Whelher you're a lan or nol, lhere's
no escaping lhe lacl lhal baseball is an
ingrained parl ol American lile, lrom
lhe everyday language we use lo lhe
caps we wear. Thal's no less lrue al
John Jay, where lhe baseball program
is a lamiliar lxlure bolh on- and oll-
campus.
Under head coach Dan Palumbo,
baseball al John Jay is more lhan jusl
a game. 8aseball is parl lamily and
parl sludy group, parl communily
service organizalion and parl campus
boosler club and, lo be sure, parl
championship-winning leam. Hovering over all
aspecls ol lhe program are lhese walchwords.
"allenlion lo delail", "values, loyally and
commilmenl", and "success on
and oll lhe leld."
"My slandards are very high,"
Palumbo said ol lhe young men
he coaches. "l recruil characler,
class and work elhic more lhan l
recruil lalenl."
The John Jay baseball players
have been widely lauded lor
lheir achievemenls "on and oll
lhe leld," wilh Cily Council
proclamalions, presidenlial
receplions, leslimonial luncheons
and more. Allhough Palumbo
is, nalurally, a signilcanl laclor in lhe players'
lives, he quickly delecls any credil lor lhe
program onlo his players. "Lverylhing lhe
proclamalions, lhe honors, lhe luncheons
comes lrom lhem," he added. "l give lhem a
nudge in lhe righl direclion and lel lhem shine.
These guys are proud ol working as hard as lhey
can as players, as sludenls, as cilizens."
The players' hard work can be seen in lhe
parks, playgrounds and ball lelds lhey have
helped lo mainlain or improve, and in lhe numer-
ous communily evenls lhey sponsor and orga-
nize, such as holiday parlies lor underprivileged
children. ll is also evidenl in lhe near-conslanl
lundraising ellorls lhal are required lo supporl a
compelilive college baseball program.
"ll cosls a ridiculous amounl ol money" lo pay
lor such lhings as lhe leam's season-opening lrip
lo llorida againsl nalionally-ranked compelilion
and lhe unilorms and equipmenl lhal are
nol covered by budgel allocalions, Palumbo
observed. The leam publishes an adverlising-
supporled media guide and hosls lhe annual Lou
DeMarlino Memorial Dinner in January, among
olher high-prolle lundraising inilialives. The
players lhemselves lake lhe lead in making such
lhings happen.
"We knock on doors, we go lo all lhe
businesses in lhe neighborhood bolh near lhe
College and near lheir homes and ask lhem
lo help," Palumbo conlinued. "l ask lhe guys lo
be very crealive, lo lalk lo people who saw lhem
grow up, people who are proud ol lhem going
lo college and whal lhey've achieved. You lake
much more ownership ol your program il you
work lo make il happen."
Palumbo noled lhal many ol his players
"don'l come lrom lwo-parenl households.
They're nol used lo lhe kind ol recognilion
lhey gel here." They've earned every bil ol lhe
acknowledgemenl lhey gel lrom lhe John Jay
communily and oulsiders, he insisls.
"l walch lhem come in here jusl aboul
clueless hals on sideways, unsure aboul how
lo handle lhemselves around olhers," Palumbo
remarked. "When lhey leave here, lhey're ready
lo compele lor lop jobs. l'm very proud ol lhem
and lhe way lhey carry lhemselves."
Palumbo is jusl one ol many coaches who
dedicale lime, energy and ellorl lo John Jay
sludenls lhrough alhlelics. The olher head
coaches are. Lenore Donovan (women's volley-
ball), Sleve lagan (women's baskelball), Charles

"The sludenls, lacully and alumni were a real
presence al lhe meeling, parlicipaling in mulliple
lorums," said Prolessor Margarel M. Wallace,
one ol lhe lacully presenlers. She was joined
by her deparlmenl colleagues Peler De loresl,
Cloria Proni, Llise Champeil, Diana lriedland,
Thomas A. Kubic and Nicholas D.K. Pelraco.
The delegalion also included Peler Diaczuk, lhe

Slaging a successlul lhealrical produclion is
no easy lask. lmagine, lhen, lhe compounded
challenge ol mounling one wilhin lhe conlnes
ol a correclional lacilily.
Prolessor Lorraine Moller ol lhe Deparlmenl ol
Speech, Thealre and Media Sludies doesn'l have
lo imagine. She knows lrslhand lhe dillcully ol
bringing live lhealer lo a prison, having recenlly
launched a lhealer program al lhe 8ayview
Correclional lacilily in downlown Manhallan, a
medium-securily prison lor women.
The program's inaugural produclion,
|e|amoroho:e: by Mary Zimmerman, was a
lwin ol lhe play lhal was slaged al John Jay
lasl spring, wilh one signilcanl dillerence. Al
8ayview, lhe play was perlormed by and lor
lhe lemale inmales. Mosl ol lhis diverse group
ol women, ranging in age lrom 23 lo 50, are
serving oul lhe lnal years ol lheir senlences lor
such crimes as assaull, murder, arson, robbery,
drug ollenses or parole violalions. There are
several lilers among lhe 8ayview populalion.
The 8ayview Thealre produclion ol
|e|amoroho:e: was direcled and produced
by Moller. To help on lhis projecl, she recruiled
lhe services ol lwo ol her lacully colleagues
Prolessors Creg Donaldson and James Peed
ol lhe speech and lhealre deparlmenl and
lhree sludenls. Mara Cilberl and Amarylis Pivera
are bolh Dean's Lisl lorensic psychology majors,
Darnell Hicks gradualed wilh lhe class ol 2007.
Ol lhe incarceraled women, Moller said, "l
lound all ol lhem, wilh one or lwo exceplions,
commilled lo lhe mission ol lhe program. ln
general, rehearsals were characlerized by a spiril
ol enlhusiasm and cooperalion." Wilh more
lhan 60 roles in |e|amoroho:e:, some aclors
were called upon lo play more lhan one parl.
The securily demands ol lhe prison required lhal
props, sels and coslumes be labeled, ilemized
and monilored lor clearance inlo and oul ol lhe
lacilily.
"All in all, il was a very hair-raising
experience," said Moller, "bul wonderlully
educalional lor all involved." |e|amoroho:e:,
she said, lurned oul lo be "an impressive end-
producl."
The 8ayview projecl also earned lhe
recognilion ol lhe larger lhealrical communily
by recenlly winning an award lrom lhe American
College Thealre leslival lor ils conlribulion lo
ln some quarlers ol law enlorcemenl and
criminal juslice, "prolling" lends lo be a dirly
word, conjuring up images ol racial largeling and
uneven enlorcemenl. 8ul lo John Jay prolessors
C. Cabrielle Sallali and Louis Schlesinger, lhe
lerm has a richer and more legilimale meaning.
To lhem, lhe proper expression is "ollender
prolling," and lhey are concerned wilh how
psychological lools and lechniques can be used
lo aid criminal invesligalions, parlicularly in cases
ol serious serial crime.
A conlerence held al lhe College on
November 9 look a hard look al "Ollender
Prolling. Psychological Conlribulions lo Crime
Scene Analysis." The evenl was co-hosled by
lhe College's Ollce lor lhe Advancemenl ol
Pesearch and lhe Deparlmenl ol Psychology,
and sponsored by lhe John A. Peisenbach
loundalion.
Simply slaled, Sallali said, prolling is a
process ol ".linking whal happens al a crime
scene lo who lhe killer is." She explained lhal
lhere are essenlially lwo lypes ol ollender
prolles. experience-led, as lormulaled by police
invesligalors, and science-led, as propounded by
psychologisls and olher behavioral scienlisls. The
goal is "moving lhe lwo sides logelher."
Sallali opened lhe daylong conlerence wilh
a look al "The Psychology ol Ollender Prolling
and Linking Serious Serial Crime." According lo
Sallali, "One key concern is qualily conlrol. How
good is lhis inlormalion? ll's nol enough lo say
you're looking lor someone under 30 and lhal
il's 87 percenl probable. Whal backs lhal up?"
Al some crime scenes, she noled, lorensic
evidence may be non-exislenl as a resull ol lhe
ollender using a condom, wearing gloves or
cleaning up lhe scene. ln such cases, she believes
lhal "psychological prolling is key."
"We are nol only lrying lo lnd oul how many
crimes an individual may have commilled, bul
how consislenl he was in his melhods," Sallali
observed. "How do we idenlily lhis consislency?
As we build up a dalabase, evenlually we will be
able lo back up asserlions wilh numbers."
Prolessor Schlesinger ollered an assessmenl
ol "The Proller as Lxperl Wilness," a session
sublilled "Caulion. 8eware ol 8.S. (8ad
Science)." Schlesinger, who has lesliled as
an experl wilness in numerous criminal lrials,
warned againsl lhe inlroduclion ol "unique,
idiosyncralic ideas" al such lrials. "A view musl
be accepled by lhe leld," he emphasized.
John Jay and ils lorensic psychology lacully do
nol conducl research in isolalion or lhe abslracl,
Schlesinger noled. "We wanl desperalely
lo apply il lo praclice. And jusl because il's
published means nolhing."
Schlesinger and Sallali were lollowed by Dr.
Mary Lllen O'Toole, a supervisory special agenl
and criminal proller wilh lhe l8l, who provided
a law enlorcemenl view ol ollender prolling.
Then, Dr. Judilh Kornberg, lhe College's Dean ol
Conlinuing and Prolessional Sludies, ollered an
overview ol law enlorcemenl lraining al John Jay.

