World-class public higher education is how New York builds its future workforce. But with federal funding under attack and growing financial pressures on campuses, the state must step up to protect these vital institutions.

Reinstate the fourth of the fired four

Three of the CUNY Fired Four have been reinstated. We celebrate this victory for organizing and contract enforcement, but will keep fighting until all four PSC members dismissed in apparent retaliation for expressing their political views about Palestinian human rights have been rehired.
