◄EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION Tuesday, Dec. 16th – hours after Governor Paterson released his 2010 budget proposal, five hundred of CUNY faculty, staff and students were outside his NYC office protesting the proposed cuts in the budget of the City University of New York and the State’s reliance on increased tuition.  Their chants were amplified by the voices of 55,000 New Yorkers who had sent postcards to the governor demanding that the State “invest in CUNY with public dollars – not tuition hikes.”  Details.
