EXPLANAT!ON: The 1968 Master Plan of the Board of Higher Education included in Chapter 12, Planning f o r Physical F a c i l i t i e s , the following statement under Item 1 , Basic Assumptions and Procedures:

"Nevertheless, the City University has embarked on implementation of a policy of master planning f o r each of i t s ins t i tu t ions . Ut i l iz ing the advice of a professional advisory committee, and following intensive interviews, the University has se lected twelve archi tec t ] planner teams a f t e r an extensive search. Each of these teams has been assigned to develop a t o t a l archi tec tura l concept f o r a s ingle campus. Their assignments range from ins t i tu t ions s t i l l i n the s i t e se lect ion stage to the oldes t establishments needing study of par t ia l replacement as well as expansion of f a c i l i t i e s . These archi tec t lp lanner teams have d i r e c t and continuing contact w i t h the president and facul ty of the ins t i tu t ion they are studying.

"The resul t ing campus master plan will be based on the academic program as developed within each ins t i tu t ion . The o f f i ce of the Vice-Chancel l o r fo r Campus Planning and Development will introduce such guidance as may be needed t o maintain congruence with the University 's t o t a l enrol lment, academic and financial commitments. The central authority has the fu r the r responsibi l i ty of developing space guidelines and bases of comparison so t h a t space planning will be consistent within the University f o r s imi lar uses. This complex study a lso involves jus t i f i ca t ion of these space guide1 ines as compared t o parameters u t i l i zed by other public and private ins t i tu t ions . The study of these basic planning assumptions i s being carr ied on i n cooperation with the New York Sta te Education Department. A paramount consideration throughout is the ac t ive policy of the Board of Higher Education to encourage ins t i tu t iona l autonomy and avoid stereotyping of programs. "

Also in Chapter 12, under Item 3 , Specific Building Plans, the following i s indicated:

"Table 12-2 includes a revision of the l i s t i n g of the spec i f i c projects as they appeared i n previous issues of the City University Master Plan. The table has been revised only in those cases where planning o r construction has advanced to a point where such revision i s s i g n i f i -cant. Certain spec i f i c projects tha t have been advanced i n planning have been added.

"The University and the colleges are i n the process of developing campus master plans. Therefore, i t i s not possible a t t h i s time t o es tabl ish the to ta l l i s t of individual f a c i l i t i e s needed f o r any one of the campuses. However, Table 12-2 does include many f a c i l i t i e s t h a t were ident i f ied as essential pr ior to the s t a r t of the local master planning processes. This t ab le will be a l tered as the campus master plan f o r each ins t i tu t ion develops."

A spec i f i c campus development plan f o r Hunter College has now been completed by the indicated archi tec t lp lanner firm under the di rect ion of the University and in concert with the college.

Hunter College's Park Avenue F a c i l i t i e s , dating from 1913 to 1940, a r e inadequate f o r present and future needs. The acquisit ion of s i t e s on both sides of Lexington Avenue between 67th and 68th Streets makes possible and imperative a review of Hunter's s t a tus today and the establishment of progressive growth pol ic ies f o r the future .

The Hunter College Master Plan i s based on an expected increase in enrollment from the present to ta l of 7071 students to a to ta l of FTED 9009 students i n 1975. To accommodate t h i s enlarged enrollment properly, an increase in gross square footage from today's 761,400 sq. f t . , t o a to ta l of 1,529,188 sq. f t . , will be necessary. This together w i t h gross areas of 164,000 square f e e t f o r Hunter High School, 40,000 square f e e t f o r Hunter Elementary School, 35,000 square f e e t f o r the Police Precinct and 12,114 square f e e t f o r the Fire Station i s to be provided a t a to ta l cos t of $65,711,000 (estimate a s of April 1969).

New and needed f a c i l i t i e s provided in the Master Plan include facul ty o f f i ces , a great ly expanded l ib ra ry , removal of the high school and elementary school t o a new s i t e appropriately contiguous to new teacher education spaces, bookstore expansion, student and facul ty lounges and commons, research laborator ies , lec ture rooms, increased a t h l e t i c f a c i l i t i e s demanded by Hunter's new coeducational makeup, and a central ly-located refr igera t ion system fo r the a i r

i conditioning of the e n t i r e complex. Existing public f a c i l i t i e s on the eas t s ide of Lexington , , Avenue - a f i r e s t a t ion and a police precinct will be phased out without disruption of / I services and replaced with modern buildings operating independently from the college complex.

