F. THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK - BOARD POLICY ON PARKING FACILITIES:

RESOLVED, That the Board Policy on Parking Facilities be amended as follows:

BOARD POLICY ON PARKING FACILITIES

Governance

1. All college parking facilities that levy fees shall be managed and operated by the colleges' Auxiliary Enterprise Corporations in accordance with this policy. [The Corporations shall operate these facilities in accordance with policies promulgated by The City University of New York.]

2. College Vice Presidents for Finance and Administration shall be responsible for overseeing the implementation of [University guidelines] this policy on parking facilities.

Fees, Reporting and Accountability

1. Parking operations shall be maintained [on a self-sustaining basis] through fees charged to the users. The use of tax-levy dollars in support of [self-sustaining] parking facilities must be requested and justified in writing to the University's Vice Chancellor for Budget [,] and Finance [, and Information Services].

2. The revenues generated from the fees shall be managed by the Colleges' Auxiliary Enterprise Boards, deposited in a College Auxiliary Enterprise Board controlled bank account, and used [solely] to pay the direct and indirect costs [(e.g., parking decals, administrative, security, and maintenance services)] incurred in operating the parking facilities. [Direct costs include any reimbursement of tax-levy expenditures which have been identified.]

3. A restricted reserve fund may be established for planned capital improvements and related future obligations for the parking operations [pursuant to guidelines promulgated by the City University].

4. Parking fees may range [from $15.00 to $150.00] up to $300.00 per annum in fiscal year 2002-2003 and up to $500 thereafter. Different fee rates for students, faculty, and staff (and for full- and part-time status), are permitted within the range. Different fees may also be charged for reserved spots and spots in different locations. Exceptions to this range may be permitted only under extraordinary circumstances and subject to the approval of the [Vice] Chancellor [for Budget, Finance, and Information Services] and the Board of Trustees.

[5.] [The fees charged for use of the parking facilities must be justified on a yearly basis with a planned budget detailing the expenditure items and corresponding costs attributable to these direct expenses. The fees charged should be commensurate with the budgeted expenditures and be approved by the College Vice President for Administration.]

[6.] [Changes in the fee structure must be justified in writing and submitted to the University's Vice Chancellor for Budget, Finance, and Information Services for approval. An annual report of revenues, actual expenses, and any reserve funds shall be prepared for the parking operations. These annual reports and supporting cost documentation must be submitted to , and will be subject to review by, the University's Office of Internal Audit.]

[7.] 5. A control process for charging, billing and collecting fees must be established so that funds are properly accounted for. Controls should include prenumbered decals; reconciliation of fees collected to decals issued; safeguards over funds collected (use of Bursar's Office for deposits); and parking decals. To the extent possible, segregation of duties should exist over these fees inasmuch as it is an important control function. Any other fees charged (i.e., fines, duplicate parking decals, etc.) must also have effective controls established.

[8.] 6. The parking operations will be reviewed yearly as part of the Board mandated independent audit of the Auxiliary Enterprises Corporation. The audit report shall contain a separate schedule detailing the revenues and expenditures reported by the colleges' parking operations. A copy of the certified audit report will be provided on a yearly basis to the University's Office of Internal Audit.

EXPLANATION: The Policy on Parking Facilities adopted by the Board on May 22, 1995, has been reviewed after seven years as to the authorized parking fee ranges and mandated procedures, and is being amended to conform to existing practices and to provide for increased flexibility for the colleges. The costs of parking facilities, including administrative, security, maintenance, and rental costs, require this increase in the range of parking fees. The revised fee range of up to $500 per annum keeps parking fees at a reasonable rate for the City of New York. References in the policy to further University guidelines have been deleted because the policy itself has proven sufficient.

A. NEW YORK CITY TECHNICAL COLLEGE - BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY IN ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGY:

RESOLVED, That the program in Architectural Technology leading to the Bachelor of Technology degree to be offered at New York City Technical College be approved, effective September 2002, subject to financial ability.

