“S.H.I.F.T., Brockport Together!”
March 28 - April 1, 2022
Our Theme
The 2022 Diversity Conference will be a moment where, as a community, we start to S.H.I.F.T (Strength, Hope/Healing, Intentional Inclusion, Family/Friends, Togetherness). Shifting is the movement from one place to another; to do that, we must be honest and reflective about the inequities and racial bias present at our institution to genuinely S.H.I.F.T. This conference will be a catalyst for leaning into our strengths to cultivate hope so that we can move towards a path of healing, allowing us to be intentionally inclusive towards our campus family and friends, so Brockport can be a community of togetherness. The work starts and ends with us, so let us S.H.I.F.T. together!
Accommodations
SUNY Brockport is fully committed to providing accessible events to all. If you need a disability-related accommodation, please contact us at (585) 395-2024 or diversityconference@brockport.edu. Requests should be made by March 21.

“Sharing Stories, Bridging Divides”
MARCH 29 - March 30, 2023
Our Theme
As individuals, our attachment to our beliefs and life experiences can greatly reduce opportunities to engage in open dialogue and connect with others in meaningful ways.

about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/about/statement-definitions/ | Definitions:
Diversity

Equity
SUNY Brockport defines equity as equal opportunity and access to resources necessary for full participation and growth. Achieving equity requires recognizing inequalities and intentionally supporting marginalized groups by removing social and structural barriers.
Inclusion
SUNY Brockport defines inclusion as the practice of creating an environment that facilitates the full engagement of all. An inclusive environment allows for authentic participation and a true sense of belonging that fosters dialogue and connections among individuals and communities.

about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/campus-climate-survey-results/ | The Brockport Presidential Campus Climate Committee (PCCC) has been working diligently to assess the atmosphere on campus among students, staff, and faculty.
In the Fall of 2022, the committee led the efforts to disseminate a campus-wide survey from the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS) to help assess the climate on both the SUNY Brockport main campus as well as Brockport Downtown. While the full report has been slow in coming, we have received some preliminary data analyzed by Institutional Research to share with the Brockport community. The information on this page is a portion of the aggregated data we’ve received so far. More information will be shared after HEDS releases their final report to the PCCC. We are excited to receive the full report so we can plan our next steps for the upcoming fall semester.
Thank you so much for your time and patience as we work to help do our part in Building a Better Brockport.

about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/interfaith/ | Calendar of Religious Holidays
Our calendar lists some traditional observances, and major days of religious significance. (It also has dates of cultural celebrations.) It was adapted from the Office of Diversity and Equity at SUNY Geneseo’s “Calendar of Selected Cultural Holidays.” Use these holiday dates to aid in developing class syllabus and planning for examinations and events during the academic year. If you are aware of other observances or major days of religious significance that should be listed, or if you see a misrepresentation on this list, please contact the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, (585) 395-2024 or OEDI@brockport.edu.
Although classes are in session many of these days, faculty are asked to use this information and their discretion when responding to student requests for time off for religious purposes. Students have certain rights to make up work missed due to observation of religious holidays. The following quote is from S 224-A of the New York State Education Law: “each student who is absent from school, because of [their] religious beliefs, must be given an equivalent opportunity to register for classes or make up any examination, study or work requirements which [they] may have missed because of such absence on any particular day or days.” The full text of this law is found in the affirmative action policy: Student Absence due to Religious Beliefs — Section 224-A of the New York State Education Law. Please take special note of those holidays that have been designated non-work days by the religions that celebrate them. Complaints or appeals related to denial of these rights by instructors should be addressed first with the chairperson of the department offering the course and, if necessary, the dean of the school.
The calendar is intended as a guide, since special and local conditions may cause variation from official practice. It is impossible here to note every observance, such as an individual saint’s day, which ordinarily would not require absence from work.
Culturally Sensitive Holiday Decorations All Year Long
We understand that having a festive work environment, especially during the holidays is important to many in our community. We must also be sensitive and respectful to individuals who choose not to participate in these festivities.
Brockport Auxiliary Service Corporation (BASC) Policy on Fasting Day Food Options
BASC Dining Services aims to recognize the major religious traditions of our customers as a means of broadening awareness and fostering an inclusive community. Students observing any holiday that requires dietary restrictions should contact Dining Service Director Cathy Legacy to review options available.
Joey Jackson Intercultural Center
The Intercultural Center fosters an inclusive and supportive environment that inspires students to become engaged members of the SUNY Brockport Community and beyond.

