Councilmembers’ offices were full of CUNY faculty, staff and students on May 2 at the PSC’s annual “CUNY at the Council” grassroots lobby day, organized in coalition with NYPIRG and CUNY’s University Student Senate. To press the case for increased CUNY funding, a total of 120 people took part in 36 meetings, covering more than 70% of the Council’s 51 districts.
