EXC LE SIOR

Dear Senator Skelos:

It is my pleasure to submit the annual report o the Senate Standing Committee on HigherEducation or the 2012 legislative session. Although New York States institutions o highereducation ace many challenges, they continue to maintain high quality academic standards andcontinue to remain the states most valuable economic development engines.

Aer years o deep budget cuts, the 2012 enacted budget maintained unding or SUNY and

CUNY at last years levels. Tis was achieved because o the historic SUNY 2020 legislationpassed during the 2011 legislative session. Te committee ought hard during those negotiationsto include a maintenance o eort provision to ensure that while tuition increases authorizedby that law were implemented, state unding would not decrease. Not only were unding levelsmaintained in 2012, but unds were increased or SUNY and CUNY community college base aidand or SUNY hospitals. Additionally, a new round o SUNY 2020 grants were authorized to beawarded to non-university center colleges.

In addition to providing much needed increases in unding to the community colleges, thecommittee recognized the need to look at the community college unding structure as a whole.

Te 2012 enacted budget included provisions that required SUNY and CUNY to conduct a jointstudy examining the laws, regulations and policies regarding community college charge back ees.

Another important policy issue that the committee addressed was the need or remediation at thecollegiate level. It is estimated that SUNY alone spends as much as $70 million a year on remedialcourses. Te committee recognized the need to gure out why this is the case and what can bedone to correct the problem. Tereore, the 2012 enacted budget required SUNY and CUNY toconduct a joint study regarding the issue o student remediation including how each sector iscurrently dealing with the issue and recommendations or how to proceed in the uture.

In addition to the committees work with the various sectors o higher education, the committee

spent a great deal o time reviewing and analyzing legislation that aects our states 50 licensedproessions. During this past session, the Governor signed into law legislation that wouldrequire continuing education or occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistantsand additional legislation to clariy supervision requirements within the occupational therapyproession. Tese important pieces o legislation will improve the health care system by ensuringthat occupational therapists are receiving the most up-to-date knowledge and treatmenttechniques and adequate levels o supervision while in training which will improve services totheir patients.

Another important initiative passed in 2012, authorized pharmacists to administer the Zostervaccine, which would immunize adult patients against the painul shingles disease.Tis legislation will allow more New Yorkers access to the vaccination which will prevent theunnecessary suering associated with shingles.

Lastly, aside rom developing, negotiating and analyzing legislation, the committee continuedour investigation into incidents o cheating on college entrance exams. In the summer and allo 2011, a number o college and high school students were arrested ollowing the discovery oan SA cheating scandal. High school students were ound to have paid large sums o moneyto college students who aked IDs and took the exams or them. Te committee convened ahearing in the all o 2011 on the issue to examine how to improve test security and to determinei changes in the law are necessary to deter such actions and prevent cheating in the uture.Troughout the 2012 legislative session, the issue was ongoing. Te committee held a secondhearing and devoted two committee meetings to a bipartisan discussion on the topic. wo pieceso legislation were created as a result o those discussions and the testing industry reacted byincreasing security and implementing certain provisions ound in the legislation.

I want to thank the committee members or their continued support and commitmentthroughout the 2012 legislative session. I look orward to continuing to work with my colleagueson the committee and in the entire Senate as we strive to make New York State higher educationthe best in the world.

Sincerely yours,

Kenneth P. LaValle

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ROUNDABLE DISCUSSIONS

Public Hearings

Alternative Project Delivery

In January 2012, the Higher Education Committee held a hearing to discuss the benets oalternative project delivery methods. Te Chair o the committee sponsored a bill that wouldallow state agencies to utilize alternative methods such as design-build and management-at-riskor construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair or improvement o state buildings. Te hearingocused on how these alternate methods yield cost savings and increase project eciency.

SA est Security

In 2012, the Higher Education Committee continued its investigation into incidents o cheatingon college entrance exams. In the summer and all o 2011, a number o college and high schoolstudents were arrested ollowing the discovery o an SA cheating scandal. High school studentswere ound to have paid large sums o money to college students who aked IDs and took theexams or them. In the Fall o 2011, the committee held its rst hearing on the issue to examinethe current test security procedures, discuss what could be done to improve those procedures andto determine i changes in the education law were necessary to help prevent cheating in the uture.