EXPLANATION: Since 1968, New York City Technical College has successfully offered an AAS degree in Architectural Technology enabling graduates to secure entry-level employment in the architectural and interior design fields. Traditional job opportunities for architectural technologists are being eclipsed by demands for multi-talented practitioners. The proposed B.Tech program addresses this need in the architectural profession for high-level technologists who can bridge the gap between the architectural technicians (AAS degree) and licensed architects.

Graduates of the program will be prepared to work in architectural, interior design, and construction firms in positions such as job captain, space planner, detail designer, computer assisted drafting and design (CADD) manager, field representative, renovation coordinator, and landmark preservation expeditor. The program specifically focuses on the technology of architecture as opposed to the architectural design of buildings. The program's emphasis is on the renovation, rehabilitation, and preservation of existing buildings, which accounts for the majority (92%) of architectural work performed in the metropolitan area.

B. BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE - CERTIFICATE IN MEDICAL ASSISTANT:

RESOLVED, That the program in Medical Assistant leading to a Certificate to be offered at Bronx Community College be approved, effective September 2002, subject to financial ability.

EXPLANATION: Medical assisting is a multi-skilled allied health profession that requires technical training to provide point-of-care medical testing. Practitioners perform administrative and clinical procedures primarily in ambulatory settings such as medical offices and clinics. The purpose of the proposed program is to provide students with the essential knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level employment in medical offices, managed-care facilities, hospitals, medical clinics, and nursing homes. The program is designed to prepare students for the first step of a career ladder in the health services field.

All students are required to complete courses in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and phlebotomy. Upon completion of these courses, students may sit for certification examinations and receive certification credentials in these specialized skills. In addition, students will have the opportunity to continue their education and complete an associate degree.

The proposed programs listed above (1 and 2) include the Transitional B Certification and are specifically designed to meet the needs of students who are enrolled in the New York City Teaching Fellows Program. The Teaching Fellows Program is an accelerated "alternate route" for selected candidates with a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0. These students receive intensive fieldwork in the first summer semester (during which they are enrolled in graduate courses). At the end of their intensive summer preparation, students are awarded a New York State Transitional B Certificate which allows them to begin teaching. During their first two years as teachers, the Teaching Fellows are enrolled in one of the graduate teacher preparation programs above and receive extensive mentoring by certified teachers and college field supervisors. Upon graduation from the master's program, students are granted initial certification in education.

The proposed programs listed above (3 and 4) are designed for Graduate students in education who have completed the education sequence as part of their undergraduate degree and are seeking professional certification.

Graduate students in education who have completed the education sequence as part of their undergraduate degree will continue to enroll in the College's existing degree programs.

The proposed programs include the Transitional B Certification and are specifically designed to meet the needs of students who are enrolled in the New York City Teaching Fellows Program.

D. BARUCH COLLEGE - CENTER FOR INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING:

RESOLVED, That the Center for Integrity in Financial Reporting be established at Baruch College in accordance with the Policy Guidelines for Research Centers, Institutes, Consortia, and Special Initiatives set forth by the Board of Trustees in February 1995.

EXPLANATION: The purpose of the proposed center is to form a nexus of research and resources for public and scholarly examination of all aspects of society affected by financial transparency, audit, and corporate governance issues. The Center is designed to foster integrity in financial reporting through the sponsorship of conferences, research, and other scholarly activities, focusing on every aspect of the reporting process. In addition, the Center will provide advice and consultation that encourages ethical conduct by and for participants in the financial markets, including: corporations (executives, boards of directors, and auditors), individual and institutional investors (brokers, bankers, and security analysts), and regulating institutions (stock exchanges, professional associations, government agencies, and the courts).

E. LEHMAN COLLEGE - BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (BBA) IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION:

RESOLVED, That the program in Business Administration leading to the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree to be offered at Lehman College be approved, effective September 2002, subject to financial ability; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a Master Plan amendment be approved for Lehman College to offer the BBA degree in Business Administration.

EXPLANATION: The purpose of the proposed program is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to function effectively in today's rapidly changing business environment. The program emphasizes the art and science of planning, organizing, and leading organizations, whether private or public, for-profit or not-for-profit.

