AUTHORIZATION(S):

SUMMARY

Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda)

Should the Regents confer degrees upon students completing programs at Technical Career Institutes, Long Island Business Institute, Professional Business College and Taylor Business Institute?

Reason for Consideration

Required by State statute and State regulations.

Proposed Handling

The question will come before the Higher Education and Professional Practice Committee at its June 2007 meeting where it will be voted on and action taken. It will then come before the full Board at its June 2007 meeting for final action.

Procedural History

Technical Career Institutes, Long Island Business Institute, Professional Business College and Taylor Business Institute are proprietary colleges. Pursuant to Regents Rule 3.46, their degree-granting authority reverted to the Regents when they changed ownership. Until such time as these institutions demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Education compliance with laws, rules and regulations applicable to degree-granting institutions in New York State, the Regents award degrees on behalf of these institutions.

In the case of Technical Career Institutes and Long Island Business Institute, the Department is still conducting the necessary academic review. In the case of Taylor Business Institute, on September 26, 2006, the State Education Department ordered the termination of all degree-granting programs at this college at the end of the fall 2006 semester. To hold students harmless, the Regents will continue to be asked to confer degrees for those students who completed programs at Taylor before the institution was closed.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board of Regents confer upon the individuals listed, who have completed the requirements for their registered degree programs at Technical Career Institutes, Long Island Business Institute, Professional Business College and Taylor Business Institute, the respective degrees listed for each institution.

Information in Support of Recommendation

Technical Career Institutes

Technical Career Institutes (TCI), a proprietary institution, is authorized by the Regents to award the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) and the Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) degrees. This institution also offers certificate programs in technology-related disciplines. TCI was purchased by EVCI Career Colleges Holding Corporation on September 16, 2005. Until the Regents reauthorize Technical Career Institutes, under its new management, to award degrees, all academic awards are to be conferred on graduates by the Regents.
