Dates:
1985-1995
Physical Description:
3 cubic feet
Scope and Content Note:
The Education subject files pertain to the Assembly Standing Committee on Higher Education's review of legislation relevant to cultural and higher education in the state of New York. The files, which include correspondence, notes, news articles, drafts of legislation, and reports, address public funding of libraries and educational institutions; ensuring the health and safety of college communities; and promoting social diversity by increasing the involvement of African-Americans, Latinos, and other minorities in higher education. Included in the subseries are four folders of general reading materials that were apparently gathered as reference and background information to support the functions of the committee. Three public hearings are represented in the subseries. One public hearing concerned state funding of public libraries. The others both dealt with social diversity on campuses in New York: Social and Cultural Diversity at the State University of New York and Increasing Access to Higher Education for Under-represented Populations. Files related to public hearings typically contain notes, correspondence, and prepared statements or other testimonies. In addition to the materials related to the public hearings on diversity (B2F4-5; B3F1), the subseries contains data about the racial and ethnic composition of the student population of the State University of New York (B3F12). This data is for the fall semester of 1988, with preliminary numbers for the fall of 1989. Other materials related to minority access to higher education include news releases, correspondence, testimonies and presentations to the committee, minority representation and enrollment data, notes, reports, articles, and brochures. Included in the subseries are files that were created in the process of surveys conducted by the committee. One of these was a broad "informal survey to assess the nature of student health services provided by colleges." This survey requested from colleges the types of services offered on campus and the arrangement of staffing available to provide those services. A more focused survey monitored whether colleges had complied with an order to create campus security advisory committees. Other materials pertaining to campus security include news articles, text of relevant federal statutes, correspondence, draft legislation, brochures, reports, and notes. The subseries contains materials connected with various aspects of the Board of Regents: applications from candidates hoping to fill a vacancy on the Board of Regents, materials that relate to efforts to reform the Board of Regents, biographical profiles of the then current members of the Board, materials that reflect the process of selecting new members and information about scholarship and award programs administered by the Board of Regents. The subseries includes materials related to legislative oversight of proprietary schools (for-profit educational institutions). Items document amendment to education law concerning proprietary schools, including notes, draft legislation, and committee correspondence. Correspondence from the Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and the Proprietary School Advisory Council are also included. The subseries contains materials related to the State Education Department, including information about the department, correspondence, and information on education provided to the legislature for use during the 1994 legislative session. Also included are documents pertaining to rule making and policy changes of the State Education Department. Contained in the subseries are materials related to student loans including Standing Committee on Higher Education notes and background reading. Also included are memos and correspondence from other agencies: the New York State Dormitory Authority, Higher Education Services Corporation, and the State Education Department. These materials reflect introduction of or amendments to state policies and programs.Arrangement:
The files have been arranged in alphabetical order by subject.