Within CUNY, only Baruch College offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Over the past several years there has been an increased demand for the BBA program and Baruch College cannot continue to accommodate all students and still meet the high standards of the BBA program. Thus Baruch College will not be negatively affected by a BBA program offered at Lehman College.

The proposed program builds upon an existing BA program in Economics with a specialization in Business Management. Only two new courses are required to offer the BBA degree at Lehman College. All of the remaining courses are already offered on a regularly scheduled basis at the College. Therefore, the program will be cost effective as well as an appropriate addition to the College's academic program offerings.

Since this is the College's first registration request for a BBA degree, the New York State Education Department requires that a Master Plan amendment be approved for Lehman College to offer this degree award.

NO. 6. COMMITTEE ON FACULTY, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATION: RESOLVED, That the following item be approved:

A. BARUCH COLLEGE - ESTABLISHMENT OF THE IRWIN AND ARLENE ETTINGER CHAIR IN ACCOUNTANCY AT THE ZICKLIN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS:

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York authorize the establishment of the Irwin and Arlene Ettinger Chair in Accountancy at the Zicklin School of Business at Bernard M. Baruch College.

EXPLANATION: Irwin R. Ettinger (Class of 1958) has been a loyal alumnus, friend and supporter of Baruch College and has served with distinction as a member of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Baruch College Fund. He has a distinguished career in finance and business and is currently Chief Accounting and Tax Officer at Citigroup, Inc. Irwin and his wife Arlene have provided a generous gift of $1 million to endow a chair in accountancy.

The purpose of this chair is to attract or retain an outstanding senior faculty member in the Stan Ross Department of Accountancy. Criteria for selection, in addition to the appropriate academic credentials, will include a significant scholarly publication record in accountancy.

The income from the endowment shall be used at the discretion of the President to provide an annual salary supplement and/or funds for research support, equipment or supplies.

B. HOSTOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE - RENAMING OF THE HOSTOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE ADVISORY COUNCIL, INC. THE EUGENIO MARIA DE HOSTOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION:

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York recognize the incorporation of the Hostos Community College Advisory Council Inc., and approve the use of "Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College" in the Council's new name which will be the Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College Foundation.

EXPLANATION: The Advisory Council was formed in 1981 by Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College, with the assistance of the CUNY General Counsel, to support and advance the educational and research activities of the College by raising funds through contributions and grants to the College. Apparently due to an oversight, the Board's approval of the use of the Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College name was not obtained at that time. The Council now intends to change its name to reflect its role as the official college foundation. The amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws will be reviewed by the University Office of General Counsel.

C. BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE - RENAMING OF GOULD HALL OF TECHNOLOGY TO THE CARL J. POLOWCZYK HALL:

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York approve the renaming of Gould Hall of Technology to "The Carl J. Polowczyk Hall" at Bronx Community College.

EXPLANATION: Dr. Carl J. Polowczyk served Bronx Community College for 37 years starting in 1960. Prior to his appointment as Dean of Academic Affairs in 1978, Dr. Polowczyk served eight years as the Chairperson of the Chemistry Department and Chair of the College Senate.

During his tenure as Dean of Academic Affairs, Dr. Polowczyk was the vital center and bedrock of the College. His truly vast knowledge of BCC, CUNY and higher education throughout the country was matched only by his tireless support for faculty initiatives to enable all BCC's students to fulfill their academic and human potential.

Dr. Polowczyk was responsible for establishing many new programs including those in Radiological Technology, Nuclear Medicine, LPN, Telecommunications Technology, and Telecommunications Technology Verizon, as well as Paralegal Studies and Human Services.

He was also instrumental in increasing the number of grants awarded to the College. He supported the development of a major grants operation through nurturing a small grants and development operation into the most successful community college grants and development operation in CUNY.

It is a fitting tribute to the memory of Dr. Polowczyk that the Gould Hall of Technology be named The Carl J. Polowczyk Hall.

The President strongly supports this resolution.

D. QUEENS COLLEGE - RENAMING OF THE PRESIDENT'S CONFERENCE ROOM 1 THE ALEXANDER BRAGINSKY CONFERENCE ROOM IN THE BENJAMIN ROSENTHAL LIBRARY:

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York approve the naming of the President's Conference Room 1 of the Benjamin Rosenthal Library at Queens College, the "Alexander Braginsky Conference Room" in memory of Alexander Braginsky, a 1987 Queens College alumnus.

