Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of John R. Keane, Appellant. Louis L. Levine, as Industrial Commissioner, Respondent.

Opinion:
— Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed June 12, 1975, which affirmed the decision of a referee sustaining an initial determination of the Industrial Commissioner disqualifying claimant from receiving benefits effective February 4, 1975 because he voluntarily left his employment without good cause. The claimant, during the course of his employment, had been required to work without benefit of his own desk, using whatever desk was available, about which he complained to his employer. In addition, after receiving his college degree, he decided to do graduate work and attempted to have a work schedule that would not interfere with his college schedule. The employer was unable to grant his request as the result of which the claimant, being dissatisfied, resigned. The board found that credible evidence established that the claimant's employment had not changed substantially prior to his resignation, which was found to be without good cause. Decision affirmed, without costs. Herlihy, P. J., Sweeney, Koreman, Larkin and Reynolds, JJ., concur.
