their Initial Public Offerings of equity (IPOs) has 255 Google Scholar citations.
Prof. Tan had extensive academic experience before joining Hunter. More impo rtantly , she would have met our standards four or five years ago. Thus early tenure is well- deserved on the merits. The external reviewers of her academic record echo our own evaluation of her work -- that it is outstanding. One of the external reviewersseemed to assume that Prof. Tan was up for promotion to full professor and wrote that the "quantity, quantity and impact of her publications leads me to enthusiastically support her promotion to the rank of full professor."
More recently, Prof. Tan has been mining the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) data from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) using ' big data' methods to answer important research questions about firm-level reporting of accounting information. Starting in 2009, the SEC began to require public companies (starting with the largest) to report their data in XBRL. This is an important innovation because XBRL tags each item in a compan y's financial statement in a way which makes it easily searchable, downloadable , and comparable across countries and accounting standards. For example, one can use this data to understand the effects of unremitted foreign earnings on tax avoidance. Companies reveal foreign earnings in a variety of opaque ways. XBRL tags allow researchers to detect and aggregate such information in ways that were not possible before. More generally, for the first time in history accounting researchers have the opportunity to grapple with terabytes of financial information to gain insights that they could not before. Prof. Tan is on the cutting edge of this research, collaborating with various stakeholders in the XBRL communit y includin g standard
setters, corporate management, market analysts, software developers and the SEC. This research places her in a unique position in academia.
We believe that early tenure is necessary to keep her here at Hunter. Dr Tan spent a year at the Financial Accounting Standards Board studying XBRL. This gave her skills that are still rare among accounting faculty. Not only does knowledge of XBRL facilitate research that would otherwise be feasible only with an army of RAs, it puts Dr Tan in a position to put our students on the forefront of accounting techniques. This expertise, which makes her a leadin g expert in the field, has garnered substantial positive attention from academia, industr y and public sector organizations involved in accounting standards and information. It seems very likely that she will receive tempting academic offers in the very near future. We hope that, by granting tenure, we will substantially reduce Prof. Tan's temptation to consider offers from competing academic institutions.
Professor Tan's teaching evaluations are consistently outstanding. A very high fraction of her students fill out evaluation s and the scores range from 5.69 to 6.1 on a scale of 7. A peer evaluator reports, "Observing Dr. Tan in the classroom was an enjoyable and illuminating experience." The report continues " It is well worth noting that Dr. Tan had an easy and friendly rapport with her students . I was extremely impressed by the level of class participation. Students were interested in and engaged with the material."
Prof. Tan recently developed a course that introduces accounting students to big data skills. The profession has rapidly moved into standards that can benefit from big data analysis. Prof. Tan's course is on the frontier of that new wave.
Prof. Tan has been remarkably successful in placing our students in prestigious internships at the SEC and the FASB. This summer, our students who interned at the SEC were so successful that they are contemplating hiring them straight out of school, something they have never done before. Prof. Tan deserves enormous credit for their preparation.

RESOLUTION TO Award Joseph Fera with Early Tenure at Lehman College with an Application of Bylaw 6.2.(c)2
March 9, 2020
WHEREAS, Dr. Joseph Fera is a renowned mathematician with nine years of exceptional and continuous service as an educator at Lehman College who is respected for his research, problem solving skills, and development and implementation of curricular innovation; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Fera’s published scholarly work consists of mathematical research in hyperbolic geometry and geometric function theory, as well as interdisciplinary articles for which he provided the statistical analyses and 10 peer-reviewed papers along with several ongoing avenues of active research-in-progress, both collaborative and individual; and
WHEREAS, Via his teaching and curricular development initiatives, Dr. Fera also has on-going contributions to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, both individually and in collaboration with colleagues at Lehman and CUNY’s Central Office, and has obtained two grants as PI and one grant as Co-PI to improve math education from CUNY and Academy for Inquiry-Based Learning totaling $53,000; and
WHEREAS, A letter-writer, who is an Endowed Chair, writes of Dr. Fera, “His results are in the mainstream and appear in quality journals,” while another writes that Dr. Fera’s results are “interesting because they rely only on elementary facts from hyperbolic geometry and yet encompass a large collection of discrete groups with few constraints.”
WHEREAS, Dr. Fera integrates this research into his teaching, whereby he created an Axiomatic Geometry course based on student-centered collaborative discovery learning, which enhances the traditional study of deductive reasoning in setting of geometry and has been praised by one letter-writer because “empowering students to generate creative rational thought is a major goal of mathematics education that springs directly from how mathematics itself develops through research”; and
WHEREAS, In 2018, Dr. Fera was honored for his teaching with the Teacher of the Year Award, and holds a perfect SETL rating of 1.0 as an instructor in 40 of the 57 sections he has taught at Lehman, and a median rating of 1.0 in all but one of these sections.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, That Dr. Joseph Fera of the Department of Mathematics at Lehman College be awarded early tenure in an application of bylaw 6.2.c(2), effective September 1, 2020 subject to financial ability.