American Universily in Washinglon, DC, earned
her PhD wilh dislinclion lrom
Harvard Universily, and is a
specialisl in Alrican American
hislory, urban hislory, im-
migralion and elhnicily, and
lhe hislory ol crime. She won
lhe Sealy lellowship on lhe
slrenglh ol a research pro-
posal and book manuscripl
lilled "8lacks, llalians and
lhe Polilics ol New York Cily
Crime, !900-!945."
As parl ol her lellowship,
she gave a leclure al lhe
College on Oclober 24 lilled
"'8arbaric Anceslors and Ani-
mal Propensilies'. 8lacks, llal-
ians and lhe Polilics ol Crime
in Larly 20lh Cenlury New
York." This evenl was spon-
sored by John Jay's Library, lhe
Ollce lor lhe Advancemenl ol Pesearch and lhe
Cily Universily's Colham Cenler.
The Sealy lellowship is a nalional compelilion
open lo candidales lrom any discipline inleresled
in using lhe resources ol lhe John Jay library,
which houses lhe world's loremosl colleclion ol
hislorical and conlemporary
criminal juslice malerials.
The seleclion commillee lhal
included Chiel Librarian Larry
Sullivan, Prolessors Kwando
Kinshasa and Karen Terry,
and Dislinguished Prolessors
8lanche Wiesen Cook and
James Lynch chose Sims.
"We lound her lopic

Sullivan. "She has proven an
oulslanding choice as lhe

A symposium moderaled by Courl TV
journalisl Ashleigh 8anleld, "The Changing Del-
nilion ol Dale Pape," broughl logelher John Jay
sludenls and a panel ol experls on Ocl. !5 lor a
lhoughl-provoking, ollen emolional discussion.
Co-sponsored wilh Co:mooo|||an magazine,
lhe slanding room only evenl was prompled by
"A New Kind ol Dale Pape," an arlicle aboul
"gray rape" wrillen by Wa:h|nq|on |o:| reporler
Laura Sessions Slepp lhal appeared in lhe maga-
zine's Seplember issue.
"lrom lime lo lime, oulside inslilulions ap-
proach us lo engage in discussions on imporlanl,
lough lopics," noled John Jay Presidenl Jeremy
Travis. "l'm honored lhal Co:mooo|||an asked us
lo pul on lhis lorum."
The Co:mooo|||an arlicle delned gray rape
as "sex lhal lalls somewhere belween consenl
and denial and is even more conlusing lhan dale
rape because ollen bolh parlies are unsure ol
who wanled whal." Slepp observed lhal a lypi-
cal silualion would involve bolh parlies gelling
drunk, having sex, and lhe woman subsequenlly
being unable lo remember il she said no or
said il lorcelully enough.
Neil lrvin, nalional direclor ol Men Can Slop
Pape, insisled lhal lhe phenomenon was nolh-
ing new. "Pape is slill rape," lrvin declared, "and
il does us a disservice when young men and
women are conlused aboul lhis."
laclors lhal some idenliled as conlribuling lo
lhe "gray rape" conundrum including drink-
ing behavior and lhe emergence ol a "hookup
cullure" were dismissed by anli-violence acliv-
isl Joe Samalin and olhers as red herrings. "ll
lessens men's abilily lo undersland lhe word no.
We slill need lo hold a lol more men accounlable
lor lheir aclions," slressed Samalin.
A specialisl in inlimale-parlner violence, Pro-
lessor Chilra Paghavan ol John Jay's psychology
deparlmenl look exceplion lo lhe Co:mooo|||an
arlicle's asserlion lhal women have been empow-
ered lo pursue lheir sexualily. "Whal's happened
is lhal women are nol legislaled anymore,"
noled Paghavan. "There's a huge dillerence lor il
lo be legal lor women lo pursue sex and lor il lo
be socially acceplable lor women lo pursue sex."
According lo Paghavan, "sludies have shown
lhal women's sexual inleraclions do nol change
signilcanlly il lhey have been drinking. 8ringing
alcohol inlo lhe discussion is characlerislic ol
lhe lendency lo blame women in sexual assaull
cases. We blame alcohol, or lhe hookup cullure,
ralher lhan lhe perpelralor."
"Women under lhe inluence ol alcohol don'l
communicale any dillerenlly lrom lhose who
are sober," asserled Kalie Cenlile, Direclor ol
lhe John Jay Women's Cenler. "Pape is lhe leasl
lalsely reporled crime, and lhe hardesl lo con-
vicl." She ciled a Massachusells sludy lhal lound
"men use alcohol all lhe lime lo ply lheir dales lo
gel lhem lo be submissive enough lo gel raped."
Linda lairslein, lormer proseculor in charge
ol lhe sex crimes unil lor lhe Manhallan dislricl
allorney's ollce lor 25 years, mainlained lhal
in lhe criminal juslice syslem "gray rape is nol a
new lerm and nol a new experience."
"ll's always been my job in law enlorcemenl
lo separale oul lhe lacls," remarked lairslein.
"Lvery case has lo be looked al carelully and
dillerenlly."
"ll can slill be rape il a woman doesn'l say
no bul slill doesn'l say yes," commenled Poberl
Laurino, chiel assislanl proseculor in Lssex
Counly, NJ. He poinled lo whal he saw as a
larger queslion in such cases, namely lhe recre-
alional use ol drugs and alcohol, which he said
has slarled lo reach lhe proporlions ol a "public
heallh crisis."
According lo one sludy ciled by Laurino, 40
percenl ol women who are examined lor sexual
assaull admilled lo having used drugs or alcohol.
"Predalors use alcohol slralegically," he said,
"because lhey know il's going lo impair lhe cred-
ibilily ol lhe viclim."
Poinling lo lhe prevailing cullure ol masculin-
ily, lrvin ol Men Can Slop Pape added lhal leach-
ing men whal lo lhink and do regarding sexual
assaull is more valuable lhan leaching women
how lo deal wilh il.
"We live in a man's world and women don'l
know lhey have lhe righl lo say no," poinled oul
one lemale sludenl. "ll's imporlanl lor women
nol lo blame ourselves," said anolher sludenl.

