Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of Sheila Hakner, Appellant. City University of New York, Respondent. Lillian Roberts, as Commissioner of Labor, Respondent.

Opinion:
— Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed September 15, 1982, which ruled that claimant was ineligible to receive benefits because she was reasonably assured of continued employment in an educational institution and charged her with a recoverable overpayment of benefits. Claimant appeals from an adverse determination of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board. Claimant, like the claimant in Matter of Jama 0City Univ. of N. Y. — Roberts) (96 AD2d 1007), taught English to foreign students at Queens College of the City University of New York and her application for benefits arose from a factual setting almost identical to that in Jama. As we determined in Jama, the employer's method of scheduling and staffing its classes did not afford claimant reasonable assurance within the meaning of subdivision 10 of section 590 of the Labor Law that the teaching position that she held would be continued to the next semester. Accordingly, claimant was entitled to benefits. Decision reversed, with costs, and matter remitted to the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board for further proceedings not inconsistent herewith. Mahoney, P. J., Kane, Main and Casey, JJ., concur.
