1. ST. JOHNLAND
UNIVERSITY
A SCIENTIFIC FOR-PROFIT UNIVERSITY

2. LOCATION
Intended to be located on the
grounds of the Kings Park
Psychiatric Center on Long Island
NY.
The facility closed in 1996 and is 156 acres which sits majestically on the
currently state-own land. Nissequogue River (click on map for higher-
resolution)
(Kings Park Psychiatric Center, n.d.)

3. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• The Kings Park Lunatic Asylum was established in
1885 on more than 800 acres.
• A self-sufficient farm community “The Society of St.
Johnland” was established, providing work for
thousands of staff members and nurses.
• The name was changed in 1895 to Kings Park State
Hospital
• In 1900, the hospital housed 2,697 patients and 454
staff members
(Kings Park Psychiatric Center , n.d.)

4. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• In the 50s, pharmaceutical company Smith, Kline, &
French began marketing Thorazine directly through
the state governments to the hospitals.
• People who used to need constant supervision in a hospital
setting were now able to lead more normal lives.
• Eventually, with very few patients left living in the
buildings, Kings Park began closing down in the
1970s, until no one was left in 1996.
• Since 1996, several proposals have been made as
to what to do with the land (Kantor, 1999).
• No Decision has yet been made
(Kings Park Psychiatric Center , n.d.)

5. MISSION
• St. Johnland University is committed to science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
education and innovation by enabling a first-class
experience for students through engagement with
the university‟s entrepreneurial spirit and support of
creativity, and by earning income primarily from
nongovernment sources. (adapted from Galbraith, 2010).
“There is no metric in higher education comparable to money in
business, and no goal comparable to „profits‟”
(Birnbaum, 2004, p. 11)

6. EARNING INCOME FROM
NONGOVERNMENT SOURCES
• St. Johnland is a break from traditional universities.
• The University is mapping a new model for
sustaining, and even expanding, offerings in
subjects like Optics and Photonics and applied
Mathematics (Parry, 2010).
• The University generates its operating income from
the products of faculty scholarship.
• While the faculty retains credit for the invention of a
collegial product, the university retains ownership of the
product.

7. WHY FOR-PROFIT?
• A university focused on Scholarship and Academic
Freedom
• Faculty are free to pursue any scientific arena to
uncover solutions to scientific problems (Donoghue,
2009).
• These “solutions” translate into patents, inventions,
and Intellectual property for the university.
• Patents, inventions, and Intellectual property turn
into revenue for the university
• The university will generate its operating costs based
upon the revenue generated by scholarship of its
faculty and students.

8. ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
• The university‟s organizational chart illustrates authority,
hierarchy, delegation, and decentralization.
• The chart provides a picture of the reporting structure
(who reports to whom) and the various activities that are
carried out by different departments and individuals
(Bateman & Snell, 2009)
• St. Johnland University is a dualistic bureaucratic system
(Bateman & Snell, 2009).
• Instead of having a single line of authority, the president
draws from each functional area; Institutional and
Academic
• The organizational chart the dualistic structure originates
at the highest level and continues throughout the
university.

• St. Johnland plans to propose to the state
government that it should restore the level of state
support for higher education to its highest levels,
using a combination of direct appropriations of
land and facilities, and tax credits in order to
