California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (CPP, Cal Poly Pomona, or Cal Poly,〔"Cal Poly" may also refer to the San Luis Obispo campus of the California State University (CSU) system; however, locals in southern California may also use the term to refer to the Pomona campus. See the ''name'' section of this article for more information.〕) is a public polytechnic university located in Pomona, California, United States. It is one of two polytechnics in the 23-member California State University system and one of only seven in all of the United States. The university is the second largest campus in the CSU, and with an enrollment of 22,156 students, it is the second largest polytechnic university in the United States. In Fall of 2013, it had 1,059 faculty, of which 442 (or 42 percent) were on the tenure track.〔http://www.calstate.edu/hr/employee-profile/documents/Fall2013CSUProfiles.pdf〕 The university is designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Cal Poly is one of three CSUs, and one of only five California institutions, with this distinction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nsa.gov/ia/academic_outreach/nat_cae/institutions.shtml#ca )〕 The university has the oldest and largest Hospitality Management College in all of California, and one of the largest in the US with over 1,000 students.〔 Additionally, Cal Poly has the largest civil engineering student population in the nation.〔 It is the only university in Southern California to grant bachelor's and master's degrees in agriculture. Cal Poly Pomona currently offers 94 different bachelor's degrees, 39 master's degrees, 13 teaching credentials and a doctorate across 9 distinct academic colleges.〔(Search CSU Degrees )〕〔http://degrees.calstate.edu/uploads/55/64/5564d4b6ec1584227ca2d1054c759f0f/Credential-Programs-08212012.pdf〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.csupomona.edu/~education/doctoral/index.shtml )〕 The university is one among a small group of polytechnic universities in the United States which tend to be primarily devoted to the instruction of technical arts and applied sciences. Cal Poly Pomona began as the southern branch of the California Polytechnic School (today known as Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) in 1938 when a completely equipped school and farm in the city of San Dimas were donated by Charles Voorhis and his son Jerry Voorhis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.foundation.csupomona.edu/kh/wkkellogg.aspx )〕 The satellite campus grew further in 1949 when a horse ranch in the neighboring city of Pomona, which had belonged to Will Keith Kellogg, was acquired from the University of California. Cal Poly Pomona, then known as Cal Poly Kellogg-Voorhis, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo continued operations under a unified administrative control until they became independent from each other in 1966. Its sports teams are known as the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos and play in the NCAA Division II as part of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). The Broncos sponsor 10 varsity sports and have won 14 NCAA national championships. ==History== Events leading to the foundation of present-day Cal Poly at Pomona began with the demise of the Voorhis School for Boys in San Dimas, California and its acquisition by the San Luis Obispo-based California Polytechnic School in 1938. The California Polytechnic School was founded as a vocational high school when California Governor Henry Gage signed the Polytechnic School Bill on March 8, 1901 after its drafting by school founder Myron Angel. Voorhis School, on the other hand, had been established in 1928 as a private vocational school which provided elementary schooling for underprivileged boys and operated under the Christian religious principle, "education coupled with the Kingdom of God".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.allbusiness.com/north-america/united-states-california/929276-1.html ) 〕 Its founder Charles B. Voorhis and headmaster Jerry Voorhis maintained the school opened throughout the worst years of the Great Depression but persistent economic pressures forced them to transfer control to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1938. Hence, Voorhis School became the Cal Poly-Voorhis Unit and its educational offerings were raised to the same level as Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s –then a two-year college. The entire horticulture program was moved to the new satellite campus and the two units operated as one institution spanning two locations under the leadership of president Julian McPhee. During World War II most of the student body was called to active duty, enrollment declined and the campus closed in 1943.〔 Reopening after the war, Cal Poly-Voorhis Unit operated in San Dimas until 1956 when it moved to Will Keith Kellogg’s former horse ranch in the neighboring city of Pomona, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.csupomona.edu/cpp_heritage.php )〕 Acknowledging its Kellogg legacy, Cal Poly-Voorhis Unit changed its name to Cal Poly Kellogg-Voorhis Unit and offered six programs in agriculture.〔 The inaugural class of 1957 at the new campus consisted of 57 students graduating with Bachelor’s degrees in a ceremony held at the Rose Garden in Pomona and religious services at Voorhis Chapel in San Dimas. Also in 1957, Cal Poly Kellogg-Voorhis introduced the College of Engineering, the second academic unit after the College of Agriculture. The California Master Plan for Higher Education added the two Cal Poly campuses to the new California State College system in 1961 and Cal Poly Kellogg-Voorhis Unit opened its doors for the first time to 329 female students.〔 President McPhee retired in 1966, and Cal Poly split into two different and independent universities. The partnership between the two campuses remains with their involvement in the annual Cal Poly Universities Rose Float.〔 To better reflect its new ties to the State College system, Cal Poly Kellogg-Voorhis changed its name to “California State Polytechnic College, Kellogg-Voorhis” in 1966 and became the 16th campus to officially join.〔 Robert C. Kramer assumed presidency of the independent campus in 1966 (second overall as the university recognizes McPhee as its first) and California State Polytechnic College, Kellogg-Voorhis finally adopted its present-day name California State Polytechnic University, Pomona on June 1, 1972. In 1998, Cal Poly Pomona received criticism when it planned to grant an honorary degree to Robert Mugabe. Mugabe’s negative humanitarian record as president of Zimbabwe lead to protests from staff, faculty and students, ultimately forcing the university to rescind the award. Cal Poly Pomona underwent further growth in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with the construction of the CLA Building (now soon to be demolished),〔()〕 academic facilities, expansion to the Cal Poly Pomona University Library and the addition of programs such as the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies, the I-Poly High School and the U.R. Bronco undergraduate research program. Under then-president J. Michael Ortiz, Cal Poly Pomona launched its first comprehensive capital campaign in fall of 2008 to increase its permanent endowment. Nevertheless, the negative economic effects caused by the late-2000s recession has increased student fees, reduced enrollment availability, eliminated two athletic programs and introduced a mandatory furlough calendar for most of its 47,000 employees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://polycentric.csupomona.edu/news_stories/2010/06/csu-trustees-raise-fees-5percent.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.calstate.edu/pa/news/2009/enrollment-budget.shtml )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.scta.usta.com/News/steve-2010/CalPoly/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.csupomona.edu/~hr/furloughs.shtml )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California State Polytechnic University, Pomona」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