about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/lavender-ceremony/ | Join us for the third annual SUNY Brockport Lavender Graduation Ceremony recognizing our LGBTQIA+ graduates.
Saturday, May 6, 2023
1-2:30 pm
SUNY Brockport will be hosting its first in-person Lavender Graduation since 2019 as we recognize our LGBTQIA+ graduates and alumni for their many accomplishments and achievements while on campus. All are welcome to participate.
History of Lavender Graduation:
Lavender Graduation is an annual ceremony conducted on numerous campuses to honor lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and ally students and to acknowledge their achievements and contributions to the University. The Lavender Graduation Ceremony was created by Dr. Ronni Sanlo, a Jewish Lesbian, who was denied the opportunity to attend the graduations of her biological children because of her sexual orientation. It was through this experience that she came to understand the pain felt by her students. Encouraged by the Dean of Students at the University of Michigan, Dr. Sanlo designed the first Lavender Graduation Ceremony in 1995. The first Lavender Graduation began at the University of Michigan in 1995, with three graduates. By 2001, there were over 45 Lavender Graduation Ceremonies at Colleges and Universities nationwide. Graduating students, including undergraduates and graduates, are invited to take part in the celebration, which occurs each year the week prior to university-wide commencement events. Learn more by visiting the Human Rights Campaign. |

about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/name-gender-identity-form/ | What is the purpose of SUNY Brockport’s Chosen Name and Gender Identity Request?
SUNY Brockport recognizes that some students wish to use a first name other than a legal or official name of record to identify themselves in day-to-day use. The University acknowledges that the student’s first name can and should be used on the Eagle One ID cards and in other university systems (Banner and Blackboard). This process is limited to first names and not surnames or family names. For non-U.S. citizens, the official name of record is the passport name. Also, it is hoped that this opportunity will assist students with affirming their self-identification. The University extends this accommodation in order to help foster a more welcoming, supportive and respectful campus climate for all of its students.
Process
Students wishing to modify an existing first name, on their Eagle One ID card and other university systems (Banner and Blackboard) must use the online, Chosen Name and Gender Identity Request Form.
Upon completing the form, a 5-10 minute meeting can be scheduled either with the Chief Diversity Officer, OEDI@brockport.edu , or with another preferred campus mentor (e.g. professor, counselor, etc.). The meeting will provide follow-up to the online request and allow students to learn of additional resources and support services available at the institution. For students choosing to schedule a meeting, please contact us at oedi@brockport.edu or (585) 395-2024.
After confirmation of a valid request, students can go to the Conrad Welcome Center to pick up their new Eagle One ID card free of charge. This accommodation is available due to a partnership between the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (OEDI), Library Information & Technology Services (LITS), and the Registrar’s Office. The first name change will appear on the front of the Eagle One ID card.
Frequently Asked Questions
WHERE WILL MY UPDATED Chosen first NAME APPEAR?
Your chosen first name will appear on your Eagle One ID Card, Banner and Blackboard. Your legal name will still appear on official transcripts, medical records, paychecks, financial aid documents, and other documents which allow for legal name only.
CAN ANYONE UPDATE MY chosen FIRST NAME?
No. Only you as the student can update your preferred first name.
CAN I RESET MY chosen FIRST NAME TO WHATEVER I WANT?
Although students are generally free to determine the names they wish to be known by, inappropriate use of the name policy (including but not limited to avoiding a legal obligation or misrepresentation) may be cause for denying the request. In addition, the University reserves the right to remove a chosen first name if it is deemed inappropriate (e.g., is offensive or derogatory), or if used inappropriately.
HOW OFTEN CAN I CHANGE MY chosen FIRST NAME AT THE University?
Your chosen first name can be changed no more than once an academic year and twice during your tenure at Brockport. However, only one Eagle One ID card per student will be provided free of charge. If a student requests a second first name change they will have to pay a $25 fee for their new Eagle One ID card.
HOW DO I CORRECT OR CHANGE MY LEGAL/OFFICIAL NAME AT THE University?
Students who wish to change their official name of record must submit official documentation (e.g., court order, divorce decree) directly to the Office of the Registrar.
Brockport Diversity Statement
SUNY Brockport is committed to creating and maintaining an equitable environment that welcomes, values, respects and supports individuals and communities who affirm human dignity. The University provides opportunities for engagement, learning, growth, and transformation to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive institution. |
about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/restorative-practices/ | The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion has partnered with the Center for Dispute Settlement on a 3-year Restorative Practices Initiative. The goals of this initiative are as follows:
- to build a sense of community.
- to proactively respond to incidents of harm that may take place at Brockport, and
- to incorporate restorative practices into various processes (i.e., Bias Incident Reporting, Student Conduct, and Huan Resources).
The three-year Restorative Practices Initiative is broken into 3 phases:
- Phase 1: Identify and train Restorative Champions, raise awareness across the university, and develop an implementation plan.
- Phase 2: Continue to develop the implementation plan and raising awareness and provide community building circles across the university.
- Phase 3: Continue to provide community building circles, develop a restorative practices response system and sustainability plan