EXPLANATION: Dr. Joseph Fera’s scholarship, forward-thinking research, and dedication to cirricular innovation for the betterment of his students demonstrate his exceptional value to the University as a faculty member who should be retained.

WORK IN PROGRESS
• Nearest point retraction maps on continuous images of intervals, in progress. o Brief Description: The nearest point retraction map is a function described geometrically by considering the point of first contact between a given domain, a given range, and an expanding circle. Traditionally, the nearest point retraction map has been used on domains and ranges embedded in 3- space. This work considers the same type of map applied to a 2-dimensional setting. More concretely, we investigate the nearest point retraction map between an interval I and the image of I under a continuous map.
• Higher order exceptional points for geometrically finite fuchsian groups of the first kind, in progress. o Brief Description: The Dirichlet region is a hyperbolic polygon that completely describes the action of a fuchsian group on hyperbolic space. This polygon’s number of sides is bounded (from above) and, in almost every case, this maximum number of sides is attained. Points admitting Dirichlet regions with fewer than this max number of sides are called exceptional; regions having significantly fewer sides are called exceptional of higher order. This work addresses these higher order exceptional cases in the most general setting possible.
• (w. A Lazowski) Convergence of uniformly perfect domains and their associated domes, in progress. o Brief Description: The dome of a 2-dimensional planar domain is a 3- dimensional geometric object constructed by embedding maximal hemispheres within the domain’s boundary. These domes not only have interesting geometry, but they have also been applied to several applied problems in hyperbolic geometry and complex variables. This article considers a special class of planar domains, called uniformly perfect, and studies what conclusions can be drawn about the domes associated to a converging sequence of such domains.
• (w. D Bravo) Rotating function graphs in space, in progress. o Brief Description: Every function f has an associated graph; it is the collection of coordinates (x,f(x)) where x is taken from the function’s domain. It is not true, however, that every collection of coordinates

describes the graph of a function. This work considers when rotating a function’s graph in 3-dimensional space results in the graph of another function. The authors have already provided a full solution to this same question when asked in the 2-dimensional plane. Here, we look to extend these results to more complicated graphs.

Re: Early Tenure Recommendation Dr. Joseph Fera, Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics
This letter will describe how Professor Fera is a truly exceptional professor, and a tremendous asset to Lehman College and CUNY. And as will be clear from this letter, there are several very substantial reasons the college would be well served by granting him tenure and promotion.
The impressive body of Professor Fera's work, which informs this letter, is nominally divided into discussions of the scholarship of teaching, the scholarship of research and the scholarship of service. More important, however, is that the work shows that part of what makes Professor Fera exceptional is how his activities and motivation naturally integrate the three legs of scholarship into quite an interconnected structure. Award-winning inclusionary teaching informed by broad and interdisciplinary research unite with effective leadership at multiple levels of service to provide many substantial benefits. Of particularly timely relevance is Professor Fera's innovative curricular development, ranging from entry-level mathematics courses through the calculus sequence and into graduate courses. His expertise and leadership in this area will be especially critical during the upcoming change in CUNY placement policy.
Although Professor Fera is now in his ninth year of continuous and exceptional service at Lehman College, this is technically an application for "early" tenure since he started in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science as a Doctoral Lecturer in 2011 after receiving his PhD in Mathematics from Wesleyan University, and was appointed Assistant Professor in the newly-formed Mathematics Department in 2017. As this letter will explain, Professor Fera's insightful teaching experiences as a lecturer combined with his research mathematician's problem-solving skills to create the "perfect storm" that gave rise to the development and implementation of his curricular innovations. Most of these implementations are recent and/or ongoing, and are sure to have si_gnificant positive effects on successful graduation rates in the short and long term.
Professor Fera's published scholarly work consists of mathematical research in Hyperbolic Geometry and Geometric Function Theory, as well as interdisciplinary articles for which he provided the statistical analyses. He has 10 peer-reviewed papers published, and one more accepted, in quality journals, plus another which has been submitted, along with several ongoing avenues of active research-in-progress, both collaborative and individual. (This has been accomplished while excelling at teaching a full load.) And via his teaching and curricular development initiatives, Professor Fera also has on-going contributions to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, both individually and in collaboration with colleagues at Lehman
Page I of 5
and CUNY's Central Office. This work will certainly soon lead to published articles. He has obtained two grants as Pl and one grant as Co-Pl to improve.math education from CUNY and Academy for Inquiry- Based Learning totaling $53K.