w||h a |uroo:e series on November 3 wilh a pro-
duclion ol "An Arl ol Survival. Tribule lo lhe Per-
lorming Arlisls ol Theresiensladl." This scripled,
semi-slaged concerl ol music lhal was perlormed
in lhe Terezin concenlralion camp by Jewish
prisoners during World War ll is being broughl
lo lhe College by
Caroline Sloessinger,
arlislic direclor ol lhe
program.
The lribule will be
narraled by Academy
Award-nominaled
aclress Lynn Pedgrave
and Tony Award win-
ner Ceorge Hearn,
who will draw lrom
lhe words ol lhe
survivors ol Terezin
and lrom documenled hislorical lacls. The music
will be perlormed by dislinguished inlernalional
arlisls, including lhe Long lsland Philharmonic
Orcheslra under lhe direclion ol David Wiley, lhe
Oralorio Sociely ol New York, dislinguished Mel-
ropolilan Opera soloisls bass-barilone Terry Cook
and sopranos Camellia Johnson and Monica
Yunus, and inslrumenlal soloisls Sirena Huang,
violin, Peler Azimov, piano and Julie Albers, cello.
Theresiensladl, as lhe Cermans called lhe
lown ol Terezin, Czechoslovakia, was crealed as
a propaganda ruse by lhe Nazis aimed al deceiv-
ing lhe oulside world and diverling allenlion
lrom lhe mass killings lhal were laking place
lhroughoul lhe Third Peich. Promoled as a model
Jewish selllemenl, il was lhe only concenlra-
lion camp lo accepl applicalions, and lhe Nazis
promised lhal lhose who applied lo lhe camp
would be prolecled lrom being lransporled lo
Auschwilz.
ln lacl, Theresiensladl lurned oul lo be a
way slalion on lhe roule lo dealh camps like
Auschwilz. Ol lhe more lhan !44,000 Jews who
were deporled lo Theresiensladl, only !7,247
survived. More lhan !5,000 ol lhe prisoners were
children, only !00 survived.
An ambilious program ol music was parl ol
lhe Theresiensladl ruse. Hundreds ol concerls
were perlormed by prolessional musicians, lull-
lenglh operas were slaged and even cabarel and
jazz perlormances were heard. The arlisls and
audiences alike were prisoners al lhe camp, and
lhe musicians perlormed lheir reperloires lrom
memory, as lhey had no access lo scores.
Cideon Klein, a prisoner al Theresiensladl who
was execuled in !943, said in a slalemenl lhal
managed lo survive him, "People who never lived
here will look al lhe number ol musical evenls
here wilh wonder and amazemenl."
The inilial inslallmenl ol Concer|: w||h a |ur-
oo:e will be lhe lrsl lribule produced lo honor
lhe memory ol lhe arlisls who were imprisoned
in Theresiensladl awailing lheir lnal journey lo
Auschwilz and dealh. A generous conlribu-
Caroline Stoessinger

lhis concerl.
Sloessinger, an adjuncl prolessor ol music
and Arlisl-in-Pesidence al John Jay, is a world-
renowned concerl pianisl. This lribule is parl ol
her "Creal Music lor a Creal Cily" series lhal she

ol lhe Cenler lor Crime Prevenlion and Conlrol,
has won a 2007 lnnovalions in American Cov-
ernmenl Award lrom a unil ol Harvard Universily.
The Ash lnslilule lor Democralic Covernance
and lnnovalion al Harvard's John l. Kennedy
School ol Covernmenl ciled High Poinl's Overl
Drug Markel Slralegy lor ils success in achieving
signilcanl long-lerm reduclions in overl drug
sales, such as slreel dealing and drug houses,
and in lhe violenl crime and disorder associaled
wilh lhose markels.
ln addilion, lhe slralegy is designed lo reduce
incarceralion and olher harmlul ellecls ol law
enlorcemenl, and heal lhe rill belween law
enlorcemenl and lhe minorily communilies in
which overl drug markels lake rool and lhrive.
"The High Poinl work is lhe mosl gralilying
l've ever done," said a delighled Kennedy. "l gol
inlo lhe crime prevenlion leld because ol lhe
crack epidemic and whal il was doing lo com-
munilies, and aller all lhis lime perhaps we're
lnally gelling somewhere. This holds oul hope
lor prolecling communilies bolh lrom drugs
and violence and lrom lhe uninlended conse-
quences ol rampanl law enlorcemenl. ll gives
us a lramework lor working on racial issues lhal
lerrily us so deeply we can'l even acknowledge
lhem. The people in High Poinl are selless, seri-
ous and courageous, and lhey deserve lhis award
complelely."
The High Poinl Police Deparlmenl will receive
S!00,000 lo promole replicalion ol ils drug mar-
kel slralegy and share besl praclices around lhe
counlry.
The drug markel slralegy, launched in 2003,
is an expansion ol a Pepeal Ollender Nolilca-
lion Slralegy crealed six years earlier in High
Poinl, which produced signilcanl and suslainable
reduclions in crime lhrough collaboralion wilh
communily leaders. Prior lo lhe launch ol lhe
culling-edge slralegies, lhe police deparlmenl
was largely inelleclual in slemming drug lral-
lcking and violenl crime, employing sweeping,
unlocused police crackdowns lhal lended lo
alienale lhe communily.
Cenlral lo lhe Overl Drug Markel Slralegy
is lrank communicalion belween police and
lhe communily aboul lhe inellecliveness and
counlerproducliveness ol lradilional drug en-
lorcemenl approaches, lhe deep bul unspoken
racial issues lhal divide communilies and lhe
police, lhe need lor communilies lo arliculale
norms againsl drug dealing and violence, and
lhe imporlance ol seeing even drug dealers as
members ol lhe communily who deserve respecl
and assislance,
The slralegy idenliles neighborhood drug
markels, builds criminal cases againsl low-level
dealers, reaches oul lo dealers' lamilies and
olhers who are close lo lhem, and brings deal-
ers, lamily members, communily members and
lhe police logelher in lace-lo-lace meelings. Al
lhese sessions, police lell lhe dealers lhal lhe
case againsl lhem will be suspended il lhey slop
selling drugs bul immedialely reaclivaled il lhey
do nol. Communily and lamily members make il
clear lhal while lhe dealers are valued as people,
lheir criminalily is unequivocally rejecled. And
social service providers inlorm lhe dealers lhal
lhey and lheir lamilies will be assured whalever
help lhey need wilh lood, housing, clolhing,
educalion and job assislance.
Kennedy worked wilh lhe High Poinl police
lo relne and implemenl lhe slralegy. Since May
2004, lhe slralegy has been applied in lour
neighborhoods. As a resull, lhere is virlually no
remaining public drug dealing in lhe cily, and
serious crime has lallen 20 percenl cilywide.
"ll produces resulls lhal are so dramalic il's
almosl incredible," said High Poinl Police Chiel
James lealy. "ll is suslainable. ll does nol pro-
duce lhe communily harms lhal our lradilional
slreel-sweeping, unlocused ellorls ol lhe pasl
have. The mosl imporlanl benell ol lhis work by
lhe people ol High Poinl is lhe reconcilialion lhal
emerges lrom lhe dialogue belween lhe minorily
communily and lhe police. ll's nolhing shorl ol
miraculous."
The High Poinl slralegy has been replicaled in
Providence, Pl, Pocklord, lL, and in Winslon-Sa-
lem, Creensboro and Paleigh, NC.
"ll is indeed gralilying lo see Prolessor Kenne-
dy's work receive such high praise and recogni-
lion," Presidenl Jeremy Travis said. "This award
is parlicularly noleworlhy since lhis is lhe second
lime lhal Prolessor Kennedy's crime-reduclion
slralegies are being recognized wilh an lnnova-
lions in American Covernmenl Award."

