A STUDY IN CONTRASTS

A year ago, thanks to the ejection of its President, Buell G. Gallagher, the City College of New York obtained the services as Acting President of a long time member of its own faculty, Professor Joseph J. Copeland. Yesterday when CCNY reopened under the general rules decided by the Board of Higher Education of the City of New York, vigorously implemented by Chancellor Albert Bowker of the City University, the following announcement was conveyed by Copeland to the academic Deans, the Department Chairmen, and the Registrar at this college. 

"All regularly scheduled classes will meet as usual. Chairmen will insure that teachers meet all scheduled classes. Each Chairman will submit in writing the names of teachers absent without official leave and the date(s) of absence. Sick leave documented by medical certification will not be reported. 
"Absence without official leave will result in the loss of salary for the period of absence.
"Final examinations will be conducted in the usual manner and n scheduled dates. The examinations will cover the area or areas of the course normally included. 
"Term grades will be determined in the normal manner, and grades of A,B.C,D,E,F will be employed as a basis for punitive grading, but work missed and not made up will be reflected in the final examination marks, and in the instructor's judgment of the student's knowledge f the subject
"Course grades deemed unfair by the student may be appealed to the appropriate Committee on Course and Standing, in the usual manner, 
"No student may be granted a passing grade or credit unless in the judgment of the instructor he has met the standards of the course . 
"Committees on Course and Standing will not have the authority to overrule the teacher's judgment in respect to failure of the course. "

Another campus of the CUNY system, Brooklyn College, has a new President, John W. Kneller, brought from Oberlin last October. Yesterday Chancellor Bowker peremptorily commanded President Kneller to serve an injunction on radical students to vacate administrative offices after a six-day occupation. The students have now vacated the seized buildings and communications systems, leaving them extensively vandalized. An example of the kind of program advocated by the Brooklyn College student strike committee is the following announcement broadcast yesterday over the College public address system:

"Professor Owen of the Classics Department is holding a regular class. Will a disruption collective please go to his class and see that it is terminated. "

Although President Kneller has asked the support of the Brooklyn College faculty for a policy according to which all students would receive a passing grade Chancellor Bowker and the Board of Higher Education have ordered that no passing grades b given automatically.