Professor Fera has given 12 presentations on topics ranging from "Exceptional points for Co-Compact Fuchsian Groups11 as an invited speaker for CUNY Graduate Center's Hyperbolic Geometry Seminar in Spring 2018, to "Scholarship of Teaching and Learning" as the panel organizer at the MAA Special NExT Session at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Spring 2012.
Regarding Professor Fera's work in Hyperbolic Geometry, a letter-writer who is an Endowed Chair writes "His results are in the mainstream and appear in good journals"; and another writes that Professor Fera's results "...are interesting because they rely only on elementary facts from hyperbolic geometry and yet encompass a large collection of discrete·groups with few constraints". As an example of Professor Fera's integration of this research into his teaching, he created an Axiomatic Geometry course based on student- centered collaborative discovery learning, which enhances the traditional study of deductive reasoning in setting of geometry. A student quote from the course evaluation states that "this is the absolute best way to learn"; and the Chair's Report quotes the unsolicited comment "this class was amazing" from a student who went on to become a secondary school mathematics teacher after graduation, and observes that "Empowering students to generate creative rational thought is a major goal of mathematics education that springs directly from how mathematics itself develops through research, and Professor Fera realizes this 11 goal.
Professor Fera's work in Geometric Function Theory brings another of his research talents to light, namely the ability to find interesting lines of investigation from asking very simple questions. For example, a starting point for two of his publications involved questions about parabolas. (Yes, the same parabolas from secondary school.) As one letter writer observes, "This problem, though seemingly elementary, is both interesting and surprisingly rich". The Chair's report observes "Of course extracting research-level mathematics from simple questions fits perfectly with Professor Fera' s mission of sharing the mathematical experience with others, and he has given well-received talks on this research that are accessible to wide audiences, including undergraduates."
Regarding Professor Fera's ongoing role as statistician on seven published or accepted peer-reviewed interdisciplinary papers (plus another submitted), the Chair's Report notes that he "goes outside his comfort ·zone to gain satisfaction from,. and contribute to, fields other than mathematics. In today's data-rich environment it is vital that scientific research draws conclusions from data in an appropriate manner." And a letter-writer confirms that Professor Fera's contributions are solid by stating: "The analyses were sound and complete in the given domain." Judging from the enthusiastic comments by Professor Fera's collaborators, his interdisciplinary work is certain to continue. One explicitly states "I have no doubt we will continue our collaborations for years to come."
From other letter-writers we have: "I recommend Dr. Joseph Fera for tenure and promotion without reservation. His interesting, accessible and quality mathematics is respected and has added to our community. His work shows an excellent ability to clearly communicate mathematics to a wide audience." And, "...a solid mathematician with an innate ability to communicate mathematics clearly to a wide variety of audiences, including experts in his field as well as undergraduates."
In 2018 Professor Fera was honored for his teaching with the Teacher of the Year award, which resultecl in his hosting that year's Commencement. He has a perfect SETL rating of 1.0 as an instructor in 40 of the 57 Page 2 of5
sections he has taught at Lehman, and a median rating of 1.0 in all but one of these sections. His overall mean rating is 1.06. This extremely impressive teaching record has been accomplished while teaching an eye-popping 24 different preparations in the 17 semesters he has taught at Lehman, amounting to more than one new prep per semester for over eight years.
But exceptional as they are, there is much more to Professor Fera's substantial teaching contribution than can be captured by these data points. A specific example is provided by the following excerpt from the Chair's Report:
"A good illustration of the significant value Professor Fera brings to the college and the community can be seen in his impact on our Math Ed (Mathematics and Instruction) M.A. program. The students in this program are primarily secondary school mathematics teachers, and they are typically arriving to class at Lehman College exhausted after a long day of their own teaching. Here attitude and classroom atmosphere can make the difference between success and failure, and the benefits of Professor Fera's teaching and dedication are magnified as the students from his many Math Ed classes taught go on· to share their mathematical appreciation and knowledge with their own students. Professor Fera's influence is also felt even before these students get to class: He single- handedly took up the challenge to recertify our Math Ed M.A. program by patiently navigating a maze of ever-changing state protocols, and also re-designed/updated all of the courses, as well as serving as Graduate Student Advisor since Fall 2013 (which also includes advising "pure" Math M.A. students). Our department's teaching of teachers is a critical component of our mission: Improving the quality of secondary school mathematics instruction and breaking the cycle of low mathematical expectation and achievement in the Bronx is, in the long-run, the ultimate extension to the community of Professor Fera's philosophy of inclusion."