In February 2012, the committee held its second hearing on the issue. Trough the testimonypresented, the committee was able to create legislation that provided deterrents rom cheatingthrough changes to the penal law and education law and that proscribed enhanced security

procedures to be implemented at test sites. Such procedures included training or test site personneland increased identication requirements or test takers. Unortunately, legislation on this issueonly passed in the Senate, however, the testing industry did react by increasing their securityprocedures and implementing certain provisions contained in the legislation.

Roundtable Discussions

Te committee devoted two committee meetings to an open, bipartisan dialogue on the SAcheating scandal. wo pieces o legislation were created and amended through such discussions.Both contained provisions to increase security at test sites and improve identication procedures

o test takers. One included criminal penalties or impersonating another to raudulently take theirSA and one excluded those provisions. Te committee was divided on that particular issue andthe Chair wanted to airly represent the opinion o all committee members.

20122013 ENACED BUDGE

Aer years o devastating budget cuts to our public higher education systems, unding levelsor SUNY and CUNY were maintained in the 2012 enacted budget. Tis achievement was only

possible because o the passage o historic SUNY 2020 legislation which passed during the 2011legislative session. Te committee ought or a vitally important maintenance o eort provision tobe included in that legislation to ensure that as the authorized tuition increases were implemented,state support would not be diminished. SUNY and CUNY were able to increase revenue throughmodest tuition increases and cost savings measures. Such revenue was then used to improve studentservices and increase the numbers o ull time aculty throughout each sector.

Not only was unding maintained or New Yorks public our year institutions, unding was alsoincreased or SUNY and CUNY community colleges. SUNY and CUNY community collegebase aid was increased by $22.1 million and $9.1 million respectively. Tese increases refect anadditional $150 per ull time equivalent student or each sector. Funding or SUNY hospitals wasalso increased by $27.8 million and CUNY LEADs received a much needed $1 million to continueto provide disability services.

In addition to unding increases, unding restorations were also achieved. SUNY and CUNY childcare centers received restorations o $653,000 and $544,000 respectively. Te higher educationopportunity programs were restored in the ollowing amounts: HEOP $3,485,000; LibertyPartnerships $1,700,000; SEP $1,027,000; CSEP $778,000 and Stony Brook Center o Excellenceor Advanced Energy Research received $500,000.

Furthermore, there were initiatives included in the enacted budget that did not directly aect

unding this year but could potentially change how certain things are unded in the uture. Suchthings include, community college charge back ees and SUNY and CUNY remediation courses,issues surrounding the airness o the community college charge back ee structure have beenraised in counties throughout New York State. Tereore, the enacted budget directed SUNY andCUNY to commission a joint study on the community college charge back ee structure. On theissue o remediation, it came to light that SUNY alone spends an average o $70 million per year onremedial courses; thereore the enacted budget contained provisions directing SUNY and CUNYto also conduct a joint study on the need or remediation at the collegiate level.

Finally, the SUNY 2020 program was expanded and three new grants were authorized to be awardedto any non-university center college.

COLLEGE AFFORDABILIY PACKAGE

During the 2012 legislative session, the committee worked to create a comprehensive highereducation aordability package. Te legislation consisted o our main components which include:

1) the Stay in New York ax Credit;2) the Student Loan Linked Deposit Program;3) the Student Lending ransparency Program; and4) the Prepaid uition Program.

Te Stay In New York ax Credit

Tis part o the package would amend section 606 o the ax Law to establish the Stay in New Yorkax Credit. In order to retain the graduates rom New York colleges and universities, such creditwould allow college graduates a credit equal to their college expenses over our years. Tis creditwould be capped at $3,000 per year, and would apply to those graduates who live and work in NewYork, subsequent to graduation, and complete community service while they are attending college.Furthermore, this part o the bill would amend section 606 o the ax Law to improve New Yorksuition ax Credit. In order to increase college aordability, the current tuition tax credit would beamended to: Doubletheamountofqualiedcollegeexpensesthatcanbeclaimedfrom$10,000to

$20,000 over ve years;

Doublethemaximumamountofthecreditallowedfrom$400to$800overveyears;and IndexthequaliedexpensesandcredittotherateofinationoftheHigherEducation

