CERGE-EI

 

          In September 2000, the Regents granted the Center for Economics Research and Graduate Education – Economics Institute (CERGE-EI), Prague, Czech Republic, a provisional charter.  It authorizes CERGE-EI to confer the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.  By the charter’s terms and until it is made absolute, the Regents confer the degrees.  CERGE-EI is supported by Charles University, Prague, and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.  It offers registered M.A. and Ph.D. programs in economics.

GAMLA COLLEGE

 

          Gamla College, a proprietary institution, was granted a provisional charter by the Board of Regents on December 20, 1996 authorizing the College to offer the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Judaic Studies.  On June 22, 2004, the Regents affirmed their December 12, 2003 determination to deny the extension of Gamla College’s institutional accreditation, thereby making the College ineligible for Title IV funds. Because the accreditation and State approval functions of the Regents have been separated at the request of the United States Department of Education, the action taken by the Board in June did not serve to rescind the registration of the College’s programs nor did it revoke their provisional charter as a college. An institution with a provisional charter has all the corporate powers and duties of an institution with an absolute charter, except that in the case of institutions offering courses leading to academic degrees, such degrees are conferred by the Board of Regents until the charter has been made absolute. Consequently, the College has the authority to continue to offer classes, and, by the terms of the provisional charter, all academic awards are to be conferred on graduates by the Regents.
