'Free Colleges
Cause N.Y. Fight
NEW YORK (ACP)—A two
month-old battle between the Ne*w
York City Board of Higher Edu
cation and four City University
administrators over the financing
of 11 tuition-free colleges in the
system is not over.
The controversy, in which two
administrators resigned and two
others announced their intention
to retire, was touched off by the
issuance by City University Chan
cellor Albert H. Bowker of a pro
posal that the city maintain free
colleges for city residents by put
ting up $400 annually for each
undergraduate in the senior col
leges.
The Board criticized the edu
cators on the Administrative
Council, headed by Bowker, for
issuing the controversial plan
“without prior notice or consider
ation by our Board.” Bow'ker
withdrew the plan Nov. 15.
This criticism led to the resig
nations, announced Nov. 20. of
Bowker and Harry L. Levy, City
University dean of studies, and
requests to retire from Harry D
Gideonese, Brooklyn College pres
ident and John J. Meng, Hunter
College president
At a Board meeting the admin
istrators were asked to reconsider
their decisions but to date no
intentions of withdrawing the
resignations and requests have
been announced by any of the
four. The Board announced the
next day it would hold a public
hearing to consider the whole
matter.
The Joint Legislative Commit
tee on Higher Education an
nounced it would conduct a “full
inquiry” into the administrators’
actions. At the meeting, Gideon
ese released a statement which
termed the “theoretical” tuition

plan a “sham issue” in the dis
pute.
“The real issue lies in our con
cern about the insufficient finan
cial provisions for adequate edu
cational opportunities for the
young people of this city,” the
statement said.
The Board had earlier declared
that it had "a right to expect
undivided fealty on the part of
all of its officers of administra
tion to the policies and bylaws
of the Board, irrespective of any
other position they may hold.”
Gideonese replied in his resig
nation that "fealty is a medieval
concept and it describes the posi
tion of a medieval lord in his
relation to his feudal serf. Mem
bers of the Board of Higher Edu
cation are not medieval lords—
and I am not inclined to become
| a serf.”
Charles H. Tuttle, Board mem
ber for 52 years, also criticized a
proposal by Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller that the state establish
five four-year colleges in the city
to be operated on a tuition fee of
$400 per student. He said, “This
would mean a division of higher .
education in this city into two
competitive institutions, one from
Albany on a fee basis and one
run from this city on a free basis,!
with each dividing the strength
available for one.”
