Best, Emily From: Patricia Price/Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Jennifer Jarvis/Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management/Queens College <qcmailer(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Monday, August 18, 2025 at 10:34 AM To: Emily Drabinski <emily.drabinski33(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: Revised: Academic Calendar and Jewish Holidays this October [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] From Patricia Price, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Jennifer Jarvis, Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management: After reviewing the academic calendar set by CUNY for this semester, we wanted to call to your attention to the fact that the schedule for Jewish holidays this fall as they intersect with the academic calendar will present particular challenges for religiously observant Jewish students.

Gslisadjuncts FW: Fall 2025 Academic Memo
by Emily Drabinski 18 Aug '25

18 Aug '25

Hi all, Please see below for helpful reminders from our academic integrity office. Best, Emily From: Emanuel Avila/Associate Director of Judicial Affairs/Academic Integrity Officer/Queens College <qcmailer(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Monday, August 18, 2025 at 12:06 PM To: Emily Drabinski <emily.drabinski33(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: Fall 2025 Academic Memo [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] From Emanuel Avila, Associate Director of Judicial Affairs/Academic Integrity Officer: The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management would like to remind all faculty and staff about student expectations, including during remote learning. All registered students are expected to follow all QC and CUNY rules and regulations, in particular the Code of Conduct<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…>, Academic Integrity Policy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…>, Sexual Misconduct Policy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…>, and CUNY's Policy on Acceptable Use of Computer Resources<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…>. Any student found to violate these policies will face disciplinary action. If a faculty member suspects that a student has violated the Academic Integrity Policy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…>, they can report the violation using the college's online reporting system<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…>. Complaints about student conduct that do not fall under the Academic Integrity Policy may also be reported by using the same method, or by contacting the Office of Public Safety at 718-997-5912, or the Dean of Students Office at DOS(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:DOS@qc.cuny.edu>. Once a complaint has been received, the student judicial officer will review, investigate, and if a violation has been determined to have been committed, adjudicate the matter. Reports about students exhibiting disturbing behavior or who seem to be in distress can be addressed to the Queens College Care and Concern Team at care(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:care@qc.cuny.edu>. We understand that there may be some challenges faced during virtual classes. To assist faculty, we have provided some recommendations to address issues of academic dishonesty and prevent disruptions in a virtual setting: 1. Faculty should consider posting all related policies on their syllabus and Blackboard, especially the Academic Integrity policy. 2. Faculty are encouraged to follow CUNY's guidelines related to the use of Zoom for their courses: CUNY Zoom Security Protocol<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…>. 3. Students should be made aware that certain websites, like Chegg.com, may not be used for class assignments unless authorized by the professor. Students who use Chegg.com or similar websites may be able to obtain an unfair advantage over other classmates. Gaining an unfair advantage is a policy violation. The use of artificial intelligence software like ChatGPT, Gemini, Co-Pilot, and others may also constitute a policy violation. 4. Under the Academic Integrity Policy, professors are required to "review with the student the facts and circumstances of the suspected violation" when they suspect a violation has occurred. Speaking to a student can assist in resolving a possible violation, and both professors and students may be able to come up with a resolution that addresses the infraction without the need for formal disciplinary action. 5. Faculty should continue to use plagiarism detection software such as SafeAssign and Turnitin. 6. The QC Learning Commons<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/hb4e4idab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-1TLokO…> can be a great help for students who need assistance with assignments. 7. As during in-person instruction, students are expected to use proper language, wear appropriate attire, and be mindful of backgrounds that may or may not be distracting to others when using virtual tools like Skype, Zoom, and others. In addition to these recommendations, the Office of Student Conduct can also come to a department's meetings, orientations, and other related events to discuss academic integrity, the policy, and ways to address dishonesty in the classroom. If interested, please email studentconduct(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:studentconduct@qc.cuny.edu> to schedule a time. If there are any questions or if additional assistance is needed, please email me at emanuel.avila(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:emanuel.avila@qc.cuny.edu>. Thank you!

Gslisadjuncts New course numbers for GSLIS classes
by James Lowry 26 Jun '25

26 Jun '25

Dear faculty and students, Please note that the new course numbers have taken effect for Fall 2025. Classes will now appear in CUNYfirst under the INFO course code. The GSLIS course catalog<https://sites.google.com/view/qcgslis/current-students/gslis-course-catalog> includes both the former LBSCI codes and the new INFO codes. We had used all of the available course numbers and with the recent rapid development of new classes, we needed new numbers. The INFO code reflects the development of our program towards an iSchool model<https://www.ischools.org/>, while the four digits in the course numbers allow for the expansion of the curriculum in future. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, James Dr. James Lowry (he/him) Professor Chair and Director, Information Studies, Queens College<https://sites.google.com/view/qcgslis> City University of New York<https://www.cuny.edu/> Ellen Libretto and Adam Conrad Endowed Chair in Information Studies, Affiliate Faculty, MA in Digital Humanities and MS in Data Analysis and Visualization, CUNY Graduate Center https://us02web.zoom.us/my/jlowrycuny

Gslisadjuncts Class sizes
by James Lowry 11 Jun '25

11 Jun '25

Colleagues, Following a meeting of the college leadership yesterday to address an impending fiscal crisis, the Dean has instructed all Chairs to raise the cap on graduate level classes from 20 to 25 students, effective from the Fall term. Due to classroom sizes, I have asked that in person classes be exempted from this increase. Classes with lower caps, such as 709 and 710, will stay as they are. This is obviously not good news, but all departments are being asked to contribute in this way to the longer term sustainability of the college. I’m available to discuss this if you have concerns or questions. Best, James
