  • The Politics of Charter School Growth and Sustainability in Harlem
    REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM by Basil A. Smikle Jr. Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Basil A. Smikle Jr. All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM By Basil A. Smikle Jr. The complex and thorny relationship betWeen school-district leaders, sub-city political and community figures and teachers’ unions on the subject of charter schools- an interaction fraught with racially charged language and tactics steeped in civil rights-era mobilization - elicits skepticism about the motives of education reformers and their vieW of minority populations. In this study I unpack the local politics around tacit and overt racial appeals in support of NeW York City charter schools with particular attention to Harlem, NeW York and periods when the sustainability of these schools, and long-term education reforms, were endangered by changes in the political and legislative landscape. This dissertation ansWers tWo key questions: How did the Bloomberg-era governing coalition and charter advocates in NeW York City use their political influence and resources to expand and sustain charter schools as a sector; and how does a community with strong historic and cultural narratives around race, education and political activism, respond to attempts to enshrine externally organized school reforms? To ansWer these questions, I employ a case study analysis and rely on Regime Theory to tell the story of the Mayoral administration of Michael Bloomberg and the cadre of charter leaders, philanthropies and wealthy donors whose collective activity created a climate for growth of the sector.

  • The Cost of Their Intentions 2005: an Analysis of the Democratic Mayoral Candidates’ Spending and Tax Proposals
    Civic Report No. 45 September 2005 The Cost of Their Intentions 2005: An Analysis of the Democratic Mayoral Candidates’ Spending and Tax Proposals Nicole Gelinas Senior Fellow, The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research C C i CENTER FOR CIVIC INNOVATION A T THE MANHATTAN INSTITUTE Executive Summary Since the mayoral race of 2001, New Yorkers have endured two years of acute fiscal crisis followed by a return to the city’s chronic fiscal troubles. Higher taxes have failed to end these difficulties: While the current budget is balanced, this year’s surplus will be swallowed up by a budget deficit next year. In- formed voters know that the city remains in a perilous fiscal state, with annual deficits of $4 billion to $5 billion forecast as far as the eye can see, even as the economy continues to recover from 9/11 and the bursting of the tech bubble in 2000. Despite these facts, the four Democratic mayoral candidates propose new programs that would hike the city’s projected $53.9 billion budget for next year by, on average, $1.66 billion each. All four candidates also propose to pay for this spending with even higher taxes on high-income earners, commuters or businesses. Former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer would impose taxes on Wall Street trades to pay for school-spending increases, and on owners of vacant property to pay for subsidized housing. Congressman Anthony Weiner would hike taxes on households making more than $1 million a year to fund a middle- class tax cut. City Council Speaker Gifford Miller would hike taxes on all three groups: high-income earn- ers, insurance companies, and commuters.

    539US1 Unit: $U77 [07-05-05 18:42:29] PAGES PGT: OPLG 306 OCTOBER TERM, 2002 Syllabus GRUTTER v. BOLLINGER et al. certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the sixth circuit No. 02–241. Argued April 1, 2003—Decided June 23, 2003 The University of Michigan Law School (Law School), one of the Nation’s top law schools, follows an official admissions policy that seeks to achieve student body diversity through compliance with Regents of Univ. of Cal. v. Bakke, 438 U. S. 265. Focusing on students’ academic ability coupled with a flexible assessment of their talents, experiences, and potential, the policy requires admissions officials to evaluate each applicant based on all the information available in the file, including a personal state- ment, letters of recommendation, an essay describing how the applicant will contribute to Law School life and diversity, and the applicant’s un- dergraduate grade point average (GPA) and Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score. Additionally, officials must look beyond grades and scores to so-called “soft variables,” such as recommenders’ enthusiasm, the quality of the undergraduate institution and the applicant’s essay, and the areas and difficulty of undergraduate course selection. The pol- icy does not define diversity solely in terms of racial and ethnic status and does not restrict the types of diversity contributions eligible for “substantial weight,” but it does reaffirm the Law School’s commitment to diversity with special reference to the inclusion of African-American, Hispanic, and Native-American students, who otherwise might not be represented in the student body in meaningful numbers.

  • Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA)
    NYC REDISTRICTING COMMISSION Public Testimony – August 23, 2012 My name is Matthew Katz and I have represented, by Island-wide election, the residential community of Roosevelt Island through four terms—eight years—on the Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA). Roosevelt Island was created in 1969 through a 99-year lease between the City of New York and New York State. Prior to that, the island, then known as Welfare Island, had a negligible population, now grown to 14,000 people. It was intended to be a diverse demographic, and in fact, encompasses low-income, middle-income and affluent residents with 60 languages spoken here. By virtue of its island insularity and the presence of a State peace officer department, Pubic Safety, the Island is recognized by the diplomatic community as a safe place to relocate families, and we have welcomed many United Nations families to our shores. The Island is administered by a State public authority, the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC), whose officers and directors are appointed by the Governor. RIRA has worked for fifteen years to require and increase resident influence in the decision-making processes, and in fact, legislation was enacted in 2002 requiring the RIOC Board of Directors to include a majority of Island residents. In 2008 and 2009, we presented six Island residents to the Governor, chosen in Island referenda, who were ultimately appointed to that Board. These steps towards grassroots democracy did not take place in a vacuum. We have been supported down the line by our elected representatives, whose primary district areas are located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