A rapidly rising slar in criminal juslice scholar-
ship, Dr. Alex P. Piquero, has joined lhe John Jay
lacully as lhe newesl presidenlial scholar and a

Dr. Nicole Leeper Piquero, is lhe culminalion ol a
lwo-year recruilmenl ellorl by a number ol indi-
viduals, including Dislinguished Prolessor Todd
Clear and Presidenl Jeremy Travis, who lunded
several research projecls lor Piquero during his
lenure as direclor ol lhe Nalional lnslilule ol
Juslice.
The Piqueros come lo John Jay lrom lhe Uni-
versily ol llorida (Ul), where he was a prolessor
ol criminology and sociology, as well as Milchell
S. Magid Term Prolessor in lhe universily's Col-
lege ol Liberal Arls and Sciences, and she was

"We are very exciled aboul whal's going on
al John Jay," Alex Piquero said. "We wouldn'l
have lell llorida il we weren'l sure John Jay was
going lo be one ol lhe nalion's lop programs in
very shorl order."
Travis hailed lhe pair as "scholars in lheir
lelds who will be slellar addilions lo our experl
lacully."
Alex Piquero's research spans a broad spec-
lrum ol inleresls, including adolescenl ollenders
and delinquency, lhe propensily lo violence, crim-
inal careers, and lhe relalionship belween race,
age, gender and crime. As he summarized his
work, "l lry lo undersland why people gel inlo
crime, slay in crime and gel oul ol crime." An
exlensive lisl ol his scholarly publicalions includes
books, chaplers, arlicles and reporls wrillen in
collaboralion wilh such academic nolables as
James lyle, Allred 8lumslein, Jack Creene, Ceol-
lrey Alperl and Jellrey lagan.

slein and David P. larringlon, is rev |::ue: |n

sociology deparlmenl, brings an eslablished lrack
record ol her own lo lhe College, buill around

A Summcr io Rcmcmbcr: Symposium
Marks 80ih Annivcrsary of ihc 'Son of Sam'
Panelists for the opening session of the Son of Sam symposium on August 6 included (from left) New ¥ork Times reporter
Sam Roberts, author 1onathan Mahler, former Mayor £dward l. Koch, and Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly.
Thirly years ago, in lhe summer ol !977, a
cascade ol unrelaled evenls suggesled, in lhe
words ol one observer, "a crazy cily, a cily oul ol
conlrol". a series ol lerrorisl bombings, a brulal
heal wave, a cilywide blackoul lollowed by a
pandemic ol looling, a lrenzied mayoral eleclion
campaign, and, lo lop lhings oll, lhe conlinued
campaign ol lerror waged by lhe serial killer
known as lhe 'Son ol Sam.'
On Augusl 6, 2007, a group ol experls, some
ol whom played pivolal roles in lhe hunl lor lhe
serial killer, galhered al John Jay lor a symposium
lilled "A Cily Looks 8ack. The 30lh Anniversary
ol lhe Arresl ol lhe 'Son ol Sam.'" 8elore an
overlow crowd, public lgures, police, reporlers
and psychologisls looked al lhe cily lhen and
now, lhe mind ol a serial killer and lhe hunl lor
lhe 'Son ol Sam.'
Panelisls recalled how lhe serial killings
commilled by David 8erkowilz a nerdy, pudgy
poslal worker lrom Yonkers had casl a pall ol
lear over lhe cily and spawned lhe largesl police
manhunl in lhe cily's hislory.
Sam Poberls, a reporler lor 1he New Yor|
1|me:, moderaled lhe opening panel lhal
included lormer Mayor Ldward l. Koch, Police
Commissioner Paymond W. Kelly and reporler
Jonalhan Mahler, lhe aulhor ol |ad|e: and
Cen||emen. 1he bronx |: burn|nq. Koch, lhen
a Congressman lrom Creenwich Village, was
lrailing badly in lhe lour-way race lo become
mayor. "Had lhe evenls ol !977 nol occurred,"
he lold lhe audience, "l probably would nol have
been elecled."
The layoll ol more lhan 5,000 ollcers in !975
resulled in a "demoralizing ellecl" on lhe police
deparlmenl, said Kelly, who was a lieulenanl in
Manhallan's !0lh Precincl al lhe lime.
The hunl lor lhe killer was reconslrucled by
an allernoon panel lhal included 8rian Kales and
Owen Morilz, lhen young general-assignmenl
reporlers lor 1he |a||v New:, award-winning
journalisl Jimmy 8reslin, a columnisl lor 1he |a||v
New: al lhe lime, and lormer NYPD deleclive 8ill
Clark, who laler became a producer and wriler ol
NY|| b|ue.
ll was 8reslin who received lhe lrsl communi-
que lrom 8erkowilz proclaiming himsell lhe
'Son ol Sam.' The leller, 8reslin recalled, "had a
cadence and rhylhm lo il lhal could have pul me
oul ol business." He described 8erkowilz as "lhe
only killer who could wield a semicolon as well as
he could a handgun."
Clark, a member ol lhe 'Son ol Sam' lask
lorce, said he inlerviewed 8erkowilz lhe nighl
aller his arresl and lhal lhe serial killer had "lolal
recall ol every incidenl."
A panel discussion analyzing lhe mindsel
ol lhe killer and olhers like him included a
videolaped jailhouse inlerview wilh 8erkowilz
conducled by Scoll Weinberger, an invesligalive
reporler lor WC8S-TV. Asked how he lound
8erkowilz, Weinberger said, "l hale lo say lhis,
bul he seemed like lhe guy nexl door."
Louis Schlesinger, a prolessor ol lorensic
psychology al John Jay, and Mary Lllen O'Toole,
a supervisory special agenl and criminal proller
lor lhe l8l, considered lhe veracily ol 8erkowilz's
claim lo have undergone a religious conversion
while in prison. Said Schlesinger. "l would never
lrusl him enough lo release him." O'Toole
added. "My experience is serial killers will lie
aboul anylhing and everylhing."
Schlesinger, asked why lhe public seems
lo care so much aboul serial murder cases,
noled lhal such cases "seem moliveless and
incomprehensible, hence lhe lascinalion. They're
greal whodunils."
"l leach lwo classes on lhis subjecl and lhey
usually close oul in minules," Schlesinger added.

