Homer and Charles Pace borrowed $600 to rent a classroom and office in the old tribune building in lower Manhattan to teach 10 men and three women the principles of accounting and business law. That building once stood where the Pace Plaza building stands today.Two years later, because of the overwhelming success of the Pace School of Accountancy, the Pace brothers had no choice but to relocate classes to the nearby Hudson Terminal complex. Another move to the Transportation Building at 225 Broadway took place in 1927 in response to continued growth.In 1948, the Board of Regents approved Pace Institute for college status. At last, the Bachelor of Business Administration degree could be awarded!
Academic expansion forced yet another move to 41 Park Row in 1951, and two years later Pace College received authorization from the State Education Department to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree.Classes began on the Pleasantville campus in 1963. The year before the Marks Hall building was signed over to the College by Pace Trustee Wayne Marks, President of General Foods, and his wife, Helen.
Soon after, Dyson Hall was constructed, named in honor of alumnus, Trustee and benefactor, Charles Dyson. Willcox Hall was named for Trustee and benefactor Byron Willcox.In 1965, the Undergraduate School of Business Administration, the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education were established.
The year following, the School of Nursing was founded and was later named after alumnus, Trustee and benefactor Gustav Lienhard. In December 1966, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Civic Center building, Vice President Hubert Humphrey promised to teach at Pace and conducted a Scholar-in-Residence seminar at the New York City campus.Finally in 1973, the State Education Department approved Pace College petition for university status. Two years later, the College of White Plains consolidated with Pace University and the School of Law was established in 1976. The assets of Briarcliff College were acquired in 1977. In the years following, IBM Corporation opened an international education center, NYNEX opened a center and the Hastings Center moved its operations to the Briarcliff site.In 1953, the School of Computer Science and Information Systems was established as its own entity.In 1997, Pace purchased the World Trade institute, a leading-edge provider of international training programs located on the 55th floor of the World Trade Center in New York City.Pace University today is a diverse institution with nearly 14,000 students. For over years, bright, motivated and talented men and women have walked out of Pace’s many doors, degrees in hand and have ventured into the world prepared for the challenges of each passing decade.
Every year curriculum offerings in the schools and colleges are modified to meet the changing needs of ambitious and knowledgeable students.Throughout the years since 1906, Pace has grown along with the talents of those who comprise what is affectionately known as the Pace Community. The Pace tradition is something in which we can all take pride.AS A PACE EMPLOYEEThe people of Pace are the institution’s most valuable resource. The University is committed to being a leading comprehensive institution in the greater New York area.
Commitments to ongoing improvement and to the fostering of an environment of trust and respect will enable the University to be a viable, versatile institution in the 21 century. There are many qualities and competencies that identify the Pace employee. A separate Nepotism Policy applies when a faculty member supervises a Family Member.
That Policy may be found in the 2013 Pace University Faculty Handbook.RIGHTS OF NURSING MOTHERSPace University has adopted this policy in accordance with New York State Law and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, to ensure that nursing mothers in its employ are provided the opportunity to express milk at appropriate locations during reasonable break times during the workday. Additionally, it is the policy of Pace University that discrimination against and/or harassment of employees, who exercise their rights under this policy, is prohibited.Upon return to work, any employee who is nursing is eligible for up to three (3) years following the birth of a child. Eligible employees wishing to express milk in the workplace must contact their supervisor and the Employee Relations Manager prior to returning to work following the birth of a child to discuss appropriate arrangements including, but not limited to location, and work scheduling.
The Employee Relations Manager and the employee’s supervisor will work with the employee to help ensure that all appropriate needs are met while at the same time ensuring that the disruption to the University’s operations will be kept to a minimum. The University will make a reasonable effort to provide a private room or other location (other than a bathroom) that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public; within a close proximity of the employee’s work station for the purpose of expression of milk.Employees shall be provided sufficient unpaid break time to allow the employee to express milk. Generally, these breaks shall be twenty to thirty minutes in duration. If an employee believes she has not been provided sufficient time, she should immediately inform her Supervisor or the Employee Relations Manager. An employee is also permitted to use her normal meal period and/or scheduled break times to express milk. Under certain circumstances an employee may be permitted to work before or after her normal shift to make up the amount of time used during the unpaid break time(s). An employee may be required to postpone a scheduled break to express milk for a reasonable period of up to thirty (30) minutes if she cannot be spared her duties until appropriate coverage arrives.The University will not discriminate in any way against an employee who chooses to express breast milk in the workplace.
The University also strictly prohibits any form of discrimination, retaliation or harassment against an employee requesting or obtaining leave for expression of breast milk. Any person who believes she has been the victim of such discrimination, retaliation or harassment must immediately report the incident to the Employee Relations Manager.Please contact an Employee Relations Manager if you have questions about this policy or need location information for campus nursing locations.APPROPRIATE USE POLICY FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGYInformation Technology (I.T.) at Pace University encompasses the use of all campuses’ computing, telecommunications, document services, educational media, and management information systems technologies.