about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/statement-chief-diversity-officer/ | Brockport Community:
As some of you may have heard, one of our faculty members has invited Jalil Muntaqim, formerly known as Anthony Bottom, to campus on April 6 to hold a talk entitled, “History of Black Resistance, U.S. Political Prisoners & Genocide: A Conversation with Jalil Muntaqim.”
This event has received funding from a Promoting Excellence in Diversity (PED) Grant. PED Grants are administered by the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in consultation with a campus committee. Some have questioned why an event featuring a potentially polarizing individual received such funding.
Below is a description of the PED Grant from our website:
“The purpose of this grant is to support proposals from faculty, staff and students for scholarly and artistic events that provide intellectual activities that will engage our community in conversations about diversity issues, prepare our students for leadership in a diverse world, and increase respect and understanding for differences based on knowledge and shared experiences.”
Academic freedom is the backbone of higher education, especially at a public institution. One of the goals of the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is to support faculty in their scholarly endeavors in achieving our educational mission and to enhance learning opportunities. While some perspectives may be controversial and at odds with one’s values, my hope is members of the SUNY Brockport community will continue our work to engage in critical conversations around equity, diversity and inclusion.
A college campus is a perfect place to engage in such dialogue, whether it’s during Mr. Muntaqim’s visit and/or through other Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion programming throughout the year. Our 20th Annual Diversity Conference takes place March 28 – April 1 and we hope you’ll register to attend.
I hope you have a safe, relaxing, and rejuvenating spring break.
Sincerely,
Damita Davis
Chief Diversity Officer |
about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/statement-jalil-muntaqim-event/ | Brockport Community:
Over the last several days, we have received new information regarding a Promoting Excellence in Diversity Grant awarded to allow one of our faculty members to bring Jalil Muntaqim to campus.
As a result, the committee has rescinded the grant and no funding will be used to pay the speaker. We are not, however, cancelling the event. Academic freedom allows our faculty to invite guests of their choosing to campus to address our students.
Effective immediately, we will be pausing the PED grant program while a thorough review and revision of the grant application process can take place.

about | diversity | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/diversity/suny-edi-action-plan/ | In February 2021, SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras announced SUNY’s 25-point Action Plan to close racial equity gaps, and eliminate cultural and institutional racial discrimination across SUNY campuses. We have taken that plan and mapped it, where applicable, against the efforts SUNY Brockport currently is doing and then included next steps.
A. Close Student Academic Equity Gaps
Current Brockport Mapping Against Plan
We have a strong EOP and EOC.
Next Steps
We will continue to focus on persistence, retention and graduation rates for our EOP students, as per our new Persistence Roadmap. We need to invest in more technology support and training for EOP staff especially post-COVID. In addition, we would like the program to focus more on major and career exploration, transition, and advising so that our good first to second year retention is matched by persistence beyond this point in time. For our REOC, we are focusing on additional Online EOC offerings via SUNY for All.
Current Brockport Mapping Against Plan
Since 2015, SUNY Brockport’s Completion Program has reached out to students who stepped out prior to graduation and facilitated their return. In five years, 651 students who left without a degree, returned and graduated. In addition, the University generated close to $1.3 million dollars in tuition revenues and nearly $114,000 in back bills. In the spring of 2021, 52 former students are registered and working toward their degree.
The program’s success is related to the comprehensive approach used to support these returning students. They receive personal assistance in advising, mentoring, and financial aid referrals. In addition, many are able to receive financial support via a unique grant program: “Flying Start, Flying Finish”.
The Brockport Completion Program pre-dates SUNY’s program. It was funded by a PIF Grant and to date has graduated approximately 30% of the 2,170 SUNY completion students.
Post grant, we created a permanent position for the Completion Specialist.
Next Steps
We need to continue to support this endeavor with additional data collection regarding reasons student leave and barriers to their return, as well as initiatives to prevent students walking away, etc.
The REOC plans to implement a completion program, using Brockport protocols.
Current Brockport Mapping Against Plan
Brockport does not award currently credit for “life experience.” This decision was initially made several years back based on our limited ability to assess these experiences effectively. As a result, student requests are referred to Empire State College which has the resources and expertise to evaluate and determine credit Prior Learning Assessment (PLA). We do offer PLA for credit by exam, including AP and IB. Other exams are given for courses offered in foreign languages, nursing, and public health education. Credit earned in this way is recorded via Degree Works and treated as transfer credit earned from four-year colleges.
Credit is also awarded for military experiences and for non-credit courses in non-collegiate institutions.
Next Steps
The Deans, the Provost, and Admissions are reviewing our current practice to see if there are opportunities to expand. These include the following actions:
- Developing a more comprehensive web page for current and potential transfer students
- Submitting a Senate proposal to eliminate the 54 credit limit
- Adding the SUNY appeal of transfer credit form to transfer acceptance packages
- Exploring an MOU for portfolio assessment with Empire State College and reviewing financial aid options.
- Developing further portfolio assessment options locally
- Disseminating the information on credit by exam to chairs by the deans in hopes of increasing this option
- Reviewing credit by exam for LOTE with Modern Languages
In addition, we will explore re-imagining Delta College. Delta College students can complete in 99 credits but the program is typically only open to freshmen. One suggestion might be to reframe Delta into a completion program for returning adults.

