Provost's Monthy Report
My Dear Colleagues,

Much of the world has changed in the last two months. At our institution, we have maintained a steady resolve to address the disruptions and the challenges created by the pandemic. We have met regularly in the division of Academic Affairs and Student Success and across our schools and departments, as well as the library, to conduct our work remotely, urgently balance competing demands, and respond to the needs of our college and our community as best as we can. We have focused on ensuring that our students, faculty, and staff are safe. We have focused on ensuring that teaching and learning can continue for the rest of the semester through distance learning modality under this crisis. Across the college, we acknowledge that instruction will also continue online for Summer 2020, and indeed will continue largely online (with some in-person teaching) in Fall 2020 if conditions do not change. In these decisions, we will be informed by the guidance provided by CUNY on academic continuity and related matters. We have begun planning and preparing to ensure that both summer and fall 2020 are successful.

I am immensely grateful to our dedicated College family of faculty, staff, and students, for the excellent way we have come together (and continue to come together) to answer this urgent call to duty. You have my highest personal regards. Thank you so much for all you do! And please continue to shelter in place, remain safe, and keep well.

In this combined Provost’s Report for February and March 2020, I will provide highlights of progress on a select number of key initiatives and activities within the division of Academic Affairs and Student Success in furtherance of our institutional mission and strategic priorities. For more updates and announcements from the Office of the Provost, along with past monthly reports, and emails to the campus community, please visit the Provost's Corner. For updates on COVID-19, please visit Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates and Resources.


2020-2025 STRATEGIC PLAN
  • Work on the development of the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan continued, with a meeting of the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, chaired by Provost Nwosu and co-chaired by Dr. Anne Rice, held on February 10, 2020. Following this meeting, a working group of the Steering Committee was charged by the provost to review and consolidate the 47-page draft strategic plan goals, objectives, metrics, and strategies that emerged as a result of the work of the 7 task forces into a single succinct document. The working group is co-chaired by Vice Presidents Dawn Ewing Morgan and Ron Bergmann, and includes Chair Dene Hurley, Interim Dean Pam Mills, Interim Dean Gaoyin Qian, Vice President Rene Rotolo, Vice President Reine Sarmiento, and Interim Dean Elin Waring. During the period under review, the Provost, along with the co-chairs, continued to refine the synthesized draft document. Several meetings to be held remotely are being planned for the remainder of the semester to review the synthesized draft plan: meeting of the Steering Committee, meeting of all members of the various taskforces, and a meeting with the President’s Cabinet. Following these meetings, a revised draft plan will be shared with the campus community for additional input and feedback. Completion of work on the development of the strategic plan is expected in fall 2020. Co-chairs of the task forces are Paula Loscocco and Jane MacKillop (Values, Mission, Vision); Pam Mills and Ronald Banks (Faculty and Staff Success); Donald Sutherland and Zoila Morell (Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment); Dawn Ewing Morgan and C. Alicia Georges (Diversity and Campus Climate); Elin Waring and Carl Mazza (Program and Curriculum); Dene Hurley and Reine Sarmiento, (Enrollment and Student Success); Ron Bergmann and Gaoyin Qian (Anchor Institution); and Rene Rotolo and Haiping Cheng (Resource and Facility Optimization).
ACCREDITATION AND INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS-RELATED MATTERS
  • We successfully submitted Lehman’s Supplemental Information Report (SIR) to MSCHE on February 27, 2020. The 126-page Report describes the progress the College has made regarding assessment and institutional effectiveness following the June 28, 2019 action letter from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). In that letter, the MSCHE acknowledged receipt of the college’s self-study report, noted the visit of its representatives to the college, reaffirmed the college’s accreditation, scheduled the next evaluation visit for 2027-2028, and requested the submission of the SIR by March 1, 2020. The Commission’s decision regarding the SIR will be communicated to the College sometime this summer.

  • On March 9, we received MSCHE approval for our substantive change proposals for the two doctorates in Nursing Practice to be offered at the College beginning fall 2020. MSCHE has added the credential “Doctor’s Degree-Professional Practice” to the list of degrees we can grant at Lehman. This also means that any future professional practice doctorates we want to develop and offer in the future will not require MSCHE approval. This is terrific news!

  • As requested by the U.S. Department of Education and MSCHE, we developed and submitted on March 24 Lehman’s Plan for Academic Continuity in response to changes in the delivery of instruction and support services to our students necessitated by the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

  • We submitted our 2020 Inventory of Registered Programs (IRP) Report to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) Office of College and University Evaluation (OCUE) on March 13, 2020.

  • On March 19, Lehman College was selected by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) to participate in its 2020 Institute on General Education and Assessment scheduled to take place from June 2-5. Lehman’s Team to the Institute will comprise of: Drs. Victor Brown, David Hyman (English), LaRose Parris (Africana Studies), Amanda Sisselman (Social Work), and Devrim Yavuz (Sociology).

