Gslisadjuncts Minutes from April 5 Curriculum Committee Meeting
by Mary K Chelton 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Minutes Curriculum Committee April 5, 2012 The meeting began at 12:35 p.m. Present: Brody, Chelton, Cool, Cooper, Marielle (qcLISSA) The committee who had previously voted and solicited a faculty approval vote, ratified the LMS proposal to change the SEYS course options available for non certified LMS students to satisfy their education course requirements from SEYS 536 Educational Foundations to SEYS 705 School and Community, and from SEYS 552 Educational Psychology to SEYS 710 The Psychology of Adolescence Dr. Brody pointed out that GSLIS was not in compliance with Faculty Senate rules for course approval, and the committee asked that the Chair circulate this rule to all faculty, full time and adjunct. After some discussion, it was decided to ask the Technology Committee to meet with the Curriculum Committee to discuss the 700/706 issue. Dr. Marcum suggested that the Curriculum Committee consider making Management a required course and that public library management be made part of the requirements for the Childrens and Young Adult certificate. Dr. Brody moved that 717 be renamed “Digital Humanities” with a revised description to match. The committee unanimously approved. (This was taken to the full faculty meeting and subsequently approved there.) Dr. Li’s syllabus for a Social Media course was reviewed and rejected for lack of a critical framework, lack of graduate level assignments and contextual background. A more detailed memo for Dr. Li is being drafted by Drs. Brody and Chelton. Professor Szeto’s music librarianship syllabus was enthusiastically approved with the suggestion that mention of supplies can be deleted and the phrase about student work be added. After some discussion of 737, Dr. Chelton said she would call Dr. Smith about the summer version of this course. Dr. Brody pointed out that there were still glitches among the graduate bulletin, CUNYFirst, our own website, etc. She volunteered to ask Chris Vickery to help us verify what exactly is in CUNYFirst. The meeting adjourned at 2 p.m. Mary K. Chelton

Gslisadjuncts Fwd: [NYLINE] New York State Board of Regents Accepts 2020 Vision and Plan for Library Service

27 Apr '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: DLD <DLD(a)mail.nysed.gov> Date: Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 12:51 PM Subject: [NYLINE] New York State Board of Regents Accepts 2020 Vision and Plan for Library Service To: NYLINE(a)listserv.nysed.gov *****New York**** State**** Board of Regents Accepts 2020 Vision and Plan for Library Service* April 27, 2012**** ** ** Deputy Commissioner for Cultural Education and ****Acting** **State****Librarian Jeffrey W. Cannell announced today that the New York State Board of Regents Cultural Education Committee unanimously and enthusiastically accepted *Creating the Future, a 2020 Vision and Plan for Library Service in New York State: Recommendations of the New York State Regents Advisory Council on Libraries to the New York State Board of Regents* at their meeting on Tuesday, April 24*.* The Plan is posted at: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/adviscns/rac/2020final/index.html. **** ** ** Gerald Nichols, Chair of the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries, and John Hammond, Vice-Chair, presented the vision and plan and reviewed major highlights of the two year statewide planning process. Their remarks are posted at http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/adviscns/rac/2012testimony.htm. Nichols summarized his remarks with the following statement, “We ask you (the Board of Regents) to reaffirm your role as champion of our state’s libraries and library systems; to help us set a new course for the future and to recognize that, in spite of economic challenges, quality library service must be available to every child and every adult in New York.” ** ** In addition to voting unanimously to accept the plan, the Board of Regents also directed Deputy Commissioner Cannell to work with the Council and others to develop an implementation strategy and detailed action plan. The plan will identify which of the recommendations will be implemented through Regents action, which may require changes to legislation and which may require some other type of action by the State Library, the library community and/or other key stakeholders. ** ** In April 2010 the Board of Regents challenged the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries to develop a new plan for library services in ****New York****. In response, the Council requested input from the library and education communities, as well as from library users across the state. Hundreds of comments were received and used to develop initial drafts of the vision document. Responses informed the Council on the importance of libraries in their communities, particularly with regard to the ability of libraries to adapt to the surrounding technological environment and serve individuals of any age or economic standing. **** ** ** For more information about the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries and the 2020 Vision planning process, and to view Nichols and ****Hammond****’s comments to the Board of Regents, visit the Advisory Council’s website at: * http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/adviscns/rac/index.html *.

