CUNY students rally, want โ€˜New Deal for CUNYโ€™ enacted - New York Amsterdam News 23/03/2023

โ€œFor more than 100 years โ€ฆ the majority white student population at CUNY could attend without paying a dime in tuition. But today, when the student population is majority people of color, the state takes more than one billion dollars from the pockets of studentsโ€“โ€“that is an average of more than $4,000 per student, per year. Put differently, that is groceries for the yearโ€“โ€“or a laptop and a few monthsโ€™ rent. If a free CUNY was good enough for the majority white population in its first century, surely it is good enough for the majority students of color population today.โ€

โ€œThe One-House budgets were both a positive sign in the right direction. Although the one-house budgets do not meet our full demand for a , the legislature has made the right choice to restore investment in and omit the Governor's proposed tuition hikes, showing solidarity with the working people of New York. We commend the great work of champions for CUNY, including legislators, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members, all working together to uphold the principle that access to a ~quality~ CUNY is a right for all. We call on the legislature to push even harder for the full investment CUNY needs, and we demand that the Governor complies with the overwhelming demand to end racist austerity policies, and work with the legislature to fully invest in public higher education and pass a budget that reflects a New Deal 4 CUNY.โ€ - Ethan Milich, Coordinator for the CUNY Rising Alliance

We mourn the senseless and brutal death of Tyre Nichols, and our thoughts are with Tyreโ€™s family and all folks impacted by this tragedy. This is another example of the anti-blackness, racism, and systemic oppression against BIPOC communities that pervades this country. Instead of funding for more police, jails, and militarization, we must demand funding for more teachers, resources, and education. Governor Kathy Hochul Mayor Eric Adams
