Stony Brook University: Bibliographic Checklist
Stony Brook University was established by the State University of New York Board of Trustees in 1956 as the State University College on Long Island and opened its doors in temporary quarters at the William Robertson Coe (1869-1955) Planting Fields Estate in Oyster Bay, Long Island, in 1957. Ground for this state-operated campus was broken at the Stony Brook site in 1960 and the first buildings were occupied in 1962. The move to the new campus was completed in 1963. The advisory body for State University of New York at Stony Brook is the Stony Brook Council. The President is the chief executive officer of the University.

Self Study Reports and Middle States Evaluations
Institutional accreditation requires the University to prepare a self-study
report every ten years. This is the summary of numerous reports on all
facets of the University. The visiting team from the Commission on Higher
Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools reviews
the self-study report in its assessment of the University. The report
of this visiting team is then reviewed and formally issued by the Association's
Commission on Higher Education. The self-study and Middle-States Association
reports are listed separately below in chronological order.
