§ 3022. Elimination  of  subversive  persons  from  the  public school  system.  1. The board of regents shall adopt,  promulgate,  and  enforce  rules   and   regulations   for   the  disqualification  or  removal  of  superintendents of schools, teachers or employees in the public  schools  in  any city or school district of the state and the faculty members and  all other personnel and employees of any college or other institution of  higher education owned and operated by  the  state  or  any  subdivision  thereof  who violate the provisions of section three thousand twenty-one  of this article or who are ineligible for appointment to or retention in  any office or position in such public schools or  such  institutions  of  higher  education on any of the grounds set forth in section twelve-a of  the civil service law and shall provide therein appropriate methods  and  procedure  for  the enforcement of such sections of this article and the  civil service law.    2. The board of regents shall, after inquiry, and  after  such  notice  and hearing as may be appropriate, make a listing of organizations which  it  finds  to  be  subversive  in  that  they advocate, advise, teach or  embrace the doctrine that the government of the United States or of  any  state  or  of  any  political subdivision thereof shall be overthrown or  overturned by force, violence  or  any  unlawful  means,  or  that  they  advocate,  advise,  teach or embrace the duty, necessity or propriety of  adopting any such doctrine, as set forth  in  section  twelve-a  of  the  civil service law. Such listings may be amended and revised from time to  time.  The  board,  in  making  such  inquiry,  may  utilize any similar  listings or designations promulgated by any federal agency or  authority  authorized  by  federal  law, regulation or executive order, and for the  purposes of such inquiry, the board may request and  receive  from  such  federal agencies or authorities any supporting material or evidence that  may  be  made available to it. The board of regents shall provide in the  rules and regulations required by subdivision one hereof that membership  in any such organization included in  such  listing  made  by  it  shall  constitute  prima  facie evidence of disqualification for appointment to  or retention in any office or position in  the  public  schools  of  the  state.    3. The board of regents shall annually, on or before the fifteenth day  of  February,  by  separate  report,  render  to the legislature, a full  statement of measures taken by it for the enforcement of such provisions  of law and to require compliance therewith. Such reports shall contain a  description of surveys made by the board of regents, from time to  time,  as  may be appropriate, to ascertain the extent to which such provisions  of law have been enforced in the city and school districts of the state.
