Res 0585-2002

Urging the city and state to continue funding the City University of New York.

Resolution urging the city and state to continue funding the City University of New York at current levels so as to avoid tuition increases, cuts to important financial aid programs such as the TAP, SEEK and College Discovery Programs, and the Peter F. Vallone Academic Scholarship program, and thus avoid unjustly balancing the city and state budgets on the backs of college students and their families, and calling upon the Mayor of New York City, the Governor of New York State, and the New York State Legislature to increase financial support for higher education, hold the line on tuition increases, and ensure the future of the CUNY senior and community colleges and educational institutions that provide a crucial and viable economic workforce and tax base for this city and state.