THE CITY UNIVERSITY (Calendar Nos. 9 through 13)

NO. 9. REPORTS OF THE CHANCELLOR: The Chance l lo r presented t h e f o l l o w i n g r e p o r t :

As you know, Mr. Chandler has found i t necessary t o r e s i g n as Chairman, and Dr. Burkhardt has been e l e c t e d Chairman o f t he Board. I j u s t want t o say t h a t I fee l an enormous debt t o Mr. Chandler. He became Chairman i n t h e f i r s t p lace t o make i t - p o s s i b l e f o r me t o s t ay on as Chance l lo r , and he has been a g r e a t a i d t o me and a g rea t personal f r i e n d , and we owe h im a g r e a t deb t . We are p lann ing a more s u i t a b l e occasion f o r o t he r expressions, b u t I d i d n ' t want t o l e t t h i s go by .

I ' d 1 i k e t o r e t u r n f o r a moment t o the ma t t e r o f budget mod i f i ca t i ons because t h e l i s t which was accumulated a coup le o f weeks ago has decreased. O f t he l i s t , most have been rece ived , s i x a re be ing rushed, two have been disapproved, and t e n a re s t i l l open.


The f l e x i ~ i l i t y agreement signed with the Budget Office t h i s summer has worked reasonably well. There i s a cer ta in amount of questioning on d e t a i l s , but whether t h i s i s a delaying t a c t i c o r not i s open to discussion. We do seem t o be moving ahead.

The admissions task force which we appointed will report a t the end of t h i s month. The repor t discusses many issues but leaves a good deal of f l e x i b i l i t y in the ultimate allocation of students t o colleges. In any case, a f t e r talk.ing about the repor t , I think the s t a f f feel ing i s tha t the report i s the Commission's report. The Board will hold hearings on i t and will take action in October cer ta inly i f we are t o have open admissions next year. I don ' t intend t o make any comments on the report when i t i s issued. I t might be useful i f the Board would refra in from comment until public hearings have been held, and the Board has a position on i t .

We have finished a f a i r l y intensive ser ies of ta lks with City and State author i t ies . The Sta te would l ike t o minimize State a id , and the City would l i k e to maximize i t . The City says we have not been gett ing a f a i r share of Sta te a id . The Sta te complains that we take the money we get and don ' t use i t . The Sta te has disallowed a sum equal to our government overhead on the ground that th i s should be budgeted. This i s a serious matter. There has been an attempt in almost a l l public univers i t ies t o get control of federal funds and par t icular ly of overhead. The State University does have overhead and retains most of i t , and we can probably do so,too, but i t i s a l l leading to a number of things the colleges a re not very happy about.

There i s some good news. The Administrative Council came t o the conclusion - which will not be put in to e f fec t until a f t e r tomorrow - t h a t they would prefer to downgrade inaugurations, possibly have the inauguration on the f i r s t graduation a f t e r the President i s appointed and have him give his inaugural address then. We are attempting to minimize the number of public ceremonies. There are some obvious reasons. I noticed t h a t Stanford did i t t h i s time around and M.I.T. The general pattern i s not to have lavish public ceremonies i f they can be avoided. This i s not a firm decision. Each college i s t o do as i t wishes.

In the pol i t ica l area, I would say tha t the Mayor has come out f a i r l y strongly fo r more Sta te a id . Each of the other two candidates has, too. The Governor's Office has been pressing the Chairman and me to s e t up a non-partisan group t o look a t the f i sca l condition ofl the Univer-s i t y . I talked t h i s over with the Regents, and i f they agree, we probably ought 'to go ahead w i t h such a group. I notice the Mayor i s strongly in favor of i t , and The New York Times has edi tor ia l ized very strongly in favor of i t . Unless we get agreement from the Regents, we would have to go ahead on our own, and i t would not be as effect ive .

