The PSC asks City lawmakers to fund CUNY in a way "worthy of a progressive city with a progressive leadership." Ahead of the June 30 municipal budget deadline, union members are meeting with their City Council representatives to seek their support.

The new State budget does not cover mandatory increases in CUNY's costs, falling short for CUNY. Tax revenues are rising, but forced austerity still defined Albany’s spending plan.