Professor Fera's teaching experience and problem-solving spirit has also led him to redesign curricula, course structures and placement processes to increase the likelihood of student success in entry-level mathematics courses, and to reduce the likelihood of miss-placed students being trapped in inappropriate courses. The Chair's Report writes that this curricular innovation "required deep thought on Professor Fera's part, as well as his detailed awareness of the many aspects involved in students' learning in all the involved courses, along with an in-depth understanding of the structure of the college programs. There are many facets to the resulting improvements, with components including technological support, built-in algebra review, and peer tutoring, ...Professor Fera's careful planning and extensive collaboration with multiple departments and programs has yielded concrete benefits: After designing our Pathways-aligned Quantitative Reasoning course (MAT 126) and creating a syllabus (with digital omponent) accompanied by uniform final exams for our Introductory Statistics course (MAT 132), we are now running close to 150 sections per year of critical entry-level mathematics courses with pass rates over 90%. And via the uniform syllabi and exams (which are used for assessment) this has even been accomplished with an increase in integrity of these courses."
Professor Fera's curricular innovation reaches beyond entry-level courses, with similar but even more subtle course restructuring of Precalculus/Trigonometry courses, and redesigned Calculus lab corequisites that include a more problem-solving, hands-on teaching approach. This has now become part of wider ongoing work by the Mathematics Department to improve student success in the Calculus sequence, and preliminary observations are promising. Page 3 of 5
Professor Fera's list of service contributions is extremely impressive. Within two years of arriving at Lehman College he was already serving in the senate, and his participation has since steadily increased to where he is now chair of both the College Senate and the Governance Committee, as well as being a member of the Lehman Academic Momentum Team. He also spent two years on the Budget and Long- Range Planning Committee, as well as being a member of the College's Steering and Review Committees for its recent successful reaffirmation of accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE).
At the departmental level, Professor Fera has served as Deputy Chair since 2014, and is critically involved in most all operations. The Chair's Report explains that he "essentially manages or oversees all day-to-day, semester-to-semester departmental functions, not the least of which is the hiring, scheduling and monitoring of our 50-60 adjunct instructors. This means that together with our full-time faculty Professor Fera is scheduling roughly 65-75 instructors each semesterl All in all, an execution of duties and responsibilities way beyond those expected of a Deputy Chair (or even of any single faculty memberl)."
From the description of his activities given in this letter, it should be clear that Professor Fera is a gentle leader and an exceptional teacher-scholar. As noted in his early Dean reports, he was even maintaining his research program while excelling at teaching a high Lecturer's load, and at the same time pursuing service. So, his tenure application is "early" only in the most technical sense, and has already received unanimous approval by the Departmental P&B and the Faculty Tenure Committees, as well as "virtually unanimous" (over 96%) approval of the Faculty P&B committee.
There is urgency in granting Professor Fera tenure sooner rather than later, as his unique blend of leadership will be critical in dealing with the upcoming change in CUNY placement policy, as well as seeing through the recent and ongoing implementation of his curricular innovations. The Chair's Report notes that "The elimination of the mathematics placement exam this spring may bring unexpected consequences. Although we· feel well-positioned to deal with whatever issues emerge, thanks to Professor Fera's work on our entry-level mathematics courses, we recognize maintaining robust entry-level mathematics courses and optimal placement is critical to the success of the college. And along with being in the midst of working to improve student retention and success in our Calculus courses, we are also in the process of developing new pre-actuarial and financial mathematics courses, as well as a Data Science minor, all of which can add significant value to our students' academic experience and employability. Professor Fera is providing leadership in all of these areas..."
Delaying the inevitable granting of tenure and promotion to Professor Fera would risk us losing him, since his robust demonstrated contributions could easily lead to an offer with tenure at another institution. One letter-writer, who is a Mathematics Department Chair, writes: "I ould certainly support Joe getting tenure and promotion to associate professor at my institution... and even promotion to full professor!" And a letter- writer who is a Dean of Science writes that he "is the complete package" and "All of his qualities would make him a valuable asset to any Mathematics department and he has my most sincere recommendation for tenure."
The Chair's Report states: "...although I am not aware that he is currently entertaining any offers, there are plenty of schools that would be happy to give Professor Fera a tenured position just for his proven ability to reform entry-level mathematics courses, let alone his stellar teaching and solid research (not to mention his statistics skills, which are in high demand in today's data-driven world)."
Page 4 of5
Thus, Professor Fera's exceptional combination of award-winning inclusionary teaching, informed by broad and interdisciplinary research, and united with effective leadership at multiple levels of servi e. provide many very substantial benefits to Lehman College. In particular, it is extremely unusual for one professor to directly positively impact the paths to successful graduation for as many students as Professor Fera does. His application for promotion to associate professor with tenure has my highest endorsement.
