CUNY officials discuss their approach to improving transfer success by looking at both external higher education institutions and internal successes within the CUNY system. They highlight their research and collaborations with other university systems.
- CUNY has met with and studied transfer systems from various state university systems, including Minnesota, California, and Maryland
- Other institutions are seeking CUNY's advice on transfer success initiatives
- The discussion touches on the potential for licensing and monetizing internally developed tools, such as the AI course equivalency system

I just broke my pen.
1:12:16
Are you modeling or have you looked at either externally other higher higher education institutions to model after or are you looking internally at schools like Baruque, which according to the report, has a 67% 3 year graduation rate.
1:12:32
For transfer students?
1:12:35
Both.
Alicia Alvero
1:12:35
I met with the Minnesota State System, Cal State, Maryland, you name it.
1:12:40
I'm met with all of them and discovered that they all have a transfer problem and have all said, if you solve it, come to us.
1:12:50
And other institutions are knocking on our door asking how we've been able to make some success already.
1:12:56
So, yes, and looking at what's worked within the system as well.
1:13:01
So all of the above.
Eric Dinowitz
1:13:03
I have 2 more question.
1:13:04
1 is a Gail Brewer question.
1:13:07
You ready?
1:13:08
Alright.
1:13:09
You have a guy making a thing, a chatbot?
1:13:12
Was he making a an AI?
Alicia Alvero
1:13:14
The faculty member, it was for course equivalency.
Eric Dinowitz
1:13:17
Course equivalency.
1:13:18
I see licensing that and is CUNY getting any credit or residuals for licensing it.
Alicia Alvero
1:13:24
As you were speaking, I thought, we should do that.
Jen Gaboury
1:13:28
But that was intellectual property.
Eric Dinowitz
1:13:30
Intellectual.
1:13:32
Every time someone clicks it, they can he he gets a nickel.
Jared Martino
1:13:36
It's a
Eric Dinowitz
1:13:36
lot of clicks though.
1:13:38
But that's a real I mean, we have actually discussed at this year and before, whether it's CUNY or other agencies spending the money to develop something, and then some other private entity benefiting from it.
1:13:53
The very least that this faculty member could probably license it and get some money.
1:13:57
And then Lastly, you're you are familiar with the Senate for for an ever future report.
