Please consult the PSC site for ongoing CUNY-wide actions, especially Fight for Full State Funding of CUNY and Save Lives, Save Jobs, Save CUNY!
Fight for Full State Funding of CUNY
ACTIONS | RESOURCES | TIMELINE
Investments in the CUNY will strengthen our economy and increase economic mobility for low income New Yorkers and people of color while targeting investment to the communities most harmed by COVID. But CUNY is being eviscerated when New York needs it most. The PSC urges the Legislature to raise taxes on the ultra-rich, to restore CUNY funding that would be cut in the Executive Budget and to support the first year of the New Deal for CUNY.
#CUNYSUMMEROFSTRUGGLE
Join the public struggle against deep cuts to CUNY and for full funding of the University.