  • The Office of the Provost completed space reconfigurations in Academic Affairs on the third floor of Shuster Hall to maximize space and create offices for the following: Assessment and Educational Effectiveness (suite 318); Academic Programs (rooms 382 and 384); Academic Personnel (suite 302); Institutional Review Board (room 310); Strategic Initiatives and Special Projects (room 386); and Academic Budget and Resource Planning (room 380). The Associate Provost for Academic Programs and Educational Effectiveness is housed in the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Student Success (suite 379).
STUDENT SUCCESS
  • Analysis by CUNY reported at the end of March 2020 shows very promising results for our ACE (Accelerate, Complete, and Engage) program: Overall, both ACE FTF and transfer students are doing better than matched comparison group students on most measures. Here are some of the most important findings related to retention, attempted and earned credits, and on track graduation as reported by CUNY Office of Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP):

    • One-Semester Retention: Both ACE groups had higher retention rates than matched comparison group students-95.7% vs 89.6% for FTF, and 90.2% vs 85.2% for transfers.

    • Attempted and Earned Credits: For FTF, both the ACE and matched comparison group students attempted the same number of credits in fall 2019 (15.8 cr.) as well as earned about the same number of credits (13.8 for ACE vs 13.6 for comparison group). In spring 2020, ACE students attempted an average of 1.1. more credits than the comparison group (15.5 cr. vs 14.4 cr.). ACE transfer students attempted and earned more credits than matched comparison group students. In fall 2019, ACE students attempted an average of 2 more credits (15 cr. Vs 13 cr.), and earned an average of 1.1 more credits (12 cr. Vs 10.9 cr.) than comparison group students. In spring 2020, ACE transfer students attempted an average of 2.2 more credits (15 cr. Vs 12.8 cr.).

    • On-Track Graduation: Both ACE FTF and transfers have higher ‘on-track to graduate’ rates than comparison group students. 80% of ACE FTF are on track to graduate compared to 74.8% of comparison group students, for a 5.2 percentage point difference. For transfers, the difference is much larger and statistically significant. 69.7% of ACE transfers are on-track compared to 50% of comparison group students, for a large 19.7 percentage point difference.

    • The ACE program is a comprehensive program designed to help students complete their academic journey to the bachelor’s degree within two years for transfers and four years for freshmen. The program provides a range of financial, academic, and personal support to students, including intensive academic advisement and career counseling, as well as tuition, textbook, and transportation assistance. A total of 236 students drawn from 17 academic programs are currently enrolled in the program, which is supported by a grant from the Robinhood Foundation.
ONLINE EDUCATION AND SUPPORT
CUNY/EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENT
  • I am pleased to announce that Lehman College was selected in March to participate in a major national initiative on faculty development titled “Scaling Instructional Excellence for Student Success.” The initiative is designed to strengthen student achievement and close equity gaps, and is supported by the National Association of System Heads (NASH) and Association of College and University Educators (ACUE), through a faculty development grant awarded to CUNY. Lehman participated in the development of the CUNY proposal for the grant. Four other senior colleges were also selected to participate in the initiative: Brooklyn, City Tech, Hunter, and York. Sixty faculty members to selected from each of the five CUNY colleges will participate in the initiative beginning in Fall 2020.

  • We had more good news from CUNY Central. Earlier in February, Lehman was listed as the top senior college for attaining Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) Textbook Provision Compliance for Spring 2020. We achieved 97.7% submissions, well above the 95% required. I want to thank all faculty who worked very closely with Dr. Carole Weisz in the Office of Academic Programs and Educational Effectiveness for this accomplishment.

  • At CUNY’s request, we submitted Lehman’s 2020 Report on Low Enrollment/Low Graduation Programs to CUNY’s Office of Academic Affairs on February 18. The following threshold established by CUNY was used in evaluating our programs:

    • Any program with enrollment of fewer than 10 in any single year of the last five years
    • Bachelor and Associate degree programs with fewer than 20 graduates per year
    • Master’s programs with fewer than 10 graduates per year
    • Ph.D. programs with fewer than 5 graduates per year

    • At the request of the Provost, the office of Academic Programs and Educational Effectiveness is initiating conversations with school deans to discuss the report and recommend action steps to address programs that have both low enrollment and low graduation. For example, programs with low enrollment that do not provide necessary courses for general education, licensure, or accreditation, will need to be reviewed for fiscal sustainability and growth opportunities.

  • We continued work on developing the framework for The CUNY Leadership Institute (TCLI) for Urban-Serving Institutions. The initiative, funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, is designed to build a pipeline of academic leaders from faculty in the Arts and Humanities for our nation’s urban-serving institutions. The six-month leadership Academy, expected to begin in mid-fall 2020, will utilize a combination of experiential and case-study approaches focusing on key areas in higher education leadership and administration, with the 25 CUNY colleges and the Central office serving as learning sites. EVC Cruz is the PI on the grant, while Provost Nwosu is the Program Director, and University Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs Annemarie Nicols-Grinenko is the Co-Program Director. Earlier in February, I held separate phone meetings with Dr. Nicols-Grinenko as well as Ms. Millicent Bender, Senior Program Manager, College Excellence Program, at the Aspen Institute, to discuss ideas and planning for the Institute.

  • Participated in the CUNY Joint Student Affairs Council and Chief Academic Officers’ Council held on February 13. The agenda focused mainly on transfers and retention.