NO. 9A. PRESIDENTIAL COMPENSATION: RESOLVED, That a presidential compensation plan be adopted under which the deputy chancellor and a l l college presidents be paid a basic sa lary as senior college professor, and in addition, receive a supplement ranging up t o $10,000 f o r t h e i r administrative dut ies ; and be i t fu r the r

RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee be empowered to f i x the supplement f o r the deputy chancellor and each of the college presidents effect ive October 1 , 1969; and be i t fur ther

RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee, in establishing such supplements, shall take in to account such c r i t e r i a as individual qual i f i ca t ions of the incumbents and longevity in o f f i ce ; and be i t fur ther

RESOLVED, hat ' the Executive Committee shall review periodically the supplements paid t o the deputy chancellor and the presidents.

EXPLANATION: The Presidential Compensation Plan (1 ) recognizes the appropriate faculty s t a tus of a1 1 presidents, ( 2 ) provides automatic adjustment of presidenti a1 sa la r i es with changes in the level of faculty sa la r i es , (3) permits the Soard of Higher Education t o give recognition to outstanding performance, unusual responsi bi 1i t i e s and exceptional qual i f i c a - t ions , and (4 ) provides fo r periodic review of presidential s a l a r i e s on a regular basis.

FINANCING LONG-TERM GROWTH

I n i t s 1968 Master Plan, t he Board o f Higher Education s t a ted i t s b e l i e f , " . . . t ha t t he C i t y New York should con t inue t o p rov ide subs tan t i a l suppor t f o r t he City U n i v e r s i t y bo th

"


The f i sca l c r i s i s confronting the City University continues unabated. The Mayor's Executive Budget f o r The City University of New York fo r 1969-70 reduced the University's approved budget by $10.6 mill ion fo r "emergency underspending." About $3 million of t h i s amount was restored by the City Council and Board of Estimate, but the University has had to increase student fees and l i m i t new faculty appointments t o other than professorial positions in order t o meet the s t i l l remaining budget gap.

State l eg i s la t ion , passed during the 1969 session, further aggravated the University's f iscal problems. Prior t o the passage of t h i s legis la t ion, the University received State funds in advance of the f i sca l year and on the basis of expected expenditure levels. Under the new legis la t ion, the State reimburses the University a t the end of specified periods of time on the basis of expenditures actual ly made. Since in past years the City has not permitted the University i t s f u l l budget a l locat ion, the impact of t h i s change in State legis la t ion will r esu l t in a reduction of the State Aid portion of the University's budget below the level that heretofore prevailed. As a resu l t , the University may not have suf f ic ien t funds t o finance i t s operating budget for 1969-70.

The Board of Higher Education, again, r e i t e ra tes i t s concern that the University's Master Plan cannot be implemented unless there i s a change in the method of financing the University.

A number of studies i n recent years have pointed t o the deleterious e f fec t tha t the City budget has had on the University's operations through i t s evaluation of the University's budget on a line-item basis. Considerable progress has been made t h i s past year. The City budget off ice has entered into a f 1 exi bi 1 i ty arrangement with the City University under which the University will have discretion i n the allocation cf the tota l funds made available t o i t by the City of New York. Under the agreement, the University 's budget i s funded on the basis of formulae agreed upon between the University and the City budget o f f i ce , but once the tota l funds are determined, the University has discretion in the allocation of the amounts. The agreement will be tested on an experimental basis in the f i sca l years 1969/70 and 1970/71 and will be adjusted on the basis of the experience gained during these two years.

MASTER PLAN on

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID

The City University i s committed t o the principle tha t New York Ci ty 's high school graduates should not be inhibited from seeking a higher education because they lack financial resources. As a means of f u l f i l l i n g t h i s commitment i t i s university policy t o pursue aggressively a l l sources of s t a t e and federal funding tha t are available t o provide financial aid to i t s students and t o provide matching funds from i t s own resources t o the f u l l e s t extent possible

- i n order t o maximize federal and s t a t e funding. The university program i s designed to meet the needs of i t s students effect ively, consistently, and equitably.

Towards these ends the university has under way or i s planning a se r ies of major undertakings. These include:

1. Establishment of a uniform comprehensive needs analysis system tha t will provide fo r meaningful evaluation of the needs of the disadvantaged student and will be applied equitably and consistently throughout the university.

2. Establishment of a standard financial aid application form that u t i l i zes data already collected through the admissions process and minimizes the demand on the student fo r additional data.