Gslisadjuncts Higher Education in the Prison: film premiere May 11 at the CUNY Graduate Center
by Roberta Brody 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

The premiere screening of “Higher Education in the Prisons” is on Friday May 11, 2012, 1:00 - 3:30, CUNY Graduate Center. (RSVP is required, please email Vernice.Blanchard(a)mail.cuny.edu or 212-794-5539.) This link http://cunyufs.org/statement.pdf has the text below. (Currrent GSLIS studentStassia Pasela performed some of the photo research for this project.:) Here is the text: The premiere screening of “Higher Education in the Prisons” is on Friday May 11, 2012, 1:00 - 3:30, CUNY Graduate Center. (RSVP is required, please email Vernice.Blanchard(a)mail.cuny.edu or 212-794-5539.) Professor Campbell Dalglish (CCNY) created the documentary from the University Faculty Senate Conference on Higher Education in the Prisons. Professor Dalglish, is a screenwriter, filmmaker, and has developed and facilitated prison education programs. He demonstrates, in his documentary, how these programs, “effectively reverse the pipeline from our broken public school systems into corporate owned prisons, giving inmates an educated plan for life that can promise rehabilitation, not only for criminals, but for society as a whole.” The UFS Conference, held in February of 2011, brought together a dynamic presentation of seven tri-state prison education program leaders, students, and university researchers. The panels include the Bard College Prison Initiative, Bedford Hills College Program, Drew University, Hudson Link College Program, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Nicholson Foundation, NYC Justice Corps, NYC Prisoner Reentry Institute, Princeton University, Raritan Valley Community College, The Inside-Out Center, Queensboro Correction Facility, Queensborough Community College, Weslyan University, Vassar College. The film demonstrates the transformative power of education to change lives, create new family dynamics, and a positive role in society. In the film you will survey discussions and research on how corrections officers see education change their prisons; how admissions, curriculum planning, and the unique obstacles created in the environment when teaching in prison are addressed. The interest in the conference far exceeded our limitations of space and we hope you will be able to join this opportunity to attend premiere screening of the film. There will be a panel discussion with opportunity for audience questions. Please rsvp by email to Vernice.Blanchard(a)mail.cuny.edu. The UFS Higher Education in the Prisons Committee, Emily Tai, Chair Director’s Statement, by Campbell Dalglish “Down by law at the Devil’s School” was a term often used by inmates I was working with in a special drama program at the Bridgeport Corrections Institution in Connecticut back in 1987. “Down by law” meant that while in prison inmates would abide by the laws set by the inmates - not by our government, or the wardens, not by the guards or the priests or the counselors or teachers – it was code for obeying rules created and executed by inmates, and they were both incendiary and critical for surviving a very mean penal system. “Will they (my fellow inmates) have my back if something happens and I really need it?” is the question that dominates most inmate behavior on a daily minute–by-minute basis. When inmates graduate from the Devil’s School, they’re smarter criminals with more muscle and more shared knowledge about how to commit a crime better than before. Given the clothes they came in with, 75 bucks, an unemployable degree from the Devil’s School, a pat on the back and sent back into the community, what do we expect them to do? Without a plan, without a viable alternative, WITHOUT AN EDUCATION they would turn to what sent them into jail in the first place, with the main goal not to get caught. On February 4th, 2011, the UFS of CUNY put together a masterful conference on HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE PRISONS. Expert panelists from seven different private institutions in New England who currently have education programs in prisons discussed how their programs effectively reverse the pipeline from our broken public school systems into corporate owned prisons, giving inmates an educated plan for life that can promise rehabilitation, not only for criminals, but for society as a whole. Listen to our own John Jay College President Jeremy Travis describe the “Iron Law” of the American prisons, which is that all prisoners eventually come back home–to family and to community. Where’s the hope for their participation? How do they become citizens engaged in a progressive society? What motivates them to want to put their shoulder against the wheel of positive social change- theirs and ours? It all lies in education, education they can access while in prison, and continue once they come home. On May 11th, 1 P.M. at the CUNY Graduate Center we will screen a 90-minute version of this engaging thought-provoking conference. Come and revisit the presentations, and get in on the discussion. This affects every American community, every American public educational institution. Get in as an educator, get in as a citizen. Get in the game of re-civilizing our American culture from within our penal system with Public Higher Education. In this context CUNY’s mission of “Access to Excellence” could not be a more potent cure for all of us.
