05/16/2023	AF emails NYSED, requests update on proposal status
06/01/2023	Paula Goldfarb, Senior Associate Dean of MBA and Graduate Programs at Stern, reaches out to AF requesting a status update. AF responds, noting that OAPRA has reached out to NYSED for an update and that a response has not yet been received. AF will continue to check in as appropriate
06/13/2023	NYSED responds, indicating that based on their review, "it appears that this program does not need to be registered and reflected on NYU's Inventory of Registered Programs (IRP). Please refer to the information detailed below. Based on this information, we ask that NYU re-evaluate the requested new program application (SED proposal # 2023-0498) that is currently under review and confirm if the proposal should be withdrawn at this time." NYSED requests the issue be followed up with within 30 days. The following rationale is given: The proposal indicates that the proposed MBA program is to reside at NYU’s Abu Dhabi campus location and that students would be completing the Doing Business in (DBi) experiential learning course in NYC as part of the program's curriculum. NYU’s IRP identifies an existing MBA in General Management (SED program code 28064) and does not appear to reflect separate MBA programs for the other current DBi locations. The program curriculum detailed in the proposal indicates that the proposed MBA program is a joint degree between NYU Stern School of Business and NYU-Abu Dhabi and the sample schedule in the proposal reflects an academic calendar type of 6-week modules. However, the proposal does not identify specifics regarding program design, course locations, residency requirements in Abu Dhabi vs. New York, faculty responsibility for course development, requirements for credit hours for the 6-week courses in terms of instructional time and supplementary assignments as defined in Section 50.1(o) of Commissioner’s Regulations, etc. Based on the provided syllabus and posted details regarding the DBi courses on NYU's website, it is assumed that NYU has established processes and procedures in place for internally managing NYU-Abu Dhabi students taking program courses at NYU's main campus through the Stern School of Business.
06/13/2023	AF lets Paula Goldfarb know that OAPRA has received permission to move forward with the MBA General Management in Abu Dhabi as an unregistered program.
06/16/2023	AF responds to Andrea Baird of NYSED, confirming that per NYSED recommendations, OAPRA will withdraw this proposal and will instead follow established processes and procedures for internally managing program arrangements between NYU-Abu Dhabi and Stern School of Business.
06/16/2023	Andrea Baird responds, indicating that NYSED has officially withdrawn the proposal
06/13/2023	Paula reached out to AF to get clarification on meaning of "unregistered program." AF responds: this means that NYSED has determined that no registration is required for this program.
06/14/2023	Paula responds: "Is it still NYS approved and still considered a "Stern" (and AD) program? And, are we still governed by the same program change requirements and rules, etc.? Can we still issue the degree from both Stern in NY and AD (for NYS purposes) and market it that way?"
06/16/2023	AF responds to Paula: Our documentation and the program details have been reviewed by NYSED and, as we have represented it to them, they have recommended that it not be registered. From that perspective it is "approved" that we may operate it as presented, although it is not "approved" in the usual sense that it will be registered. I have attached the proposal in case it is helpful for you to re-review the language and parameters we submitted. We will not need to be governed by NYSED program change requirements etc. Pauls responds, asking: "if we received an official letter from NYS that they could include in their AD accreditation materials which are still under review"
06/20/2023	AF responds: This was sent to NYSED in terms of our plans, which they confirmed "In alignment with your review, we will move forward with operating the program as outlined in the proposal and will follow established processes and procedures for internally managing program arrangements between NYU-Abu Dhabi and Stern School of Business." What was sent to NYSED in the proposal was was: "NYU Stern School of Business and NYU Abu Dhabi Joint Degree Business MBA, General Management in Abu Dhabi."
06/20/2023	NYSED sends official notice that New York University’s proposal for a new MBA in General Management in Abu Dhabi (SED proposal # 2023-0498) has been withdrawn as indicated.