EXPLANATION: Alexander Braginsky, a member of the Queens College Class of 1987, died in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. He had been employed by the news organization Reuters America. Both he and his mother, Nelly Braginsky, immigrated to the United States from Russia. Alexander had often expressed his gratitude for the excellent education he had received at the College.

The Reuters Foundation and Mrs. Nelly Braginsky have donated $500,000 to the Queens College Foundation in memory of Alexander Braginsky to establish a book fund. This donation will be used to establish the Alexander Braginsky Book Fund, which shall be used to purchase books primarily in literature and journalism selected by the College's Chief Librarian. In addition, Reuters America will provide two paid internships for journalism students available for a period of four years, beginning with the summer of 2003.

The Reuters Foundation and Mrs. Braginsky have pledged the sum of $100,000 to the Queens College Foundation to establish a scholarship fund in her son's name. The terms of the contemplated Braginsky Scholarship Endowment Fund, which are under discussion, will comply with applicable University policies. The Braginsky Scholarship Endowment Fund will be administered by the Queens College Foundation.

The naming of the President's Conference Room 1 is fitting tribute to Alexander Braginsky's memory and recognizes the depth of support given to Queens College by the Braginsky family.

E. LEHMAN COLLEGE - PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE GOVERNANCE PLAN:

RESOLVED, That the following amendment adding subdivision 3 to Section IV(A) of the Lehman College Governance Plan be approved: Nominations for promotion to full professor shall be forwarded to the College Committee on Faculty Personnel and Budget by the chairperson of the department when there is a positive recommendation of the departmental Committee on Personnel and Budget.

EXPLANATION: The proposed amendment to the Lehman College Governance Plan has been approved by the Lehman College Senate and is recommended by the College President. The proposed amendment will require that promotions to full professor be initiated at the departmental level, rather than at the College-wide Personnel and Budget Committee (College P & B) level. Since an arbitration award was issued seven years ago declaring Lehman College's traditional practice of initiating the promotion process to full at the departmental level to be in conflict with the Board's Bylaws, Lehman College has tried having such promotions originate at the College P & B level.

RESOLVED, That, in conformity with Section 2.6 of the Bylaws of the University, the Secretary of the Board of Trustees is hereby authorized and directed to execute the Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement on behalf of the University and to cause the seal of the University to be affixed thereto; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Chairperson or the Vice Chairperson of the Board of Trustees is hereby authorized to modify the Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement by deleting projects for which bond financing has not been approved by the State, or, with respect to Community College facilities, by the City and reallocating the respective amounts attributable thereto among the remaining FY 2003 Projects and by making such other changes as may be appropriate or necessary to give effect to this Resolution, upon information provided by the Vice Chancellor for Facilities Planning, Construction & Management and in accordance with advice of the General Counsel and Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs, and that any such change shall be communicated to the Secretary of the Board of Trustees by the General Counsel and Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs; and be it further

RESOLVED, That any one of the following officers of the University is hereby authorized and directed to execute on its behalf any certificate, agreement or other document required with respect to the issuance of any obligation by the Authority in connection with the FY 2003 Projects or the Agreement or Supplemental Agreement: the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, the Senior Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer, the Vice Chancellor for Budget, Finance and Administrative Computing, the Vice Chancellor for Facilities Planning, Construction & Management and the General Counsel and Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs.

The foregoing resolution authorizes the issuance of bonds for the FY 2003 Projects by the Authority.

A new series of revenue bonds will be structured pursuant to the recently enacted Article 5c of the State Finance Law which provides for the issuance of new bonds by the Authority (and four other State Authorities) which bonds would be financed by State Personal Income Tax revenue payments.

It is anticipated that a new agreement among the Authority, the City University Construction Fund and City University will be required by the Authority's Bond Counsel prior to the bond sale. This agreement will be equivalent to the existing Lease Agreements among the three entities that relate to past bond sales, except for the repayment provisions which future bond sales will be governed by a separate agreement between the State Budget Division and the Dormitory Authority.
