In March 10th, 2016, the CUNY Rising Alliance and Professional Staff CUNY discussed the idea of a platform for change. The debate was about economic and racial inequality, which has focused increasingly on the question of access to and quality of public higher education. The future of the City University of New York must be part of that debate.
New York State needs to fully fund CUNY by increasing public investment and also modernize the state tuition assistance program to meet the needs of the 21st century student. The CUNY board of Trustees needs to freeze tuition at the current 2015-2016 status in order to provide more time to find a solution that is best for all CUNY community members.
