'As a former CUNY student and the daughter of an alumnus, I experienced firsthand how CUNY opens doors of opportunity, especially for women and people of color,' writes NYCSpeakerAdams.
Four-fifths of CUNY students were educated in NYC schools. 85 percent are people of color, and 35 percent are immigrants. Half of the student population have family incomes below $30,000 per year. CUNY educates New Yorkers from all backgrounds, and in return, New York benefits from over $4 billion in taxes contributed annually from alumni. Our public university system is a major benefit to our city’s economy., CUNY has endured decades of insufficient investment.
Programs, along with faculty and staff positions for critical roles vacated during the pandemic from which CUNY has yet to fully recover, need to be funded rather than eliminated. Fiscal responsibility requires balancing the priorities of our twin responsibilities to invest in our city and protect the health of the city budget, something the Council’s budget response achieved.