3. Submission of a s ingle financial aid application t o the federal-government for the under-graduate student financial aid programs in l i eu of individual college applications as a means of f a c i l i t a t i n g t ransfer of funds within the university, thus providing for optimal use of funds . 4. Establishment of a centralized procedure for collection of student loans tha t will sa t i s fy federal .requirements fo r due di 1 igence with minimal financial and administrative burden on the university.

The main p rov i s i ons o f the Tay lo r Law, which became e f f e c t i v e September 1, 1967, were t h a t i t:

(a) granted p u b l i c employees t he r i g h t t o be represented by employee organ iza t ions o f t h e i r choi ce;

Under the PERB Rules of Procedure, an organization may be c e r t i f i e d only i f i t receives a majority of a l l votes c a s t in the e lect ion.

The United Federation of College Teachers, winning a c l ea r majority in the Unit I1 election, was c e r t i f i e d as exclusive negotiating agent fo r Lecturers, and, lacking a c l e a r majority se lect ion f o r any choice in Unit I , a runoff e lect ion was ordered held on December 17 and 18, 1968. A t t h i s time, the Legislative Conference received a majority of votes cas t and was c e r t i f i e d as exclusive bargaining agent f o r Unit I , composed of the full- t ime career faculty.

In the f i r s t e lec t ion, 7,700 votes were cas t in two un i t s , and nearly 4 ,100~votes were cas t in the runoff e lect ion.

The University conducted separate col lec t ive negotiations with each bargaining agent from February 1969 through September 1969.

Negotiations have been concluded and agreements reached with the Legislative Conference and the United Federation of Teachers covering the three-year period from September 1 , 1969 t o August 31, 1972. These a re the f i r s t co l l ec t ive bargaining contracts between a major university and i t s facul ty organizations in the nation and t h e i r impact will be f e l t by every university i n the country.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Chapter 24 of the Laws of 1969 (of New York S ta te ) directed the Mayor of the City of New York t o demonstrate in a report t o the Legislature on August 1 , 1969, tha t the New York City Office of Collective. Bargaining has taken s teps and has developed plans t o conform City labor re la t ion practices " in to substantial equivalence" with PERB.

In a report of compl iance on August 1, 1969, Mayor John V. Lindsay, among other measures, reconmended tha t the Board of Higher Education be placed under the jur isdic t ion of the New York City Office of Collective Bargaining, instead of i t s present jur isdic t ion under PERB. Such a move requires l e g i s l a t i v e action f o r implementation. Transferring labor re1 ations jur isdic t ion t o Office of Collective Bargaining may a f fec t un i t s t ructure and contract administration.

I t i s possible f o r an employee organization t o challenge, a f t e r a period of time, an exclusive bargaining agent. I f such challenge takes place, a new elect ion may be ordered. This would allow employees to change t h e i r co l l ec t ive bargaining agent i f they so des i re . Thus such a challenge may be anticipated.

A major i ssue , as ye t to be tes ted, i s whether o r not the t radi t ional ro le of the facul ty will be a l tered as a r e su l t of the introduction of col lec t ive bargaining t o the un.iversity campus. Faculty members have in the past shared governance and administration. They a re . i n a legal sense, employees, but in that the Board has delegated to the facul ty , subject t o Board review, the r ight t o appoint, reappoint o r discharge, and promote themselves, facul ty members a re a l so agents of the Board. Thus, in a sense, they are employees and employer a t the same time.

The next several years experience under facul ty col l ec t ive bargaining will provide indica-t ions whether col lec t ive bargaining will a l t e r the t radi t ional ro le of the facul ty , o r , of equal significance, whether i t will be the facul ty who wi 11 a1 t e r the t radi t ional concept of co l l ec t ive bargaining. Whatever the outcome, i t i s ce r t a in t h a t these developments will be closely watched by University facul ty and administrators throughout the United Sta tes .

EXPLANATION: The 1969 Master Plan Revision was s i l e n t on financing the long-term growth of the University because of the s t a tus of the City University 's budget requests a t the time the d r a f t was prepared. This a lso applies to the Student Aid section.

Recent co l l ec t ive bargaining negotiations with the instructional s t a f f require a statement f o r inclusion in the Master Plan.