Brockport’s Black Male Initiative (BMI) is the Talon Academy, implemented in 2020. We have also created the Joey Jackson Intercultural Center.
Next Steps
Our Persistence Roadmap addresses a sense of belonging on campus and offers KPIs and goals that focus on our under-represented students. The Student in Transition Committee is exploring additional support for Latinx Women.
Current Brockport Mapping Against Plan
Brockport has a wealth of student clubs and organizations specifically for students of color, including African Student Union, Association of Latinx American Students, BSG Cultural Council, Caribbean Student Association, Men of Color, Organization for Students of African Descent (OSAD), Women of Color Empowerment Club, as well as fraternities and sororities.

Next Steps
Maintain status quo
Current Brockport Mapping Against Plan
Since 2015, at the direction of the president, SUNY Brockport has increased the budget for the OEDI by 174%, not including the PIF grants that were won through a competitive process. We have added full time secretarial support, made a temporary position permanent, and allocated additional Brockport Auxiliary Service Corporation dollars to their budget (this was accomplished a re-allocation process that reduced funds in other divisions). In 2020, along with all other areas of campus with the exception of Academic Affairs, OEDI underwent a Zero Based Budget exercise. This exercise focused on what the core needs are for the office and the institution. Like all offices on campus, OEDI will need to look at budget savings as a result of the current state-wide budget crisis, but we are also looking to see what investments should be made once both the mandated state hiring freeze is lifted, and our university’s budget situation improves.
Next Steps
Continue to look for additional support for the OEDI. Working with new CDO on plans for future expansion of the office, as budgets allows. Work with the new CDO on how best to craft the job description for the current vacancy in the office. Develop plans for Faculty Fellowships to supplement staffing. Increase work-study opportunities in the office.

This has been the case since 2017 at Brockport and the System CDO received a copy of the new CDO’s credentials upon hire.

about | null | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/freedom-of-speech/ | Public universities must be bastions of free speech and freedom of expression.
Any individual is free to peacefully exercise their first amendment rights on our campus as long as they follow the appropriate process. The University must tolerate all forms of protected speech even when it does not align with our institutional values.
As we uphold this constitutional right, we aim to create a campus climate where our community feels comfortable expressing ideas and learning about other viewpoints.
Our number one priority will always remain the health, safety, and well-being of our campus community. The University has put in place strengthened practices governing the expression of free speech that protect all parties.
When You Encounter Speech You Disagree With
Do
- Ignore the speaker to deny the attention they seek
- Engage in thoughtful, constructive dialogue
- Voice your opinion while respecting the rights of others
- Exercise your own right to peacefully protest
Do Not
- Damage property
- Be physical or threatening
- Attempt to block or obstruct the speaker’s message
- Obstruct or disrupt university operations
Why Can’t Public Universities Block Hate Speech?
Lee Rowland of the American Civil Liberties Union explains how the First Amendment affects free speech on campus of public universities. |
about | null | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/freedom-of-speech/frequently-asked-questions/ | Frequently Asked Questions
Freedom of speech is the right of a person to articulate opinions and ideas without interference or retaliation from the government. The term “speech” constitutes expression that includes more than just words, including but not limited to, what a person wears, reads, performs, or protests.
In the United States, freedom of speech is strongly protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, as well as many state and federal laws. The First Amendment protects even speech that many would see as offensive, hateful, or harassing.
Yes. SUNY Brockport cannot regulate the content of speech unless it falls within one of the very narrow First Amendment exceptions. Those narrow exceptions include speech that explicitly expresses intent to cause immediate bodily harm; incitement of illegal activity (e.g. if a speaker on campus encourages their audience to engage in acts of vandalism), and harassment.
SUNY Brockport may also impose “time, place, and manner” limitations on student speech. For example, limiting disruptive behavior during classroom lectures or prohibiting shouting in residence halls in the middle of the night.
Generally, for speech to rise to the level of harassment it has to be:
- Targeted at a student or group of students
- Repeated and pervasive; and be threatening
- Interfering with an individual’s work or education
SUNY Brockport has no legal option to not allow controversial speakers on campus. Under the First Amendment, public universities — which includes SUNY Brockport — cannot disallow student groups and other recognized organizations from inviting speakers to campus based on the content of their speech or their opinions.
At the same time, SUNY Brockport recognizes that offensive speech can be painful or threatening to members of our community, and the fact that SUNY Brockport must allow this speech does not constitute acceptance or an endorsement of repugnant or offensive viewpoints.
It can be difficult to see and hear things that challenge your personal beliefs and offend the things you cherish. Academic freedom and freedom of speech mean that critics cannot silence that with which they disagree — however strongly they may disagree.
Individuals, alone or as part of a group, have the right to respond to a controversial speaker with protected speech of their own. This includes, but is not limited to, talking, circulating literature, displaying signs, and singing. However, they may not threaten a speaker or commit any violent act against a speaker. They also cannot participate in the creation of a situation in which the speaker cannot be heard.
Perhaps the best way to show disagreement with a controversial speakers message is to simply ignore them, denying the attention they are often seeking.
SUNY Brockport is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and safe environment for our community. If you are on campus and feel that your safety is at immediate risk, please contact University Police at (585) 395-2222. If you are off-campus, call 911. |

