NYS Licensing Rules

Dr. Gina · Jun 24, 2003

Hi all!

Please forgive me for being such a novice.

I have been reading all about CA state licensing standards, and I am curious what NYS are, and how they view non-accredited universities (eg: licensing, ect..). Are the laws as strict as those in Oregon?

NYS Board of Regents - ruling with an iron hand since 1784.

BoR

The National Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction (National PONSI) is conducted by the Board of Regents of The University of the State of New York, the most comprehensive educational organization in the nation. The University encompasses and has responsibility for all educational concerns in the State, including public and private institutions of higher learning, elementary and secondary schools, museums, libraries, historical societies, and other agencies whose primary function is education. The Regents and the Commissioner of Education determine the State's educational policies and establish standards for maintaining quality schools. Among other things, they charter educational institutions and organizations, approve and supervise academic programs leading to college degrees, and regulate the preliminary educational requirements for admission to the practice of most professions in the State.

PONSI

We have a distinguished history dating back to 1784 with the creation of the Board of Regents to oversee Kings College (now Columbia University). Almost a century ago, Governor Theodore Roosevelt proposed the creation of a department with the responsibility for all education in the State. He said education should be "unified for the sake of greater efficiency, economy, and harmony."

Today, the Board of Regents and its State Education Department govern education from prekindergarten to graduate school. We are constitutionally responsible for setting educational policy, standards, and rules – and are legally required to ensure that the entities we oversee carry them out. The Board and Department also govern 38 licensed professions, provide vocational and educational services to people with disabilities, guide local government records programs, oversee public broadcasting, and operate the State Archives, Library, and Museum.

This mission and constitutional authority give the Board of Regents and the Department a powerful asset with which to raise the level of learning throughout New York.

I believe that NY has always been an inhospitable barren wasteland for degree mill residence. I don't believe that they have any laws against bogus degree use though.

Adam Smith University of Iowa, South Dakota, Hawaii, a few other places, and now, um, Liberia, has always been run from New York.

And so is Mellen University, the pride of Turks and Caicos.

So presumably we have a state that, like California, does not regulate or fret about schools run from within their borders, as long as there is a license or registration from somewhere else.

Thank you for the correction!

I like to believe that laws are generally meant to be just. This idea in some jurisdictions that it is okay for someone in the jurisdiction to defraud someone as long as you don't defraud any of the residents of that jurisdiction is cause for pause. Now I'm not saying that NY does this but California does (at least in the case of K-W) and the United Kingdom does it as well. It is a very interesting policy that seems difficult to justify from an ethical point of view?