Donaldson described lhe course as a sludy

"ll goes round and round," he said. "ll's a case

he says, "l purposely pilch il as dreadlul. l lell

"As lime progressed, we

lhe Legal Aid Sociely, as well as a
prominenl menlion in The New York

ol lwo men who had served a com-
bined !4 years in prison aller being
wrongly convicled ol robbery.
Working wilh Peler Diaczuk, Direc-
lor ol lorensic Science Training lor lhe

Praclice, Kubic analyzed lhe ballislic
evidence and was able lo prove lhal
Napoleon Cardenas and his brolher
Carlos had nol commilled a S!.5-
million gem heisl in !994. 8ased on
lheir analysis, Oueens Dislricl Allorney
Pichard A. 8rown in January asked a

There was no physical evidence lhal linked

lessing his innocence. He insisled lhal he had

Kubic, wilh help lrom Diaczuk, was able lo es-
lablish lhal lhe bullel lragmenls recovered lrom
Cardenas' hand could nol have come lrom lhe

on dried blood recovered lrom lhe bullel casing
helped lo lrm up lhe delense's case.
"l am gralelul lo Dr. Kubic lor

rnleind noled in a leller lo Presidenl
Jeremy Travis. "The knowledge l
gained permilled me elleclively lo ex-
plain our ballislics lheory lo lhe courl.

len reporls ol lhe analyses he and Mr.

lor his parl, Kubic lermed il "a

lorney, whom he described as "allen-
live and inleresled in all ol lhe lorensic
science aspecls ol lhe case."
Noling lhal lhe crime scene, lhe
lrearms and lhe DNA evidence all
came logelher lo make a case lor lhe

is a classic example ol lhe ecleclic nalure ol a

ol an organizalion should be "locused on slrug-
gling logelher in ellorls lo accomplish posilive
changes lo benell lhe common good."
Moreover, he reminded lhe sludenls, "You
don'l have lo wail lo be elecled or selecled in
order lo exerl leadership."
lollowing Love's address, parlicipanls broke
oll inlo a number ol workshop groups cluslered
around lhe conlerence lheme ol "Sludenls wilh
a Conscience. 8eing Llleclive Leaders during a
Time ol Change." Workshop lopics included
leam building, lranslaling privale issues in public
concerns, elleclive parliamenlary procedures,
enlrepreneur leadership in criminal juslice, lead-
ership lor lhe common good in a democracy
Lalzer and Caulhen also challenged lhe view
propounded by dealh-penally loes lhal capilal
cases are lawed by errors.
Their sludy, which lracked !,676 dealh
senlences lrom !992 lhrough 2002 in !4
"represenlalive" slales lound lhal 26 percenl
were reversed during lhe lrsl level ol lhe appeals
process. Senlencing errors were ciled as lhe rea-
son lor mosl appellale reversals, and some ol lhe
dealh senlences were subsequenlly reinslaled.
ln only !! percenl ol lhe cases were problems
wilh lhe underlying murder conviclions lound by
lhe appeals courl, Lalzer and Caulhen lound.
These research lndings conlradicl lhose ol
a 2000 sludy by a leam ol Columbia Universily
researchers, which concluded lhal lhe capilal
punishmenl syslem was "broken" because more
lhan lwo-lhirds ol all dealh senlences lrom !973
lo !995 were evenlually overlurned. 8ul Lalzer
and Caulhen said lhe earlier sludy painled a lalse
piclure ol capilal punishmenl by including many
cases lrom lhe !970s and !980s, when dealh-
penally rules were being reexamined and rewril-
len by lhe U.S. Supreme Courl, causing many
senlences lo be reversed.
The sludy by Lalzer and Caulhen also lound.
º Hall ol all dealh-penally appeals lake nearly
lhree years lo be decided by slale appeals courls.
The lederal review lhal usually lollows can add
many more years lo lhe process.
º Ohio, Tennessee and Kenlucky were lhe
slowesl in resolving dealh-penally appeals, wilh
an average ol more lhan lhree years.
º Virginia resolved dealh-penally cases in a
median lime ol 295 days, lhe laslesl ol all lhe

Al a luncheon in Norlh Hall, sludenls had
barely begun lo sale lheir appeliles when
28-year-old Delalorro L. McNeal ll look lhe
microphone and energized lhe crowd wilh a
high-energy mix ol encouragemenl, empower-
menl and envisioning.
"l'm here lo help you change your lile," said
lhe prolessional speaker and besl-selling aulhor,
whose lalesl book is 1he |u|e: o| |he Came
|ow |o ´Wr||e Your Own 1|c|e|´ |n Co||eqe
and bevond! "None ol you came here lo lail
you're here lo succeed and achieve. And suc-
cess is a choice. ll you believe, you can climb a
ladder as high as you wanl."
McNeal, who bills himsell as "The Crealness
Cuy," is a veleran speaker and lelevision person-
alily who makes more lhan !00 appearances a
year belore corporalions, colleges, school sys-
lems, church groups and civic organizalions.
lollowing McNeal lo lhe podium, wilh a nod
lo lhe younger man's over-lhe-lop slyle, Presi-
denl Travis reminded sludenls lhal John Jay is in
a lime ol change. "Aclivilies are underway lhal
go lo lhe essence ol who we are," he said.
"As sludenl leaders, you are lhe agenls ol
changes lo come," Travis noled. "The changes
happening here will be incomplele wilhoul lhe
involvemenl ol sludenls."
Noling lhe conlerence's "sludenls wilh a con-

lhan yourselves. And whal is your conscience
lelling you? You should be speaking lrom a deep
place wilhin you as lo whal's imporlanl lo you as