Standard 14 – Assessment of Student Learning
- The University should continue its implementation of the general education assessment approach in all areas with emphasis on the use of assessment results to enhance teaching and learning. The University should create an oversight structure for general education assessment to enhance the integration of assessment information within the respective institutional learning outcomes. The University should continue its implementation of the program learning outcomes assessment process to use results to enhance teaching and learning.

about | middlestates | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/middlestates/anthony-jenkins/ | Bio
Anthony L. Jenkins, Ph.D., became the eighth President of Coppin State University (CSU) on May 26, 2020. A respected higher education leader, he is an advocate committed to creating opportunities for all students, especially those from underrepresented communities.
He is a champion of public policy issues that foster meaningful dialogue within the landscape of higher education. President Jenkins has delivered keynote addresses to audiences across the United States and internationally. His speeches, research, presentations, and publications have been focused on economic development, crisis management, enrollment and retention, diversity, leadership, African-American male initiatives, social justice, first-generation college students, funding higher education, mentoring, and high-risk college campus behavior such as alcohol consumption and sexual misconduct.
President Jenkins is leading the Coppin State University family with an unwavering commitment to student-centeredness, excellence, transparency, and accountability. Through collaboration with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Baltimore community, President Jenkins is positioning Coppin State University to become a national leader in urban higher education that transforms the lives of students, from all backgrounds. Coppin State University is recognized, nationally, for its healthcare, business, psychology, criminal justice, teacher education, social work, and STEM academic programs.
President Jenkins has expanded the academic portfolio by developing and implementing new, high-demand academic program offerings, such as: the certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the Master of Science in Health Information Management, the Bachelor of Science in Data Science, the Master of Science in Applied Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, and the Master of Science in Polymer and Materials Sciences. Greater emphasis has been placed on adult learners and, therefore, three fully online degree programs are under development with the Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems recently receiving full approval for online offering. The Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education – Human Development, Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management, and the Doctorate of Nursing Practice will be submitted for approval to offer through online modality.
As President of Coppin State University, he serves on the Board of Directors of the Hippodrome Foundation; the Baltimore chapter of President Obama’s national initiative, My Brother’s Keeper; Healthcare Access Maryland; the Maryland Zoological Society; the Boy Scouts of America – Baltimore Area Council; the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities; and the national advisory council for Ninety To Zero. He is also a member the President’s Council of the Greater Baltimore Committee.
President Jenkins has been honored by several civic organizations and universities for his leadership on social change and community engagement. He has been invited to discuss important higher education issues on various media outlets, appearing on Maryland Public Television, Fox News, CBS News, The Jim Strawn Talk Show, HBCU’ish, Hoppy Kercheval – WV MetroNews, IHeart Radio, TEDCO Talks, WOLB, HBCU Digest, C-SPAN, The Box Podcast, NPR and the Roland Martin Show. President Jenkins has been inducted into several prestigious academic honor, business, and leadership societies, including Alpha Kappa Psi; Phi Kappa Phi; Sigma Alpha Pi; Alpha Sigma Lambda; Omicron Delta Kappa; Alpha Phi Sigma; Pi NU; and Order of Omega. The Baltimore Business Journal included him in their 2021 cohort of “Faces to Watch.”
Born in Washington, D.C., and raised between the nation’s capital and North Carolina, Jenkins is a United States Army veteran who began his path to the presidency as a first-generation college graduate of Fayetteville State University. He earned a master’s degree from North Carolina Central University and a doctorate from Virginia Tech. President Jenkins is the first graduate in the history of Virginia Tech’s Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) doctoral program to become a college or university president.
President Jenkins is married to his college sweetheart, Toinette Jenkins, who proudly serves as the First Lady of Coppin State University. They have two daughters. |
about | middlestates | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/middlestates/compliance-reports/ | On June 1, 2017 the University submitted the Periodic Review Report (PRR) and Compliance Report to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Main Page Content
The PRR, which was due five years after the 2012 Self-Study, is an essential phase of the accreditation cycle and is meant to serve as a retrospective, current, and prospective analysis of the University. The Compliance Report (Verification of Compliance with Accreditation-Relevant Federal Regulations) ensures that the University complies with accreditation-relevant federal regulations developed by the US Department of Education in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. In addition, Middle States is required to review the University’s continued compliance with Title IV program responsibilities. These two reports were the culmination of more than a year of hard work and collaborative efforts by many faculty and staff representing every academic and administrative area across the campus.
Some of the highlights from the PRR are:
- Dr. Heidi Macpherson became the University’s seventh President on July 16, 2015.
- Under President Macpherson’s guidance and direction, the Strategic Planning Committee worked diligently on Building a Better Brockport, the 2017-2022 Strategic Plan, which is scheduled to be adopted/implemented effective July 2017. The University’s Operational Plan for 2017-2022 has also been completed and will be implemented effective July 2017.
- The Presidential Task Force on Budget and Planning (Fall 2015) identified $3 million in budget savings and presented a plan for implementation from 2016-2017 forward with additional ongoing cost reductions to build the reserve balance by a minimum of $500,000 per year over the next 10 years.
- Under Building a Better Brockport, the role of the Institutional Effectiveness and Accountability Committee (IEAC) and the Budget and Resource Committee (BRC) will be combined in a new Committee on Joint Planning and Budget (JPB).
- The University’s Strategic Plan for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion was submitted to SUNY in November 2016 and approved with commendation in February 2017. This plan delineates the goals and process for achieving those goals in a comprehensive and complete manner.
- The Academic Success Center is scheduled to open for the 2018 fall semester. The University received $600,000 from the SUNY Investment and Performance Fund which will support the creation of the Center and further student retention and completion.
- The University received $600,000 from the SUNY Investment and Performance Fund for Rochester Integrated SUNY Excels (RISE) Network providing for collaboration with Rochester Educational Opportunity Center and Monroe Community College to improve readiness and access to four-year degrees at the University for underprepared and at-risk individuals in the city of Rochester.
The entire campus community is to be commended for their dedication to this process and the University’s promise to engage our students each day in cultivating their capacity for intellectual, physical, and creative accomplishment.
Any questions regarding the PRR or Compliance Reports should be sent to Ms. Frances Dearing.