Price Index.Te Student Loan Linked Deposit ProgramTis part o the package would add a new Article 15-A to the State Finance Law to establish theStudent Loan Linked Deposit Program. Modeled rom the highly successul linked deposit programor economic development, this new student loan program would provide low-cost student loansby means o authorizing the Comptroller to place state deposits with

participating lenders at a decreased interest rate, in order to oer students reduced rate studentloans, at up to 3 points below market rates.Tis part would designate $100 million or this program, with repaid loan amounts revolving backinto available deposits and loans. Loans would be available or students o in-state colleges, orqualied educational expenses (tuition, ees, books, supplies, room and board), in the maximumamount o $7,500 per academic year, and a maximum total amount o $30,000.


12/38

Te Student Lending ransparency Program

Tis part o the legislation would add a new Article 6 to the Financial Services Law, and a newArticle 14-8 to the Education Law, to establish a Student Lending ransparency Program. Pursuantto this program, the Department o Financial Services would be required to compile data on studentloans or the purpose o comparing loan rates and repayment plans. Te Superintendent would berequired to take such data and create a list o private lenders who provide the best loan rates andrepayment options on student loans, and place such list on an easily accessible website with linksto the Higher Education Services Corporations website as well as the websites o other colleges anduniversities. Te list and the website maintained by the department would be updated monthly.Pursuant to this part, colleges and universities would urther be required to provide prospectiveand newly enrolled students with clearly outlined and easy to understand inormation pertainingto the total cost o attendance at their institution. Such inormation would include thetotal amount o debt, and the payments thereon, the student would incur.Te Prepaid uition ProgramTis part o the package would add new sections 355-d o the Education Law, and 99-u o the StateFinance Law, and amend section 612 o the ax Law, to establish a New York State Prepaid uitionSavings Program. Such program would allow participants to prepay college tuition at SUNY orCUNY institutions by paying one third o the annual total cost o their college education or aperiod o twelve years. Payments would be made through a und administered by the Comptroller,

in consultation with the Chancellor o the State University o New York and the Chancellor o theCity University o New York.

Participants in the program could chose to have the money paid into the und applied to any highereducation institution once the child or which the participant is paying, reaches the age o collegeattendance.

CAREER SCHOOLS

Non-degree granting proprietary colleges are or-prot private colleges. Tey are operated by theirowners or investors, rather than a not-or-prot institution, religious organization, or government.

Te non-degree granting or-prot sector has recently been the subject o some disturbing headlines,including charges o predatory recruiting practices and tuition scams that have prompted newregulations and provided uel or critics.

Prior to the 2012 legislative session, the law pertaining to non-degree proprietary schools had notbeen amended since 1990. Over the past 22 years, the number o schools has greatly increasedand their nature has changed. Only one-tenth o licensed schools currently receive ederal itleIV unds or students in strictly business or trade programs. Schools today oer hybrid programssuch as medical oce assisting, where coding and recordkeeping are combined with clinical servicesuch as phlebotomy. Most schools have ceased to rely on itle IV or state AP dollars and now areunding through private sources and private lenders.Te Higher Education Committee worked diligently with all the stakeholders to negotiateamendments to the law that refect the current needs o this area o higher education. We providedthe Bureau o Proprietary School Supervision o the State Education Department the fexibility itneeds to adequately supervise proprietary schools, protect students and taxpayers, and preserveand strengthen this important educational and economic industry.Currently, there are more than 500 licensed, registered, or certied schools. In addition, approximately200 schools are pending licensure and there are also a large number o schools operating withouta license (although some may be operating under a legal exemption, the vast majority o these

unlicensed schools are operating illegally).Trough this important legislation, the State Education Departments ability to regulate the industryhas been strengthened. Tey will now have the tools they need to weed out the bad actors whilesupporting the schools that provide a quality education to some o this states most vulnerable adultlearners.

Consistent and air regulatory enorcement will even the playing eld or all non-degree grantingschools, which will increase competition among such schools and will also increase the quality oeach schools educational programs.

