Cornelius V. Robbins, EdD. Editor Prepared in the Department ofEducational Administration and Policy Studies Published by The Two Year CollegeDevelopment Center University at Albany 0 October, 1999 4) (3 bo 0- C../ 17 BEST COPYAVAILABLE t. 9 2 Introduction The Community Colleges of the State University of New York were begun in 1948 with the advent of the Community College law, passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Dewey. Unlike most other states, they were assigned to the operational supervision of the State University Trustees, as the State University of New York was begun at the same time. The total organization currently comprises sixty-four institutions, thirty of them Community Colleges. While much has been written about these institutions, and there is no shortage of research and data on them, much of it is in the archives of the State University, and difficult to access for scholars of the Community College movement. This present collection, or Compendium, is intended to remedy that difficulty, at least in part. Your editor has served as President of two State University of New York colleges (Genessee Community College and Cobleskill Agricultural & Technical College) and for ten years was Associate Chancellor for Community Colleges in the Central Administration of SUNY. As Director of the Community College office, he was responsible for liaison, planning, and coordination of the 30 colleges, under the leadership of the Chancellor and SUNY Trustees. However, in 1992 your editor became a Professor of Educational Administration at the State University at Albany, and began offering courses called The Two Year College in American Higher Education and Seminar in the Administration of the Community College. Much of the course work, naturally, focused on New York's Community Colleges as participants in and examples of the national trends. Other countries have been interested in the growth and possibilities of the community colleges, and workshops and seminars have resulted and been held in Taiwan, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. As a result of these activities, it became clear that a need existed to gather materials from personal files and other obscure (and not-so obscure) sources into a readily available collection of learning resources. The ERIC clearing house on Community Colleges offered to be a repository, and thus the work has been done. The Compendium consists of some twenty-five articles and documents, listed in the table of contents. Rather than insert an introduction to each of these documents these introductory statements are included here: 1. Dr. Phyllis Bader-Borel served in the SUNY Central Office for Community Colleges as Director of Academic Services, and received a major grant to fund a consortium of Community Colleges. Their purpose was to investigate the methods and relationships of teaching the humanities and technologies in a single, two year institution trying to fill several roles. This article summarizes their work, and was reported in Colleague; a publication of SUNY's Faculty Council of Community Colleges, which was published from the early 1980's to 1993. u 3 3 2. This report, from Cayuga Community College in Auburn, New York, is presented as an example of a typical annual report, which each of the 30 colleges prepares by regulation of the SUNY Trustees each year. They reside in SUNY Central archives. Address: Office of Institutional Research, SUNY System Administration, SUNY Plaza, Albany, NY 12246. 3. This 1984 report, On the Move, was prepared by Mr. Harry Charlton, then Director of Campus Relations in the Central Office of University Affairs. It was prepared for use in the annual campaign to keep the State Legislature and all constituents informed of the contributions of the Community Colleges of SUNY. 4. This article, by Ms. Bernadt Durfee of Broome Community College, is reproduced from the 1993 edition of Colleague, a publication mentioned earlier. It deals with an important curricular topic much under discussion in the Community Colleges in this decade, namely writing across the curriculum. The program described at Broome is similar in many ways to those of other Colleges. 5. This article, by Dr. Janet Edwards of the Office of Access Services of the SUNY Central Administration in 1993, is a review of the university's transfer and articulation efforts to that date. It includes a review and analysis of system wide data on applicants, acceptances and similar information, an analysis of the Board of Trustees transfer policies and a summary of the Community Colleges Presidents' narrative reports on Enrollment Planning. 6. Colleague provides us with the next article by President Marvin J. Feldman, in 1986; he was then President of the Fashion Institute of Technology. His fall addresses to his faculty, often widely shared with other Presidents, were always cogent, timely, and often inspiring. Widely and highly respected among his peers, Feldman was a leader with vision and verve. Under his leadership, FIT became the only community college (in New York, certainly) to offer both bachelors and Masters degrees. It developed a world-wide reputation in the service of the fashion industry. This article shows the wide scope of his interests, in this case on the business of teaching. 7. In 1988 Ruth Fossdahl and Thomas Nelson, then senior administrators at Genesee Community College, prepared this report on inmate education in the SUNY system. It appeared in Colleague in that year, and is indicative of efforts carried on by many of SUNY's community colleges. 8. Mr. John Kucij, of Hudson Valley Community College, provides a Colleague article which reports on a rather unique program--one to support education for welfare recipients. It is one example of programs Community Colleges offer their communities in often unusual ways. 4 9. Dr. Sanford Levine, a Service Professor of Higher Education Administration at SUNY Albany, and former SUNY University Counsel, provides a thoughtful introduction to the laws which govern the operation of SUNY'S Community Colleges. To provide more general access to these important laws, a copy of them is inserted following his introduction. 10. Retention has been possibly the most discussed issue on the two year campuses

    M E M O R A N D U M January 23, 2018 TO: Members of the Board of Trustees FROM: Kristina M. Johnson, Chancellor SUBJECT: SUNY Micro-Credentialing Implementation Action Requested The proposed resolution commends the SUNY-wide Micro-Credentialing Task Force (“Task Force”) for its report and directs the University Provost to work collaboratively with campuses to develop strategies over the next year to support implementation of the Task Force’s recommendations and to keep the Board apprised of progress. Resolution I recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt the following resolution: Whereas today’s employers are increasingly looking for candidates to not only earn a degree, but also possess detailed and easily accessible credentials that verify skill competencies specific to their hiring needs; and Whereas students are looking for ways to differentiate themselves from other job candidates in an increasingly competitive marketplace, and alumni are looking to gain new skills to advance in their careers and/or complete ongoing professional development; and Whereas colleges and universities are seeking to motivate students toward completion and explore myriad post-secondary learning opportunities through stackable and portable micro- credentials; and Whereas in response to these and other factors, institutions of higher education are increasingly embracing the multi-faceted micro-credential—which may take the form of digital badges, MOOCs, or other micro-awards—to both meet business and industry expectations and motivate and prepare well-rounded

These regulations governing student behavior have been formulated to be reasonable and realistic for all students. When a student has been apprehended for the violation of the community’s law, the state, or nation, it is the University's position not to request or agree to special consideration for the student because of his or her student status. It should be understood that the University is not a law enforcement agency. At the same time, the University does not conceive of itself as a "sanctuary" for law breakers. The University has always been and should continue to be concerned that whenever students are involved in legal problems they be adequately advised and represented by qualified counsel.