about | middlestates | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/middlestates/faqs/ | Frequently Asked Questions
What is accreditation?
“Accreditation is a process of peer review that the educational community has adopted for its self-regulation since early in the 20th century. It is a voluntary process intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of higher education, making it worthy of public confidence. Institutions choose to apply for accredited status, and once accredited, they agree to abide by the standards of their accrediting organization and to regulate themselves by taking responsibility for their own improvement.” (2010, Middle States Commission of Higher Education)
Why is accreditation important?
Accreditation means that standards of quality and excellence have been met. The core principles for universities accredited by the Middle States Commission of Higher Education (MSCHE) include the diversity of institutions, focus on the student learning experience, emphasis on institutional assessment and assessment of student learning, and continuous institutional improvement and innovation.
Accreditation is required for campuses to be eligible to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs.
The Self-Study can also provide important recommendations for improvement and innovation, both self-identified by the institution, and recommended by the visiting peer-review Team.
What is the purpose of reaccreditation?
With the success of students being our highest priority, SUNY Brockport is committed to continually work to improve its educational programs, resources, facilities, and services. Reaccreditation includes an extensive evaluation of how well the University’s programs, resources, facilities and services fulfill its mission to foster student success.
The reaccreditation process takes place every 10 years (following the 2017-2018 academic year, the cycle is every eight years), and involves two stages of evaluation: a campus-wide Self Study, and an on-site evaluation by a team of experts from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). The reaccreditation process is an opportunity to assess the extent to which we are accomplishing the shared vision of our institution and serves as a point of departure for charting the future direction of the University and building towards a better Brockport.
What is SUNY Brockport’s Mission?
SUNY Brockport’s Strategic Plan outlines the institutions mission, vision, values, promise and goals.
Who is reaccrediting SUNY Brockport?
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education(MSCHE) is a voluntary membership association that “defines, maintains, and promotes educational excellence across institutions with diverse missions, student populations, and resources.” As a participating institution, The University engages in a self-study process every 10 years (following the 2017-2018 academic year, the cycle is every eight years).
What happens during the reaccreditation Virtual Visit?
Representatives from MSCHE will hold a series of virtual informational meetings with faculty, staff and students to get their feedback about Brockport’s performance in a variety of areas. Brockport’s two extension sites (Brockport Downtown and REOC) will also participate.
The MCHE Team evaluates the analysis in the Self-Study Report and draws on insights gained from Virtual Visit interviews. Since the Self-Study Report and On-Site Evaluation Visit result from careful analysis that has incorporated feedback from multiple stakeholders, the Report has the potential to influence institutional decision making for several years.
What are the Qualities of a Good Self-Study?
According to MSCHE, “The Commission’s accreditation process ensures institutional accountability, self-appraisal, improvement, and innovation through peer review and the rigorous application of standards within the context of institutional mission.”
The Self-Study should be an honest appraisal of the institution, that is evidence-driven, and consistently demonstrates the use of assessment (throughout each standard or chapter). It provides an opportunity to engage multiple stakeholders in an extensive analysis of the University’s strengths and areas for improvement and innovation.
The Evidence Inventory, a cataloged and referenced inventory of documents, processes, and procedures, provides opportunity for the institution to develop sustainable resources that the University should continuously update to document ongoing compliance.
How should I prepare?
All members of the SUNY Brockport community, and especially those attending meetings with the visiting team are strongly encouraged to read the final 2022 Self-Study Report posted on the Brockport Middle States website.
In addition, the reaccreditation leadership team has prepared a series of videos, each 5-7 minutes long, to provide summary overviews of the Self-Study Report as a whole and each of the seven main chapters. Watch (or just listen) to the videos to become more familiar with the Self-Study. |