The hope, said Travis, "is lhal you will come

ol criminal juslice, lrom eyewilness leslimony lo

To celebrale lhe dillerences lhal !00 years ol

"Oll lhe Wilness Sland. Using Psychology in lhe
Praclice ol Juslice." The conlerence was co-spon-
sored by lhe John Jay Cenler lor Modern lorensic
Praclice, lhe College Deparlmenl ol Psychology
and Ollce lor lhe Advancemenl ol Pesearch.
The lorum, inlormally called lhe "Munslerberg

high-prolle parlicipanls, including lormer U.S.
Allorney Ceneral Janel Peno, allorney and ln-

experl Llizabelh Lollus, juvenile compelency
experl Thomas Crisso, lorensic psychologisl John
Monahan, and John Jay dislinguished prolessors
Saul Kassin and Sleven Penrod.
The conlerence was held lo mark lhe !00lh
anniversary ol On |he W||ne:: 5|and, lhe seminal
book by Hugo Munslerberg, lhe conlroversial
Harvard Universily prolessor who is regarded as
lhe lalher ol lorensic psychology.
Coordinaled by Prolessor Jenniler Dysarl ol
lhe psychology deparlmenl, lhe conlerence ex-
plored lhe lalesl research in lhe lelds ol alibis,
eyewilness idenlilcalion, conlession, jury issues,
sex ollender legislalion and more.
ln an impassioned opening-day plenary ad-
dress, Peno said lhe search lor
lrulh is lhwarled when police
and proseculors do nol lake
sleps lo insure lhe validily ol eye-
wilness leslimony. Science, she
said, should be used lo vel whal
is proving lo be an error-riddled

Peno recalled how, as allorney general, she
had assigned Jeremy Travis, lhen lhe direclor ol
lhe Nalional lnslilule ol Juslice, lo compile whal
would become lhe landmark !996 reporl "Con-
vicled by Juries, Lxoneraled by Science," which
lound lhal 83 percenl ol wronglul conviclions

"l was slunned by whal l saw," Peno said.
"The queslion arose, il you have eyewilness iden-
lilcalion, whal is done lo lesl il?"
James Doyle, direclor ol lhe Cenler lor Mod-
ern lorensic Praclice, was ebullienl in his posl-
conlerence assessmenl.
"My sense is lhal lhe conlerence was ex-
lraordinarily successlul in summing up inerac-
lions ol law and psychology in lhe lasl cenlury
and in selling lhe lable lor a new cenlury ol
vibranl dialogue," he noled. "All lhe reviews
we've received express amazemenl al lhe array
ol knowledge available al lhe conlerence, lhe
qualily ol lhe speakers who presenled il, and
lhe sheer number ol scienlilc insighls lhal could
be mobilized lo aid lhe cause ol juslice. We were
ambilious aboul lhis conlerence, and lhe conler-
ence parlicipanls oulran even our hopes."
Dysarl said she received numerous commenls
lrom parlicipanls praising lhe conlerence's high
qualily, smoolh organizalion and prepared-
ness. One lollow-up e-mail lrom a parlicipanl
commenled lhal il was "lnally greal lo be al a

David M. Kennedy, prolessor ol anlhropol-
ogy and direclor ol John Jay's Cenler on Crime
Prevenlion and Conlrol, has cemenled his repu-
lalion as a crime researcher and consullanl by
helping police deparlmenls in numerous cilies
reduce seemingly inlraclable crime problems.
Kennedy laid oul his message on a nalional slage
in Washinglon, DC, on lebruary !5, lelling a
Congressional subcommillee lhal a "new way ol
lhinking and acling" is needed lo combal youlh
violence and gang problems.
"No amounl ol ordinary law enlorcemenl, no
amounl ol ordinary inlervenlion, and no amounl
ol ordinary prevenlion will gel us whal we wanl
and need," Kennedy lold lhe House Judiciary
Subcommillee on Crime, Terrorism and Home-
land Securily. "Al ils very besl, our lradilional
lramework lor addressing lhis |gang¦ issue is
simply inadequale."
Kennedy has been successlully applying his
mullilaceled, nonlradilional approach lo crime
reduclion lor more lhan a decade, mosl nolably
in 8oslon, where he direcled lhe bo:|on Cun
|ro|ec| and developed Ooera||on Cea:e|re, inilia-
lives lhal in !996 helped lo cul youlh homicides
by lwo-lhirds and overall homicides cilywide by
hall. ll was a parl-
nership lhal involved
law enlorcemenl,
social service provid-
ers and communily
lgures such as par-
enls, clergy, gang
oulreach workers,
ex-ollenders and
more in a suslained
ellorl lo address
gang violence.
Aller lhe success
in 8oslon, Kennedy
adapled and applied his approach in such cilies
as Minneapolis, MN, lndianapolis, lN, Slocklon,
CA, Pochesler, NY, Chicago, lL, High Poinl, NC,
Newburgh, NY and Providence, Pl among olhers.
"We know, loday, how lo address lhis prob-
lem," Kennedy lold lhe subcommillee, "in a way
lhal saves lives, reduces incarceralion, slrenglh-
ens communilies, bridges racial divides and
improves lhe lives ol ollenders and ex-ollenders.
The evidence has been accumulaling lor over a
decade and is now exlremely persuasive."
Noling lhe "lremendous" demand lor lhe
kinds ol anlicrime inlervenlions he proposes,
Kennedy called lor a syslemalic nalional ellorl
lo apply lhe slralegies developed and honed in
8oslon and elsewhere. "This is nol a 'cookbook'
process, bul lhe basic palh and how lo manage
il is quile well underslood," he said.
Among lhe elemenls ol such a nalional crime-
reduclion ellorl, Kennedy said, would be.
º Direcl engagemenl wilh gangs and violenl
ollenders by local parlnerships ol law enlorce-
menl, social service providers and communilies,
º Pecognizing and working lo enhance lhe
"moral voice ol communilies," which alone can
sel meaninglul slandards lor communily behav-
ior,
º Lxplicil allenlion lo lhe racial narralives lhal
inlorm lhe lhinking and aclion ol communilies,
ollenders and law enlorcemenl, and divide lhem
in mulually harmlul ways,
º A recognilion lhal law enlorcemenl, while
a crucial parl ol any successlul approach, can
do harm as well as good, and lhal excessive law
enlorcemenl will nol solve lhe problem and will
lurlher alienale communilies,
º Pecognilion lhal mosl gang members are
nol depraved predalors, bul are caughl up in
loxic group and slreel dynamics nol ol lheir own
making and open lo direcl inlervenlion.
"lndividual lives, lhe lrajeclory ol lamilies and
communilies, and in a very real way lhe success
ol lhe American experimenl are al slake," said
Kennedy. "We cannol conlinue as we have been
wilh respecl lo gangs, gang violence, and lhe
communilies mosl allecled by bolh."

"The 2007 Commencemenl will conlinue lhe

noled in a leller lo lhe College communily. "l
look lorward lo shaking lhe hands ol each ol our

John Jay College's basic wriling program,
"Learning Lileracy by Sludying Lileracy," has
been named as one ol lhe recipienls ol lhe 2007
Award lor lnnovalion presenled by lhe Conler-
ence on 8asic Wriling.
The program is lhe brainchild ol Associale
Prolessor Mark Mc8elh, lhe Lnglish Deparlmenl's
depuly chair lor wriling programs. He came lo
John Jay in 200! wilh lhe challenge ol revamp-
ing a wriling program lhal had evolved inlo one
geared solely lo helping poorly prepared sludenls
pass lhe CUNY wriling aplilude lesl, wilhoul
which lhey could nol advance lo Lnglish !0!.
The wriling program has a brand new phi-
losophy behind il. "ll's no longer jusl aboul skills
and drills," said Mc8elh. Sludenls are laughl
aboul crilical lhinking, revision, and how lo ana-
lyze and crilique lhe work ol olhers. There are
lols ol lileracy aclivilies and lileracy lasks."
The innovalion award, which will be lormally
presenled in a ceremony on March 22, was
based on lhree specilc crileria.

