These proceedings (that comprise the Con- ference's program) are edited texts of the oral presentations. All of the presentations made at each session are grouped together under that session title. The report for each session includes a synopsis of the session, a brief statement identifying each presenter, and the papers presented at that session. The purpose of theWICHE project on Extended Degree Programs was to contribute to the development of sound and successful xtended degree programs as one segment of postsecondary education for adults. It was with this purpose in mind that the conference was planned. The conference had several-basic goals: 1. To foster acquaintance and communication among persons involved in extended degree programs throughout the 13 western states 2. To propose varied solutions to major problems that have been identified by persons responsible for the operation of extended degree programs 3. To identify further service opportunities for extended degree programs and to suggest ways of making use of these opportunities 4. To consider the present and the future of extended degree pro- grams iW the whole context of postsecondary education 5. To identify future service roles that could be undertaken by WICHE or by other organizations or groups in the West The success of any conference depends on the quality of the papers presented and the quality of participants who discuss them. In both respects we were indeed fortunate. We wish to acknowledge the ccntribu- tion of the presenters who generously gave of their time in preparing their presentations. We also wish to acknowledge the contribution of the session leaders who actively provided leadership for each sessior and of the conference participants who attended and participated. The second element of the project on extended degree programs was the Extended Degree Programs Survey in the West. The results of the survey were published in July. Copies of this report were distributed to all conference participants.The report was mailed to all institutions in the West and to state offices of higher education. It is our hope that the report of the survey and the Conference on Extended Degree Programs in the West have provided useful information and stimulation for continuing study and improvement of this important service of postsecondary education. 5 Thomas M. Shay Conference Director Redefining Higher Education Alex C. Sherriffs Dr. Sherriffs provided a base for the conference in his discussion of recent, current, and possible future needs; the demands for "different" or "nontraditional" higher education; and the responses to those needs and demands. He raised broad as well as specific questions to stimulate the entire conference group to think of extended degree programs as one aspect of the very wide range of higher education services. Alex C. Sherriffs Vice-Chancellor, Academic Affairs .California State University and Colleges Alex Sherriffs was appointed vice-chancellor, Academic Affairs, the California State University and Colleges, in September 1973. He has served as education advisor to Governor Ronald Reagan; prior to that, he held administrative and teaching positions at the University of California, Berkeley. "Redefining" higher education is a useful and even necessary task, particularly during times of societal pressures for changing our purposes and functions. When outside pressures, political and social, combine with an internal lack of consensus, we face an identity crisis sufficient to, require careful diagnosis and both short-term and long-term provision for therapy. I suspect that many of us believe that this is where we are today Public primary and secondary education have been more subject than we have been to political pressures and controls. Can we learn from that arena what may be in store for us?In recent years, society has managed to overwhelm public education, kindergarten through grade 12, by requiring that it carry out many socially significant, often noneduca- tive, functions for which very few educators have been trained. Further, when society's agents, whether legislative, executive, or administrative, choose public education for the locus of yet another social improvement they are always in a hurry, and largely they oversimplify the implications of what they do. Thus, they fail to provide time or expertise so that educators can prepare for implementation. I refer to such mandated functions as nutrition, health, the resolution of drug problems, the pre- vention and control of venereal disease, and the working out of society's difficulties in regard to race relations. Schools are where the children are--hence the co-option. Many of the social challenges the schools have been given are, of course, worthy challenges. It is not clear how well the public schools have been able t6 meet the new responsibilities given them. It is clear, however, that

  • The Clustered Masses
    ch8.qxd 6/17/99 12:26 PM Page 280 CHAPTER 8 New York: The Clustered Masses New York, unlike California, has an immigrant-friendly reputation. In the 1840s and 1850s, when Irish immigrants were being persecuted for their Catholicism in the New England states, they often found a much less hos- tile reception in New York (Billington 1961; Glazer and Moynihan 1963). Although New York state lacks constitutional provisions for direct legisla- tion, there was no serious consideration of Proposition 187-style bills in the state legislature as there was in other states. New York City’s Republican mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, actively opposed GOP plans in Congress to place new restrictions on legal immigration in 1995 and 1996. When Con- gress gave states the option of ending or continuing certain welfare bene‹ts for legal immigrants in 1996, Republican Governor George Pataki quickly acted to continue these programs at state expense while lobbying Congress to reconsider the decision to cut federal aid. Republican leaders in New York were hardly on the restrictionist bandwagon like the California GOP. Nor has there been much grassroots protest of immigrants. New York receives fewer immigrants than California but its immi- grant population is far from inconsequential. In 1990, the state was home to nearly 2.9 million immigrants—second only to the Golden State. These immigrants are clustered primarily in the state’s largest cities, and, of these, the ‹ve New York City boroughs stand out. Only 3 percent of immi- grants resided in New York’s rural areas, compared with 18 percent of the native born in 1990.