about | middlestates | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/middlestates/monitoring-report-updates/ | 2015 Monitoring Report Update
November 30, 2015
On Monday, November 23, President Macpherson received a letter from the Middle States Commission accepting our Monitoring report, acknowledging the on-campus visit of a Middle States team earlier this fall, and most importantly, saying that they were requesting our regularly scheduled Periodic Review Report on June 1, 2017, rather than a follow up report next fall (2016). In the 2017 report the Commission wants to see further documentation of our organized and sustained assessment efforts.
What this positive decision means is that the hard work the campus did over this past year and a half, the documentation that went into the report and the enthusiastic and articulate reception given to the team members very successfully conveyed the strengths of our assessment efforts and systems across all aspects of the campus.
Thank you to the entire campus community for your willingness to continue this important work of reflecting systematically on all we do, both so we can improve and so we can meet the standards of our accreditation agency.
Congratulations to the entire campus!
Any questions regarding the Follow-Up Visit Team Report or the Statement of Accreditation Status should be sent to either Dr. Katy Heyning or Ms. Frances Dearing.

2015 Monitoring Report Update
September 8, 2015
On September 1, 2015 the University submitted the required Monitoring Report to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The Report was the culmination of more than a year of hard work and collaborative efforts by many faculty and staff representing almost every academic and administrative area across the campus. Some of the highlights from the Report are:
- Organizational changes to better sustain the Institutional Assessment System, including creating and staffing the Office of Accountability and Assessment; created and filled new position: Director of Assessment.
- Assessment of high impact practices by committees/task forces resulted in increased funding to support such practices;
- Information from several task force reports contributed to a plan for developing an Academic Success Center;
- Introduced a comprehensive quality and improvement assessment process: Periodic Administrative Unit Assessment for administrative and educational support units;
- Restructured General Education Administration with four distinct tasks: ensuring access, fidelity, assessment, and innovation;
- Created the General Education Assessment Committee to develop new assessment plan, tools, and sources;
- Increased resource allocations to support general education assessment;
- Continued resource allocations for programmatic and general education “closing the loop” activities 2015-2016;
- Continued progress on Strategic Plan goals and using the assessment results to inform budget and resource allocation decisions.
The entire University community is to be commended for their dedication to this process and the University’s promise to continue to make student learning our highest priority.
These actions and plans will continue to strengthen and build a stronger foundation for assessment at all levels at the University.

about | middlestates | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/middlestates/self-study/ | SUNY Brockport’s Middle States Self-Study Process
SUNY Brockport is preparing for the Middle States Accreditation virtual visit on April 3-6, 2022. In preparation for the visit, the final Self-Study was submitted to the Middle States visiting team in January 2022.
MIDDLE STATES SELF-STUDY FINAL DRAFT POSTED
For the last two years, SUNY Brockport has conducted its Middle States Commission of Higher Education (MSCHE) Self-Study through the efforts of faculty, staff, and students. Following the Team Chair virtual visit in October 2021, the Self-Study was revised to reflect the insights shared by our MSCHE Team Chair, Dr. Anthony Jenkins. The final 2022 Self-Study Report is posted on the Brockport Middle States website for the campus to view.
VIDEO OVERVIEWS OF THE FINAL SELF-STUDY REPORT
The reaccreditation leadership team has produced a series of 5-7 minute videos to provide summary overviews of 2022 Self-Study Report as a whole and each of the seven main chapters.
APRIL 2022 VIRTUAL VISIT
The virtual team site visit is scheduled for April 3-6, 2022. Ongoing updates will be provided to the campus community as preparations continue. The MSCHE Self-Study Leadership Team wishes to acknowledge and thank the campus for its active involvement in the Self-Study process.
Through this comprehensive self-assessment and crucial reflection, the University has identified areas of strength as well as recommendations for continuous and sustainable improvement. The Self-Study process will conclude in June 2022, with a decision from MSCHE regarding our reaccreditation.
If you have questions regarding the Middle States Self-Study process, please contact the Self-Study co-chairs, Monica Brasted and/or Amy Guptill, or SUNY Brockport’s Accreditation Liaison Officer, Frances Dearing.