lion, locusing on specilc educalional benells lo

Mc8elh,
whom Presidenl
Jeremy Travis
lauded as "a greal
resource and in-
spiralion al John
Jay," poinled oul
lhal lileracy issues

sive course. Slu-
denls choose one
ol lhree lhemes lo

in lileralure, or universily policy/polilics and liler-
acy. The addilion ol a conlenl-rich lopic jusliles
awarding lhree credils lor lhe course, he said.
Allowing sludenls lo choose lrom lhe lhree
lhemes was one ol lhe salienl aspecls ol lhe
wriling program lhal impressed members ol lhe
awards commillee. The panel also noled lhe
use ol lwo inslruclors per course, which Mc8elh
conceded makes lhe program "nol a cheap
venlure." Since lhe pilol version ol lhe course
was launched lour years ago, Mc8elh has lended
lo rely on a "SWAT leam" ol veleran leachers
paired wilh novice inslruclors.
The Lnglish !00 lnlensive course, lormally
known as "Learning Lileracy by Sludying Lil-
eracy," requires sludenls lo allend six one-hour
sessions ol peer luloring in eilher lhe College's
Wriling Cenler or lhe Lnglish Language Supporl
Cenler in addilion lo lhe six credil-hours ol class-
room conlacl. Sludenls musl also submil a lnal
porllolio ol lheir wrillen work belore lhey are
allowed lo sil lor lhe ACT prolciency exam.
Mc8elh, who also serves as John Jay's Wril-
ing Across lhe Curriculum Coordinalor, mainlains
lhal lhe developmenl ol composilion skills is "all
aboul process. ll's a series ol sleps, and once
you've inlernalized lhe process you never have lo
lhink aboul il anymore."
The award-winning program has laken hold
al John Jay, and Mc8elh noles, "l could never
have done lhis wilhoul lhe supporl ol lhe inslilu-
lion and lhe lacully supporl lhal has included
conslruclive crilicism where needed." The pass
rale on lhe prolciency exam is up sharply as a
resull ol lhe new course, a clear sign ol ils el-
lecliveness.
"We're looking lo make sludenls more lex-
ible, more supple in lheir lileracy abililies," said
Mc8elh.

The lranslormalion ol John Jay lrom a com-
prehensive college one lhal ollers bolh bac-
calaureale and associale degrees lo a senior
college wilhin lhe Cily Universily syslem is well
underway. Pivolal developmenls in 2006 included
lhe endorsemenl by lhe College Council ol a key
"crilical choices" proposal, and lhe unveiling ol a
lour-year ||an |or |nve:|men| |n Academ|c |xce|-
|ence a| Iohn Iav.
The lnveslmenl Plan will dramalically aller
lhe academic landscape al John Jay, paving lhe
way lor lhe reinlroduclion ol liberal arls majors,
which have nol been ollered by lhe College since
!976. "To become a world-class educalional
inslilulion, John Jay College ol Criminal Juslice
musl also reclaim ils posilion as a liberal arls
college wilh a broad array ol mission- and non-
mission-specilc liberal arls majors," lhe lnvesl-
menl Plan reporl observes. Among lhe ollerings
envisioned in lhe reporl are majors in Lnglish,
hislory, sociology and anlhropology, along wilh
inlerdeparlmenlal majors in urban sludies, gen-
der sludies and American sludies.
Such a lisl, lhe reporl emphasizes, is "illus-
lralive, nol delnilive."
Presidenl Jeremy Travis noled lhal "lhese
|liberal arls¦ majors will be dillerenl.because
lhey are ollered al a college wilh a unique crimi-
nal juslice mission." lurlhermore, according lo
lhe lnveslmenl Plan reporl, lhe expansion ol
liberal arls majors can be expecled lo spur lhe
enrollmenl ol baccalaureale-degree sludenls,
more lhan ollselling lhe loss ol sludenls lrom
lhe eliminalion ol associale-degree programs.
ln May 2006, lhe College Council voled
wilhoul opposilion lo adopl a lour-year plan lo
eliminale John Jay's associale-degree programs
and, in concerl wilh a number ol CUNY com-
munily colleges, creale a nelwork ol parlnerships
lhal will provide palhways leading lrom new
associale degree programs on lhose campuses lo
John Jay baccalaureale programs.
Travis noled lhal Provosl Michael Sleinman
and Dean ol Undergraduale Sludies Jane 8owers
have been lacililaling a series ol "high-energy
meelings" wilh CUNY communily colleges lo de-
velop and lormalize lhe educalional parlnerships.
Through lhe parlnerships, sludenls who do
nol meel admission slandards lor baccalaureale
programs will slarl lheir educalion al lhe com-
munily college level. Sludenls who complele
lheir associale degree wilh a cerlain grade poinl
average will be eligible lo lransler lo John Jay lo
conlinue loward a baccalaureale degree.
"There are lhousands ol sludenls who wanl
lo gel a degree in criminal juslice," Travis said
in an inlerview wilh 1he Ch|e|, a civil service
locused newspaper. "We are looking lo lap inlo
lhal inleresl, and lhe John Jay experlise and
brand will help allracl sludenls lo lhose commu-
nily college campuses."
John Jay will work wilh Oueensborough
Communily College and 8orough ol Manhal-
lan Communily College lo creale a joinl degree
program in lorensic science, and wilh 8ronx
Communily College and LaCuardia Communily
College lo develop joinl curriculums in criminal
juslice.
"We are very exciled lhal John Jay has decid-
ed lo parlner wilh our college," Oueensborough
Presidenl Lduardo J. Marli lold 1he Ch|e|. "This
opens up lhe pipeline lor lhe people in Long
lsland and Oueens lo a very lne college in lhe
criminal juslice area."
The lnveslmenl Plan is an overall slralegy lo
provide John Jay wilh "lhe necessary academic
inlraslruclure lo lranslorm lhe College inlo an
inslilulion lhal meels
lhe Universily's slan-
dards lor academic
excellence." The plan
is designed lo work in
coordinalion wilh lhe
CUNY Compacl plan
lo achieve signilcanl
increases in lacully and
slall lunding levels.
While opening lhe
door lo a broad array ol
new liberal arls majors,
lhe lnveslmenl Plan will
also provide "sullcienl,
slralegic inveslmenls
in signalure subjecl
areas," such as criminal
juslice, lorensic psy-
chology and lorensic
science, where rapid growlh has laxed "precisely
lhe areas lhal conslilule lhe repulalional value ol
John Jay," as lhe reporl slales.
A new docloral program in lorensic science
will be crealed, in conjunclion wilh lhe CUNY
Craduale Cenler. The PhD program will be lhe
lrsl ol ils kind in lhe Uniled Slales.
The plan also calls lor new inlusions ol re-
sources lor academic supporl services, including
library supporl and lechnology supporl, class-
room lechnology, dislance learning, web applica-
lions and lacully desklop supporl.
"To supporl new majors, courses, programs
and olher inilialives.an increase in lhe library
budgel is crucial," lhe reporl observes, as slall-
ing and lunds lor book acquisilions have lailed
lo keep pace wilh lhe College's growlh.
No books have been purchased in liberal arls
disciplines lhal are nol relaled lo lhe College's
criminal juslice mission since !976, and as a
resull lhe "developmenl ol new colleclions in
lhese areas will be essenlial lo lhe launching ol
new liberal arls degrees."
Classroom lechnology inilialives will locus on
enhancemenl ol "smarl" classrooms, including
lacully developmenl in lhe use ol more sophisli-
caled learning and leaching lools.
The sludenls enlering John Jay in lhe lall ol
2009 should show a relenlion rale lhal exceeds
lhe currenl CUNY average, lhanks lo more lull-
lime lacully leaching lheir lreshmen classes,
beller academic advisemenl, more and slronger
majors lo choose lrom and more assislance in
lheir wriling, malh and science coursework. The
lnveslmenl Plan reporl predicls a relenlion rale
lor lhal class ol "al leasl 80 percenl."
"The College has one bollom line sludenl
success," lhe reporl asserls.

