Proposed Handling

Procedural History

 

Standard procedure:  Ed.

Background Information

 

Each of the three institutions: Globe Institute of Technology, Long Island Business Institute and Taylor Business Institute were sold, are in a transition period because of the sale, and have requested that the Regents confer degrees, diplomas and certificates on students who have satisfactorily completed registered programs of the institutions. 

 

Recommendation

 

          The Regents should confer the degrees because the Office of College and University Evaluation has determined that the candidates listed in the attachment have satisfied the requirements for the awards indicated.