13th Edition
STANDARD I—MISSION AND GOALS
The institution’s mission defines its purpose within the context of higher education, the students it serves, and what it intends to accomplish. The institution’s stated goals are clearly linked to its mission and specify how the institution fulfills its mission.
STANDARD II—ETHICS AND INTEGRITY
Ethics and integrity are central, indispensable, and defining hallmarks of effective higher education institutions. In all activities, whether internal or external, an institution must be faithful to its mission, honor it contracts and commitments, adhere to its policies, and represent itself truthfully.
STANDARD III—DESIGN AND DELIVERY OF THE STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE
An institution provides students with learning experiences that are characterized by rigor and coherence at all program, certificate, and degree levels, regardless of instructional modality. All learning experiences, regardless of modality, program pace/schedule, level, and setting are consistent with higher education expectations.
STANDARD IV—SUPPORT OF THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Across all educational experiences, settings, levels, and instructional modalities, the institution recruits and admits students whose interests, abilities, experiences, and goals are congruent with its mission and educational offerings. The institution commits to student retention, persistence, completion, and success through a coherent and effective support system sustained by qualified professionals, which enhances the quality of the learning environment, contributes to the educational experience, and fosters student success.
STANDARD V—EDUCATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT
Assessment of student learning and achievement demonstrates that the institution’s students have accomplished educational goals consistent with their program of study, degree level, the institution’s mission, and appropriate expectations for institutions of higher education.
STANDARD VI—PLANNING, RESOURCES, AND INSTITUTIONAL IMPROVEMENT
The institution’s planning processes, resources, and structures are aligned with each other and are sufficient to fulfill its mission and goals, to continuously assess and improve its programs and services, and to respond effectively to opportunities and challenges.
STANDARD VII—GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP, AND ADMINISTRATION
The Institution is governed and administered in a manner that allows it to realize its stated mission and goals in a way that effectively benefits the institution, its students, and the other constituencies it serves. Even when supported by or affiliated with governmental, corporate, religious, educational system, or other unaccredited organizations, the institution has education as its primary purpose, and it operates as an academic institution with appropriate autonomy. |

about | president | https://www2.brockport.edu/about/president/climate-act/ | This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), entered into between SUNY Brockport’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (OEDI) and the Division of Enrollment Management & Student Affa.irs (EMSA), seeks to outline ways in which the two may more effectively and efficiently collaborate to achieve shared goals in achieving “Building a Better Brockport.”
The Pledge
As an institution of higher education, we applaud the monumental progress already made to promote clean energy and climate action as we seek a comprehensive, ambitious agreement at the upcoming United Nations Climate Negotiations in Paris. Although we are optimistic that world leaders will reach an agreement to secure a transition to a low-carbon future, we recognize the urgent need to act now to avoid irreversible costs to our global community’s economic prosperity and public health. Today our school pledges to accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy while enhancing sustainable and resilient practices across our campuses.
We put forth our pledges as follows
SUNY Brockport, State University of New York pledges to:
Show a path forward for living in harmony with our planet. That’s why we’ve invested millions of dollars in energy efficiency projects during the last 10 years and all of the new construction projects on campus, from our Special Events Recreation Center to our Liberal Arts Building to renovations of our residence halls, are, at minimum, built to LEED Silver standards. We run on the power of the sun, the earth and rain. We use photovoltaics to power portions of our campus, we gather rainwater for greywater recycling in newly renovated dormitories, and use geothermal energy to heat student townhomes.
Our commitment to a culture of sustainability has earned us national recognition. The Princeton Review has ranked us in their “Guide to Green Colleges” for three years running. We earned a Silver rating in the AASHE STARS rating survey and we’ve been named one of the most energy efficient campuses in the SUNY system on a per-squarefoot basis. Green is more than just our school color.
Building on our existing renewable energy research and progress, we will extend our commitment to educating not only our students but the public on the benefits of renewables and low-carbon energy through several programs and initiatives:
- Reducing our green footprint through policies that save paper in computer labs, reduce waste through trayless dining at our dining halls, compost, and recycle our cooking oil, among our other green deeds.
- Give our students the opportunity to put green principles into practice in our Green House, Living Learning Community.
- Cutting-edge research into the health of the Great Lakes.
- Bike-sharing programs. |

Such handbook should include an administrative organization chart, a statement of administrative responsibilities, faculty bylaws, local policies and such other information concerning the university as he or she may deem advisable and shall be made available to all members of the academic staff of the university.
This University Handbook is published in response to the board of trustees requirement. It is intended to serve as a reference for students, faculty and staff, particularly those relatively new to the University. Wherever possible, the source and date of each policy are given.
The University Handbook is an official publication of the President’s Office; its provisions apply to all University personnel. All subsequent additions, deletions or other changes, and new policies of University-wide application are to be considered amendments to the University Handbook and must be submitted to the president for approval before distribution and inclusion in future revisions.
No statement of policy or regulation herein should be interpreted in any way that would make it inconsistent with the policies of the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York or violate of any New York State or federal law. |
