Administrative History

The New York State Assembly Standing Committee on Higher Education first convened in 1975. It is responsible for the initiation and review of legislation relevant to higher education and the professions in New York State. It also monitors the ongoing activities of professions regulated and licensed by the state and offers guidance on policy and funding to the state's library network. According to its 1988 annual report, "few legislative committees have jurisdiction which impact on such a broad range of public policy fields as the Committee on Higher Education."
