El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido!
Gov. Cuomo has released plans to cut state funding to the City University of New York by $485 million, despite a $1 billion state budget surplus.
Since Gov. Cuomo took office, tuition has increased by 38 percent at four-year colleges and by 45 percent at two-year campuses. Since 2008, the state has reduced its investment in full-time-equivalent students by 17 percent in four-year colleges. Currently, Gov. Cuomo backs legislation that would increase tuition at four-year colleges by $1,500 over the next five years.
At the same time, CUNY faculty and staff have been working without a contract or salary increases for over six years.
Join us to tell Gov. Cuomo: CUNY students deserve a first-rate college education. CUNY faculty and staff deserve a fair raise.
Urge Gov. Cuomo to invest in a strong CUNY system.
Begin at Gov. Cuomo’s Manhattan office (633 Third Ave., between 40th and 41st streets) at 5 p.m., then march to the Community Church of New York (40 E. 35th St.) to hear about the crisis at CUNY and plan next steps.