HE PROFESSIONS

itle VIII o the Education Law governs the licensure provisions or all o the 50 licensed proessionsin New York State. Te practice and discipline o each proession is set orth through guidelines and

criteria which delineate the requirements necessary to obtain and maintain a proessional license.Currently, there are over 600,000 proessionals practicing under itle VIII. Te competency oeach is o utmost importance in order to protect the saety, health and well-being o New York Statecitizens and consumers. Tereore, the Higher Education Committee is dedicated to providingconsistent oversight and governance o each individual proession to ensure that the public remainsunharmed.

As proessionals advance their education and keep themselves up-to-date on the latest inormationor breakthroughs in their respective practices, New York State will continue to build trusted, secureand competent proessional communities.

Occupational Terapy

During this past session, the Governor signed into law legislation that would require continuingeducation or occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants and additional legislationto clariy supervision requirements within the occupational therapy proession. Tese importantinitiatives will improve the health care system by ensuring that occupational therapists are receivingthe most current inormation and treatment techniques and adequate levels o supervision while intraining which will improve services to their patients.

Immunization Authorization or Pharmacists

Legislation was enacted to extend the authority or pharmacists to administer infuenza andpneumococcal vaccines. Tis authority was originally granted in 2008 and has resulted in more NewYorkers receiving vaccinations. Additionally, the legislation authorizes pharmacists to administerthe Zoster vaccine, which would immunize adult patients against the painul shingles disease. Tisvaccine appears on the CDCs list o recommended vaccines or all adults. It is unique in that

the vaccine must remain rozen until a hal hour beore administration. Tis has resulted in ewdoctors oces providing the vaccination. Trough the passage o this law, an increased numbero New York patients will have access to this vaccine which will prevent the unnecessary sueringassociated with shingles.

Social Work, Psychology and Mental Health Practitioners

Chapters 420 and 676 o the Laws o 2002 established licensure or the ollowing proessions:licensed master social work, licensed clinical social work, licensed mental health counseling,

licensed marriage and amily therapy, licensed creative arts therapy, licensed psychoanalysis, andlicensed psychology. Prior to the enactment o these laws, many unlicensed individuals providedsuch services at many state and local entities. In act, or decades prior to the enactment oChapters 420 and 676, not-or-prot corporations, education corporations, rms and businesscorporations that are not proessional business entities had employed individuals to provide socialwork, psychotherapy and mental health services.

In order to avoid a disruption o services, the licensure laws contained a temporary six year exemptionor certain entities such as OMRDD, OMH, OASAS, OCFS and local government providers. Tisallowed or the continuation o services while these entities moved toward compliance with the law.Te original exemption expired on January 1, 2010. wo years ago, when it became clear that manyoutstanding issues regarding compliance and licensure still existed, the Governor proposed a ouryear extension o the exemption but the Legislature decided on only extending the exemption untilJune 2010. Te Legislatures motivation or decreasing the time o the extension was to orce thestake holders to deal with the other outstanding issues and orce exempted entities to show progresstoward compliance with the law. However, as the expiration date approached, very little progresshad been made. Tereore in the 2010 executive budget, the Governor once again proposed anextension.

Te Legislature agreed to a bill that provided a three year extension but included requirements andtime lines or agencies to ollow in order to make signicant progress toward compliance with the

law. Tat extension is set to expire on July 1, 2013. Te New York State Education Departmentwas tasked with draing a comprehensive report on the issue, complete with input rom the stateholders. Te report was provided in June, 2012. Since that time, the Chair o the Higher EducationCommittee has held a series o roundtable discussion to allow not-or-prot entities and New YorkState agencies covered under the law to respond to the report. Tey were given the opportunityto inorm the Legislature on their progress with transitioning non-licensed individuals out opositions that require a licensed practitioner, and with obtaining ull compliance with the 2002licensure laws.

Unortunately, all o the agencies and not-or-prot entities that have been involved in the roundtableprocess have reported continuing issues and problems with compliance. Lack o a qualied licensed

work orce and the cost o replacing unlicensed individuals with higher salaried licensees have beennamed as two prevalent problems with the expiration o the exemption. In act, the agencies haveestimated a cost o $425 million to come into ull compliance with the law.

In order to avoid that insurmountable scal issue and a disruption in services, the committee willcontinue to work with all o the stake holders to negotiate legislation to lessen the impact o theexpiration and to ensure that only qualied health care proessionals are providing much neededsocial work, mental health and psychology services.
