Statement on Mayor Adams’s Executive Budget
April 25, 2025
Mayor Adams’ Executive Budget does nothing to restore the $94 million in cuts that CUNY’s community colleges have endured since the start of his tenure. Enrollment continues to rebound and the economic return on investment for CUNY graduates is clear. Yet, this Mayor – a two-time CUNY graduate – continues to walk away from the City’s obligation to support its university system, especially its two year colleges which educate the very neighborhoods he claims to champion.