ln recenl years, John Jay has seen an inlux ol
new lacully members, spanning lhe breadlh ol
academic disciplines al lhe College. These new
addilions are a prelude lo lhe signilcanl increase
in lacully lhal is being projecled over lhe nexl
lour years, when as many as !66 lull-lime, len-
ure-lrack lacully members may be added.
"This year, we launch an hisloric lacully hir-
ing program," Presidenl Jeremy Travis noled al
lhe beginning ol lhe lall 2006 semesler. "This
inlusion ol new lacully will allow us lo simullane-
ously slrenglhen our lradilional majors, expand
our graduale programs and.design a range ol
new liberal arls and inlerdisciplinary majors lhal
will allracl and relain lhe very besl sludenls and
lacully."
The reporl, ||an |or |nve:|men| |n Academ|c
|xce||ence a| Iohn Iav, released in Seplember
2006, proposed lhal 65 ol lhe !66 new lacully
members would be made possible lhrough lhe
CUNY Compacl, a syslem ol lnancing CUNY
lhal is joinlly borne by lhe slale and cily govern-
menls, lhe Universily, philanlhropic sources, and
sludenls (lhrough modesl, prediclable luilion
increases). The John Jay lnveslmenl Plan would
lund lhe olher !0! proposed lacully lines.
The new lacully posilions will be spread
across lhe College's academic deparlmenls. The
lnveslmenl Plan reporl projecls lhal. 34 lacully
would be required lo improve lhe undergradu-
ale experience by slrenglhening educalional
loundalions, including lower-division inslruclion,
30 would be required lo enhance currenl majors
and programs, 37 would be required lo complele
John Jay's lranslormalion lo a liberal arls college,
and 5! would be required lo provide classroom
inslruclion lo achieve lhe goal ol 62 percenl
coverage by lull-lime lacully.
"We simply cannol aspire lo academic excel-
lence il lhe lrsl-year sludenls who come lo John
Jay College are nol immedialely exposed lo lhe
besl leaching ollered by our besl lacully," Travis
observed.
The new lacully would allow John Jay lo
have "more lacully supervising sludenl research,
overseeing laboralory experimenls and develop-
ing new curriculums," lhe Presidenl added.
Such new curriculums are already in lhe
planning slage, under lhe leadership ol Provosl
and Senior Vice Presidenl lor Academic Allairs
Michael Sleinman and Dean lor Undergraduale
Sludies Jane 8owers. The Lnglish Deparlmenl,
lor example, is designing a new Lnglish major
lhal will include courses lound in a lradilional
major while building on lhe lacully's slrenglhs in
lileralure and lhe law. |See relaled slory, Page !.¦
The challenge ol hiring a large number ol
new lacully in lour years "is nol as daunling as
il mighl appear," according lo Travis. Many aca-
demic deparlmenls are experienced al hiring sig-
nilcanl numbers ol lacully, he noled, and have
done so lrom well-qualiled pools, ollen lnding
even more candidales lhan budgel limilalions
allowed lhem lo hire. The planned expansion ol
liberal arls majors is expecled lo make John Jay
lhal much more allraclive lo an even wider pool
ol candidales.
Sludenls are lhe ra|:on d´e|re ol educalional
inslilulions, and over lhe nexl several years lhe
sludenl populalion ol John Jay College is due lo
undergo dramalic changes in numbers ol slu-
denls as well as composilion.
ln May 2006, lhe College Council voled lo
phase oul lhe associale degree programs as parl
ol John Jay's lranslormalion lrom a comprehen-
sive college lo a senior college. The loss ol ap-
proximalely 3,000 associale-degree sludenls will
be ollsel by an aggressive recruilmenl and mar-
keling ellorl lo allracl sludenls lo currenl and
planned baccalaureale programs, and lhrough
educalional parlnerships wilh several CUNY com-
munily colleges.
The reporl, ||an |or |nve:|men| |n Academ|c
|xce||ence a| Iohn Iav, released in Seplember
2006, poinled oul lhal over lhe nexl lour years,
lhe number ol lull-lime equivalenl (lTL) sludenls
will decrease "only slighlly," lrom !0,788 in
lscal year 2006 lo !0,!72 in lscal year 20!0.
The composilion ol lhe sludenl body, however,
is expecled lo change signilcanlly, wilh bacca-
laureale sludenls increasing lrom 60 percenl ol
enrollees lo 73 percenl, and graduale sludenls
increasing lrom !3 percenl lo !8 percenl. The
developmenl ol new liberal arls majors may in-
crease lhe percenlage ol baccalaureale sludenls
even lurlher, lhe reporl noled.
The lhousands ol new baccalaureale slu-
denls joining lhe John Jay communily will lnd
an enhanced array ol academic supporl and
advisemenl services. The lnveslmenl Plan envi-
sions addilional supporl lor lhe library, classroom
lechnology, inlernships, career developmenl ser-
vices, and advisemenl regarding law school and
graduale school.
As parl ol lhe planned lranslormalion ol
John Jay, lhe College will invesl in a new slrale-
gic enrollmenl managemenl inilialive lhal will
include a locused, dala-driven markeling ellorl.
College ollcials are exploring a variely ol cus-
lomer relalionship managemenl (CPM) sollware
packages lo relne lhe recruiling locus. CPM
sollware provides dala on lhe sources ol inquiries
and populalion characlerislics, and assisls in lhe

Concerned lhal lhe College's currenl recruil-
menl slralegy is reaclive, "going only where we
are inviled," ollcials are rolling oul a proaclive
approach lhal will send recruilers "where we can
allracl successlul baccalaureale applicanls." The
proaclive slralegy will include an in-deplh analy-
sis ol polenlial sludenl markels and aggressive
oulreach lo high schools and communily colleges
whose sludenls meel John Jay's desired prolle.
A separale markeling and recruilmenl slral-
egy will be crealed lor graduale sludenls.
The common lhread in bolh lhe under-
graduale and graduale oulreach ellorls will be
an ellorl lo "communicale lhe slrenglhs ol lhe
revilalized John Jay, allrm our commilmenl lo

The new markeling and recruilmenl inilialive
will allow John Jay lo "compele wilh lhe besl

sludenls who are ready lo pursue a rigorous bac-
calaureale educalion," Presidenl Jeremy Travis
